Key Discussions: Alcohol's Role in Assault and the Cannabis Legalization Agenda
In this episode, Monica and Kaylee, both survivors of alcohol-related sexual assault, share their personal experiences to challenge the societal glamorization of alcohol and its often destructive aftermath. Monica presents alarming statistics to advocate for a critical reevaluation of alcohol's portrayal, especially when contrasted with cannabis. "We owe it to our children to fight for a safer world," Monica asserts, calling for honest dialogue and better protective measures for future generations.
Kaylee, host of the podcast Lippy, opens up about her journey from a viral scandal to sober reality as a single mother and stand-up comedian. She courageously shares her disturbing experience of sexual assault at age 14, aiming to resonate with listeners and encourage them to break the silence surrounding alcohol abuse and assault.
The episode also explores current legislative measures and potential reforms, including the growing acceptance of cannabis as a safer alternative, highlighted by the impact of the 2018 Farm Bill in traditionally conservative states like Louisiana.
Monica discusses the significance of EMDR therapy in her healing process, hoping her openness will inspire others to seek help. Together, the hosts delve into the broader impact of alcohol on women's lives and the societal changes needed to safeguard vulnerable groups.
“Through our stories, we aim to ignite a conversation that often occurs only in whispers,” Kaylee explains. “Our mission with this podcast episode is to bring these critical issues to light and advocate for a healthier, more conscious society.”
