Hi loves!

Welcome in to another episode! We are behing this month due to some Family weddings and unexpected passing away of loved ones.

Today we bring you a Trafficking Today: What Women Need to Know to Stay Safe

Before we begin today's episode, we want to share a brief content note. This episode includes discussion of sex trafficking, kidnapping, and threats to women's safety. While we do not go into graphic detail, these topics may be activating or emotionally heavy for some listeners.

We encourage you to listen in a way that feels safe for you. That may mean taking breaks, listening with someone you trust, or choosing to skip this episode entirely.

Your well-being comes first. If at any point you feel overwhelmed, it's okay to pause or step away.

This conversation is intended to inform, empower, and protect—not to create fear.

Such a hard conversation that is all around the world today. We discuss what this looks like, why strangers are a real risk and how they approach and high risk locations

Be aware of your surroundings, if your gut is screaming it isnt right...it isnt right. Speak loudly and protect yourself. We are taught, as women, to stay small, to smile and be "sweet" as Abbie says many times. This is not the time to be sweet, get away, listen to your gut and yell, scream and you do not owe anyone any explanation

High-risk locations include:

• Parking garages and parking lots
• Gas stations
• Airports and transit hubs
• Hotels and motels
• Public bathrooms
• Elevators and stairwells
• Crowded events
• Rideshare pickup areas

  Risk increases when:

  • It's dark or early morning
  • You're alone
  • You're distracted by your phone
  • You're wearing headphones
  • You're traveling
  • You're visibly stressed or emotional or you have been drinking.

Traffickers use date rape drugs that are odorless, colorless and tasteless. These cause memory loss, confusion and inabilityy to fight back, making it very easy for them to abduct you.

We go further and talk about common red flags, tactics and so much more. Please listen in if you can and share it, talk about it, discuss it. We love you, please be safe!

XOXOXOXO
