**Trigger warning: This episode momentarily addresses sexual assault & abuse.** On this episode of First Paso, Erica Scott (pronouns: she/they) discusses the importance of choosing to love yourself, especially after years of unhealthy physical touch. What have you chosen to do to facilitate your own healing process to loving itself? Listen as they share how learning healthy content and expressing their boundaries through cuddle parties has led them to co-author a book and educate others to do the same.
