This week on the pod, we’re speaking with two remarkable women who have turned a shared experience into a national movement. Brenda Lin and Anna Coutts-Trotter are the co-founders of Survivor Hub – a grassroots, peer-led organisation creating safe, judgment-free spaces for survivors of sexual assault to connect, heal and be heard.
What started as a conversation between two friends has grown into thriving online forums, in-person meetups across the country, and a rapidly expanding community built on solidarity rather than silence. In this episode, Brenda and Anna share the story of how they met, how Survivor Hub came to life, and why lived experience is the heartbeat of everything they do.
We talk about what safety looks like in practice, the soaring need for survivor-led spaces, and how their work is reshaping culture and community from the ground up.
It’s an honest, powerful and deeply human conversation about courage, friendship and creating change when the system fails to.
