    Danielle shares the stunning realization that what she calls her “day of innocence” — a beautiful day with her son — was the same day her attacker was busy planning an assault in her own home. After a grueling court battle in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic, Danielle works daily to not only cope but to thrive by writing her story of sexual assault and becoming an advocate for others, all while counting down the days to 12 years from now when her attacker will be released from prison.

    S3E8: Meet Alice (she/her)

    After leaving her abuser’s home, Alice learned that anger, abuse, and control were not the relationship norm as she’d been raised to believe. After breaking away, she’s focused on school, making a life for herself, and becoming a safe space for her younger sibling. Alice shares how she’s navigating her sense of self at 19 and being allowed to follow her own dreams for the first time as a survivor living outside the control of an abusive caregiver. After listening to her episode, Alice wanted to remind the audience that she doesn't speak for Hispanic culture as a whole, just her own experience as a Hispanic survivor.     This is a podcast by We Are HER — a nonprofit dedicated to providing community to survivors by helping them become Healed, Empowered, and Restored.   If you haven’t already, please review us on iTunes.

    S3E7: Meet Boom (she/her)

    When Boom’s boss sexually assaulted her at a company camping retreat, she was frozen with fear and disbelief until the next morning when she told a close coworker what had happened. As if in a trance, she moved through the next four days without speaking to anyone. When an HR representative from her company called to ask if she had been inappropriately involved with another leader, the floodgates burst open and her mix of fear, anger, and shame came flooding out. Boom shares her long road of navigating police procedure, her family’s concerns, and her eventual return to work. With strength and grace, Boom dove into her healing journey centered on helping and empowering others.   This is a podcast by We Are HER — a nonprofit dedicated to providing community to survivors by helping them become Healed, Empowered, and Restored.   If you haven’t already, please review us on iTunes.

    S3E6: Meet Kirielle (she/her)

    When a man close to Kirielle’s family began smothering her with unreciprocated attention at 16, he, her church, and her family conditioned her to believe he was her only choice. After succumbing to marriage, she tumbled into a cycle of depression, manipulation, and assault. Her abuser was a master at twisting reality and convinced her it was all her fault, but there was a glimmer of self-preservation and Kiriele joined the military. As her husband’s abuse escalated in response to her attempts at self-preservation and independence, Kirielle found solace in new friends and a counselor, and recognized her story in a podcast she was listening to — the early seasons of We Are HER. When she learned that she could be a guest on HER, she used it as the catalyst to break free, begin her healing journey, and share her story to empower other survivors.

    S3E5: Meet Chihiro (she/her)

    Losing her grandparents was a pivotal moment in Chihiro’s life. Beginning college and seeking her place in the world amidst this grieving was the ideal setting for an older classmate at her school to draw her in and enmesh her in a cycle of grooming. This was the precursor to abuse that would escalate so quickly it caught Chihiro completely off guard. She describes the dichotomy of being tethered to someone who promotes a charismatic, caring, and idyllic public facade while simultaneously controlling her every move and stripping her of even her freedom to grieve — ultimately culminating in a violent sexual assault. Chihiro shares her story with heartbreaking clarity and detail — reclaiming herself as she offers other survivors the gift of understanding.
