**TRIGGER WARNING: TALK OF SEXUAL ASSAULT**

In this episode we are joined with my long-time friend, Claudia Kite. This is a conversation that I've been waiting to have - as it pertains to something that is incredibly serious and happening in my home state. Claudia is a survivor of sexual assault, the fact that she is trusting me to share her story on my podcast means the world to me. She is such a strong woman and an amazing advocate for all survivors and I hope that conversations like this are a step in the right direction for ending rape culture.
