This episode is to honor survivors of sexual assault and emotional abuse. My story can be triggering so listener discretion is advised.
In this episode, I share how I asked for help for the first time so I can quickly escape my abuser. I talk about how I became transparent about my truths for the first time with my mom, who rarely spoke about our emotions, and how this led to dismantling the toxic Asian culture of suppressing our feelings. I also go into heartfelt stories of temporarily moving in with friends after the breakup until I found a new place to live.
Asking for help and support from your loved ones is the bravest thing you can do.
