Episode 4: Seeds of Solidarity: Survivor Advocacy With Guest SFC (Ret.) Freyja Eccles

Send us a text

In this landmark episode of Thriving Beyond MST, host Dalia welcomes her very first guest — retired Army SFC and Washington Army National Guard Victim Advocate Coordinator, Freyja Eccles — for a raw, unfiltered conversation about what it really means to stand up for MST survivors.

From Freyja’s behind-the-scenes perspective as a longtime Victim Advocate (VA) to the transformative power of purpose-led healing, she and Dalia unpack MST misconceptions, the compounded impact of trauma, and the urgent need for culturally competent, trauma-informed care.

💥 If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or unsupported in your healing journey — this episode is for you.
 💡 If you’ve wondered what advocacy looks like when no one is watching — this episode is for you.
🌱 If you're planting your own seeds of purpose — you're already part of this movement.

Released in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, this conversation is bold, vulnerable, and deeply needed.

🎤 Don’t miss Dalia’s presentation, “Seeds of Solidarity: Empowering Voices Through the Thriving Beyond MST Podcast” at the 2025 TAASA Conference in Denton, TX.
