Hosted by Hecate, Finding OK-Healing After Sexual Assault and Abuse is a space built on the understanding that sharing stories is an act of collective strength. This podcast moves through the complex, non-linear terrain of recovery with a focus that is both intersectional and deeply personal. Conversations here are grounded in real experiences, exploring what recovery, self-care, and empowerment can look like when forged from a place of trauma. You'll hear from survivors and experts alike, discussing practical strategies for navigating daily life, the nuances of mental and physical wellness, and the cultural contexts that shape our healing journeys. It’s not about reaching a fictional finish line, but rather about mapping a path toward a different kind of okay. Each episode acknowledges the weight of the experience while making room for hope and resilience, reinforcing that no one has to walk this road in isolation. Tune in for a candid, compassionate resource that meets you where you are.
