In this powerful and deeply emotional episode of Having the Chats with Peter & Sophia, we sit down with Professor Marie Keenan.

World-renowned restorative justice practitioner, psychotherapist, and researcher.

Together, we explore the life-changing impact of restorative justice in cases of sexual violence.

Sophia shares her own transformative journey of sitting face-to-face with her father in a restorative process that became a turning point in her healing.

Peter opens up about how that experience changed his own understanding of justice and humanity.

Professor Keenan offers profound insight into how restorative justice challenges conventional legal systems, centers the voice of the survivor, and facilitates deep accountability and healing, even in the most complex and painful circumstances.

This episode is not only a conversation, it’s an invitation to rethink justice, healing, and what it means to take our power back.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of sexual violence, trauma, and personal stories of abuse. Please listen with care.
