Trigger Warning: This episode discusses trauma, abuse, and human trafficking.
When trauma is silenced, the body carries the weight. In this deeply moving episode, Kathy explores how survivors of abuse and trafficking can reclaim their voices, heal, and turn pain into a paid message. From emotional eating and shame to speaking truth on global stages, this conversation reveals why your story is intellectual property—and why you deserve to be heard and paid for it.
We cover trauma recovery, emotional eating, human trafficking awareness, and how speaking your truth can transform both your life and the lives of others.
