Episode 11: The Cost of Silence: What No Child Should Ever Carry

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of childhood sexual abuse.

In this deeply important episode, we hold space for a story that’s hard to tell—but necessary to hear.

We explore the devastating impact of childhood sexual assault and the lifelong ripple effects it can have on the nervous system, identity, relationships, and sense of safety.

 

This conversation is raw, honest, and heartbreaking—and it’s also a testament to survival, resilience, and the courage to speak the unspeakable.

 

If you’re a survivor, please take care as you listen.

If you love someone who’s been through it, this episode may help you understand them more deeply.

And if you’ve been silent about your own story, may this open a crack of possibility for your healing.

You are not alone. And your story matters.
