Published on: 22/07/2025

Whether your abuse happened last year or decades ago—your voice matters. You have every right to heal, to be heard, and to explore justice. Start where you are. Gather your support. Know your rights. And most of all, remember this: you are not alone, and you were never meant to carry this by yourself. In this episode, attorney and survivor, Alreen Haeggquist, also shares her surprising and empowering take on the recent Sean “P. Diddy” Combs case—and what it means for survivors everywhere watching high-profile abusers face the courtroom.
