Episode Synopsis

With the Diddy trial happening this week and other high-profile abuse cases making headlines, I could not ignore how many survivors are feeling triggered, overwhelmed, and unseen. This episode is a soft landing — a space for women who’ve experienced abuse from men to pause, breathe, and feel deeply held.In this conversation, I guide you through grounding tools, reflections, and reminders that help you reconnect with your body, reclaim your power, and protect your peace — even when the world feels loud and painful.I speak from a trauma-informed lens rooted in social work and lived experience. Whether you're a survivor, a friend of one, or someone feeling heavy in this moment — this space is for you.⁠📚 I also recommend The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk⁠ — a powerful, research-backed book that explores how trauma lives in the body and how healing is always possible.If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, here are resources:National Domestic Violence Hotline: 800-799-SAFE (7233) or ⁠thehotline.org⁠RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network): 800-656-HOPE (4673) or ⁠rainn.org⁠National Human Trafficking Hotline: 888-373-7888 or ⁠humantraffickinghotline.org⁠
