In this episode, its just me – Dana Zarcone – and I get raw, real and emotional as I tell you some secrets. Things that I have never said publicly before but can no longer be left unsaid. And I hope that by sharing my story I can inspire some of you in some small way. I do get graphic in this episode and my story may be disturbing to some so take that into consideration before you tune in!
So today I’m going to start by saying a big, loud, resounding “ME TOO”! It’s unsettling and heartbreaking to see how many people are coming out of the woodwork claiming that Harvey Wienstein has sexually harassed them in one way or another. As of the recording on this episode there are over 60 women who have stepped up. This coming on the heels of other recent highly publicized cases such as accusations against Bill O’Reilly, Bill Cosby and Roger Ailes. There are other well-known celebrities that have been accused as well that include Michael Jackson, Woody Allen, Brad Pitt, Mike Tyson and even Brittany Spears. Yes, folks. Men can be victims just as easily as women can be the perpetrators.
Sexual harassment and sexual assault doesn’t discriminate by age, race, gender, education or income level! According to a new ABC News / Washington Post Poll found that 54%, over half, of American women have experienced “unwanted and inappropriate sexual advances” at some point in their lives. 84% have reported being verbally harassed. Over 70% have been sexually harassed at work and 23% of those cases were by someone who had the ability to influence their careers. Sexual harassment happens whether you’re on or off the job. And, unfortunately, this was the case for me as I’ve had several experiences with sexual harassment.
In this episode, I take the opportunity to talk about my experiences – not to play the victim – but to raise awareness. I also talk about the initial – in the moment impact – of being harassed and the longer term effects of being a victim of sexual harassment. I talk about how my experiences have impacted me my entire life.
How to Make a Big Shift in Your Life
Stand up for yourself! Maintain healthy boundaries at all times and never, ever believe that it was your fault! People who sexually harasses someone is not only sick but they are a criminal!
