What if healing after trauma wasn't just about survival—but about creativity, reclamation, and transformation? Today's guest, Marlee Liss, is living proof that healing can look radically different than what we've been taught. After experiencing sexual violence, she was thrown into the justice system and quickly realized something: the traditional punitive approach wasn't leading to healing—it was retraumatizing. So, she did something groundbreaking.Marlee became the first person in North America to advocate for and successfully secure a court-ordered restorative justice process, requiring her assailant to undergo mandated therapy instead of incarceration. Through this process, she proved that true justice isn't always about punishment—it can be about deep, lasting accountability, healing, and even transformation.This is the second episode in my series on using creativity to change the world—because creativity isn't just for art. It's for how we think, how we heal, and how we rebuild broken systems.✨ From this conversation, you'll learn:The radical question that changed everything for Marlee—and how it can change your life, tooWhy the justice system often fails survivors—and what a real, healing alternative looks likeHow creativity can be used to solve even the world's toughest problemsThe surprising key to true healing: reclaiming joy, pleasure, and personal freedom-Remember to subscribe/follow the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.

Claire de Mézerville López welcomes Marlee Liss to the Restorative Works! Podcast.  Marlee speaks with us about her experiences as a survivor of sexual assault. Her case made history as the first in North America to conclude with restorative justice processes through the courts.

Concerning the use of restorative justice processes, Marlee emphasizes how imperative it is to engage with fully prepared, skillful, humane, trauma-informed, and attentive individuals who are striving to meet the needs of survivors. She provides examples of centering and identifying survivor's needs and making space to hear directly from them.

We call this episode required listening for anyone that has been, or will in some way be affected by a perpetrator of non-consensual sex. It's a subject that too many know too well, but this episode goes further, to a place in the Canadian courts that is entirely different than what we're used to and it will open up ears and eyes to a different way forward for some. It may be difficult for some listeners to hear, however, there's light at the end of the tunnel. And it's thanks to Jeff's special guest this time.

My guest Marlee Liss made history in the justice system when she fought for her sexual assault case to become the 1st in North America to conclude with restorative justice through the courts, instead of sending her assaulter to jail. In this episode, Marlee and I break down the problem with the current prison system and what else is possible. The idea of imprisonment, while preventing some people from even committing a crime in the first place, can also breed more suffering in our communities due to the consequences of the legal procedures themselves. The punitive system has a way of locking patterns of violence into communities without room for change, perpetuating trauma throughout society. Modern punitive processes tend to focus on the person who committed the crime and turn away from all else who were impacted by the event. Restorative justice is an alternative approach to prison in the legal system that includes healing for all involved. It is a process that seeks to repair harm by providing an opportunity for those harmed and those who take responsibility for the harm, to communicate about and address their needs in the aftermath of a crime. Not only is there an opportunity for healing the wounds that came as a result of the crime, but also for the pain that led to the crime being committed in the first place.

Listen. We all know there's a problem with the way the legal system handles sexual assault cases. Anyone who has been through it or has heard about or read about a survivor's experience knows how horrible and retraumatizing the process can be. But what if there was a different way. A more human way. That's where restorative justice comes in.My guest on this episode is Marlee Liss, a sensuality coach and an advocate for restorative justice. Marlee is a survivor of sexual assault and was the first person in Canada and the U.S. to have a restorative justice resolution to her sexual assault case within the legal system. It is a fascinating story of her advocating for her needs after assault and getting to look her assailant in the eye and say and hear the things she needed to say and hear to heal. We also address some beliefs and misunderstandings around restorative justice.Restorative Justice! What do we know? Do We Know Things?

My friends, I am extremely excited to present my guest for today, Marlee Liss. This has been one of my most favourite episodes I've done as an interview so far. I cried many times and I feel the message that Marlee has to share is such an important one. Marlee has an absolutely extraordinary story. She was sexually assaulted when she was 21 years old and the court proceedings that followed actually concluded in restorative justice. Basically this is where the focus is on repair rather than punishment and it is not something you hear about very often. In fact, Marlee's case was the first in North America to resolve in restorative justice. I found this conversation to be truly inspiring and resonated with me on so many levels.Marlee now helps women claim sacred sensuality so they can live in self-love and inner wholeness. As a women's embodied love coach, author and retreat facilitator, she has worked internationally to inspire transformative healing. Marlee's work is deeply shaped by her background in social work, trauma-informed yoga, somatic sex education, and body image facilitation.

Our culture typically defines justice through the lens of crime and punishment. Violate the law and you will be punished. But how does justice address the victim? Are they to be healed through revenge?
