My guest today is a survivor, speaker, activist and storyteller. She’s a wearer of many hats. Which we get deep into in this chat. This is also a deep chat in many other ways because my guest and darling friend Brittany Piper has overcome not just one, but many of the most horrific events any of us could imagine: sexual assault, eating disorders, the death of her brother and alcoholism. Brittany, not to sound cliche, turned her pain into purpose and is now a leading national expert speaker on sexual violence and prevention, as well as a healing and wellness coach. She uses her story of adversity, resilience and triumph to empower and inspire women to take brave action in their own lives and communities and she uses her story of trauma to inspire me in this interview to OWN my own stories even more than I already own my own stories, and I hope she inspires you in this chat to own yours too. And to watch more Law and Order SVU.   Press play to hear:   How Brittany miracuously decided to see her trauma as a gift. The importance of OWNING your stories (and how that relates to ice cream!). That more experiences than you might think count as trauma. And why that’s ok. Even good? How to maybe stop using alcohol as a tool, if you are? How to use letter writing as a form of self love. Why sharing is way more than caring. A few good Law and Order SVU analogies. How breath and plants are legit a form of healing from trauma. And a lot more!
