This episode welcomes Heather, John, and Brooke, who bravely share their family's tumultuous journey after Brooke's disclosure of her older brother's sexual abuse towards her. Their story sheds light on the under-recognized epidemic of sibling sexual abuse and the journey towards justice and healing. Heather reveals the omnipresent danger technology poses in our children's lives, especially with the ease of accessing potentially harmful content like pornography. John shares his paternal struggle, anchored by his commitment to both his children, while Brooke illuminates her personal evolution, from survivor dealing with blame and shame to advocate for awareness and prevention. Together, they explore the complex intersection of familial dynamics, mental health, technology, and societal norms that often converge in cases of sibling sexual abuse. * The episode opens with Heather expressing concern for the overexposure of today's youth to content beyond their mental processing capacity. * The family discusses the influence of pornography on their son's behavior and the importance of open dialogues and preventative measures in family settings. * A powerful perspective shift occurs as Brooke underscores the necessity of reclaiming one's power as a survivor, advocating for both victims and abusers in the quest for healing. Key Takeaways: * Children are being exposed to more content, such as pornography, than their brains are ready to handle, influencing behavior in harmful ways. * The challenge of advocating for both the survivor and the abuser exists within the same family, emphasizing the unique dynamics present in sibling sexual abuse cases. * Parents should consider contracts, monitoring, and conversations about internet safety as preventative measures against the dangers of unfettered technological access. * Brooke, as a survivor, aims to push for educational change within the school system, advocating for personal space rules and anti-grooming information. * There is a possibility for family healing and reunification post-disclosure, with the prerequisite of respecting the survivor's timing and comfort. Notable Quotes: * "Children are seeing more than their brains are ready to handle." - Heather * "You should always hand the shame back to the abuser because if you don't, you're thinking it's your fault." - Brooke * "We need open conversations...educate our children more so on dangers of family. A family makes you feel uncomfortable.

In today's episode, Nancy shares her views on the 2022 movie, The Wonder, starring Florence Pugh, Tom Burke, and Kila Lord Cassidy.
