In this episode, Melissa Kim Corter is joined by guest expert Stephanie Minnick as they explore the haunted territory where trauma and myth intertwine: the realm of the violated feminine.

Through the parallel stories of Aileen Wuornos and Medusa, they explore what happens when innocence is desecrated, the voice is silenced, and survival becomes an act of rebellion.

Together they unearth how rape, betrayal, and shame transmute into rage and fragmentation—and how culture’s obsession with the “monster” hides its complicity in creating her. Wuornos’s descent from victim to killer mirrors Medusa’s transformation from priestess to creature of terror, both scapegoats for the shadow of society.

Listeners will encounter a depth-psychological and archetypal reflection on the shadow of victimization, the alchemy of trauma, and the wisdom that can rise from the wound of the violated feminine.
