Show Notes

This episode contains discussions of sensitive topics, including sexual violence, child exploitation, psychological abuse, and relatable topics. We strongly advise listeners to exercise discretion.


Victims of exploitation aren’t always bound by physical restraints—they’re trapped by psychological abuse, fear, and manipulation, as perpetrators use our systemic failures to their advantage. In this special episode, we step away from our usual content to shed light on a devistating reality: the estimated 15 million children impacted by sexual exploitation in the U.S. In this episode we will look into Jessa Dillow Crisp’s story, who is now a co-founder of Bridge Hope, and a strong advocate for survivors and the many challenges many victims face.
