  • Unveiling the Dark Reality of Human Trafficking
    Nov 20 2024

    Thanks to our partners, CTV News Shopping Trends and Amazon CANADA. Check out my top picks for early Black Friday deals here: https://www.ctvnews.ca/shopping/deals/best-early-black-friday-lifestyle-deals.html

    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.

    Thanks to our partners, CTV News Shopping Trends and Amazon CANADA.

    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.

    Are you and your partner doing the right things to make each other happy? Are you checking the boxes for behaviors of the happiest couples? Or the opposite?
    Do you ever worry you’re in an emotionally abusive relationship? Are you involved with a narcissist? And how about that word - narcissist that is thrown around so freely now. Did you know there’s a difference between someone having narcissistic tendencies and someone having narcissistic personality disorder? But How do you know the difference and is there anything you can do to change them or survive the relationship?

    Registered psychotherapist Kristina Virro is the CEO and founder of the FRESH INSIGHT Mental Health and Wellness Clinic and is here today to break it all down for us. She shares what happy couples do for each other than unhappy ones don’t. She shares the signs that someone you love (or you) is in an unhealthy or dangerous relationship. And she breaks down all the information on being in a relationship with a narcissist - either with a partner or even a family member and what, if anything, we can do to cope.

    Oct 16 2024

    Anna Grace Newell is a clairvoyant medium, akashic records practitioner and intuitive guide who specializes in angel readings. Sound confusing? Well I ask her to explain it all in language we can understand.

    Her story of what she believes was an experience "on the other side" is one you have to hear to believe. She also explains how this experience brought forth a gift in her gift to share with others, both in person and on her podcast AG University. Anna Grace shares why she was reluctant to tell anyone and how growing up in the church shaped her mindset about psychics.

    This topic was really out of my expertise and comfort zone so I appreciated how open and patient she was with my questions.

    Anna Grace is like an actual ball of sunshine when she walks in the room so I would encourage you to watch this episode if you’re able - her energy is contagious.
