❗️WARNING: This episode contains content that may be disturbing to some listeners.❗️ 'In Her Words' is a sub-series of Something Private — a space for women to share deeply personal stories of unspeakable pains and triumph, faith and strength. In the first episode, we follow the story of a sexual assault survivor who shares her journey towards recovery, five years after she was raped. If you think her story might provide comfort to someone you know, share this with them. And if you just need someone to listen, drop me a DM on Instagram at @somethingprivatepod.
