P.J. Maston is a businesswoman, sexual assault survivor, and victim advocate from New Jersey.

She began her career with a Playboy company in 1975.

Over the years, she fulfilled many different roles, most of which were managerial.

In 1982, she freed herself from Playboy after an immense amount of documented verbal,

emotional, mental, and physical abuse.

The moment the docu-series, The Secrets of Playboy, debuted, PJ solidified her role as a victim advocate

and a true inspiration for survivors.

I knew I had to talk to her about what came next

after her corporate career and how she persevered.

Music Thank you so much for joining us, PJ. I appreciate your willingness to chat with me.

If you don't mind, please tell our listeners about yourself and your journey.

I live in Naples, Florida, with my little rescue dog.
