Today, we’re honored to host Jane Epstein, a powerful voice in the fight for awareness and healing around sibling sexual abuse and trauma. Jane’s journey is one of unimaginable resilience: after decades of silently coping with the lasting impacts of abuse by her older brother, she faced her pain head-on, breaking free from cycles of dissociation, self-destructive behavior, and despair. Through raw self-reflection, sobriety, and courage, she has reclaimed her life, her relationships, and her sense of self. Now, as the co-founder of IncestAWARE and 5WAVES.org, Jane advocates for survivors and works tirelessly to reshape how sibling sexual trauma is understood and addressed worldwide.

Her story—shared in her TEDx talk, memoir I Feel Real Guilty, and across platforms like People Magazine and FOX TV—reveals the transformative power of truth, healing, and connection. Today, Jane shares her journey, her advocacy work, and how she found peace and strength. We’re inspired and grateful to welcome Jane Epstein to Rule 42.
