  • I Was Trafficked by a Police Officer with Amanda Blackwood

    DISCLAIMER: This episode might be heavier, more triggering and more emotional than our previous episodes (topics include being drugged, drinking, molestation, trafficking, suicide). However, Amanda has narrated her story so well that is a great listen without visceral details. And also Amanda's life's approach to all the horrible events that happened to her is so inspiring and truly humbling. 

    Amanda Blackwood stands as a beacon of resilience, a survivor of human trafficking, accomplished author, public speaker, podcast host, and trauma recovery mentor. With over a dozen published books and three distinguished podcasts, she embarks on a mission to enlighten the masses on trauma and its repercussions. Residing in Denver, Colorado with her cherished rescue cats and an unwavering supportive husband, she donates a portion of her book sales towards combating human trafficking.
