TW and CW: child sexual abuse, family sexual abuse

Welcome back to Thru the Undertow. I’m your host Nicole Lowell. In this episode, I had

the privilege of sitting down with Kalpashree Gupta. She is the owner of Knekxt and she

dreams of making a kinder world for children and women who have been sexually

abused so that they can claim their power, live their joy, and engage with life.

Kalpa experienced childhood sexual abuse and has gone through her own healing

journey in the last decade. She shares her journey and what led her to be in the position

she is in today. Together, we discuss the complexities of trauma, reporting, and healing,

while Kalpa opens up about her inspiring mission to help other victims of abuse.

We delve into the long-term effects of grooming, manipulation, and the importance of

establishing healthy boundaries for our children. Kalpa shared some insights on how

children can be confused by the people who harm them, and the significance of parents

assuring their children that they can come to them in any situation. It’s so important that

we teach our children about consent and anatomy, and we dive into this topic on the

show.

With her company, Kalpa primarily focuses on trust. She works with clients to shift their

identities from shame, blame, and guilt to feeling integrated and whole. Don't miss this

inspiring episode that sheds light on the long-term effects of childhood sexual abuse

and the steps we can take to protect, support, and heal those affected.

Kalpa wants to create the safest world possible for our children, and this is a very

powerful episode. I hope it brings you some insight and encouragement that you are not

alone, you did the best you could, and your children will be okay.
