295: Chatting It's Not About the Sex: A Look Into Human Trafficking
Human trafficking affects all parts of the globe, from suburbs to rural communities to large cities and border towns, and its effects are devastating. The founder of the anti-human trafficking advocacy group John DiGirolamo estimated that the average age of migration is between 12 and 14 for girls and 11 and 13 for boys. And the life expectancy of human trafficking victims is less than 7 years.
But there are survivors, and DiGirolamo shares extraordinary, personal accounts based on actual events in his eye-opening new book, It’s Not About the Sex: True Stories of
Human Trafficking from a Law Enforcement Officer, a Survivor, a Brothel Madam, and an Advocate.

291: Chatting about Finding Inner Strength through Sailboats
Too often, we like to be self-reliant and can feel uncomfortable asking for help. But learning to trust others and let them into your life is essential for personal growth and well-being! Listen in as I chat about rowboats and sailboats and how one book made me look at them differently.
Learning to trust is challenging but a necessary thing if we want to get through this life as we live it. Relying on others doesn't mean that we are weak it just means that we need rely on others' strength for a while.
I have a sailboat on my desk to remind me of this. I am not alone, and neither are you.
