The Women's Podcast · Katriona O'Sullivan / Oklahoma! · 25 Jun 2026 podcast

Like women would say to me, oh, my God, it's amazing.

Like you had three kids and you got a PhD.

And like it's not amazing to actually drive yourself into the ground for your career.

Like that's not a good thing.

So like my book is about that hunger for achievement as well.

And then also hunger for connection.

And so I use I'm using my story to talk about how women and myself has been driven in these three ways to shrink, to beat, to find love and to find achievement and how I've in some ways learned to feed myself.

Yeah, so I was 12.

So yeah, the book is themed around the influences on my relationship with my body.

So just to say about sexual abuse, because I need to say this for me and anyone listening,

Like one in 4.5 adults worldwide experiences sexual abuse, and children who are poor are nine times more likely to experience it because of the vulnerability.

So it's not rare, and I believe that shame dies in the light, but it is very hard to talk about them things in just an open way.

They're a wound that will always live in me, but the message of the book is it's possible to heal that.

that that hurt that comes from them experience does not have to direct how you feel about your body or how you are in relationships or how you are sexually for the rest of your life.

And my story is about how I am empowered now and I've healed.

I still have the consequences, but I know how I'm loved and I know how to express myself physically and I know how to feel safe in my body.

It's really important that I say that.

But the book is themed around the things that influence my body.

And so I experienced sexual abuse, which literally fractured me.

Before that, I loved my body.
