Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of child sexual abuse and its lasting impact. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

In this week’s episode, we sit down with a survivor whose healing journey led her somewhere extraordinary — into the therapy room. She turned her own pain into purpose, and today she helps others navigate their darkest moments with compassion, strength, and deep understanding.

Her story is not about the details of what happened — it’s about resilience, transformation, and the power of choosing to heal in your own way. This conversation is grounding, inspiring, and a reminder that survivors can (and do) rise into roles that change lives.
