In this powerful episode, we’re joined by Christie Pachakis from SOAR Initiative to reflect on the recent World Juniors sexual assault trial - a case that has shaken the nation and forced uncomfortable but necessary conversations about consent, accountability, victim blaming, and rape culture in sports. Together, we break down the trial, the impact on survivors, and the media's role in shaping public perception. But more importantly, we go beyond the headlines to address a deeper, systemic issue: the urgent need for comprehensive consent education and the responsibility we have to teach young people about respectful, healthy sexual conduct. We also highlight SOAR Initiative’s important advocacy work, including their Change.org petition to the NHL, demanding stronger accountability measures in professional sports. Tune in for a conversation that calls us all in—and asks: what are we doing to shift culture and protect future generations?
