Don’t Talk About It?? — Why We Must Speak Up About CSA, with Gloria Masters
In this powerful and emotionally charged episode of The Visible Kindness Podcast, host Ed Squire welcomes international survivor advocate Gloria Masters — a woman whose story has reached millions and is still breaking silence today.
Born into sex trafficking and raised in a cycle of abuse in New Zealand, Gloria not only survived 16 years of horror, she rose with purpose. Today, she’s a published author, speaker, and the founder of Handing the Shame Back, a global foundation for adult survivors of child sexual abuse (CSA).

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars?
