Beneath the Hat

This week’s episode gets a bit heavy as I sit down with my friend, Rachael Carrullo as she describes her experiences with physical and mental abuse from a former boyfriend.It’s a story that many will be quick to judge and it’s also an incredibly important story to be shared.Rachael shares with us the reasons she was able to stay in the relationship as long as she did, as well as what ultimately made her leave. We also discuss the Netflix series “You”, the issues with the “Me Too” movement and society’s deep seeded urge to blame the victim.Both Rachael and I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on this episode, whether it be positive or negative so please feel free to leave comments or you can send us an email at: thecarlyfanning@gmail.com
