Luma & Bloom

On this weeks episode, we sat down with former JTF2 member Devon Larratt, along with his incredible wife, Jodi Larratt, to talk all about their relationship and life throughout Devon's military career. 

They shared their experience in raising a young family while navigating hardship, the importance of communication throughout challenging times, and the lessons they learned along the way. 

From Devon's helicopter being shot down, to Jodi having experienced an assault, we unpacked a lot. Some of the material may be challenging to some listeners.

We want to thank Devon, Jodi, and all of our military members and their families for their service. We thank you for your sacrifice, your bravery, courage, and strength, for protecting our country, and for keeping us safe.

On this weeks episode, we continued our conversation with former world-renowned model, the amazing Liz Crawford!

This week we focused on all things body image, how the modelling industry and social media are playing into the way we see ourselves, and how she is revolutionizing the industry by removing sizing for her model agency. 

Liz also opened up to us about the incredible struggles she has faced both personally and professionally. From having a son born with a rare condition called Hirschsprung Disease and the advocacy work she has done since, to having dealt with intense stalking both personally and at her modelling agency, Liz's story is one of true resiliency, filled with so much hope. 

We hope you enjoy💙

On this weeks episode, we continued our conversation with Michal and Joe from Skull Games, and dove into just how they use the internet to hunt predators online.

Skull Games, Inc., founded by Jeff Tiegs, is a non-profit organization that provides analytical and operational support through Law Enforcement Agencies to interdict sex predators, all by using Open-Source information found online. Once identified, Skull Games supports Law Enforcement by providing actionable leads to arrest, prosecute, and imprison sex traffickers, and offer victims a path to freedom.

After retiring with almost 20 years of service from the Canadian Armed Forces as an Intelligence Operator, Michal came out of retirement to work with Skull Games as their Director of Intelligence. By providing her expertise in the intelligence cycle and support for planning operations involving ground and air assets, Michal has participated in numerous national level missions, both domestically and abroad.

After his time in the Marine Core, Joe transitioned to the police force, working in sex crime investigations, in the crime lab, as a member of the SWAT team, and then later fully into trafficking investigations. He was then brought into Skull Games as their Director of Law Enforcement Engagement, responsible for liaising with law enforcement agencies and coordinating direct support for local law enforcement operations.

Thank you to Michal, Joe, and the entire team at Skull Games for all that you do. 

We hope you enjoy the episode✨
