We feel blessed to have this platform and want use it to create goodness through our upraised voices. We'll just have to be okay with making some mistakes along the way. We appreciate your support and grace as we work it all out.

    We forgot to record the pre intro summary, so here's a snap shot:
    In this episode we discuss our sexual experiences after surviving childhood trauma, sexual trauma, neglect and abuse. We discuss do talk about what was done to us as, including molestation and r*pe, but much more about being triggered, dissociating, hyper and hypo sexuality, the ins and outs of relationships, types of therapies and healing tools and where we are now.

    We hope it helps you on your healing journey!

    Erin and Ashleigh

  • Ep 4. Forgiveness as a Survivor

    Ep 4. Forgiveness as a Survivor
    2024/10/14
    In this episode we discuss forgiveness. We discuss what it is, what it isn't and how forgiveness for a childhood trauma survivor is quite different than any other situation. This is a heavier episode. We discuss mental illness such as Complex PTSD and dissociation. We discuss in some detail physical, verbal and sexual abuses we experienced. We also discuss how we have each navigated the complexities of relationships with family, friends, romantic partners and others from a mind and body healing from trauma.

    We believe in the healing power of disclosure and learning that there are others out there like us. We feel the need to share these types of stories to help other healing survivors know that: You are not alone! You are not crazy! There is hope! and You are worthy of the effort!

    We hope this helps you on your healing journey!

    With so much love,
    Erin and Ashleigh

    In this episode we discuss how what we went through affected our relationships in adulthood. We cover topics from going shame, to no contact, to discussing sexuality and how it affects our ability to make friends.

    We've learned through experience, research and working with professionals that one of the easiest ways to extinguish the burn of shame, is to bring it all out into the light.

    We hope this helps you on your healing journey!

  • Ep 2. Grief and Trauma

    Ep 2. Grief and Trauma
    2024/09/30
    In this episode we discuss how grief is a skill to build and be practiced for loss of loved ones through death but also the significant loss from trauma. The loss of potential, relationships, innocence and more. Healing is building the skills of processing and grieving. Healing means taking responsibility for your grief and moving through it with intention. It's never easy but it's always worth it.

    We hope this helps you along your journey!

    With so much love,
    Erin and Ashleigh

    Welcome beautiful humans! In episode 1 you'll meet us, Ashleigh and Erin. You'll hear our stories from birth to now and the reason why we feel compelled to raise our voices and share our stories.

    We do share a summary of the episode topics at the beginning but also want to preface here. We are discussing child abuse of every kind, mental health struggles and mental illness, and abuse of adults of every kind. We want to raise awareness, create approachable dialogue around these topics and raise awareness for all healing survivors about what you can do to overcome the odds that were stacked against you.

    You are not alone.
    There are people out there who understand.
    That should NEVER have happened to you.
    You do have the power to change your outcome!

    This podcast is NOT for children.
    We do not provide trigger warnings throughout because we feel it takes away from the flow and authenticity of the conversation.
    We provide a summary at the beginning of each episode, so you can decide if you'd like to listen or not.

    We are so excited you're here!
    We are passionate about building a healing community!

    We are working on getting consistent with our socials and building a patreon as we go. More and more to come, as we grow.

    Thank you!
    We hope this helps you on your healing journey!
    With so much love,
    Ashleigh and Erin
