HARRI JAMES: From Survival Mode to Changing the Law

In this episode, we discuss child sexual abuse, mental health issues, and sexual assault. If any of the topics discussed is triggering for you, please seek help by visiting Lifeline's website at https://www.lifeline.org.au/ or by calling 13 11 14.

Since we last had Harrison James on the podcast, he's achieved sweeping legislative change with his #YourReferenceAintRelevant campaign. But it wasn't smooth sailing for Harri to go from living in survival mode to advocate and change-maker. In his new book Transform Your Pain Into Purpose, he gives you the guide he wish he had for handling trauma. He and Abbie discuss burnout, the double-edged sword of social media in advocacy, his 'second chance' at fatherhood, and why you don't need to do anything public with your trauma.
