In the spring of 1980, nine-year-old Bridget Crocker, while playing next to her home river, fell from a downed tree into the cold swollen Snake River — a scary swim that initiated a deep, lifelong relationship with rivers and river people. This year in 2025 her memoir “The River's Daughter” traces a thalweg of traumas, challenges and joys that played out in both her river life and her family life. Today Bridget hosts retreats and workshops on rivers, guides on special occasions, and is creating her dream life with her family. GUESTBridget CrockerInstagramBookAudio Book RELATED EPISODES FROM THE RIVER RADIUSSexual Harassment in River Guide CultureQueer River Guiding; 1 Professional's ExperienceTools for the River GuideRiver Guide UnionsEndless Summer 1: The Guide LifeEndless Summer 2: A Guide's SunsetEndless Summer 3: Guiding with a Healing Intention ORGANIZATIONS FROM EPISODEA DashAmerica OutdoorsRiver Management SocietyResponder AllianceWhale FoundationRedside Foundation  SPONSORS THE RIVER RADIUSWebsiteRunoff signup (episode newsletter)InstagramFacebookApple PodcastSpotifyLink Tree

What happens when you report a sexual assault? What are the processes and how do they affect the outcome of a case? In this episode, former GP Kathryn Fox speaks to forensic physician Dr Maaike Moller to demystify and debunk the process of reporting a sexual assault.

A video appearing to show a young woman being sexually assaulted in Tanzania went viral, prompting an outcry in the East African nation. This past weekend a police commander in the capital, Dodoma, was removed from her post following controversial comments in which she linked the victim in the video to sex work. So what's been the reaction in Tanzania?Also, why is Libya's Central Bank under siege? And why did Kenya's government first try to control the price of tea and then reversed the plan?

Working as a commercial river guide is one of the best jobs, day after day on rivers, helping people enjoy rivers, seeing beauty, having fun, chasing adrenaline. Creating incredible friendships, some of which might last a lifetime. And there can be a dark layer. Sexual Harassment continues to percolate, as it does in many places, in the layers of river guide culture.  This episode goes there and learns about sexual harassment in the river guiding culture. We talk with Dr Maria Blevins, long time river guide, who has conducted research on this topic. We hear from guide warehouse and staff manager, Bryant Baker, about how he is working to eliminate sexual harassment from the company he manages. And we talk with Respect Outside and Jim Miller to gain clarity about sexual harassment definitions, when sexual harassment is assault, how and why it percolates in river guiding, and resources available for guide companies to shake free of sexual harassment. SPONSORSDenver Area Nissan DealersInstagramOver It Raft Covers@overitraftcoverspromo code, free shipping: riverradius GUESTSDr Maria BlevinsUniversity of UtahPaddling Magazine article by Dr BlevinsBryant BakerJim MIllerRespect OutsideSexual Harassment TrainingsRESOURCESA-DASH websiteInstagramFacebookYou TubeStrand Squared SolutionsEngage Coaching & ConsultingEEOC US Equal Employment Opportunity CommissionHarassmentGRAND CANYON RIVER DISTRACT Men's Journal: Rough Water: A River Guide Tells Her Side of the StoryHigh Country News: Grand Canyon park's 15 year failure on sexual harassmentHigh Country News: Grand Canyon abolishes river district in response to sexual harassment allegationsOutside Magazine: Hostile EnvironmentOutside Magazine: The Woman Ending Sexual Harassment at the Grand CanyonHuffpost: Out Here, No One Can Hear You ScreamUS Dept of Interior: Investigative Report of Misconduct at the Grand Canyon River District SEXUAL HARASSMENT & ASSUALT IN ROCK CLIMBINGNew York Times: Rock Climber Gets Life in Prison for Sexual AssaultClimber Convicted on all Three Counts of Sexual AssualtSafe Outside / American Alpine Club   THE RIVER RADIUSWebsiteInstagramFacebookApple PodcastSpotifyLink Tree

CONTENT WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, SEXUAL ASSUALT. Denise faces the aftermath of her affair with Thompson. DJ Denise examines her life choices.

It's difficult to imagine having a bright future with a life full of promise, fame, and prestige, living that life doing exactly what you were wanting to do: dancing, modeling, acting, singing, and a career trajectory that was leading to Broadway and world travel and fame on July 8, 1991…and then on July 9, 1991, having it all stomped out in just a few minutes by a man whose only goal was to rape. That's what Jeffrey Epstein did to Jessica Michaels. Jessica barely knew Jeffrey Epstein. She had only met him briefly to talk about the possibility of working for him doing massage; when he invited her to his home just a few days later, she was pretty sure she had the job. But that second encounter went from a bizarre meeting of providing him with a massage, to him forcefully raping Jess. At that moment, her life caved in on her, putting her in a 27-year state of emotional dissociation and bodily illnesses and adrenal fatigue syndrome that enveloped her life, nearly destroying her physically. Jess did what she could to survive, including teaching dance. But then even more devasting trauma stuck her and her small town when several of her dance students were murdered in the Sandy Hook Elementary mass shooting. It's strange, but that tragedy set Jess on her path of healing. Healing from the shooting trauma, and healing from the rape trauma. And it also put her on a path of helping others heal from their sexual trauma. The story is more than incredible; it's phenomenal. Listen to Jess tell her story of devastating rape and astounding healing. Then, do your part to help bring justice to victims and survivors of rape and sexual assault by sharing this episode with everyone you know. The growth of this podcast is dependent on listeners doing just that: sharing episodes and encouraging others to listen. Another way to help provide justice is to Start By Believing. If you don't know what that phrase means, you can learn more . And yet another way is to learn more about and promote Jess' work on Sexual Assault First Aid, a mobile app she is helping to design and promote.   There's so much work to be done to push this world towards the vision of eliminating rape and sexual assault. And while the realist in me believes that this goal isn't really possible, the optimist in me says that we can all work together to significantly reduce the prevalence of these devastating crimes and help bring justice to victims and survivors. This is important because we all know someone whose life has been impacted by rape or sexual assault, even though we may not know it. Please do your part. You have my sincere appreciation.

TRIGGER WARNING: Stalking & R*pe   PLUS CONTAINS SPOILERS! Please don't continue reading/listening if you are yet to watch the show.   Everyone's talking about Baby Reindeer, so I thought it was time to join the conversation.   Of course, I am looking at things from an astrological edge, and when they gave specific dates in the show, I just had to note them down to take a look.   The show was launched on 11 April 2024, during a highly volatile and compelling period of planetary transits (eclipse season, Mercury retrograde, and the Jupiter–Uranus conjunction).   Unsurprisingly, the nature of the story is shocking, moving and helplessly fascinating. The themes of this dark drama really plug into the zeitgeist.    It is important to note I don't have accurate birth data for Richard Gadd who plays Donald Dunn a.k.a. Baby Reindeer, and the dates discussed during the show may be fictional dates, but that doesn't matter because I believe any dates mentioned/fabricated/mistakenly issued, always hold some sort of meaning or significance.   That said, social and generational planets are slower moving, so I think they give a general feel for a period in time, without the need for zooming in on the personal planets/details.   Chart details Richard Gadd 11 May 1989 Wormit Scotland *cast for noon   Dates mentioned in show Stalking Donald Dunn 24 August 2015 to 22 March 2017   Stalking Parents 06 June 2016 to 22 March 2017   Read my article for The Mountain Astrologer: Weapons of Mass Distraction - Astrodienst

Part of the common experience in doing interviews of victims and survivors of rape, sexual assault, and other interpersonal violence, is to hear the person I'm interviewing say that they only remember certain parts of their trauma experience, or that there are parts that they've tried really hard to remember, but just can't. Or say that there are parts of their trauma experience that they wish they could forget, but as much as they keep putting it out of their mind, or try not to think about it, they can't stop the memories, intrusive thoughts, and nightmares. But why is this happening, on both sides of that horrific experience…wanting to remember, but can't; wanting to forget, but can't? In this episode I explain what's going on, to some degree, keeping in mind that the neuroscience of trauma and memory is complex and full of idiosyncrasies. And some parts of the brain and what's happening with trauma just haven't been discovered yet. But the science has some very good, detailed, and reliable answers. Here, I try to put some of it into context for you. I hope it helps. It would be great to hear your thoughts and input on this subject…and whether you found this episode informative and helpful.

This is the concluding episode of Yri Stafylaki. It's her continuing story of how her bad situation with an abusive boyfriend got worse. Worse because the fallout of what it means to be in an abusive, narcissistic relationship is often extremely messy. Yri had been living her athletic dream of being on a basketball team that meant the world to her. She wasn't a shining star player, but she had worked hard enough to make the team, and even harder to realize her dream of becoming a player who had become instrumental in scoring points and helping bring wins to the team. Being a part of this organization was a big deal to Yri. But the problem became the fact that her once loving boyfriend, who was an athlete colleague on a men's basketball team in the mutual league setting as her own women's league, became abusive, even to the point that a rape resulted, Yri's place on her team was brought to a traumatic culmination. When she let her coach know about the rape, he ignored the seriousness of the situation and continued to allow Yri's boyfriend to be in the gym at the same time as Yri, against the agreement he had made with her. During an important game, when her boyfriend showed up in the audience, Yri became distraught, even to the point of tears during halftime in the locker room. Yri was kicked out of the locker room by her coach for being disruptive. Afterward, Yri made the difficult, but necessary, decision to quit the team in order to not have to see her rapist any longer. Then, things got even worse. You'll have to listen to the episode to get the full story. There are no happily-ever-after endings in a rape story. But there can be healing and victories; such is the case with Yri. While she doesn't play organizational basketball any longer, she is dancing, and drawing, and writing…and she discovered the Sexual Assault Survivor Stories podcast when she was looking for some reprieve from the rape experience. And because of others on the podcast who've been brave enough to tell their survival story, Yri reached out to me and asked if she could be on the podcast also. And you're the fortunate listener who gets to hear Yri share her story here, in order to help bring justice to other victims and survivors of rape and sexual assault.

It never ceases to amaze me…my podcast listeners that reach out to me with courage, strength, fortitude, and powerful resilience who are hoping to share their stories, not for glory or attention, but to help others who may find themselves in very similar circumstances with very similar experiences, in order to offer a sense of comradery and community, and to help others on their own healing journey: Yri is no less amazing! In Yri's “Part 1” episode, Yri has courageously shared her harrowing experience as a victim of narcissistic manipulation and abuse at the hands of an athlete colleague who is on a men's basketball team in the mutual league setting as her own women's league. Initially, their relationship seemed promising, with shared interests in music and his genuine concern for Yri's struggles with self-harm. However, behind this facade of care and charm lay a sinister truth: her partner was a skilled narcissist who knew exactly how to expertly manipulate her emotions and perceptions. As their relationship progressed, Yri found herself ensnared in a web of manipulation and confusion. Her partner's conniving tactics slowly unveiled themselves, morphing the once-loving dynamic into a nightmare of emotional manipulation and verbal abuse. The initial care and concern became a guise for controlling behavior, leaving Yri feeling trapped and isolated. The depth of the abuse took a devastating turn when the relationship turned sexually abusive and demeaning. Yri recounts the horrifying ordeal of being raped by her partner while she slept, a cruel and violating act that shattered her sense of safety and trust. This traumatic experience marked only the beginning of a series of escalating abusive behaviors, leaving Yri grappling with the emotional aftermath and the daunting reality of what lay ahead. As Yri's story unfolds, you will be left on the edge of your seat awaiting next week's episode that promises to delve deeper into the escalating horrors of her abusive relationship. You'll hear Yri bravely continue to shed light on the escalating abuse and manipulative tactics employed by her narcissistic partner, revealing the unimaginable depths of suffering she endured from the traumatic fall-out. It's all so terribly sad, yet so terribly true. And despite how brutally honest Yri is in her telling of these horrific events and experiences, there are those who will dis-believe and blame Yri for the nightmarish acts of her rapist boyfriend. We all need to take a good, hard look at the circumstances that are shared in this raw and frightful story and learn what it means to “start by believing.” If you're not sure what that really means, read the Start By Believing webpages of End Violence Against Women-International. ()  You'll be doing your part to helping to bring justice to victims and survivors of rape and sexual assault. Which is critically important because we all know someone whose life has been impacted by rape or sexual assault. #thrivivors #thejanbrobergfoundation #janbroberg #safeinharmsway #epizonstrategy #intentionallyfearless #thelastimsorry #feelingsmall #sasspodcast #retiredcop #traumainformed #traumainformedexpert #sexassaultvictim #survivorsunite #rapevictim #sexualassaultsurvivorstories #podcast #markelconsulting #jessicapridelawfirm #gettraumainformed #safeinharmsway #projectbeloved #saan #irishangel #crimevictimsassistancecenter #coloradoassociationofsexcrimeinvestigators #girlsfightback #outdoordefense #worthfightingfor #thejanbrobergshow #thrivivors #thejanbrobergfoundation #sassyselfdefenseguide #badassselfdefense #imworthfightingfor #vawa #ashforduniversity #amandacoleman #remembermolly #fightrapeculture #forcescience

One of the most difficult components of the sexual assault/rape healing journey is mustering the courage and strength to tell someone else your story. It can be formidable. Daunting even. But many psychologists and sociologists agree that talking about ones own sexual assault or rape experience can help in processing one's emotions, provide a community of survivors that support each other, and create a sense of accomplishment and self-encouragement that provides a strong foundation for ones healing journey. Through my own anecdotal experiences and education I've acquired through formal scholastic channels as well as through professional trainings, I've come to recognize that those victims and survivors of rape and/or sexual assault who choose to talk about a sexual assault or rape experience with someone who is empathic and supportive can lead to some very strong and beneficial outcomes, not the least of which include: 1.     Emotional Validation: Sharing the experience with a supportive person can validate the survivor's feelings and emotions, helping them feel understood and acknowledged. 2.     Reduced Isolation: Discussing the experience can alleviate feelings of isolation and loneliness that often accompany trauma, as the survivor realizes they're not alone and have support. 3.     Healing and Coping: Talking about the experience can be a step toward healing. It allows the survivor to begin processing their emotions, which can be a crucial part of coping and moving forward. “Moving forward”—this is where Ashleyann is: she's struggling, but winning. And her winning is providing the ongoing platform she needs for that continued forward drive. Her decision to come on the Sexual Assault Survivor Stories Podcast was the result of months of self-reflection, weighing options, and much contemplation. Ultimately, Ashleyann decided to come on the show, and at the end of her episode experience, Ashleyann said, “I am always, forever going to be so grateful for this.” Ashleyann joins many, many other SASS family members who have expressed very similar sentiments.

It's never easy to talk about a child being sexually assaulted by another family member, a family member who is an older brother, who knows better, who manipulates, strangles, and holds down his younger sister is even more atrocious. No one wants to talk about that. But talking about is what we need to do to help put an end to this wreckage. Ruthie Uhl is willing to tell her perspective. With her now-teenaged-daughters permission, Ruthie describes what this horrific experience did to their family. She tells it without pulling any punches. She describes the complex devastation and desolation that almost caused her daughter to kill herself. And she tells how she and her daughter pulled together to make new lives for themselves out of the wreckage. As you listen to Ruthie's narrative, you'll be struck by her incredible strength and fortitude in facing this harrowing experience. Her story serves as a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of understanding the prevalence of such devastating situations in our society. Join me in gaining insights from Ruthie's journey, and let her compelling narrative be a call to action through increased awareness surrounding familial sexual assault.

In last week's episode, Lee Cooper began his story of childhood sexual assault by telling us how it was affecting him as an adult. This week, he continues with those impacts and talks about how he managed to survive the scary and powerful suicidal ideation that permeated his life. This is the continuing story of struggle and devastation that Lee's assault had on him and the daily aspects of trying to survive; the assault when he was 10-12 years of age impacts him still. Lee describes in detail how he has managed to navigate all the horrific and painful aspects of his healing journey. One of the most healing aspects of Lee's tragic childhood and adulthood has been his study of photography and his growing photography business.  His picture taking is a particularly strong aspect of his healing. It takes him to glamorous, interesting, and challenging locations all over the world, provides him with new and fascinating friends, amazing photography targets, and the potential of financial opportunity. And his picture-taking abilities are exquisite. So much so in fact, that he has been invited to display his work at a prestigious, solo, three-month exhibit starting on December 9th of this year, and going through March 9th of 2024.  The Oldham Gallery will feature Lee's work. In a recent publication, the gallery boasted of Lee's work this way: Oldham-born Lee Cooper has travelled the world capturing the mundane snippets of life in all their glory and wonder, through his photography. From Blackpool to Las Vegas, his work focuses on the moments of existential loneliness in the humdrum moments of life in a societal system that appears to be crumbling away. If you're anywhere near Oldham, England Dec. 9th thru March 9th, make the well-worth-it effort to go see Lee's exhibit. Thank you for tuning in to Part 2 of Lee's story. It's the inspirational conclusion to this powerful, meaningful expression of Lee's ability to overcome the horrors he endured.

In June of this year, I was contacted by true-crime author, Jamie Collins, who sent me a press release about a new book she was publishing, I am Abigail. The press release was extensive, but for an explanation about the book, here is just a portion of the release that I received: Written in the first person from Abby's perspective, I AM ABIGAIL is the result of an intense creative collaboration, a memoir striking for its unflinching honesty and emotional intimacy. Abby tells her story, starting with her earliest memories at age eight, when she was Abigail Rodriguez and living with her single mother, older (by two years) sister, and younger (by one year) brother in a house filled with people laughing, dancing, kissing, drinking, and smoking all day and night. As a girl, Abby had no idea that her home was a crack house. She remembers her mom urging her to stand up on the coffee table in their living room and dance for the men. And she remembers the day in May of 1988 when a caseworker from Child Protective Services (CPS) knocked on the door of their home and took Abby and her siblings away.      After a brief stay in a shelter, Abby learns that she and her sister and brother will be flying on an airplane to Hawaii. That's where her Uncle Chevo lives, and he and his wife, Laura, have agreed to assume care of his half-sister's three children. Sad about leaving Texas and her mom forever but also excited about living on an island, Abby begins to wonder, Is there a big yard to play in? Will I have my own room? On their last night sleeping at the shelter, Abby keeps tossing and turning in her bed. Suddenly, she has a memory of the last time she saw her uncle. She was five or six, and her whole family was having fun together, swimming in a pool at a hotel in El Paso. After her mom left to walk her brother and sister back to their hotel room, Abby and her uncle remained in the water, alone together. Uncle Chevo looked directly at Abby and said, “One day, I am going to marry you.” Even then, Abby felt confused and unsettled. She had no inkling of the evil that would soon be making its way to her.      By way of publicity for the book, Jamie offered the opportunity for me to record an interview of Abigail and Jamie for my podcast. It sounded like an offer I shouldn't refuse, so…I didn't. This decision would prove to be an opportunity that I am truly grateful for! I cannot recommend for you to listen to this episode enough; it is intriguing, informative, sad...but mostly immensely critical and important to get this information out to you, my listeners.  This story is important on many levels: educationally about the dynamics of child familial sexual abuse; the sometimes-lacking response of agencies whose job it is to protect children; and the ease of which society can neglect to see a huge problem for what it is. Listen to this episode. Then buy I am Abigail on Amazon. Then tell everyone you know about this episode. Please rate and subscribe to this podcast. And as always…Start by Believing. Because we all know someone whose life has been affected by rape or sexual assault. A great big thank you to Abigail Alvarado and Jamie Collins for the interview!  Here are some important links I hope you will utilize:

Valiant Richey started his career as a prosecutor, where he moved to the Special Assault Unit, handling sexual assault, child exploitation, and human trafficking cases for a decade. He now works for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), an organization that works on security issues and human rights for 57 countries. Val is an ambassador for the organization, working with countries on how they can better combat trafficking. His extensive experience and work with so many countries give him unique insight into how consistent the patterns and functions of human trafficking are from country to country.In this episode, Valiant talks about how trafficking is fed by a demand for people willing to pay for sex. He explains how sexually explicit material further drives the demand for sexual violence and sex trafficking and the connection between how victims are treated and their abusers' use of pornography. Valiant discusses how rampant sex trafficking is and what we can do to address it on a macro level, as well as individual shifts in our perspective and attitudes towards sex buying can help decrease the demand for sex trafficking.Article: How Porn Can Fuel Sex TraffickingVideo: Truth About Porn: Valiant RicheyPodcast: Consider Before Consuming, Episode 90: Taina Bien-AiméVisit: Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe

Hot Topics of the week. Rapper Sukukani

Anneke Lucas's story is nearly impossible to comprehend. Anneke was sold by her mentally-ill mother into a murderous, pedophile network at age 6. There she endured endless hours of rape and torture at the hands of powerful men from around the world. For 5.5 years the sex slavery continued with no hope of escape. It wasn't until she was staring at her would-be murderer that she was miraculously saved. There began a long and impossible road of unlearning and healing from unmanageable trauma. To her dismay mental health professionals were unable and unwilling to delve into her story and help her heal. It felt as if the horrible things would remain with her forever.It was then that she found a therapist and a yoga practice that brought hope that things might get better. Those same practices have since brought transformation for so many others through her work as a yoga therapist. Her story proves that people can overcome even the darkest moments a human can experience. Episode ResourcesWebsite | annekelucas.comConnect with AnnekeInstagram | @anneke.lucasConnect with The Courage to ChangePodcast Website | lionrock.life/couragetochangepodcastPodcast Instagram | @couragetochange_podcastYouTube | The Courage to Change PodcastTikTok | @ashleyloebblassingamePodcast Email | podcast@lionrock.lifePodcast Facebook | @thecouragetochangepodcastLionrock ResourcesLionrock Life Mobile App | lionrock.life/mobile-appSupport Group Meeting Schedule | lionrock.life/meetings

History tells us who we are and how we came to be who we are. It also allows us to look back and see how far we've come as people and societies. Of course, history also has the power to show us how little has changed over time. John Wood Sweet, a professor of history at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and author of the book, The Sewing Girl's Tale: A Story of Crime and Consequences in Revolutionary America, winner of the 2023 Bancroft Prize in American History, joins us to investigate the first published rape trial in the United States and how one woman, Lanah Sawyer, bravely confronted the man who raped her by bringing him to court for his crime.

No one can ever prepare you for being sexually assaulted, nevermind how to live life after the fact. So what are the next steps? What kind of help is out there for the survivors? Tune in for this discussion with Sexual Assault Advocate Grace Catan, and find out about some of the great resources out there.

Matthew Bocchi's father was one of the many who lost their lives on September 11th. The news came in a highly censored manner. His mom and uncle told him what they thought was best for his young mind, but it wasn't enough for him. He wanted to understand all of the story.He became obsessed with the images of people jumping from the building and wondered daily if his father had been one of them. He badgered everyone around him, hoping one of them could tell him the truth. Eventually one person did talk to him, his uncle by marriage, but used it as a means to sexually assault Matthew. And thus began a life of using drugs to cope with devastating loss and psychological trauma. Matthew eventually chose to press charges against his persecutor only to find the legal system failing to find a verdict equal to crime. It was when he felt like there were no more options and his life was ruined, that his father came to him in the form of a sign. And in that moment, he decided to get help.Matthew began speaking in front of high school audiences throughout the tri-state area, delivering a message of hope and perseverance. The awestruck reception led him to write his debut memoir, SWAY, the first story told by a child of 9/11. He is now 7 years into his recovery journey, with plans to continue writing and speaking about inspiration and resilience.Episode ResourcesWebsite | matthewjohnbocchi.comSway | Matthew's BookConnect with The Courage to ChangePodcast Website | lionrock.life/couragetochangepodcastPodcast Instagram | @couragetochange_podcastYouTube | The Courage to Change PodcastTikTok | @ashleyloebblassingamePodcast Email | podcast@lionrock.lifePodcast Facebook | @thecouragetochangepodcastLionrock ResourcesLionrock Life Mobile App | lionrock.life/mobile-appSupport Group Meeting Schedule | lionrock.life/meetings

Stacy Webb is a former police officer and detective in Sydney, Australia. The traumatic experiences she witnessed left her with several PTSD symptoms. Mental health and personally for her, first responder mental health has become a passion. Now, as an Intuitive Trauma Release mentor, she gives back to others. She recently published a book , The Intuitive Detective by Stacy Webb.  We will talk about policing in Australia vs the United States; while they are different trauma is the same. Sometimes people forget that it is still a human being under the uniform. Next, what is intuitive trauma release?  You will learn as she shares some tools she uses. For me, I am always open to listening to new ways of healing. At the end of the day, you always need to choose what is best for you. 

There are no certified sexual assault nurse examiners who are based on Oregon's North Coast. Currently, there is one certified nurse who is based in Portland and works intermittently in Astoria. This means for those who choose to report their assault, they will likely need to travel to Portland for an examination when this nurse is unavailable. Survivors are often told to wait for several hours until a certified nurse is available and are also instructed not to shower or change clothes during this waiting period, discouraging many from continuing the process. Abbey McDonald is a reporter for the Astorian. She joins us to share more on her reporting and how the lack of these specialized nurses are affecting the North coast.

In the final episode for our Horror Comedy month, we are looking at Jennifers Body from 2009. This is a really good episode, as we pull back the curtain on a deeply misunderstood & underappreciated film. CW/TW for the episode: Rape, Sexual Assualt, Trauma. We get into the production of the film & what was missing in the final product. We talk about the real themes of the film and the messages it's trying to get across. Was this film ahead of its time? and how would it be viewed if made today. We tackle how harrowing aspects of the film are if you really break them down and how this is a really important film from a female perspective. Leigh gives her thoughts on how it handles some of the more important subjects in the film and whether they are portrayed correctly. We also get into the characters, script, humour and why we think some people would have a hard time with it. All of this and a lot more in this episode.

In the aftermath of the #metoo movement, how can we approach trauma like a Boss Mama? In this episode, Analiza talks with Chinese American Melissa Ng Goldner. Melissa shares her journey from being known as the kid who carried a violin at school to being sexually abused and raped. In Boss Mamas, we talk about how breakdowns lead to breakthroughs. Some of the biggest growth in our lives often comes from the hardest things we face. Melissa shares how today, she is grateful for these experiences. These breakdowns helped her be the woman and mom she is today. Melissa has taken that anger and pain and used it to fuel her mission - uplifting the voices of marginalized women.  Get full show notes and more information here:  Ep 4 - From Trauma to Healing with Melissa Ng Goldner — Analiza Wolf
