We are here to tell our story in hopes of bringing help and healing to others. Sexual assault of any kind is extremely hard to talk about, much less childhood sexual assault, but we hope by opening up with our story we open up a truly safe space for anyone who may need help, just an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on. We will be bringing this podcast to you in the most honest, endearing, and entertaining way we possibly can. Laughter and tears included for free!
Charlotte Shipley, Emily Varner
