Trauma Chats with MacKenzie Mae
Welcome to the Trauma Chats podcast with me, MacKenzie Mae! As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, I have found community and connection to be an integral part of my healing journey. I strive to be the person I longed for growing up: someone to relate to, feel less alone, empower, inspire hope, and educate. If you are a survivor, a loved one of a survivor, or someone who seeks to learn about sexual trauma, its impacts, and how to support survivors, this podcast is for you! Learn, heal, and grow alongside a fellow survivor on our collective journey to not only survive, but thrive after experiencing sexual trauma.
