Show Notes

If you asked any group of women to put up their hands if they have suffered a #metoo experience, chances are that 100% of them will put up their hands. Last year saw women everywhere let go of the secret hidden shame and speak up, and it changed everything.

CJ Scarlet carried that hidden shame so for many years after two violent sexual assaults that it affected everything she did – and ultimately left her battling two life-threatening autoimmune diseases.

Author of The Badass Girl’s Guide: Uncommon Strategies to Outwit Predators, CJ shares her inspiring journey. Recently she was named one of the “Happy 100 People on the Planet” and she’s also been featured in the bestselling books Happy For No Reason and Be Invincible.
