Do you ever wonder about the power of resilience and the importance of confronting past pain to heal? Have you ever considered the role of speaking up and its pivotal importance in holding people accountable for their actions? Join us for a riveting conversation with Sheyenne Straub, author of her debut memoir Honey Circle and Cigarettes, as we navigate through an emotional journey of trauma, shame, resilience, and healing.
We explore Sheyenne's painful experiences dealing with sexual abuse as a child, the resulting surface-level relationships, and her high school life as the talk of the town. We journey through her college years, the resurfacing of her childhood trauma, and a date rape situation. A recurring theme is Sheyenne's use of alcohol as a coping mechanism and her current perspective on the romanticization of partying. But the journey doesn't end there.

We discuss the empowering role of Cheyenne's memoir and her approach to coping with her date rape situation. Listen in to learn about the importance of being cautious at college parties and the crucial role of speaking up in accountability and healing. This episode, laced with the bitterness of pain and the sweetness of healing, promises to leave you with a deep understanding of trauma, resilience, and the power of speaking our truths.
