*Trigger Warning* 

Welcome to episode 4 of the BB podcast! Today I’ll be discussing a very heavy topic and everything that comes with it. I myself am a survivor of sexual assault and speaking out for all women has and will always be my mission. I want all women to know that they can experience freedom from the horrible traumas that they have been through but with that to also know the feelings, emotional trauma, mental illness, ptsd, physical and mental issues associated are equally as valid and important in the healing journey! I’ll be sharing my own feelings and struggles along with research to help better explain how the brain is affected as a result of this type of trauma. Thank you for all of your time and support. It truly makes a difference and means the world to me!
