@nora_ritchie_ @unladylikemedia I’m in awe of unladylike.

It's time to break the silence on the ripple effects of rape and assault. We talk to two listeners about dating after sexual trauma, PTSD and recovery. I'm in awe of both of these women.

@nora_ritchie_ @unladylikemedia Thank you so much for tackling such difficult topics as trauma and recovery and for allowing me to share my story of hope.

What do you think about post-traumatic growth? I think it’s great if you get there but we shouldn’t have any expectations for survivors.

Hi darlings! As I re-release my book, my previous reviews won’t transfer over. Could you please leave a review for me? I’d be happy to send a free review copy to anyone who’d like one. Just send me your email address and I’ll fire a copy over.

With renos, as with trauma recovery, sometimes it looks worse before it gets better.

Two years ago I wrote to the Unladylike podcast hosts suggesting they do an episode on trauma recovery. Today they interviewed me for it, and we had a lovely open-hearted talk about my recovery, kindness and how to rebuild a good life. Airing June 1. https://t.co/4szGfHr7wG
