This week, I’m talking to Sarah Gidick. Sarah is a fashion and beauty writer (she’s written for Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, and The Hollywood Reporter, among others) and is the founder of The PFW.
Sarah and I discuss the decision to press charges after her sexual assault, the roadblocks and waiting game she faced during the process, forgiving yourself, and working to bring more women together around this issue.

Heartbreaking and yet so so uplifting!
