What happens when you finally put words to the thing you swore you’d never say out loud?
In this powerful and deeply personal episode, we explore one author’s decision to include a painful chapter from her past—a sexual assault that took place in college—in her memoir. Despite pushback from some readers who questioned its place in the book, she knew this story mattered. Not just for herself, but for the millions of others who’ve been taught to keep their pain quiet.
We unpack the emotional legacy of silence, the cultural climate of 1978, and the invisible weight carried by so many who were told to “move on” without ever being heard. This episode isn’t about trauma alone—it’s about the healing power of truth-telling, the courage it takes to revisit the past, and how one brave scene gave a generation permission to finally speak up.
If you’ve ever been silenced, this conversation is for you.
