#32: Rebellious PR Founder Evie Smith on public relations, coming out, & cash flow
Evie Smith Rebellious PR and I met via San Diego Comic Con and I quickly realized what a great fit she’d be as a guest! Evie has been doing PR since 2007 and started Rebellious PR in 2016. Evie had everything she should have been happy with, and she wasn’t happy. She left her job, her husband, and did a complete overhaul of the life that was no longer fitting her. We dig in to navigating life after she came out, starting Rebellious PR, level-setting with clients, business development, navigating hiring and working with friends, and so much more! Rebellious PR is a boutique public relations agency in PDX and LA amplifying stories of diverse companies. We have deep roots in the consumer tech and lifestyle spaces, and we love to work with defiant founders who make their own lanes to create revolutionary work.

#30: The "behind-the-scenes" of pressing charges against your rapist
Content warning: this episode is essentially 100% about rape and sexual assault survivors. We DO NOT discuss what actually happened, & instead focus on life after being assaulted, pressing charges against one's assailant, and healing from trauma. This is the view point of one person who has been assaulted and is not to be considered as representative of what all survivors feel. I (the host) do not claim to be an expert on trauma and I'm sure I don't use all the correct language all the time. Read the blog post mentioned in the episode from the guest here: http://bit.ly/39AzENV Terrible, Thanks for Asking "Unbroken" episode: http://bit.ly/2Fp9GiA Reading reco (not mentioned in the episode, but worth reading regarding trauma): "The Body Keeps the Score" read the summary here: http://bit.ly/35sLWEO Find & follow #BTSPodcast & join our FB Group to connect w/ other listeners & submit questions! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1720173561544455/ instagram.com/btsthepodcast twitter.com/btsthepodcast facebook.com/btsthepodcast https://www.linkedin.com/company/19055475/ To support this podcast, use my promo codes for some of my favorite services: HotelTonight - LCOOK61; SOOTHE (in-home massages) - LZLRZ; get your groceries delivered with Instacart & save with: LCOOK5142 --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/btspodcast/support
