Hello Loves,

Thank you for downloading the podcast, my name is Arlina, and I’ll be your host. 

 My guest is Steff Rusher, founder of “Fallen” a clothing line created to bring awareness to rape, sexual slavery, and human trafficking.  She donates 20% of all profits from clothing to the “Underground Railroad organization.”  Their website tag line is “We exist to rescue children from sex trafficking and sex exploitation.

I’ll just give you a heads up that although this is ultimately a story of overcoming addiction, hope and inspiration, some of the content is tough to hear. But we do talk a lot about solutions and we also have a lot of fun because hey, that’s just how we are!

Steff demonstrates a tremendous amount of strength and courage to have come so far. I intentionally chose to leave this episode largely unedited because I believe there is strength in vulnerability. 

Also because what has happened to her still carries consequences and I felt it was important to bear witness to the after effects. I was so moved by her story and her mission, that I am including a link to the Underground Railroad  Organization on my website as well, to help those who are committed to rescuing victims of sexual slavery. There’s actually a powerful documentary on Amazon and I’ll leave a link to it in the show notes.

Steff’s continues to live by example, what is possible for all of us, which is to heal our past. So with that, I would like to share this conversation with Steff.
