This episode references to sexual assault and other mature themes. The chapters we fear the most often hold the keys to our liberation. For Brittani, confronting the sexual assault she endured at 13 was not just a reckoning—it was a battle for her own voice. Her journey was anything but straightforward, winding through years of suppressed memories, silent struggles, and an internal war she fought alone. For 14 years, Brittani carried the weight of her silence, hiding behind walls that had protected her for so long. But when she finally began therapy and shared her story with her loved ones, those walls started to crumble. Piece by piece, she dismantled the silence that had held her captive, discovering a resilience she hadn’t known was there. Now, Brittani isn’t just surviving her past, she’s facing it head-on, reclaiming her power, and rewriting her future.
