Welcome to The Water We Swim In, a podcast.
This project is a refuge for survivors of sexual abuse - a space of ritual, remembrance, and healing. Together, we hold a prayer:
We are shaped by what we have lived through,
but we are not defined by it.
Here, through conversation, story, and shared wisdom, we explore the path from victimhood to empowerment, from survival to wholeness.
May this be a sanctuary where the personal becomes universal, and every voice helps to reclaim life beyond trauma.
In Season 1, published on Substack and available to stream wherever you listen, we’ll be we sharing our journeys with:
-
Drinking, substance abuse, & addiction
-
Sexuality, kink & BDSM
-
Relationship to food and body after experiencing trauma
-
Attachment styles and relational dysfunction / codependency
-
Childhood sexual abuse & what we are missing in the cultural conversation around this subject
Beginning to explore how sexual trauma & trauma impacts the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of our Beings.
