30:39In this week's episode we are joined by Lauren-Eden Penn, a survivor of childhood sexual trauma at the hands of her HIV positive father. Lauren is a mother and business owner who has recently waived her right to anonymity to speak out about her story in the hopes to inspire and support other survivors. She also recently went viral on TikTok after sharing her story in light of the recent overturning of Roe Vs Wade in the US and changes to abortion laws. "For those that may not have seen the recent trend on TikTok, thousands of people are sharing their personal traumatic sexual experiences, followed by the words ‘Keep your laws off our bodies’, to illustrate how, in many cases abortions may well be necessary. My TikTok featured the words ‘Have you ever lost your virginity at the age of 14 to your HIV+ Father? What’d you say? Oh you haven’t? 'Keep your laws off our bodies’ I decided to participate in the trend after another girl's video came up on my For You page." While the issue began in America, Lauren strongly feels that the problem is not limited to those across the pond. "Although I don’t reside in the US, I felt it was important to speak up on the issue and use my voice to show support and stand in solidarity with every woman in the US who could be affected by the harmful effects of overturning Roe v Wade," she said. - Words via Dorset Live article here. As a society, by avoiding the subject of child sexual abuse we run the risk of normalising it and many survivors are then left feeling isolated in their experiences; Lauren's courage in coming forward and speaking out about her story aims to change this.

33:53In this week's episode of The Shushbox podcast we are joined by former school teacher, principal, and survivor of early childhood trauma, Lynn Barrett. In 1992 Lynn was diagnosed with MPD (multiple personality disorder) which later was diagnosed as DID (disassociation identity disorder.) In this episode, Lynn talks about her life with early childhood trauma and how she survived and pushed through despite being exposed to abuse at such a young age. Lynn talks about her experiences growing up with DID and how common it is in young children who have been abused in the past. She now helps those who are diagnosed with DID or MPD navigate life through the eyes of someone who has brought light from her own diagnosis. She runs weekly dissociative disorder writing writing workshops which can be found here and has also released her memoir entitled - 'Crazy - Reclaiming Life from the Shadow of Traumatic Memory' which can be found here. Lynn speaks extensively on perseverance and how people with DID can navigate relationships, work, friendships, etc through footwork and an open heart. She instills the importance of having a good therapist and support network whilst going on the healing journey. “Just the very fact that you survived this chronic abuse, means you have the strength, and wisdom, and resilience inside you that you don’t know you have yet. I hope that in hopes of sharing my story, that it gives some people the courage to share theirs too so we can de stigmatise this disorder" For the latest Shushbox content sign up to our newsletter via www.shushbox.com The Shushbox Podcast is Produced by Aamir Yaqub at Bison Studios, London, UK Hosted on Acast.

She has turned her past into her passion as she provides hope, healing, and freedom to those whose lives have been affected by toxic relationships, emotional abuse, and narcissistic behaviours. She has been featured in both Forbes and Time Magazines for the dedication given to her clients and her work in the toxic relationship area. She is also the host of the podcast 'It's not normal it's toxic'. " As an emotional abuse graduate, I know what it feels like to be alone, to be the only one who saw what was really going on, and to be the one who felt like something was wrong with me. Living and being in relationships that are not healthy for us can cause this type of abuse to be accepted as “normal”. TRUTH IS...ITS NOT NORMAL... ITS TOXIC! Having been in toxic relationships myself, I am now able to use my experience to guide those walking a similar path to my own."

41:43Vanessa Cuccia is an artist, author, entrepreneur and founder of Chakrubs , the Original Crystal Sex Toy Company. "Chakrubs are sex toys made from natural crystal that bring a sense of sacredness to your playtime. These beautiful, hand-crafted tools are created with the intention of opening oneself up to the healing properties crystals provide. Crystals have perfect molecular structures that have positive effects on our electro-magnetic fields. When our energetic bodies are at ease, we are at ease, we are open to healing, to peace, to love, to all of life's pleasures. ‘Chakrubs’ derives from Chakra, a Sanskrit word describing energy wheels. Chakrubs urge you to feel deeply, passionately, subtly. Light up your chakras, and create an intentional practice that that not only gets you off, but turns you on in way in which you will remain turned on and awakened with a renewed sense of self-awareness and wisdom." In this episode we talk about Vanessa's journey to the creation of Chakrubs and how it is deeply rooted and integrated with her own personal story of healing from an abusive relationship. The mission of Chakrubs is to create connection to others through connection with the self and is the general theme we follow throughout our conversation. We discuss and dissect the ideas of self pleasure and how sexual energy is something innately present within us all, which can be activated when we approach 'sex' as a true mind, body and spirit experience. Vanessa speaks also about her plans for the future, both with Chakrubs and in her own personal passion projects. Vanessa's music can also be found here .

This time of the year is a great time for death, rebirth and new beginnings. Spiritually, these celebrations symbolise the opportunity for renewal, a shedding of bad habits and negative feelings and an embracing of hope amid darkness as the days once again begin to grow longer. So slow down. Take a breath. Ground in your energy . And Love your shadows. In this special episode Shushbox Founder - Sunita - is joined by Visionary Alchemist and Relationships Coach - Yasmin Elzomor to talk more about the in's and out's of Shadow Work and what is means to integrate your shadow during the healing journey. What is Shadow Work? Shadow Work involves getting in touch with the parts of yourself that you've repressed (or what many refer to as their "dark side.") and involves diving into the unconscious material that shapes our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. "And we have seasons in life when we might feel more anxious, or more depressed or more irritated. It really is about going with the flow and telling yourself.... It's not about fixing anything, we are not inherently broken. We're not wrong for feeling this way. It's really about how can I use this to my advantage. How can I turn this pain or heaviness into power? Then when you see it that way it feels really empowering."

1:01:26What does it mean to be truly spiritual? Is it possible for there to be a deep sense of connection to something bigger than ourselves? Could this provide us with the meaning to life? Or is it all.... just a load of 'Woo Woo'? In this week's episode of The Shushbox podcast Jaqueline and Sunita are joined by Kelly Chin, Reiki Practitioner from Elements at Play, to delve into the topic of ‘Shifting the lense on Spirituality. We breakdown the constructs of religion and spirituality and discuss what it means for each of to us to be deeply connected to the divine power within. For more information about Kelly's Reiki services visit below: www.instagram.com/elementsatplay www.elementsatplay.co.uk What is Reiki? Reiki (ray-key) is Japanese for ‘universal life energy, and is also a word used to describe a system of natural healing, We live in a world of energy that nourishes and maintains all living things. When this energy flows uninterrupted there is balance and harmony within and around us, and we experience a sense of well being. The method of receiving Reiki is simple. The recipient remains clothed and lies on a couch or sits on a chair and relaxes. The practitioner gently places their hands in a series of non-intrusive positions on or near the body. There is no massage or manipulation. The whole person is treated rather than specific areas. Sessions can take 45 minutes to an hour-and-a-half, depending on the client’s needs. Reiki practitioners are not trained in diagnosis and will not predict any specific outcome from treatment. If people are concerned about their symptoms they should see a doctor. "With my Reiki and Intuitive Listening services, my goal is to help others reconnect with their true selves and provide them with spiritual counselling and guidance. I am by no means a "healer". I strongly believe we all have the knowledge and power to heal ourselves. It's imprinted in our souls but forgotten as we grow up and grow away from our connection to Spirit. It is part of our human experience on Earth to find our true soul purpose through self-healing but of course, help is there for guidance along the way." Hosted on Acast.

In this weeks episode of The Shushbox podcast we are joined by Gabriela Mejia, who is the Communications and Programs Manager at Hollaback to talk more about how to be an active bystander in scenarios like this. Hollaback’s mission is to end harassment in all its forms by transforming the culture that perpetuates hate and harassment. They carry this mission by building the power of everyday people to create safe and welcoming environments for all. We believe we all have a role to play in disrupting harassment and building a culture where it is no longer seen as “just the price you have to pay” for being a woman, LGBTQ+, a person of color, or any other marginalised identity. We teach people to take action, and to reach across their own identities to ally with others and establish a united front against harassment each time we witness it.

In this week's podcast we discuss should I use the term Victim or Survivor? Charity RAINN tends to use the term “victim” when referring to someone who has recently been affected by sexual violence; when discussing a particular crime; or when referring to aspects of the criminal justice system. They often use “survivor” to refer to someone who has gone through the recovery process, or when discussing the short- or long-term effects of sexual violence. Some people identify as a victim, while others prefer the term survivor. The best way to be respectful is to ask for their preference. Do you connect to either of the terms?

1:13:45In this week's podcast, we dive into the question of "What does sexual wellness mean to you?" as we are joined by Sex Educator, Founder of Froetic Sexology and resident Shushbox Expert - Portia Brown. Connecting to your sexuality is a journey which takes you far beyond the genitals. We provide you with tools on how to build an internal relationship with yourself. We notice that a big piece that we continue to keep circling back around is that the root to wellness... is being deeply connected to yourself. "My own sexual wellness is about finding wholeness within my sexuality and total acceptance of who I am and where I am on my journey" To connect with Portia head to @froeticsexology / www.froeticsexology.com Hosted on Acast.

In light of recent happenings, The Shushbox team have an unfiltered conversation about the new Texas Abortion Ban. "Progressive and Heartbroken. Those are the two words that are really coming up. Heartbroken from the fact that this is something that even needs to be discussed at this level, the amount of people that it is going to affect in the future, the amount of people that it is affecting right now who have had abortions and just having this flare up in the law, triggering them as well. And then then progression of OK what are we going to do about it." The US supreme court refused to block a Texas Abortion law, which basically prevents women from having an abortion after the 6 week mark. With absolutely no exceptions, even in cases of rape and incest. The court voted 5 to 4 against blocking the countries most radical law which will impact over 7 million women of child bearing years, living in one of the biggest state in the country. The decision goes against the famous 1973 Roe Vs Wade which was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that the Constitution of the United States protects a pregnant woman's liberty to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction. This usually could be any time up until a foetus can survive outside of the womb. Which is normally between 22-24 weeks of pregnancy. Here’s a list of organizations advocating and fighting for women’s rights in Texas for those who want to support: TEA Fund : The Texas Equal Access Fund offers funding for low-income people seeking abortions who cannot afford it, and also advocates for increased access to abortions as a fundamental healthcare right. Avow : Avow organizes Texas voters to campaign for an end to anti-abortion policies in the state, and runs a political action committee that works to elect leaders who support access. ACLU Texas : The ACLU of Texas has worked to defend civil liberties in the state since 1938. Fund Texas Choice : Fund Texas Choice funds travel to abortions for Texas residents, whether their appointments are in or out of state, including bus or plane tickets and hotels. Whole Woman’s Health Alliance : Whole Woman’s Health Alliance aims to end the stigma around abortion in society, and runs a network of clinics offering abortion resources. The Lilith Fund : The Lilith Fund is the oldest abortion fund in Texas, offering direct financial assistance for those seeking abortions. National Abortion Federation : A national pro-choice group that supports abortion providers across the country. Center for Reproductive Rights : A global legal advocacy group that has strengthened reproductive health laws in the United States, as well as Europe, Africa, and Latin America. Hosted on Acast.

37:24This week we are joined by Kenyora Parham, Executive Director of End Rape on Campus (EROC) to talk more about The Red Zone of Sexual Assault on college campuses. "As we are coming off the heels of Covid-19, some schools are coming back from virtual learning to in-person learning...so what we fear is that the freshman class and untraditional sophomore classes are essentially coming together who have not undergone that in person college experience, which is going to attribute to the uptick of unwanted sexual assault. So we have actually named that The Double Red Zone for this year". EROC (End Rape on Campus) works to end campus sexual violence through direct support for survivors and their communities; prevention through education; and policy reform at the campus, local, state, and federal levels.

49:04In this week's episode we'll be joined by Author of Your Consent/ TEDx speaker Joyce Short and Advocate Nina Lucas from The Consent Awareness Network to talk more about consent and why it is now crucial we define it into our laws. "It’s extremely common for sexual assault and rape jurors to ask 'What’s the definition?' and we have to have consistency in order to have equal protection under the law. That is why it is so vitally important to do this and get consent defined properly under the law". For more information head to www.consentawareness.net or email info@ConsentAwareness.net You can also find Joyce on Instagram @Yourconsent and Nina at @standfirmvoice Hosted on Acast.
