Mary Trapnell, founder of Nashville Anti Human Trafficking Coalition (NAHT) and Christina Meadows, a survivor of sex trafficking are here today to share their message, their story and most importantly, how we can prevent this from happening to our own daughters.

Christina shares her story of years of working in the sex industry after falling prey when she was just a teenager. How did she cope all those years, why did she stay and how did she finally escape? Spoiler alert, it had a lot to do with Mary, the founder of NAHT.

I ask Mary to break down the steps these traffickers go through to lure young girls and boys out of their homes and onto the streets. Where are they contacting these kids, what do they say? How do they trick them into believing this is a good idea.

It is every parents worst nightmare and our hope with this episode is that it can help you know the signs to look for, who is most at risk and what to do if this happens to someone you know.

Lottie Woods was diagnosed with anorexia at age 12, something her mom Emily says that she kept hidden from the family for months.

Emily shares with us what it was like realizing how serious her daughter’s focus on her weight was, the signs she saw and the signs she missed. Lottie shares her raw and honest story of how her path to anorexia began, how she hid it, what was going through her mind at the time and I ask her if there was anything differently her Mom could have done.

This is a story of acceptance and recovery for both Lottie, her Mom and her little sister. Their honestly and willingness to share their story in the hopes of saving another young girl is truly admirable.
