CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussion of trauma, particularly sexual assault and sexual abuse. There is a trigger warning at the beginning of the episode with a list of all of the subject matter covered. Being an adult isn't all taxes, laundry and jobs. Adulting is also figuring out how to take care of your own mental health. On today's episode, the girls sit down with Melanie Sachs, a family advocate and survivor. Mel has spoken all over the U.S. telling her story and sharing her hope with others. The three of them discuss the healing process, how to support someone dealing with trauma, and about finding the joy in life despite all of the dark that may be in it. Mel also talks about PTSD, triggers, and the magic of the ocean. Working at a child advocacy center has given her insight into the other side of trauma-the helpers. And there are lots of helpers, we promise.
