The Unfiltered Real Talk Podcast

Gripping, bone chilling, raw and riveting is only a few qualifying words to describe this powerful episode. My guest came close to being raped twice while living in Ontario, Canada and one of the incident happened in her own house! Both incidents happened by persons she knew. Rape is a sensitive and heavy conversation and our deepest hope to sharing this very difficult experience is that it will help someone. My guest also share tips to support survivors as well as for self-protection.

This is a heavy conversation, however, it is very necessary and must remain ongoing. Please take care while listening and if you need to chat or debrief with someone after listening, check in with a friend or family or reach out to me directly on social media, email, clubhouse or via voice chat on Anchor.fm. I will be more than happy to debrief with you. Thank you for stopping by and listening to the episode.
