  • Repetitive

    It’s a good podcast, but I’ve caught several stories being repeated year to year which is a little frustrating as a listener. New episodes should always contain new stories in my opinion.

  • leads w rape, ends w jesus

    Every episode leads with a graphic tale of sexual assault. Needs some with thematic variety and less Christian nonsense.

  • Would 100% recommend!

    I love this podcast!! All of the survivors share such powerful stories, and my heart really goes out to each and every one of these people who survive awful, unimaginable things. It’s absolutely insane what the human body can survive. It really puts everything in perspective, and reminds people who are struggling with trauma that they’re not alone. I recommended this podcast to someone I knew who went through a scarring experience and it really helped her start her healing process.
