In this episode, Janeen speaks with author and survivor Sabrina Capper, whose bestselling debut Licking the Knife reveals her extraordinary true-crime survival story. Sabrina discusses breaking family cycles of trauma, the power of testimony, and what healing looks like after facing her abuser — a serial killer and cult leader who was also her grandfather. Listeners will gain insight into trauma awareness, resilience, and why believing your own story is the first step to healing.
In this powerful and deeply moving episode of the We Are Women Podcast, I speak with Sabrina Capper — a PR and Communications professional turned author and survivor whose story will both challenge and inspire you. After years of representing Fortune 500 companies and global leaders, Sabrina stepped away from the corporate world to pursue creative work in writing and art. But behind her polished career was a truth she had long kept hidden: the generational trauma, secrets, and abuse within her family.
In her bestselling debut novel, Licking the Knife, Sabrina courageously shares her extraordinary story of survival. In 2024, she came face-to-face with her abuser — her own grandfather, a ritualistic serial killer and cult leader. As he drew his final breath, Sabrina reclaimed her power by declaring that the world would know the truth about what she endured. Today, she speaks openly about breaking cycles of silence, the language of trauma, and the resilience it takes to heal.
Throughout our conversation, Sabrina sheds light on the struggles women face in being believed, the weight of carrying family secrets, and the importance of listening to and trusting your own story. We explore the process of raising children after surviving trauma, finding frameworks of support, and what accountability looks like in an age where testimony can be shared widely through social media.
This episode is both a heart-wrenching and hopeful reminder that any trauma is too much, yet healing is possible. Sabrina’s journey from silence to storytelling offers a beacon of courage for women everywhere who have experienced pain, felt dismissed, or struggled to find their voice.
Tune in to hear how Sabrina transformed trauma into truth, and how her message of resilience can inspire you to believe in your own story and break through the silence.
