Strength After Sexual Assault with Gabriella DeLorenze

Content Warning: Explicit discussion of sexual assault and rape.

In an instant, everything can change. Nearly fifty percent of women report sexual assault or sexual violence during their lifetime - but what about the rest of us, who don't report it? In this episode we open Gab's past to have a brutally honest conversation about how she found healing and strength again after being raped, how she reconstructed her identity and used the experience to propel her even further into pursuing the yogic path to help others reclaim safe touch and heal. One of the greatest steps towards healing is using one's voice, and it's our honor to share this space to bring attention to the issue of sexual violence. Please know, whatever you have gone through, you are not alone.
