In this special episode for Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Megan is joined by the fierce and fearless Brenda Del Granado for a conversation that pulls no punches.
They dive into how people-pleasing, early sexual exploration, and seeking validation can quietly lead girls into dangerous dynamics. They talk about the digital age, the rise of sex work in mainstream spaces, and why so many still struggle to name the difference between empowerment and exploitation.
This episode is about the gray areas no one wants to touch. The ones that shape our sense of safety, sexuality, and self-worth. Brenda brings clarity, compassion, and truth for those who never got the full story growing up.
Content Warning: Topics include sexual assault, grooming, and emotionally sensitive material.
Because the girl on the left deserved protection. This is how we start giving it.
