When survivors of sex trafficking bravely step forward to share their truth, how do we respond? Do we stand with them, or do we doubt and dismiss their experiences?

Today, we dive deep into the complex, often hidden reality of modern slavery happening all around us—in our neighborhoods, in the shadows of industries we engage with daily, and especially within the world of sex trafficking. More than 40 million people worldwide are trapped in human trafficking, with one in four being children. Sex trafficking, a devastating form of this crime, involves the exploitation of vulnerable individuals through force, fraud, or coercion for commercial sex acts—and minors involved cannot legally consent at all.

Lisa Phillips welcomes Davina Durgana, PhD, an award-winning human rights statistician and expert who has shaped global understanding of modern slavery. Davina brings a crucial data-driven perspective on how sex trafficking thrives where social safety nets and oversight fail, and how traffickers act as entrepreneurial predators exploiting sexual and labor vulnerabilities alike.

Together, Lisa and Davina unpack the myths versus realities of human trafficking— exploring the types of coercion survivors face, the trafficking ring ecosystems, the powerful economics behind exploitation, and why survivors’ voices are vital in driving awareness and systemic change. They also highlight the retraumatization survivors endure due to stigma, legal challenges, and lack of adequate support, often keeping them trapped in cycles of abuse.

This episode calls on listeners to educate themselves on trafficking signs, understand how demand fuels exploitation—particularly in commercial sex—and hold institutions accountable, from corporations to governments, so trafficking becomes prohibitively difficult and unprofitable. Because the fight against modern slavery—and sex trafficking—starts with believing survivors, standing up for justice, and transforming communities to protect the most vulnerable.

“From now on, what I would like is that we have a standard that changes American society's view of the human worth, that if we see individual lives as valuable as our own, then it doesn't stand that we can also exploit them for labor or exploit them for sex.”

Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of grooming, coercive control, and sex trafficking. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.

In this episode, Lisa Phillips invites Bianca Allaine Kyne, who exposes the chilling details of what went on behind the closed doors of Manson’s tour bus. In 1995, Bianca was just 16 when she, along with younger girls—some as young as 13—was invited onto Manson’s bus after a concert. What began as a dream come true for devoted teenage fans quickly turned into a nightmare of manipulation, violation, and threats. Bianca bravely recounts how Manson and bandmate Jeordie White (Twiggy Ramirez) deliberately singled out vulnerable girls, asked personal questions, and used fan clubs to extract addresses and contact details. The grooming was methodical and predatory, leaving Bianca and other young girls isolated, ashamed, abused and silenced.

But Manson’s pattern of abuse didn't stop there: his violent, degrading behavior has been corroborated by fellow survivors, including high-profile voices like Evan Rachel Wood, and by testimony about band members and crew being subjected to assault and humiliation. Despite mounting accusations and lawsuits, the music industry has historically looked the other way, settling behind closed doors and allowing predators to remain in the spotlight.

In this conversation, Bianca shares why she kept her story hidden for so long, the shame and self-blame she carried as a teenage fan betrayed by her idol, and how solidarity among survivors—finally speaking out—has become a catalyst for demanding true accountability. Lisa and Bianca call attention to the patterns of grooming and calculated selection of vulnerable girls; the complicity of institutions that enable abuse; and why, even now, many survivors feel blamed, judged, or disbelieved when they dare to share the truth.

This episode is a call to listen—truly listen—to survivors, to challenge the culture of silence, and to ensure no other young fan becomes prey behind the glamour of rock stardom.“From now on, I hope that we can all continue this conversation and this topic. We just have to keep fighting the good fight.”

Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of grooming of a minor, sexual assault, and coercive control. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.

Today, we’re confronting the widespread crisis that affects one in six boys before they turn eighteen—a staggering number that is too often hidden by shame, stigma, and disbelief. Most assaults are committed not by strangers, but by people the child knows and trusts, making it even harder for boys to speak out. Society’s expectations of masculinity tell boys to be strong and silent, leaving them isolated and unheard, and allowing the cycle of violence and trauma to continue.

Lisa welcomes Nathan Spiteri—author, advocate, and survivor—who was just eight years old when his world was shattered by a stranger. Nathan takes us step-by-step through the grooming tactics that trap children in fear, the violence that follows, and the toxic shame that warps self-worth and behavior for years to come. He shares how the cycle of abuse and violence led to addiction, self-destruction, and profound confusion about love and belonging.

This episode is not just about pain, but about the power of speaking out. Nathan and Lisa explore how vulnerability is an act of bravery, how naming abuse is the first step toward healing, and why it’s time to end the stigma that keeps male survivors in the shadows. Nathan’s journey shows that breaking the cycle of violence and healing from childhood trauma is possible—with honest conversation, support, and the courage to reclaim your story.

This episode calls on listeners to listen, believe, and stand with all survivors—because progress begins with breaking the silence and ending the cycle of violence for good.

“From now on, this is me. From now on, I am who I am, I can't change it.”

Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of child sexual assault, grooming, violence, substance abuse, and suicidal ideation. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.

Today, we’re confronting the myths and silences that leave young people vulnerable. Too often, survivors of childhood sexual abuse grow up without the language or support to process their trauma. Many never learn what consent truly means, or how to recognize and assert their own boundaries. Instead, shame and secrecy are passed down through generations, leaving children and teens to navigate relationships and intimacy without guidance.

Lisa welcomes Logan Cooper, a licensed mental health counselor, trauma professional, and survivor, who draws on both her personal and professional experience to empower families. Logan and Lisa discuss the long-term impact of unprocessed childhood trauma, the dangerous myths about sex and consent that persist in families, schools, and media, and how parents and caregivers can start age-appropriate conversations about body autonomy—even with very young children.

This episode offers practical strategies for teaching consent, recognizing the difference between safe surprises and unsafe secrets, and helping kids and teens build self-worth and confidence. Lisa and Logan explore how education, open dialogue, and modeling healthy boundaries can break cycles of shame and silence, giving the next generation the tools they need to stay safe and thrive.

This conversation is for every parent, educator, and survivor who wants to create a world where children are empowered, informed, and protected.

“From now on, I will listen to my body over what anybody else tells me about my body. I trust my body first.”

Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of sexual assault and coercive control. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.

Today, we confront military sexual trauma and the devastating aftermath for those who speak out. Army veteran, author, and PTSD advocate Simone Swartz joins Lisa to share her journey from honor and ambition to betrayal. Simone reveals how the military’s culture of misogyny and silence left her without a safe place to turn after being assaulted by a fellow soldier. Instead of receiving care, she was blamed, ostracized, and ultimately discharged—her service and future erased in a single stamp.

Simone and Lisa discuss the long-term impact of military sexual trauma: PTSD, addiction, and the struggle for basic dignity and healthcare. But Simone’s story is also one of hope and transformation. She is dedicated to helping others understand that PTSD is treatable. Through therapy, community, and the unconditional support of her service dog, Simone learned to manage her symptoms and rebuild her life. She shares practical insights on recognizing PTSD, seeking help, and the importance of persistence in recovery. 

For Simone, her service dog became a lifeline—helping her manage panic, rebuild trust, and reclaim her life one step at a time. Her message to listeners is clear: no matter the trauma, healing is possible, and no one is beyond hope. PTSD can be managed, and survivors deserve support, respect, and the chance to thrive. She has written, soon to be published PTSD and What Helped Me, in hopes of bringing a consolidated resource for those dealing with PTSD.

This episode is a call to believe survivors, to demand accountability from the systems that fail them, and to recognize that recovery is possible—even after the deepest betrayals. Simone’s courage and advocacy remind us that with the right support, every survivor can find a path forward.

“From now on, PTSD is treatable and the sky's the limit.”

In this episode, Lisa welcomes Jessica Ella, Australia’s leading women’s trauma therapist and survivor, to share her powerful story and expertise. Jessica’s childhood was marked by confusion, fear, and secrets—her father, admired by outsiders as “Super Dad,” was in reality her abuser. Like so many children, Jessica trusted her parent completely, making the betrayal and manipulation even more devastating. She describes how abuse cloaked in love creates unbearable confusion, self-blame, and a twisted sense of normalcy that can last for decades.

Together, Lisa and Jessica break down the subtle and not-so-subtle signs of childhood abuse: secrecy, fear, sudden changes in behavior, withdrawal, and the burden of “unhappy secrets” that children are too scared to share. They discuss the importance of teaching children the difference between safe surprises and unsafe secrets, and why early, age-appropriate conversations are crucial for prevention. Jessica shares her experience writing the children’s book Secret or Surprise—a practical tool designed to help families and educators start these vital conversations with kids as young as four, before grooming and abuse can take root.

This episode is a call to action for parents, teachers, and caregivers: learn the signs, trust your instincts, and create safe spaces where children know they can speak up. Lisa and Jessica remind listeners that education, open dialogue, and breaking generational cycles of silence are the keys to protecting children and supporting survivors on their path to healing.

“From now on…I will always be the example.”

In this episode, Lisa welcomes Davina Durgana, PhD, an award-winning human rights expert and survivor, who bravely shares her story of a secret relationship marked by manipulation, isolation, and escalating abuse. While her abuser maintained a blameless public image, behind closed doors, he was physically and emotionally abusive—using secrecy, coercion, and violence to control every aspect of her life.

Davina’s story reveals how abusers weaponize secrecy, insisting on hidden relationships under the guise of “protection,” while privately inflicting harm and publicly denying any connection. When Davina finally broke her silence, her abuser not only denied their relationship and their child, but also launched a smear campaign—using legal threats, false accusations, and manipulative tactics to discredit her and protect his reputation.

Lisa and Davina discuss the unique trauma of being erased and gaslit, the emotional toll of fighting for acknowledgment in a world that only sees the abuser’s public mask, and the exhausting legal battles survivors face just to be heard. From seeking restraining orders to defending herself against defamation to seeking child support, Davina’s journey exposes the deep flaws in a system that too often fails to recognize covert abuse and protect those most at risk.

This episode is a call for empathy, validation, and accountability. Survivors deserve to be seen, heard, and believed—even when their abuser pretends they never existed and tries to destroy their credibility. Lisa and Davina challenge the culture of silence, urging listeners to stand with survivors and demand justice, both inside and outside the courtroom.

“From now on…I will not tolerate behavior that I wouldn’t want my daughter to tolerate.”

But the trauma didn’t end with the crime. Despite a positive rape kit and clear evidence, Iesha was met with disbelief, intimidation, and victim-blaming by the university and campus police. Instead of support, she and her family were pressured to stay silent—warned that pursuing justice would only bring shame and ruin to her reputation, while her attackers walked free. The university’s priority was clear: protect its image and its athletes, no matter the cost to the survivor.

Iesha’s story is not just about surviving a horrific assault, but about the lifelong consequences of institutional betrayal. She shares the enduring impact of the cover-up: PTSD, anxiety, depression, and the struggle to reclaim her sense of worth and safety in a world that failed to stand by her. Lisa and Iesha confront the staggering reality that one in five college women will be sexually assaulted, and most will never see justice—not because they didn’t come forward, but because those in power chose to look away.

This episode is a call to break the silence, demand accountability from universities, and support survivors with empathy—not shame. Lisa and Aisha remind listeners that the true cost of a cover-up is measured in lives forever altered by trauma, and that speaking out is the first step toward change.

“From now on… I’ll never abandon me.”

Speak Out, Act, Reclaim (SOAR) is dedicated to providing a safe and empowering space for survivors of sex trafficking to reclaim their stories and stand up for themselves and each other.

Nikki’s journey reveals how power dynamics in sports can be exploited, turning mentorship into manipulation and training into emotional captivity. She bravely details how her coach groomed her, isolated her from support, and used his authority to control every aspect of her life, both in and out of the gym, under the guise of a relationship. This is not just a story about abuse in the boxing world—it’s a testament to the unique challenges female athletes face when the very system meant to empower them becomes a weapon for control.

But Nikki’s fight didn’t end when she broke free from her coach’s grip. She faced a new battle in the legal system, navigating the daunting process of seeking a restraining order for her safety. Nikki shares the emotional toll of having to prove her abuse, the barriers survivors encounter in court, and the courage it takes to demand protection when institutions are slow to act.

Nikki’s story is about breaking that silence, challenging the systems that enable abuse, and showing other female athletes that they are not alone.

This episode is a call to action: to recognize, believe, and support survivors in sports, to hold abusers and institutions accountable, and to empower women everywhere to reclaim their stories—inside and outside the ring.

Lisa welcomes Tiffany Smith, motivational speaker, author, wellness coach, DPS Officer with Nevada State Police: Division of Parole & Probation and survivor of childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, and narcissistic abuse. At just 13 years old, Tiffany found the courage to stand up to her abuser—her own father—and declare that the cycle would end with her. She became the protector for her younger sisters, carrying a burden no child should bear, and navigated a home where silence and survival were the only options.

Together, Lisa and Tiffany explore the lifelong impact of trauma, the complexity of family loyalty, and the courage it takes to finally speak the truth after decades of silence. Tiffany shares how she broke free from the legacy of abuse, faced the pain of disclosure as an adult, and began the journey of healing—not just for herself, but for future generations. Her story is one of fierce resilience, transformation, and the power of becoming the hero she needed as a child.

This episode is a call to break the silence, end the stigma, and support survivors with empathy and understanding. Lisa and Tiffany remind us that healing is not linear, but every act of truth-telling is a step toward reclaiming power, rewriting the narrative, and breaking generational cycles for good.

Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of coercion, child sexual assault by a parent, intimate partner violence, and addiction recovery. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.

Today, we’re exploring the moment of breakthrough: the courageous decision to leave a 26-year abusive marriage and step into the unknown. Too often, society tells us it’s too late to start over, but real freedom can begin when you have the courage to do so. Freedom knows no age.

Lisa welcomes Stephanie Strickland, author, motivational speaker, and survivor of intimate partner violence, who shares her powerful journey of finding the courage to leave, heal, and rebuild her life after more than two decades of abusive marriage. Together, Lisa and Stephanie discuss the invisible weight of shame, the masks we wear to survive, and the transformative power of finally telling your truth—not just to others, but to yourself.

This episode is about reclaiming your story, breaking free from the past, and proving that peace and wholeness are possible, no matter when you begin. Lisa and Stephanie call on listeners to support those making brave choices, reminding us all: it’s never too late for your breakthrough.

“From Now On…I will always advocate for myself. From now on, I will always use my voice. I will never downplay myself again. From now on, I will advocate for other women, and from now on, I will practice self-love.”

Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of emotional, verbal, psychological and sexual abuse. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.

Lisa welcomes Lewis Huckstep, a purpose and transformation coach who has turned his own history of childhood trauma into a mission to help others reclaim their worth and step into the lives they were meant to live. Lewis shares how his deepest wounds became the seeds of his purpose, and how embracing vulnerability, setting boundaries, and healing old patterns allowed him to create a life of inspiration and service to others.

Together, Lisa and Lewis break down the myth that trauma defines you and discuss practical steps for transforming emotional triggers, breaking free from toxic cycles, and discovering your authentic self. They explore why purpose often emerges from our greatest pain, and how giving back can be the ultimate act of healing.

This episode is a call to action for anyone ready to move beyond survival and step into a life of meaning. Lisa and Lewis invite you to see your story not as a source of shame, but as the foundation for your greatest gift to the world. Healing isn’t about forgetting the past. It’s about using it to fuel your future.

If you’ve ever wondered how to turn adversity into inspiration or how to find purpose on the other side of pain, this conversation is for you.

Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of healing after trauma. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.

Lisa welcomes Elicia Ybarra, a lifelong martial artist and dedicated women’s self-defense instructor, who transformed her own experience of abuse within the industry into a mission to uplift others. Elicia shares how martial arts became her escape from a chaotic, abusive childhood, only to later confront betrayal and harm by those in positions of power. Together, Lisa and Elicia expose how the martial arts community’s strict hierarchies and culture of silence protect abusers and isolate survivors, leaving many trapped in cycles of shame and disbelief.

This episode is about more than exposing a broken system; it’s about reclaiming martial arts as a tool for true empowerment. Elicia’s story is one of resilience, teaching that real self-defense starts with permission: to trust your instincts, set boundaries, and speak out. Lisa and Elicia call for a new vision of martial arts, one that builds women up, not breaks them down, and urge listeners to support survivors with empathy and action, not judgment or blame.

If you’ve ever wondered how to turn survival into strength or how to make martial arts a place of real empowerment, this conversation is for you.

Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of grooming, coercion, sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and predatory behavior. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.

In this gripping episode, Lisa Phillips welcomes Jane Doe, a devoted mother and accomplished professional, who bravely shares her harrowing journey through the labyrinth of coercive control. Jane reveals how her abuser, a celebrated producer with accolades and industry connections, used his expertise in storytelling, image management, and influence to isolate her, erode her self-worth, and ultimately weaponize the legal system against her.

Jane’s story exposes the chilling reality of psychological abuse that leaves no visible scars but inflicts deep wounds. She recounts how her partner’s charm quickly turned to control: love-bombing, social isolation, financial dependence, and relentless gaslighting. But the abuse didn’t end at home. When Jane tried to break free, her ex leveraged his resources and reputation to manipulate the courts, painting her as unstable and unfit, and orchestrating a campaign that ultimately separated her from her children.

Lisa and Jane discuss the urgent need for legal reforms to recognize coercive control as a form of domestic violence, and the devastating impact when abusers exploit their power and the justice system to continue their reign of control. Jane’s resilience and determination to end the cycle of trauma for her family are a testament to the strength of survivors everywhere.

This episode is a call to action: to support survivors, challenge the systems that enable abusers, and demand accountability, no matter how powerful the perpetrator.

“From now on…we are the light, the beacon of warmth, of clarity, to help anyone to navigate this battlefield.” 

Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of psychological, financial, sexual, and emotional abuse, as well as family separation. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.

Driven by a desire to empower others, Jane is deeply committed to raising awareness about the insidious nature of coercive control abuse, advocating for accountability, justice and supporting survivors on their healing journey.

In this candid episode, Lisa welcomes a certified sex and dating coach, Myisha Battle, who specializes in helping survivors reclaim their sexuality and confidence. Together, they dive deep into the complexities of dating after trauma—exploring how kinks, triggers, and red flags can show up in new relationships.

The conversation unpacks the unique challenges survivors face: learning to communicate boundaries, recognizing and managing triggers, and distinguishing between healthy exploration and harmful dynamics. Myisha shares practical tools for building trust, handling difficult conversations about consent and pleasure, and spotting red flags before they become patterns.

Lisa and Myisha emphasize that survivors deserve safe, fulfilling relationships and that healing is possible. They discuss the importance of self-compassion, community support, and seeking guidance from trauma-informed professionals.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating dating after abuse or supporting a loved one through their healing journey. It’s about empowering survivors to reclaim their sexuality on their own terms—and reminding everyone that pleasure and safety can coexist.

In today's raw and emotional episode, Lisa sits down with Taylor Windmon, a survivor whose seemingly perfect relationship took a dark and terrifying turn immediately after childbirth. Taylor shares the shocking reality of her postpartum experience—how the man she loved transformed into an abusive figure, using her vulnerability against her.

Taylor reveals how her partner weaponized her postpartum depression, using it to gaslight and isolate her, and threatening to take her child away. She recounts the reckless anger, the physical altercations, and the chilling moments when she realized she was trapped in a cycle of abuse. She also discusses the red flags she had missed, such as the violent language and anger directed toward other drivers, which are indicators of a potentially abusive personality.

This episode isn't just about Taylor's survival; it's a crucial discussion about postpartum abuse and the ways abusers exploit the unique vulnerabilities of new mothers. It's a vital resource for anyone who suspects something is wrong in their relationship, or who wants to support loved ones navigating the challenges of new parenthood. It also highlights the power of community – Taylor’s family and friends rallied alongside her to help her create a safe and loving home for her and her kids.

“From now on…I am going to put myself and my children first, and I'm gonna love correctly, and I'm going to be loved correctly.”

Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of intimate partner violence, physical, emotional, financial, and psychological abuse, as well as postpartum depression and suicidal ideation. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.

Cindy shares her journey of survival, beginning with her family's financial struggles that led her mother to make a devastating "deal" with a neighbor across the street. Cindy recounts how her mother essentially traded her to this predator, who masked his exploitation as love and trust. For years, Cindy was groomed and sexually assaulted while her mother turned a blind eye in exchange for money. When Cindy did tell her siblings the police got involved. Yet her mother actively encouraged her to “let it go” and not pursue prosecution. Her story sheds light on the systemic failures and personal betrayals that allowed this abuse to persist.

Lisa welcomed Cindy to discuss not only her survival but her path to healing and the complex emotions she grapples with, including her feelings toward her mother. Together, they confront the dark realities of grooming, the devastating impact of a parent’s choices, and the cultural silence surrounding abuse. Cindy’s resilience is a testament to the human spirit, and her advocacy aims to help others find their way out of dark times to prevent the heartache she once endured. 

This episode is a call to action: to break the silence, support survivors, and ensure no child has to endure what Cindy did. It’s about exposing predators hiding in plain sight and empowering survivors to reclaim their stories.

Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of childhood sexual abuse and sex trafficking. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.

Today, we’re highlighting the fact that predators search for minors on dating apps to exploit, coerce, and groom, especially in the gay community. These teens are often blackmailed to remain silent and live these secret lives of pain. The systems that are supposed to protect often don’t take these predators seriously or sweep this exploitation under the rug. In the end, the survivor is further harmed and silenced.

Lisa welcomes Albert Flores a survivor, advocate, and storyteller passionate about creating safer spaces for vulnerable communities. Albert shares how they joined a dating app geared toward the LGBTQ community at 14 in the hopes of connecting with other local gay teens. Unfortunately, he found that local adult men sought him out instead. He was groomed by multiple men, even the older brother of a famous influencer family that created content geared toward children.

When incidents of exploitation were made public, Albert’s school administration, local police force, friends, and even the app safety protocols woefully mishandled these situations. Albert has been on a journey processing the effects of their trauma and PTSD. Now, Albert uses his voice to raise awareness about online safety, survivor support, and mental health.

What happened to Albert should have never been possible. We’re grateful for their courage to tell their story.

This episode is all about education, prevention, and a call to action to hold these institutions and companies accountable so that teens can connect safely on the internet. 

"From now on, we will speak up for ourselves and say no. "

Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of child sexual abuse, nonconsensual distribution of child sexual abuse materials, grooming and eating disorders due to PTSD. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.

Speak Out, Act, Reclaim (SOAR) is dedicated to providing a safe and empowering space for survivors of sex trafficking to reclaim their stories and stand up for themselves and each other.

Today, we’re confronting the historical cycle of submission, manipulation, and control—a cycle that predators exploit to their advantage. For generations, Indigenous communities have endured forced assimilation, systemic oppression, and silencing, conditioning many to submit to authority, to ignore red flags, and to stay silent in the face of abuse. But what happens when someone who claims to be a part of your community turns out to be a fraud?

Lisa welcomes Chiffon Lark, an artist, advocate, and Indigenous woman who survived a calculated campaign of deception, coercion, and emotional abuse. What started as a promising connection quickly unraveled into something far more sinister. Chiffon was targeted by a man who fabricated his identity, infiltrated her community, and used trust as a weapon. From love bombing to gaslighting to financial control, his manipulation was relentless—but so was Chiffon’s resilience.

This episode is about breaking free from cycles of submission, reclaiming power, and exposing imposters who hide behind culture, trust, and false promises.

From now on… “I will execute my right to honor myself first so that I can honor my community.”

Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of coercion, sexual assault, stalking, and predatory behavior.  Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.

Today, we’re diving deep into the dark triad—narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy—and how these personality traits drive manipulation, gaslighting, and coercive control. Abusers don’t just use physical violence; they weaponize charm, isolation, and intermittent reinforcement to keep victims emotionally tethered. And they don’t act alone—there’s an entire system of enablers ensuring their power remains intact.

Lisa welcomes Dr. Nadine Macaluso, former model, therapist, and author of Run Like Hell: A Therapist’s Guide to Recognizing, Escaping, and Healing from Trauma Bonds. Known to many as “Dr. Nae,” she is the real-life inspiration behind Naomi Belfort’s character in The Wolf of Wall Street. After surviving an eight-year marriage to Jordan Belfort, marked by abuse, greed, and trauma, Dr. Nae turned her trauma into a mission—educating others on how to break free from toxic cycles and reclaim their power.

In this episode, Lisa and Dr. Nae uncover the warning signs of trauma bonds, the psychological tricks abusers use to maintain control, and how survivors can break free. Survivors deserve more than just an escape—they deserve healing, empowerment, and the ability to write a new story on their own terms.

This episode is about understanding, empowerment, and reclaiming your life.

From Now On… don't self-abandon, don't self-sacrifice in the name of love. 

Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of intimate partner violence, predatory behavior, and coercive control. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.

Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on the dark underbelly of the entertainment world—where money, influence, and exploitation intersect. Sex trafficking isn’t just happening in the shadows; it thrives in high-end hotels, VIP suites, and behind the flashing lights of Las Vegas. Those who profit from this underground economy aren’t just traffickers and pimps—they include law enforcement, media outlets, and powerful figures who choose silence over accountability.

Lisa welcomes Brian Joseph, an investigative journalist and author of Vegas Concierge: Sex Trafficking, Hip Hop, and Corruption in America. Brian’s groundbreaking reporting reveals how the trafficking industry operates within elite circles, how law enforcement often turns a blind eye, and how survivors are left to fight for justice alone. Together, they explore the case of Mally Mall, a hip-hop producer and convicted trafficker, and discuss the disturbing ways the entertainment industry shields its own.

This episode is about speaking truth to power, holding corrupt systems accountable, and standing with those who risk everything to expose the truth.

From Now On… sex trafficking is a priority amongst American society to eliminate. 

Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of sexual assault and sex trafficking. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.

Today, we’re exposing the terrifying reality of online predators—how they groom, deceive, and exploit children in the digital age. Digital human trafficking and sextortion don’t always start with violence; they often begin with trust. Social media, gaming apps, and private messages have become hunting grounds for predators who hide behind screens, using manipulation to lure their victims into a dangerous trap.

Lisa welcomes Summer Beach, a survivor and fierce advocate who was groomed, blackmailed, and ultimately assaulted by an online predator at just 12 years old. Summer courageously shares her story to shine a light on the hidden epidemic of online child exploitation and to empower young people and parents to recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.

This episode is about breaking the silence, demanding accountability, and taking back power from those who prey on the most vulnerable. 

From Now On… we will not wish bad things upon ourselves. 

Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of online predatory grooming, sextortion of a minor, and sexual assault of child. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.

Today, we’re exposing the hidden reality of emotional, psychological, and financial abuse behind closed doors—especially when the abuser is a powerful figure. The story of intimate partner violence in the NFL is more than just headlines; it’s a deeply rooted issue where fame and wealth often shield perpetrators while silencing survivors.

Lisa welcomes Tori Darling, a mother, business owner, and the creator of the viral TikTok series Who the F Did I Almost Marry? NFL Edition. Tori takes us inside her relationship with a former NFL player, revealing the manipulation, deception, and financial control that kept her trapped. From love bombing to gaslighting to the moment she knew she had to escape, Tori shares her journey of survival and reclaiming her power.

Together, Lisa and Tori discuss the complexities of healing, the challenges of leaving an abusive relationship when financial control is a weapon, and the power of speaking out despite the fear. Survivors deserve to be believed, supported, and empowered—not dismissed or shamed.

This episode is about dismantling the illusion of security, recognizing the red flags, and standing with survivors who refuse to stay silent.

From now on… pay attention to red flags and see them for exactly what they are.

Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of a high-control abusive relationship, which includes psychological, financial, and emotional abuse. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.

In part two of our conversation, Lisa continues speaking with Jane Doe, an artist, tech professional, and survivor, as she shares what happened when she returned to the dating app many months after her assault—only to be matched with another predator. What began as an attempt to reclaim her autonomy quickly turned into a chilling realization: predators and traffickers use dating apps as a hunting ground, and the platform’s algorithm may have led her straight into another dangerous encounter.

The professor from an elite school, with connections to many powerful and wealthy people, love-bombed her differently than her first match. Their relationship quickly escalated to her traveling many hours to an island. There, she was controlled – locked in a room, told when to eat, how to dress, when she could go outside, who she could work for, and more. 

As time went on, threats to her safety became more apparent, and she escaped that relationship only to be met with professional stalking and intimidation. With the help of a trafficking resource center and family. Jane was able to relocate to an unknown location for her safety. Her life is forever changed by this abuse.

Jane came on From Now On to educate others on the intersection of tech + exploitation through her own experiences. She wants to educate others on the complexities of sexual assault and human trafficking so that her own experiences can be utilized for good to help end exploitation, specifically as it relates to power imbalances and predatory playbooks. She believes if we collectively unpack and examine these playbooks and step away from the associated shame that wasn't ours to begin with, we can start to see they mostly utilize the same tactics. Healing isn't a linear journey so she uses her good days to help others impacted by harm.

From Now On…she’s not going to hide.

Thank you, Jane Doe. We are with you.

They also discuss the systemic failures that allow this exploitation to continue and what can be done to hold both predators and dating apps accountable.

Today, we’re tackling the deep connection between shame, stigma, and self-worth.

In this episode, Lisa welcomes Ally Hensley, author of Vagina Uncensored: A Memoir of Missing Parts. Diagnosed as a teenager with a rare medical condition, Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome (MRKH), which changed her life forever, Ally faced decades of shame, self-blame, and disconnection from her body. But through her journey of creating her vagina and confronting her trauma, she found resilience, purpose, and a voice that refuses to be silenced.

Ally and Lisa dive deep into the power of confronting stigma and societal censorship around topics like abuse, body image, and sexual health. Together, they explore how storytelling and radical honesty can transform pain into strength, breaking the cycle of shame and empowering others to embrace their truths.

This episode is all about transformation—healing from within, reclaiming your power, and redefining what it means to live authentically.

From now on… let’s refuse to negotiate with our truths and embrace the courage to transform.

Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of Domestic violence, emotional abuse, and PTSD. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.

Lisa and Hana have a very frank conversation from survivor to survivor. Together, they are on a mission to collapse this economy of abuse and shift culture to support survivors and hold abusers accountable. 

No longer will survivors allow their abusers be able to walk free and thrive. 

This episode is all about education so that the general public can understand and support survivors who go public with their story of abuse. 

From now on… I am not ashamed. I’m empowered.

Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of sexual assault, sex trafficking, and predatory behavior. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.

Hana Katana is a musician, activist, and content creator who exposed her abusers in the entertainment industry on social media.

Today, we’re confronting the issue of the economy of abuse. The media, the entertainment industry, and the justice system all profit from exploiting a survivor. This is why survivors often take years to come forward with their stories. Rather than being supported and encouraged, they are judged, dissected, and questioned.

Lisa welcomes Hana Katana, a musician, activist, and content creator who exposed her abusers in the entertainment industry on social media. It went viral. Hana and Lisa discuss how, since going viral, she experienced exploitation from the media, the LAPD, and the rapper's fans. Although these powerful institutions use fans to question her credibility, aka she’s a “gold digger,” in reality, the media is profiting off of her story. 

Hana and Lisa want survivors who come forward to be supported given grace and empathy rather than victim blaming or shame.

This episode is all about calling out the systems that further harm survivors and holding these institutions accountable.

From now on… you’ll have to stay tuned for next week’s episode to find out.

In this episode, Lisa welcomes Vanessa Reiser, a therapist, survivor, and author of Narcissistic Abuse: A Therapist’s Guide to Identifying, Escaping, and Healing from Toxic and Manipulative People. Together, they confront the devastating realities of narcissistic abuse, detail the Tell a Therapist’s Hierarchy of Restoration and the steps survivors need to take when trying to break free.

Vanessa shares her groundbreaking insights on the parallels between narcissistic relationships and cult dynamics, unveiling how narcissists use tactics like love bombing, future faking, mirroring, triangulation, and isolation to manipulate their prey. Lisa and Vanessa discuss the narcissist playbook and how they use many forms of punishment to control their “cult of one.” Through Vanessa’s book and personal journey, she emphasizes the importance of recognizing abuse, reclaiming autonomy, and building a support system to foster healing.

This episode is a powerful call to action, challenging the narratives that glorify toxic relationships, naming abuse, stopping an ecosystem of chaos, and cultivating a life of radical self-love. Survivors deserve more than survival—they deserve autonomy, joy, and respect.

From now on… I will sit in truth.

In part two, Lisa continues her conversation with Sonya Passi, founder of FreeFrom and the subject of the powerful documentary SURVIVOR MADE. 1 in 4 women and 1 in 2 trans people in the U.S. will experience Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), and the #1 obstacle to a survivor’s safety is financial insecurity. SURVIVOR MADE follows a group of survivors as they defy the odds - building their own thriving businesses in Los Angeles, lobbying for change in Washington DC, and fighting to prove that investing in survivors saves lives.

This episode delves into the documentary’s mission to redefine how society views survivors—not as victims bound by their trauma but as creators, innovators, and leaders who are rebuilding their lives with strength and purpose.

Lisa and Sonya explore how SURVIVOR MADE challenges media stereotypes by focusing on healing, joy, and community rather than trauma. They discuss the powerful message that financial independence and community support are the cornerstones of lasting freedom for survivors. By shifting the narrative, SURVIVOR MADE  inspires hope and empowers viewers to see survivors in a new light—as agents of change and contributors to a brighter future for us all.

From now on… I will not question my potential.

Today, we’re confronting the systemic barriers survivors face in reclaiming their financial independence. Financial abuse is present in 99% of abusive relationships. Leaving these relationships and surviving is expensive.  

Lisa welcomes Sonya Passi, founder of FreeFrom, a grassroots nonprofit organization addressing the economic impact of gender-based violence. Sonya shares how FreeFrom is creating an ecosystem in which survivors can thrive. Sonya details how investing in survivors—through savings programs, entrepreneurial opportunities, and policy reform—not only helps them rebuild but also strengthens our economy and society as a whole. Survivors possess extraordinary resilience, creativity, and drive, and when we empower them, the ripple effects are transformative.

This episode is a call to shift our mindset: survivors aren’t just surviving—they’re building futures that benefit us all. Let’s support them! Together, we can create a society that values and uplifts those who have endured so much.

Stay tuned for part two of Lisa’s conversation with Sonya as they discuss SURVIVOR MADE, a new documentary that follows six survivors of gender-based violence as they strive to grow their

businesses during a make-or-break holiday season in LA.

Today, Lisa shares the story of a relationship that sent her fleeing across the United States for safety. This relationship is one of the reasons why From Now On exists. He was a copycat, and Lisa was his prey.

Lisa welcomes Kate Ranta, a survivor of intimate partner and gun violence. In 2012, after leaving her abusive marriage, her ex-husband stalked Kate to her apartment, where he shot her and her father in front of their 4-year-old son – miraculously, everyone survived the attack. 

In this episode, Lisa and Kate unpack the layers of abuse Kate experienced with her ex. They also explore the ways systems failed Kate time and time again. 

Kate has been an advocate and activist for many years since this traumatic event, appearing in documentaries, tv series episodes, podcasts and other outlets including Rolling Stone and New York Magazine’s The Cut, testifying before Congress, participating in expert panels, and more. Kate is the co-author of “Killing Kate: A Story of Turning Abuse and Tragedy into Transformation and Triumph,” available on Amazon.

This episode is all about seeing the nuanced ways abusers function in an intimate relationship and the ways the system protects abusers rather than survivors. BUT survivorship still prevails.

Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of domestic violence and emotional, physical, and psychological abuse. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.

“Why didn’t you leave? I would have!”

These statements, made by strangers on the internet, tend to be directed towards survivors when they tell their survivor stories. They forget one of the biggest forms of abuse that trap individuals in their relationships – financial abuse. 

Today, Lisa begins to share her own experiences with financial abuse and how that form of abuse is isolating and extremely misunderstood by family, friends, and strangers on the internet. 

Lisa welcomes Titeänyä Rodríguez, a proud Afro-Latina (Puerto Rican, Indigenous, & Jamaican) Writer, Impact Producer, & Director currently based in Los Angeles, CA. Titeänyä shares her own personal story of experiencing financial abuse that still affects her today. She highlights that abuse isn’t just within heteronormative relationships, but it takes place in the queer community too. As a serial survivor, Titeänyä works to advocate for survivors through her productions, storytelling, and as a Certified Crisis Advocate with Peace Over Violence.

This episode is all about noticing the red flags in a relationship that could lead to financial abuse and ways to avoid it. 

From now on, I have a VOICE. I don’t make myself small. I’m using it in whatever way I can.

Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and abuse, and some listeners may find it upsetting. We encourage listeners to prepare themselves before listening.

Lisa welcomes Zelda Perkins, Co-Founder of the Can’t Buy My Silence campaign. Zelda shares her experience of signing an NDA and breaking the NDA. She educates on how NDAs are predatory and abusive to survivors, why they are so prevalent in SA cases, and how they are ultimately not legally enforceable. 

This episode is all about how your voice, your survivor story is more powerful and important than any lump sum for your silence. We encourage you to educate yourself more about NDAs before you sign them.

From now on, always question… don’t be afraid to question. Don’t believe everything a lawyer tells you. 

Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of sexual assault and suicidal ideation. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.

Zelda Perkins was the first woman to break an NDA in 2017, signed decades earlier, with Harvey Weinstein. She brought the systematic abuse of NDA’s to the attention of the British Government and international press, giving evidence at two parliamentary inquiries, which uncovered an epidemic of misuse, and pushed the Solicitors Regulatory Authority to take disciplinary action against the lawyer who created the NDA for Weinstein. Her actions have been inspiring others to come forward by her example. She has been campaigning for legislative and regulatory reform in the UK since 2017 and launched the Global campaign Can’t Buy My Silence cantbuymysilence.com with Canadian Co Founder, Professor Julie Macfarlane in September 2021. They are working with Government in the UK, the Republic of Ireland, Canada and Australia to change legislation and regulation around the misuse of NDA’s. They have had legislative success in the UK, Ireland and Canada with the first laws of their kind banning NDAs being passed in all three countries, however there is still a long way to go. Zelda was named a Person of the Year by Time magazine in 2018,  by the Guardian in 2020 and in 2023 awarded for her Outstanding Contribution to Gender Equality by UN Women UK. Her character was portrayed by Samantha Morton in the Universal Pictures feature “She Said” documenting her part in the downfall of Weinstein.

She shares her experiences with grief, the psychology of trauma, and her expressions of survival through her art.
