• Survivor of Animal R*pe 03.05.2026 2t 25min

  In today’s episode, a childhood sexual abuse survivor shares what it was like growing up in a home where sexual abuse, including abuse involving animals, was normalized, hidden, and never spoken about. She walks through the reality of grooming, manipulation, and fear, and how those dynamics made it nearly impossible to speak up, even when they knew something was wrong. She opens up about the impact on their relationships, their sense of safety, and the long journey of processing shame, seeking therapy, and eventually finding the courage to share their story publicly. This conversation also explores why so many survivors don’t report, what the legal process actually looks like, and how healing and advocacy can coexist.

  -We're All Insane Plus for Bonus Episodes, Ad-Free Listening, Access to New Show, Guided Mediations: https://wereallinsane.com Growing up in Brazil, things looked pretty normal on the outside—but there were always weird things happening. Letters showing up in her name, people coming to the house asking for her… and none of it made sense at the time. When she was 12, she found out why. Someone in her own family had stolen her identity and created companies in her name, leaving her with a massive amount of debt before she was even a teenager. We talk about what that actually looked like growing up—dealing with legal issues as a kid, having her assets frozen at 18, and spending years trying to fix something she didn’t do.
