Description
**Trigger warning** - conversations of sexual assault are discussed in this episode. We ask that if this is not the right time for you to listen, please turn the podcast off at the 20-minute mark. Conversations about sexual assault need to be more common because it reminds us when to speak out, how to take care of friends, and the importance of listening to your gut. The key is to start these conversations now, and often - but as always, we respect those who are not ready to listen.
After a light, fun intro chatting about an accidental pepper spray, pooping the pants, and broom ball shoes - we welcome Becca Polk. Becca is a college friend of Soph's, who gets vulnerable and shares her beautiful and chilling poems about her childhood trauma. Becca explains the phases of healing with her story, suggestions on how to support those you love if they are going through something like this, and the day there was justice.
Syd opens up about her experiences and Becca shares advice on how she has furthered her healing process with therapy, how to be there for someone in this process, and our amazing OBGYN, Dr. Sarah, hops on the mic to share some words of wisdom from a medical standpoint.
Sexual assault is a hard topic but that's why we are here, to have the hard conversations and to make sure every single listener knows they are not alone in their healing. It is NOT your fault & healing is not linear.
