HERE WE ARE AGAIN bringing some flavour to your FRIDAY! Today we continue on our with our second release of our mental health series. Guys, this is a tough one. TRIGGER WARNING: this episode discusses sexual assault and the experiences and the feelings surrounding this. We touch on many hard and difficult topics, so if this is too much for you, too raw for you PLEASE give this one a skip. BUT if your mental capacity or emotional ability can handle this one today then I applaud you for listening, hearing Vanessa's story and holding space for this important message and conversation. Vanessa has a powerful story about trauma and recovery from trauma and we know this episode will help so many people so thank you all for listening. 


We will leave it there but please reach out to us, a loved one, a friend or a professional if you need to talk about any of this further.
