Show Notes
One in five women are sexually assaulted. This is one of them. Meet Em, a writer, consent education advocate and survivor.
Em shares her story, but not quite how you might expect. In an experience that is true of so many female friendships, this story comes with plenty of laughter, candour, and… a chilli margarita. You know what they* say: trauma goes best with tequila.
