Rachel Stephenson has worked around horses and coffee her entire life. She is the owner of Northern Light Coffee and Co-founder of CrossRoads Youth Ranch. In addition to barrel racing and training horses—and owning a successful business—Rachel is dedicated to creating awareness for the issue of human trafficking and offering aid to sexually exploited youth. 

 

Before Rachel was offering hope and healing to others, she was struggling to find healing for herself. In this episode, Rachel talks about how she suppressed her own trauma for years before her eyes were opened to the reality of human trafficking during an overseas mission trip—how she channeled that shocking awareness into supportive action.
