This week we're so honored to share Judy's story with you.

Judy is a young woman who was adopted by a Chassidish family as an infant and never felt that she fit into a world of long skirts and bowed heads. As so many before her she was married off at a young age, and only then realized that she couldn't pretend any longer. Listen and hear her story of overcoming a life that was never hers, and addiction that she used to cope. There are so many that won't get the chance to leave, who aren't sure if the risks are worth freedom from the chains that bind them. Judy stared down a dark road and took one step after another, and found the light.
