“You saved my life. I found this podcast today and decided to listen to the Susan Powell case because I was living about 10 minutes from her house when she was killed. I was devastated by this story and have listened to, read and watched EVERYTHING I can find about it. I was listening to it on my way to therapy (45 min. drive) and while I waited for my appointment. I spent the session reliving one of the times I was raped by my father as a 12 year old and I didn’t handle it well. Upon leaving the session, I was a mess. I felt shaky, nauseous, and terrified. I sat in my car thinking about how much I was hurting, how my life has been so painful, empty, and hopeless, and wondering if I would be better off ****. I’ve suffered with severe mental health issues all my life due to the many years of sexual abuse as a child and sexual assaults as a teen and adult. I felt like I couldn’t take it anymore. Then, I started hearing Lauren talk about Josh Powell and her rage cracked the walls of the helpless terror that had surrounded me. I felt like I wasn’t alone in the world in that moment. God, you women are so amazing and you never know what kind of an impact your words can have. Letting that anger flow gave me peace enough to keep going. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!”
