    McLaren to Mission: Trading Supercars for Social Change

    What drives someone to abandon a successful engineering career with prestigious companies like McLaren to tackle one of society's most challenging taboos? For Jeremy Indica, it was the resurfacing of childhood trauma at age 25 that set him on an unexpected journey of healing and advocacy. Jeremy's story is remarkable not just for what he gave up, but for what he's building. His organization, Something to Say, aims to break the silence surrounding child sexual abuse through creative approaches that engage rather than alienate. As a former aerospace design engineer, Jeremy approaches this complex issue with both emotional intelligence and analytical precision, developing innovative ways to bring these difficult conversations into the mainstream. Throughout our conversation, Jeremy candidly shares his evolution from private healing to public advocacy. He describes sleeping on couches, depleting his savings, and facing regular criticism to pursue this mission. What stands out is his nuanced understanding of the challenge—recognizing that while teaching children protective strategies is important, placing the burden of prevention solely on them is fundamentally flawed. His perspective that we must equally address potential offenders represents a significant shift in how we approach child safety. The discussion takes us through Jeremy's work in schools, where he delivers age-appropriate education about personal boundaries without introducing fear or over-complicating concepts beyond children's developmental understanding. His reflections on managing his own mental health while working with such challenging material offer valuable insights for anyone in advocacy fields. Listening to Jeremy's vision for turning Something to Say into a household name and eventually creating transformative films that spark widespread societal change reveals the scope of his ambition. His journey reminds us that sometimes our greatest contribution comes not from following established career paths, but from having the courage to address problems others avoid. Whether you're interested in child safety, advocacy work, or personal transformation, this conversation will leave you reflecting on how breaking taboos and speaking difficult truths can create meaningful change in the world. https://linktr.ee/definethenarrative www.definethenarrative.us IG/ Substack @definethenarrative FB: Define The Narrative Page definethenarrative@gmail.com
