  • S2 Ep45: Chapter 42 | She Rises with Kayla Hayes
    Oct 23 2024
    As part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Kim and Kara finally get to talk with Kayla Hayes.
    At just 25, Kayla Hayes is a passionate advocate, speaker, and author who embodies resilience. Having faced the challenges of childhood sexual abuse and teenage domestic violence, she made a powerful choice to transform her pain into purpose, embracing her scars as wings of strength.
    Kayla’s story has resonated widely, earning features on Inside Edition, in Cosmopolitan Magazine, and on various national platforms dedicated to empowering survivors. Through podcasts, interviews, and impactful speaking engagements, she raises awareness about domestic violence and empowers others to reclaim their identities.
    A pivotal moment in Kayla’s journey was the realization that her experiences did not define her; rather, they could be a source of strength. This insight drives her mission to inspire young people to heal from their pasts and see their scars as symbols of hope and resilience. She believes that by sharing our stories, we can create a supportive community that uplifts one another.
    Kayla's Call to Action:
    "Our scars, both physical and invisible, can become our wings, lifting us towards healing and empowerment. I just want to urge you to embrace your journey and wear your scars proudly, knowing they are symbols of resilience. If you or someone you know is struggling with the effects of abuse, I urge you to seek support and share your story because I believe that truly together we can create a community of healing and strength and to show the world that our past does not define us. Instead, we can propel us into a brighter, more powerful future."

  • S2 Ep43: Chapter 40 | On The Wrong Side with Nicole Bedera
    Oct 9 2024
    But wait, it gets worse!
    Kim and Kara have an infuriating conversation learning some unbelievable things from Dr. Nicole Bedera as she shares 8 years worth of her original, pioneering research. This explosive investigation reveals the profound failures of the Title IX system and identifies concrete, simple steps we can take to protect students. Get ready, listeners--you're going to want to ride at dawn by the end of this chapter.
    Nicole Bedera, Ph.D. is a sociologist and author of the forthcoming book On the Wrong Side: How Universities Protect Perpetrators and Betray Survivors of Sexual Violence. Her research broadly focuses on how our social structures contribute to survivors’ trauma and make sexual violence more likely to occur in the future. Her scholarship has influenced sexual violence prevention programming across the country, including for Planned Parenthood, and her work has been featured in many popular outlets, including The New York Times, NPR, Time Magazine, and Teen Vogue. Nicole puts her work into practice as an affiliated educator at the Center for Institutional Courage and as a co-founder of Beyond Compliance Consulting.

    Nicole's Call To Action:
    Purchase the book, preferably from an indie bookstore, and if you have any questions you want to send Nicole directly, she would love to hear them. If you read the book and you have thoughts about it, she'd love to hear those too.
