Have you experienced or known someone who has been a victim of sexual abuse? 

If you have experienced any form of abuse, recovery can seem even harder than the experience of it. Facing the emotions and working through them is a necessary step to healing properly and giving yourself a future that is not defined by your abuse. 

My guest today is Catherine Ann Wilson, a survivor of sex trafficking. From the ages of 12-17, Catherine was suffering consistent horrific sexual abuse and was taken in by a local pimp. Throughout her healing journey, Catherine has become an educator around human trafficking, sex trafficking, and child sexual abuse prevention, and she is the executive director at Stop Trafficking US, a six-year-old nonprofit that continues to grow rapidly and change lives. 

Tune in to Episode 39 to learn about the horrific sexual abuse that Catherine experienced, how she has built a life for herself, and how she is changing lives with her nonprofit, Stop Trafficking US.
