Grief Recovery Now with Charlene Gorzela

Surviving & Recovering From Sex Trafficking with Catherine Ann Wilson


Listen Later

Trigger Warning: This episode covers topics like sexual abuse, sex trafficking, prostitution, and suicide.  


In this episode, I am joined by the incredibly inspiring Catherine Ann Wilson. Catherine is a survivor of nearly 20 years of early childhood abuse, molestation, bullying, rape, and sex trafficking from 12 to 17 years old. After 20 years of abuse followed by 20 more years ``surviving the surviving”, Catherine has gone through intense healing, self-help, and personal growth.  She has since found peace, forgiveness, and success including earning a six figure income as a national sales manager and buying her dream home on a little lake in Maine. Catherine is now the founder of Stop Trafficking US where she is on a mission to stop the sexual abuse and predetation of children. 


Tune in to hear a raw and deeply moving  conversation with Catherine about her experience surviving and recovering from years of abuse and sex trafficking.
