Episode Details

What if healing mattered more than punishment?

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Marlee Liss — author, speaker, survivor advocate, and founder of Survivors 4 Justice Reform — to discuss trauma, healing, and her groundbreaking experience with restorative justice following sexual assault.

Restorative justice is an alternative approach that brings together those harmed and those responsible in a structured, trauma-informed process focused on accountability, healing, and repair rather than punishment alone.

Marlee shares her personal story, why the traditional justice system failed to meet her needs as a survivor, and how restorative justice became a pivotal part of her healing journey.

We explore shame, post-traumatic growth, self-trust, advocacy, nervous system healing, and the conversations we're still not having around sexual violence and survivor support.

Whether you're a survivor, supporting someone you love, or simply curious about new approaches to justice and healing, this conversation will leave you thinking differently about what recovery can look like.
