When Boom’s boss sexually assaulted her at a company camping retreat, she was frozen with fear and disbelief until the next morning when she told a close coworker what had happened. As if in a trance, she moved through the next four days without speaking to anyone. When an HR representative from her company called to ask if she had been inappropriately involved with another leader, the floodgates burst open and her mix of fear, anger, and shame came flooding out. Boom shares her long road of navigating police procedure, her family’s concerns, and her eventual return to work. With strength and grace, Boom dove into her healing journey centered on helping and empowering others.
