I like to believe that we can change this world, one interview at a time, one discussion at a time, and I think, yeah, let's make this world a better place it deserves to.
Imagine facing the world after surviving sexual violence. Tim Mousseau did just that, and now he's on a mission to make sure no one else has to endure the same pain. In this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff welcomes Tim, who shares his harrowing experience and how it propelled him into advocacy and education. At just 22, Tim faced sexual assault and later dealt with workplace harassment from his boss, leaving him feeling utterly powerless.
But instead of staying silent, he chose to speak out, turning his trauma into a force for good. For nearly a decade, Tim has been educating others about creating safe environments and preventing sexual violence. He's spoken to over 400 organizations, including Congressional offices, top universities, and Fortune 1000 companies. His message is clear: safety and respect are non-negotiable. Throughout the episode, Stephan and Tim dive into the societal norms that often blur the lines around sex and consent.
They discuss how power dynamics play a significant role in harassment and why it's crucial to challenge our own biases. Tim emphasizes the importance of empathy and open conversations about boundaries. He believes that everyone's personal limits are valid and should be respected without question. The episode also sheds light on the critical first reactions survivors receive—how they can either aid in healing or add to the trauma.
Tim's advocacy isn't just about preventing egregious behaviors but also about fostering a culture where everyone feels heard and valued. By sharing his journey from victim to advocate, Tim hopes to inspire others to take action and create safer spaces in their communities. This episode is a powerful reminder that change starts with each of us, one conversation at a time. Tune in to hear Tim's story and learn practical steps for making the world a safer place for everyone.
