What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

Ahlaianne Garfinkel 0:00
So The Unspoken Word is about all the words I wanted to say, but I couldn't speak. All the times that I was cut out of court hearings, shut out of meetings, taken down, shut down, silenced. With my work in the past, working with victims of domestic violence, there's a great parallel. Silence the victim, keep them quiet, don't report, don't talk, don't tell. And that's a problem. That is the polar opposite of what is supposed to happen. We all have the right constitutionally, but as well as spiritually, to speak. to be heard, to be understood, to be respected.
Rudy Mawer 0:30

Ray Gutierrez 0:46
Welcome to another episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast, the Women in Power edition, with a smidge of the hashtag redlife in there. For Inside Success, I am Ray Gutierrez. Joining me today is Aliana Garfinkel. She is the author of The Unspoken Word. Aliana, welcome. How are you?
Ahlaianne Garfinkel 1:07
I will. Relax and chill.
Ray Gutierrez 1:10
You are home. You quite literally just finished filming your episode for Women in Power.
Ahlaianne Garfinkel 1:16
Yes.
Ray Gutierrez 1:16
I have to ask, do you feel extra powerful today?
Ahlaianne Garfinkel 1:18
I do. It was amazing.
Ray Gutierrez 1:20
What are we going to learn about you today?
Ahlaianne Garfinkel 1:22
Well, we're going to learn about the motivation behind why Woman in Power and The Unspoken Word joined forces. Yeah, I love it. Joined forces. Yes. And the foundation and the motivation behind The Unspoken Word and Bribery Lane.
Ray Gutierrez 1:39
Bribery lane. Um, I gotta, I gotta say, if you're looking at the slate, uh, today's nine 11, uh, 24 years, I believe. Um, we've got quite a dramatic story. Uh, I'd like to open up with you. Don't mind sharing of your nine 11, uh, survival story.
Ahlaianne Garfinkel 1:53
I am. So on 9-11, exactly this day, I was scheduled to be at New York University for a very important meeting for a Juris Doctorate PhD program. I was a student there already in Masters in Social Work, but I wanted to integrate law and forensic studies. And I had a baby in NICU, Neonatal Intensive Care. He had been in and out of the hospital. The evening before, he kept me up the entire night. So I was running a bit late. I actually missed the same train I always took every single time just because I was attending to the baby. And by the time I was getting on the next train, as a courtesy, I called NYU, and I had learned about the absolute unthinkable tragedy that had just occurred. I was scheduled for 9 a.m.
Ahlaianne Garfinkel 2:44
on 9-11.
Ray Gutierrez 2:45
Where were you supposed to be at 9 a.m.?

What resources does Ahlaianne provide for domestic violence victims?

Ray Gutierrez 2:47
Exactly.
Ahlaianne Garfinkel 2:47
I was supposed to go right past the international trade zone area and I was supposed to be attending a meeting at New York University.
Ray Gutierrez 2:56
Just a normal day and some divine energy saved you and protected you. It did.
Ahlaianne Garfinkel 3:01
It did.
Ray Gutierrez 3:02
How do you carry that with you every day now?
Ahlaianne Garfinkel 3:04
It's very traumatic to, first and foremost, be thankful. But I read, and I'm part of the 9-11 memorial. I'm linked into all of their birthday celebrations. They do a birthday celebration for every person that was in the towers on that day. And I read, I grieve, I have a lot of emotions, given the fact that that was my chosen path, and I was always there. So this is... Unbelievable that I missed that train that day.
Ray Gutierrez 3:37
I got to say, you were literally quite at the front line. I don't want to make this a September 11th podcast. We're definitely going to dive into your episode. I want to learn more about you, but I'm kind of curious your take being in the zone. Do you feel a shift of energy frequency the day before and the day after 9-11 that has consensually changed our path on what we do day to day? And it's just gotten darker and darker even with news of yesterday. Yeah.
Ahlaianne Garfinkel 4:05
Definitely the day of and the day after, there was a tremendous shift. The whole area, you could see smoke. You could hear clanking noises.

How does Ahlaianne define empowerment for victims?

Ahlaianne Garfinkel 4:14
Sure.
Ray Gutierrez 4:15
I guess I mean more frequency-wise, what was happening as a whole around the world when there was a giant moment of pain? It was just a frequency was released.
