Okay, Off Campus fans… we need to talk about Garrett Graham. 🏒🤍

This week, we’re using the relationship between Hannah and Garrett in Off Campus to open up a much bigger conversation about intimacy, consent, trauma and what it actually means to feel safe with another person.

What the series gets so right is that safety isn’t just about someone saying the “right” things. It’s about having the space to say no, change your mind, slow down, be vulnerable and know that the person you’re with will respect you through all of it.

We also get personal, sharing our own experiences of intimacy after sexual assault, eating disorder recovery and disconnection from our bodies, and how safe relationships can play a role in finding your way back to yourself.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why we’re slightly obsessed with Off Campus (and yes, there are spoilers).
• What Hannah and Garrett teach us about consent, intimacy and emotional safety.
• Annie’s experience of intimacy after SA.
• Milli’s experience of intimacy, body shame and sexuality during and after an eating disorder.
• Why sexual violence is far more common than many of us realise.
• What safety can actually look and feel like when dating and in relationships.
• Where to turn and what you can do if you’ve experienced sexual assault.

This is a big conversation, but such an important one.

If there’s one thing we hope you leave with, it’s this: you deserve relationships where your boundaries are heard, your body feels safe, and you’re allowed to move at your own pace.

And seriously… where art thou Garrett Graham? 🤍
