Rachel Socorro was 19 years old when someone she trusted handed her to a trafficker.

What followed was captivity, violence, and choices no woman should ever have to make.

What came after is the reason this episode exists.

 Today Rachel runs Total Life Wellness -- a national life recovery ministry that has helped over 500 survivors of trafficking,abuse, and addiction. She is the author of Living Proof.

And she has one message for anyone still in the dark: better is possible.

 In this conversation with host Sarada Duvvuri, Rachel talks about:

-- Growing up in Kent, Ohio and the childhood wound of abandonment

-- Being groomed and trafficked at 19 by a trusted family member

-- The moment a gun changed everything

-- Surviving captivity while pregnant

-- Escaping, rebuilding, and the spiral that followed freedom

-- How faith became the foundation -- even when she was furious at God

-- Opening her home and loving 500 strangers back to life

-- Her core belief: your experiences do not define you
