Tracy traces her journey from supporting youth and survivors to creating Callisto’s encrypted platform, which discreetly connects people harmed by the same perpetrator so they can explore legal and healing options together, on their own terms.The conversation explores what meaningful prevention education truly looks like, including the importance of engaging boys and men, teaching honest sex and consent education, and addressing the deep underfunding that holds back progress. Tracy also shares practical guidance for parents, educators, and allies: how to talk about sex and boundaries earlier, how to respond when someone discloses harm, and the importance of remembering that everyone is entitled to safety.To learn more about Callisto, please visit: https://www.projectcallisto.org/Support the showAspire is produced by BenHudakProductions.com
