Description

In this episode, Emma Belle, a domestic abuse and sexual violence survivor shares her story with immense courage. She talks about her disturbed childhood, non-existent concepts of boundaries as a minor and the aftermath of being groomed by a close relative. She also talks about her battle with bipolar since 10 years, and how she is stepping up to speak about her experiences as a mental health and trauma mentor in order to help and empower others.

Update: At the time of recording this episode, Emma was pregnant but recently had #tfmr termination for medical reasons at 13.5 weeks. The baby was diagnosed in utero with Edwards Syndrome #t18 which meant that her baby would likely not make it to term and if they did would probably only live a few hours/days. My heartfelt love and support to Emma <3


Trigger warning: Contains narration of sexual trauma
