TW: There is a moment in this episode that is hard to hear and impossible to forget. Erin shares about being violated as a young child, and the instinct she had in that moment to stay quiet in order to survive.
Listening to her describe it reminded me how early some of us learn to protect ourselves by disappearing. This part of the conversation is not shared for shock, but for truth. For honoring the courage it takes to speak what was once unspeakable.
I hope listeners feel the care and steadiness Erin brings to telling her story, and the reminder that silence was never a failure. It was survival.
