In this episode, Harry shares his experience of sexual assault after a pride event in London.

This discussion covers drug an alcohol use, consent, and coming to terms with assault when its not as 'clear cut' as the movies show.

We discuss the mantra that its not no means no, its yes means yes, and the importance of gaining enthusiastic consent in sexual experiences.

Emily Campbell-Ross bravely shares her story of being raped by a man named Thomas Earle, he was found guilty and avoided jail time. This is her story.

Collectively as a community when the news of this sentence was brought into mainstream media, the women of Australia were absolutely outraged to see that yet again, people who convict sexual crimes were not being held accountable for them and getting off on them in the face of good character references and 'supportive family'.

Em and Madeleine go into detail in part 2 of the trial, Em's life following the assault and where she is today. We also incorporate as much laughter as possible - because if we don't laugh - we'll cry. So, hold onto your butts and join us for an enraging but important discussion.

Raquel shares her story from the beginnings of being sexually abused by a family member as a child, to the podcast series she created as a means to break free from the subsequent trauma and exploring life beyond the survivor narrative.

We discuss her transformation since releasing 'Silent Waves' - the podcast series which explores her own trauma and family circumstances. To her giving herself 'permission to find bliss', as she embarked on a new journey in Brazil. It is a heartwarming and hopeful discussion, that shows us the many faces of trauma and healing, and really proves that there is so much life after abuse.

Jordyn Gray, a former Airforce Officer who was sexually assaulted on base by a colleague, shares her story with Madeleine. This goes into life on base, the assault and subsequent processes that ensued as a response. This is Part 3 of a multi part series with Jordyn, and she goes into so much detail about her experience which is so invaluable, as stories from members of the Australian Defence Force rarely are able to or do share their experiences of being victimised.

Jordyn has since started the Athena Project which is Veteran-Survivor founded support group for women veterans and military spouses who are survivors of SGBV. Please connect with Jordyn or the Athena Project via the below links!
