About this listen

This week’s episode is the unbelievable survival story of Alison Botha, a woman who went through so many unfathomable things, but lived to tell her story. I feel so honored to get to discuss this amazing woman and her enduring strength. Trigger Warning: sexual assault, violence, attempted murder.
