This week, we’re discussing Nobody’s Girl, Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir about surviving childhood abuse, being trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and spending years fighting to be heard.

This episode is heavier than our usual chaos because there is no way to tell Virginia’s story without becoming furious, not only at the people who abused her, but at every adult, institution, and powerful person who failed her or helped keep the system running. We talk about the grooming that made exploitation look like opportunity, the shame of being forced into complicity, and the brave decision Virginia made to help bring her abusers to justice.

Content warning: This episode discusses childhood sexual abuse, sex trafficking, grooming, domestic violence, and suicide.
