Raquel shares her story from the beginnings of being sexually abused by a family member as a child, to the podcast series she created as a means to break free from the subsequent trauma and exploring life beyond the survivor narrative.
We discuss her transformation since releasing 'Silent Waves' - the podcast series which explores her own trauma and family circumstances. To her giving herself 'permission to find bliss', as she embarked on a new journey in Brazil. It is a heartwarming and hopeful discussion, that shows us the many faces of trauma and healing, and really proves that there is so much life after abuse.
