This episode with Emily really resonated with me. For those of you who know my own story will also know that I'm a survivor of rape too. So many of the words that came out of Emily's mouth during the interview, could have been mine!She is doing amazing work in helping women put their life back together after experiencing rape Emily Jacob is the founder of ReConnected Life. She is a survivor, coach & NLP master practitioner who is using her skills and experience to help women overcome the trauma of rape and move past their past. Emily primarily works one-to-one with women who have been carrying their pain inside often for decades, sometimes since childhood. She is passionate about helping women live their full lives and go from surviving, to thriving. Emily is also the editor of 'To Report of Not to Report: Survivor Testimony of the (In)Justice System', written by members of her community, and appeared in the BAFTA-nominated documentary, Raped: My Story on Channel 5Key points from this episode are: How she blamed herself for a while but realises after a lot of work and many years, she holds no blame in what happened to her How she now helps others to rebuild their lives How she understands that the self blame can often be more difficult to overcome than the trauma itselfHow she started her business "Reconnected Life" to be able to give the tools to others to healHow she is now able to speak out about rape and feels it's her duty to speak out for all those who can't yetYou can get more information from Emily and the support she can offer from her website: https://reconnected.life* * * *"Unbroken: Healing Through Storytelling" features individuals who have all triumphed after adversity and have not just bounced back in life, but forward and are now making a difference for others.Hosted by Madeleine Black, the show will share stories of all the amazing people Madeleine has met on her own journey as an author/speaker and these stories will heal, motivate, inspire and bring hope when they share their wisdom and knowledge with her.She really believes in the power that comes when we share our stories, that in fact we are not story tellers but story healers.

My guest today is Emily Jacob - she created the ReConnected Life coaching programmes because the tools are what she wishes she had had during her recovery from rape. Emily believes that we shouldn't have to fashion our own healing pathways and she is a skilful guide for the women she supports. In the conversation, Emily dropped a truth-bomb that has stuck with me since I heard it: "sometimes, the story we tell ourself about our trauma is more painful than what happened". We discuss this, along with: The difference between the end of treatment and trusting your recovery (6:10) Feeling like the "other in the room" (11:35) The privilege of using our voices (12:10) How coaching can help you after traumatic events (15:05) The myth of "it doesn't happen to people like me" (16:40) The importance of making connections (21:35) Rape and the criminal justice system (25:00) Defining "good" consent (31:00) What we can learn from the kink community (32:35) Emily can be contacted via her website and you can find her on https://www.facebook.com/ReConnectedLifeExperience (Facebook) or Twitter as well.

Well, it happened. I done made a comeback. It feels GOOD to be back folks, and after such a long time away from podcasting, it was nice being able to shake off the rust and dust and record with my people!!! Today, thanks to Thanksgiving, I have Emily and Jacob Pitts on the show, as well as a BUNCH of other family members coming in and out of our makeshift studio! We talk Thanksgiving food and about how cranberry sauce may or may not be overrated. Emily explains to me what college in Virginia is like, and what she was pleasantly surprised to find about being away. We dissect Kanye West and his miraculous Christian transformation, if it's legit, and if it's even our place to say. Jacob and I discuss video streaming, and if it is the future of entertainment, and if that's even a good thing. Hannah substitutes for Emily and Jacob while they talk to relatives, and Sarah makes an iconic return to the podcast to give everyone her heartwarming "DidYouKnow" fact of the day. ENJOY IT FOLKS, AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! SPECIAL THANKS TO JACK AND AUNT KATHLEEN FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO MAKING THE EPISODE RECORDING AS WONDERFUL AS IT WAS!!!
