Reclaim Me: Consent with Madi Heather

Say G'Day to Episode 23 of Mads World: Reclaim Me. Trigger Warning: This episode discusses sexual assault.

This week I am delighted to be joined by Madeleine Heather, to chat about some of our funniest dating tales, alongside a discussion around the themes raised in Madi's incredible podcast, Reclaim Me.

Reclaim Me is a true crime podcast, hearing the stories of abuse and assault from those at the centre of them: The Survivors.

Madi is a sexual assault survivor and advocate for survivors of abuse. She believes that our voices can empower survivors to share, and educate the public on what these crimes look like. Together we can reduce the disability experienced by survivors, and decrease the occurrence of these crimes.
