Healing as a Survivor of Sexual Assault – May Alirad pt 2

Published on: 29th May, 2024

Healing as a Survivor of Sexual Assault

May Alirad pt 2

As an immigrant from Laos with her family, May Alirad was hoping to live the American dream… but, at age 7 she experienced her “first” sexual assault.  I say “first” intentionally. Because it continued by several people, on and off, until she was 32 years of age.

After 30 years of unintentionally living as a victim of multiple sexual assaults, May finally found freedom from guilt, shame, embarrassment, fear, and condemnation. This happened when she was in a prayer group and everyone was praying for her. Amen.

May went to work and actively put faith in her ability to heal and help others do the same. May is now sharing this proven, life-tested, (not time tested, but LIFE-TESTED), personally verifiable approach - with you.

She is the author of a great book titled, “Was I Assaulted – My Guide to Healing as a Survivor.”

This is part two and the conclusion of a very, very important interview on a very sensitive topic - please pay attention and share this interview with those whom you believe may benefit...

Let’s talk about your book, “Was I Assaulted – My Guide to Healing as a Survivor.”

One of your chapters is called “Boundaries.”  What kind of boundaries would have helped you in your younger years that wish you could have had in place?

I know there are the “7 Steps of Grief” when we lose a loved one.  Is there anything like that which victims of sexual assault go through?

Why did you decide to put all of this into your book, “Was I Assaulted – My Guide to Healing as a Survivor?”

There was a story I heard you tell that, I believe will truly help someone listening to us right now. Can you share with us about “Little May?”

You also have some information you share about HOW someone should respond “if and when” someone comes to them and shares they have been sexually assaulted. What to say and what “not to say” in that time and situation. Can share that with us?

May, this is so interesting and I know that this book, “Was I Assaulted – My Guide to Healing as a Survivor” is going to help a lot of women who suffer as you did.  My prayer is that it will reach even more than you ever realize. Amen.

How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Was I Assaulted – My Guide to Healing as a Survivor?” I take it is on Amazon, correct?

If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or possibly do an interview such as this… or possibly to sign up for your coaching session that may have experienced some of the things you have shared. How can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?

I’ll put links for all of this in the show notes below.

Folks, my prayer is you NEVER have to experience things which May Alirad did. But, the fact of the matter is, many, many, too many of you – have.

But you can experience this freedom that May Alirad has. She has a calling on her life to help you “GET THERE.” Amen!  This book, “Was I Assaulted – My Guide to Healing as a Survivor” is part of that process of helping those of you that have been sexually abused.

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
