Summary

I was 5 years old when he raped me. The only other memories I had before that vivid experience was my first day at Kindergarden where I colored in an outline of Clifford The Big Red Dog, and taking brownies to pre school for classmates on my birthday. Facing it was one of the most uncomfortable and emotionally challenging moments I've ever had... but it changed my life forever. In this episode I dive into what happened, the weight I carried for so long and the lessons I learned along the way. I want to thank my dear friend Jonathan Fields for guiding me during this interview and creating a space for me to share so openly.
