Nicole, this was so powerful - I got chills thinking about a room full of women shouting NO. I think I need to sign up for a self-defense class. You are such a beautiful writer ❤️😭
Wow, I smiled, I winced, I looked for my own hand to hold. Thanks for sharing this. I had my own version of Gage, and it was comforting to read your experience and the strength you've built.<3 love love you
Thank you for sharing such a personal and traumatic experience with us, Nicole. Your vulnerability and strength are admirable and your courage to face your fears after so many years a testament to your character. Sending you love ❤️
Nicole, Thank you for your courageous work. The risk that “Good Girl” puts us in! The power of “No!” - absolutely,
I love that you were able to support the young woman in your self defense class. One of your super powers is your staunch support of others. A key challenge of this super power is to include oneself in the supported group.
I love this. I had a very similar experience as a teen with a boy who had an abusive father and was probably repeating the patterns he'd seen all his life. Glad you got an apology and could move on to a place of peace and strength.
Holy mother, Nicole. I was emotional hearing you read bits of this on Monday, and what a piercing and powerful piece this unfolded into. The image of you all shouting NO in a circle is incredible.
You fucking rocked it
Thank you for writing this. Deeply touched by it. ♥️
