We are here to tell our story in hopes of bringing help and healing to others. Sexual assault of any kind is extremely hard to talk about, much less childhood sexual assault, but we hope by opening up with our story we open up a truly safe space for anyone who may need help, just an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on. We will be bringing this podcast to you in the most honest, endearing, and entertaining way we possibly can. Laughter and tears included for free!

Ending the Silence

Emily, your bravery to not only disclose your abuse, but then to share your experience on a public platform is nothing short of admirable. Hearing your story opens the door for more people to have these conversations

This podcast is what I have been looking for.

As a victim of childhood sexual abuse it is my opinion that listening to people with experience is much more relatable than listening to ‘experts’. This podcast brings those personal experiences that so many others will be able to find a connection with. Thank you Emily and Charlotte for being so open and honest with a difficult topic that most people want swept under the rug.
