EP# 70 - Unlocking Freedom... Fighting Trafficking with Karen Gaston's Expertise

When the chains of anxiety finally broke, it was a newfound strength and purpose that emerged for Karen Gaston, our esteemed guest from Wings of Shelter International. Her journey from the decks of Navy ships to the safe rooms of rescued girls has been nothing short of transformative. In a candid heart-to-heart, Karen, now a beacon of hope as the Business Development Director, shares her personal struggles with anxiety and how it propelled her to extend a lifeline to young girls ensnared in human trafficking. Our conversation is a powerful tapestry of her resilience and unwavering dedication to these survivors' healing and empowerment.

Peering into the shadows, we confront the harrowing truths of human trafficking together with Karen. With a blend of sensitivity and urgency, we dissect the myths, educate on the tell-tale signs of exploitation, and discuss how Florida's transient beauty masks its grim rank as a high human trafficking state. In our Good Neighbor segment, the spirit of community shines bright as we celebrate the unsung heroes among us. It's a stark reminder of the role each of us plays — from recognizing a victim to supporting local heroes — in the shared fight against an issue that lurks too close to home.
