Episode Summary: “When you are a bully, when you're, when you're rich or powerful or influenced and you think you can get away with it, that's really when I come alive”. Alreen Haeggquist has done something incredible with something incredibly awful.  As a child, she endured years of physical and sexual abuse at the hands of her father. When she finally got out, Alreen harnessed her anger, put herself through law school, and now advocates for women being harassed or abused in the workplace at her women's rights firm, Haeggquist and Eck. In this episode, Alreen takes us through her breakout from victim to influential advocate. She tells us about the powerful book she wrote about her journey, and how confronting her father made it easy to take on one of today's biggest bullies, Donald Trump. About Alreen Haeggquist Alreen Haeggquist is a lawyer, survivor of childhood sexual abuse, and fierce advocate for those brave enough to stand up to their abusers in court.
