Bella Borgers

Consent for Breakfast

I heard Bella's story first time at an event in Manchester. I was taken aback. Bella told her story about being the survivor of sexual assault, and I knew I needed to ask her to share with me on the podcast. Bella does so brilliantly and bravely. She's honest about her healing journey and the varying steps and challenges in putting her life back together after trauma. Bella started Consent for Breakfast (orginally known as To Whom It May Concern) as a means of amplifying the issues around consent, rape and sexual assault. We talk today about how this has created a whole new sense of purpose and direction in her life. Even though Bella would never have chosen this path, her healing journey has swung open a door to something way more meaningful career wise than she'd have planned for herself hadn't she gone through it. Bella is a living testament that the richness of purpose can contain a road to recovery that isn't planned or chosen but redemptive in its nature.

Consent for breakfast: it's become a vibrant space. I reflect on my mental health and where I've been able to befriend my trauma.
I never thought I could change the world. But helping just one person gave me so much purpose & fulfilment in what I was doing.
My best friend said to me: Just trust the process, that enabled me to understand the dips in my healing process.
Can you help this podcast reach more people?

If you've enjoyed any of these episodes or think a conversation on courage would help a friend, I'd appreciate a review. It takes less than 30 seconds and can really boost the chances of Call On Courage being discovered by others. Thanks so much πŸ™πŸ»
