*Trigger warning: In this episode, we talk about themes including rape, sexual trauma, emotional abuse, and experiences related to addiction and recovery. These conversations are handled with compassion, but please take care while listening. If any of these topics feel too heavy, it's absolutely okay to pause or skip. Your wellbeing comes first.* This week, I’m joined by the wonderful Juliette for a conversation I honestly think so many of us need to hear - especially if you’re in recovery and navigating relationships feels a bit… complicated. We’re talking intimacy, over-giving, emotional safety, and how your body can hold onto things long after your mind has “moved on.” Juliette shares her own powerful story, along with simple, practical tools you can actually use. This one’s warm, honest and full of those “oh wow” moments.
