Danielle opens up about the parts of her story she’s never fully shared—her childhood, the trauma of being sexually assaulted at 26, the pain of being in a relationship that took a serious toll on her mental and emotional health, and the drinking that led to her DUI.
This episode is raw, unfiltered, and full of moments that many survivors will recognize: silence, shame, and the deep loneliness of not knowing how to ask for help… until you absolutely have to.
Content Warning: This episode includes discussion of sexual assault, substance use, and relationship trauma.
