Welcome to Beyond the Pen, where "Reading Between the Lines" is a good thing. Each week Join us as we talk to the WARRIOR QUEEN herself, Cheryl L. Ilov, about her book The Reluctant Ninja: How a Middle-Aged Princess Became a Warrior Queen. This episode discusses the susceptible subject of sexual assault and the PTSD and depression that follows. We also talk about how she found her voice in Nimpo Taijutsu, changed from a victim to a warrior, and spoke out for those who can't/won't for themselves. Let her voice be an example of strength for you if you're going through this, have been through this, or even know someone dealing with this. Again, DISCLAIMER: The subject matter is a sensitive topic as we discuss sexual assault and the PTSD it causes so many. Thank you.
