In this powerful episode of Little Give, host Cindy Witteman sits down with Melissa Lombardo, founder of Right Heal Thrive and author of Hurt, Healing, and Hope: Thriving Beyond Sexual Assault. Melissa shares her journey of turning trauma into purpose, using writing as a tool for healing and empowerment. From her early experiences with journaling to the creation of her book and performance piece, Melissa reveals how storytelling and advocacy became the foundation of her mission to help others find their voices and move forward.

Melissa also highlights the importance of community, holistic healing practices, and advocacy through her volunteer work with Jane Doe No More, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting survivors of sexual violence and raising awareness through education and outreach.

This conversation is a reminder that healing is never linear and that small acts of kindness, community support, and speaking out can create ripple effects of hope and resilience.
