SEEING BEAUTY SESSIONS EPISODE 26: Consent, Self Love, & Healing with Coral Neubauer
At 16 Coral found herself as many teens do at a party with friends. They had been drinking {as many teens do}, laughing, and enjoying the evening. As people trailed off to bed Coral hadn't been designated a spot to sleep and found herself in the living room with another boy from the party. That's when the night became one she'd never forget. She remembered feeling "dirty, confused, and alone" as she puts it. She had'nt given consent and after months of depressions, blame, and shame she finally realized what had happened and that it wasn't her fault. Coral's experience of sexual assault happens to so many girls and women and culturally as a society people tend to blame the victim.
It's something that needs to change and today Coral and I are breaking it down and she's sharing her journey of healing and sharing how she's now become a voice to other young women. This is one episode every person needs to hear. We need to teach our children about consent and we need to teach them how to use their voices and let them know it's ok to say no, it's ok to stop midway and change their minds, it's ok to say yes if it's a wholehearted yes!
Sexual assault happens far to often, 1 in 4 college women will be the victim of completed or attempted sexual assault, 1 in 33 men will be victims within their lifetime. LGBTQ communities are at even higher risks and 80% of victims are under the age of 30. We have to do better when it comes to education and consent.
