The following episode may contain graphic discussions of sexual assault, child sexual abuse, murder, or rape, which some listeners may find disturbing.

I'm Sherry Carney, and I'm a practicing attorney in California representing victims of child sexual abuse.

And at Sherry Carney and on our website, RoarIsOne.org. I've spent over 30 years surviving child sexual abuse, rape, incest, campus sexual assault.

Our trauma, our pain cuts through to our inner core and reveals the magic within.

And that once survivors find their voice, begin their healing journey, and come out the other side, there is no stopping us.

I want this to be a podcast that's real, unpolished, gritty, honest, and reflects both the pain and purpose that comes from being a survivor.

We will always ask, what happened to you? What have you experienced? What have you lived through? What have you survived? What is your story? And what must be done to bring you healing, closure, and yes, justice? The purpose of this podcast is raw emotion, our stories, inspiration, perspiration, and ultimately power through justice for survivors.

Each episode will include conversations with guests who inspire me, offer insight into the law, help survivors find justice, victim stories, and life-changing transformations.

I'll also have direct conversations with you about what I'm learning from survivors and experts that may help you break silence, speak out, find your purpose, seek and receive justice.

This is your safe home for open, honest, provocative conversations about the dark secrets 81% of us have experienced but don't talk about.

In this episode, I'm talking with Marissa Hochstetter, who was licked on her vagina by her OBGYN while pregnant with twins during an ordinary exam that was anything but ordinary.

What should have been an exciting and joyous experience being pregnant with twins was turned into a horrifying nightmare as Marissa was sexually assaulted by her OBGYN, Dr. Hayden.

Marissa quickly learned of other victims, now over 200 women, who were also sexually assaulted at the hands of Dr. Hayden, to include Evelyn Yang, wife of Andrew Yang, who ran for president, as many of you may remember, in 2020.

The nightmare continued while Marissa is now fighting for the Adult Survivors Act in New York.
