April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month — and this year marks its 25th anniversary. In this episode, we explore what actually happens inside the brain and body after sexual trauma: why survivors freeze instead of fight, why memory becomes fragmented, and why shame rewires the way we see ourselves. With words from Tarana Burke, Dr. Judith Herman, and Brené Brown, we honor the strength it takes to survive — and the courage it takes to heal. This is not a story of brokenness. This is a story of a brain that did exactly what it needed to do to keep you alive.
