Episode 58 - Part 2 - A Story of Survival
Survivor Caroline is back for part 2 of our chat. In this episode we get into courageous intentions, how Caroline started her book and where she is at now in her journey and life.
More Than One Thing Can Be True – a story of survival is Caroline’s memoir. It is her story. It’s her ode to healing despite the odds. It speaks to the reality of trauma, and also the power we have to transform and heal. It is a story of one courageous woman, who despite carrying decades of shame, chose to own her voice. In doing so, she is paving the way for survivors to own their voice, and live a life of courageous intention.
Thank you for coming on and sharing part 1 Caroline - you are an absolutely amazing human.

In this episode, survivor Ryan details the ongoing child sexual abuse he endured at the hands of his step father.
We discuss at length the abuse he endured, the emotional and physical tolls this abuse had on him, and his perpetrators behaviours. This episode goes through the many controlling tactics used by perpetrators of child sexual abuse and the systems they face.
Thank you Ryan for coming on, shedding a light on what abuse can look like and really stepping into advocacy and trying to normalise talking about abuse. You are an absolute warrior in your own right, and i'm so thankful to have been able to chat with you.
