Hope and Healing After Sexual Assault with Kristine Irwin

***Trigger Warning*** 
This is a heavier episode as we speak of rape, eating disorders, and mental health. If you are suffering or recovering from a mood or mental disorder and/or a victim of sexual assault or abuse, please listen with caution or skip this episode. The last thing I would want is for hearing these things to set you back in your healing journey or to trigger negative thoughts or emotions. Also, if you are a bit more sensitive or an empath, you also may want to listen with caution.

Kristine Irwin is a wife, mother, and advocate for ending sexual violence. She strives to bring change to our culture. Besides her family and her day job, she runs a non-profit called Voices of Hope. The non-profit allows her to educate audiences on ways to prevent rape and sexual assault. She is a popular speaker at universities, organizations, and corporations globally. 

Kristine was raped by an acquaintance during her freshman year of college. She wrote a book sharing her story along with the stories of her family and friends and how her assault affected and changed them as well. As she has navigated healing, triggers, and her book, she also started a non-profit and podcast to share others' stories and provide resources and support. In this episode, Kristine and I talk more in-depth about her story, the aftermath, her healing process, and advocacy. Tune in to hear from the voice of hope!!
