WARNING: Today's episode contains graphic content about human trafficking and could be a trigger for people who have experienced abuse or violence at the hands of another. January is National Slavery & Human Trafficking Prevention month. It is difficult to hear the atrocities of human trafficking and its impact on human lives. My guest, Sandy Storm, shares the numerous challenges she faced throughout the twenty years she was exploited and dehumanized, she also shares how during those difficult years, she believed God had a plan for her life. Could any good come from someone so broken? Yes!!! Sandy cried out to God, handing him her broken life. He graciously exchanged her brokenness with salvation wrapped in His unfailing love. Her healing and restoration led her to the realization God made her a new creation. Filled with this life-changing news, Sandy drew close to Him. Remember Joseph's reply to his brothers? He said, “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish the saving of many lives.” God whispered the same words to her and said He preserved her during those horrific years, so she could be a part of the solution to ending human trafficking. Thus, Sandy is a modern-day abolitionist and serves as the Director of Strategic impact for Deliver Fund, a non-profit whose mission is to keep communities safe by bringing human traffickers to justice. Her experiences and knowledge make her a powerful warrior who IS helping to destroy the darkness in our world.Her three novellas based on her experiences – Becoming Navi, Hello Navi, and Goodbye Navi – are available on Amazon. To learn more about Sandy or connect with her, visit her website at authorsandystorm.com. If you are interested in learning more about Deliver Fund's efforts to end human trafficking or joining their prayer team, please visit deliverfund.org.If you are being trafficked or know someone who is, the Human Trafficking hotline is 1-888-373-7888. All calls are confidential. 

January is National Human Trafficking Prevention Month and we are joined by Special Agent in Charge Angie Salazar and Acting Assistant Special Agent in Charge Lisa Keith to help raise awareness. Angie & Lisa discuss how to recognize the indicators of human trafficking, some of the most common misconceptions, and how to appropriately respond to possible cases.They also share some of the career opportunities available within the Department of Homeland Security.

In the field of Social Work, any helping field, and honestly in life, you hear how you're supposed to do“self-care” to prevent burnout. But what exactly is SELF-CARE?This was filmed after Jaime & Angee ordered Thai food delivery and ate between recordings, which is now a new podcasting filming tradition for self-care from the kids.This led to sharing a metaphor regarding scuba diving and how it pertains to self-care.Angee also coined a new term *SERVING* professionals, rather than “helping” professionals. This was mentioned in an earlier episode about Human Trafficking Prevention, so that shoutout will make sense now.Angee's Mug: Picture of Dolly Parton with a rainbow surrounding her(woops, a duplicate from last episode...)Jaime's Mug: Why Not?SUBSCRIBE to The Shrink Show Newsletter: http://www.theshrinkshowpodcast.com/Follow us on all the socials: @TheShrinkShowA Hurrdat Media Production.

Executive director of the newly created Office of Human Trafficking Prevention and Baton Rouge native, Dr. Dana R. Hunter, joins us for an important conversation on the impact of human trafficking on individuals and what the State of Louisiana is doing to fight it. In 2017, after serving in various leadership roles in academia and government, she was appointed by Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards as the Executive Director of the Governor's Office Children's Cabinet. In this role, she worked passionately to coordinate and align resources and policies to better outcomes for children in the state of Louisiana.  She worked closely with Governor Edwards and First Lady Donna Edwards to facilitate statewide anti-human trafficking efforts and the Human Trafficking Prevention Commission. This past year, Governor John Bel Edwards appointed Dr. Hunter to serve as Executive Director of the newly established Governor's Office of Human Trafficking Prevention. The mission of this office is to prevent and combat human trafficking and to promote healing and justice for victims and survivors.  Additionally, the OHTP will take a lead role in creating a statewide cohesive care coordination model for victims regardless of their location and identity and a network of resources to aid in prevention. Tune in on Wednesday, May 4 @ 6pm EST!

Louisiana's First Lady Donna Edwards has established a national coalition for the prevention of human sex trafficking that includes five first spouses. Edwards, along with Dr. Dana Hunter, executive director of the newly created Office of Human Trafficking Prevention, tell us more about their work helping to identify trafficking, addressing causes of the problem, and supporting victims.  On Saturday, fans from across the country gathered at the Superdome for the NCAA March Madness Final Four basketball tournament. And while no team from this state so much as made it past the first round, Louisianans still found themselves with something to root for: New Orleans native Caleb Daniels. Louisiana Considered's Managing Producer Alana Schreiber tells us how Caleb triumphed over serious illness to make it to the big dance. Over the past year, you've been hearing more and more stories from the Gulf States Newsroom, a partnership among NPR stations across Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.

If the year were so far an Olympics, today would be the final ceremony. But we’re just at the beginning of a new era in Virginia with a new Governor who has demonstrated a different approach than the previous one. These words are being sent out just as another winter storm rolls through. So, this rare Sunday edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement is being crafted to capture this moment when we don’t quite know what will happen, but there are signs. I’m your host, Sean Tubbs.The newsletter and podcast is free, so sign up to make sure it shows up in your inbox! On today’s show: Albemarle and the region prepare for another winter storm Governor Glenn Youngkin is sworn in and signs eleven executive orders, including a withdrawal to pull out of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative and a revocation of statewide mask mandatesThe Piedmont Housing Alliance breaks ground on the development of Friendship Court after many yearsFirst subscriber-supported shout-outMonday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society invites you to hear from their newest board member at a meeting beginning at 7 p.m. Gayle Jessup White is the first Public Relations and Community Engagement Officer for Monticello and the first descendant of Thomas Jefferson and the enslaved community to work for the Thomas Jefferson Foundation. Gayle Jessup White will talk about her book Reclamation: Sally Hemmings, Thomas Jefferson, and a Descendant’s Search for her Family’s Lasting Legacy. That’s 7 p.m on Monday and you can register for the Zoom call or watch on Facebook Live. Sign up now at albemarlehistory.org. Albemarle County EmergencyAlbemarle County has declared a local emergency in advance of today’s winter storm in order to help coordinate services in the event that it is disruptive. “It has the potential to cause downed trees, widespread power outages, and hazardous travel conditions,” reads the disaster declaration issued by County Executive Jeffrey Richardson.Dan Eggleston is the chief of Albemarle Fire Rescue and he said his staff has been watching the weather forecasts. “We have been engaged with the state resources as well as local utilities and others to help understand the potential impact that this storm may have on county residents,” Eggleston said. Former Governor Ralph Northam issued a declaration of emergency on Friday. Eggleston said the forecast became more clear as of Saturday morning and that the threat of further power outages loomed. There could be a lot of wet snow and ice, prompting County Executive Jeffrey Richardson to make the declaration. “Basically what this does is allows us to implement our emergency operations plan and activate any contracts we might have to solicit resources including a clear channel to the state should we  need any additional resources beyond our local capacity,” Eggleston said. If you need resources, or want to know what they may be before a power outage affects you, visit communityemergency.org. The Virginia Department of Transportation is asking people to stay home on Sunday due to potential blizzard conditions. “The current forecast indicates this event will drop significant snow, followed by freezing rain and ice in many areas, targeting the central region of Virginia and areas along the Interstate 81 corridor with the most extreme conditions,” reads a press release. VDOT urges anyone who does travel today to carry an emergency winter weather kit including food, water, blankets, and other tools needed if you are stranded. Albemarle fatalityAlbemarle County has also reported the death of a driver in a single-vehicle crash yesterday morning in the 4100 block of Free Union Road. This is the first traffic fatality of the year in Albemarle. Youngkin sworn in as Virginia’s 74th Governor signs 11 executive actions Soon after being sworn in, Governor Glenn Youngkin got to work with a series of executive orders to undo many key policies of the last administration and General Assembly. It was, in fact, Day One of his administration, and many of the directives are intended to comb through Virginia’s policy to remove that which the Governor finds offensive.“Well, it’s Day One, and we’ve had a great morning and as we head into the afternoon, it’s time to get to work,” Youngkin said.  Youngkin made a point of gathering in a working office in the Governor’s mansion that hasn’t been used in two years. To his right, Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears. To his left, Secretary of the Commonwealth Kay Coles James. No one in the picture wears a mask. “These executive actions combined with the 59 bills that are being carried in our legislature right now by Delegates and Senators and 25 budget amendments comprise the actions necessary to put our Day One game plan into motion,” Youngkin said. The first bans “the use of inherently divisive concepts, including Critical Race Theory” and states that “political indoctrination has no place in our classroom.” Specifically, the order directs the Superintendent of Public Instruction to end all policies that promote “inherently divisive concepts” and remove “those that promote or endorse divisive or inherently racist concepts.” Youngkin didn’t elaborate much on this one but did welcome the person who will oversee some of the education changes. “I’m particularly excited to be joined by our Secretary of Education designee, Aimee Guidera,” Youngkin said This order singles out programs by name, such as the Department of Education’s Cultural Competency Training Program, EdEquityVA, and the Virginia Math Pathways Initiative. (read the full text)A change in pandemic policyThree of the actions relate to the pandemic. Executive Directive Two rescinds a mandate that state employees get vaccinated against COVID. Youngkin said it is a matter of individual rights. “No executive branch employees shall be required to be vaccinated or required to disclose their vaccination status as a condition of their employment,” Youngkin said. “Let me be clear. I continue to be an absolutely staunch advocate for the vaccine. I’ve gotten the vaccine. I’ve gotten the booster. Suzanne has gotten the vaccine and gotten the booster. I believe it is the best way to keep your family safe. But we also believe individual liberty counts and matters and therefore rather than mandate we’re going to work to educate.” Executive Order Two ends Virginia’s requirement that children in public school be masked. This one points out what it calls outdated information in the August 12, 2021 order and states that the Omicron variant causes less severe than the Delta variant. (read the full text)Executive Order Six orders the Virginia Safety and Health Codes Board to conduct an emergency meeting to decide if a Virginia Department of Labor and Industry COVID standard should be eliminated.(take a look at the standard)“Most succinctly I can say this executive order keeps Virginia open for business,” Youngkin said. “We’ll remove burdensome COVID-19 regulations.”Executive Order Nine seeks the re-evaluation of Virginia’s participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative and to begin undoing the regulations embedded in executive branch agencies such as the Department of Environmental Quality. “The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative as I’ve said before is nothing more than a carbon tax, a carbon tax that raises the utility bills of all Virginians,” Youngkin said. Youngkin thanked Andrew Wheeler for being willing to serve as Secretary of Natural and Historic Resources, a position where he will oversee the dismantling of RGGI. There are also several bills filed to accomplish many of the changes to state law. The order also states that RGGI be notified of the administration’s intent to withdraw.

Friendship Court groundbreakingAfter years of planning, the Piedmont Housing Alliance has broken ground on the multi-phase redevelopment of Friendship Court. Phase One will be built on the open space portion of the existing 150-unit residential complex. Sunshine Mathon is the executive director of the Piedmont Housing Alliance. “For over 40 years, Friendship Court, also known to many as Garret Square has been home to over hundreds of families,” Mathon said. “For some, it was a short time. For others, it is all they have known. For some, it has been a place of solace and respite during difficult times. For others it has reflected the pain of broader racial and social injustices, and families caught in the unrelenting gears of generational poverty.” Before Friendship Court, the land had been a predominantly Black neighborhood and was razed during what’s known as the Garret Street urban renewal. Planning for what would replace Friendship Court has been underway for many years. Piedmont Housing Alliance has been involved since before Mathon joined the agency four and a half years ago. “When I arrived in Charlottesville I knew little of this history and as an outsider and as a white man, I have had to listen and I have had to come to learn that we cannot turn our gaze to the future to explore what’s possible whether here at Friendship Court or in the region more broadly without truly knowing the weight of the past,” Mathon said. A site plan for the four phases at Friendship Court has been developed by the Timmons Group, and this calls for a range between 350 to 500 units on the 11.758 acres with up to 60,000 square feet for commercial, business, or assembly space. This site plan also shows a road network that eventually will become public streets. Mathon said that work has been overseen by a committee of current residents. “They have participated in deep community outreach,” Mathon said. “They have chosen architects and contractors, they have taken field trips to other cities to explore what has been done elsewhere and they have worked and reworked and reworked and reworked a plan for redevelopment aimed directly at redressing root causes such as systemic inequity.” Charlottesville City Council has approved millions of funds in contributions to the project’s financing including a $5.5 million forgivable loan approved by Council in October 2020. (read a story from then)“So much of what is pushed in front of our faces on City Council is five-star hotels, the University, fancy restaurants, business development, and that’s all fine enough but it’s this what makes Charlottesville a great community,” said City Councilor Michael Payne. “To have residents who are taking self-control of their future in building with our community their future.” You can watch the ground-breaking in a link in the newsletter.

Most trafficking is carried out by people familiar to the child involved.So what sort of precautions can, and should, we take?Why is communication with a trusted person soo important for children?And how can we, as adults, help children who might be at risk?I loved the whole conversation and definitely learned an awful lot about a subject I thought I had some idea of but it turns out almost everything I thought I knew was wrong.You can find Stephanie, and the Set Me Free Project here.Their website https://www.setmefreeproject.net/If you are interested in their training programs for work and agencies you can find that hereFollow her on FacebookAnd on Instagram They're even on Twitter! In the news this week; This study about the health impacts of "weight-cycling". A common myth heard these days is that intentionally losing weight (dieting) and then gaining that weight again is bad for your overall health and that, actually, you're better off staying at your higher weight. This is nonsense. There is ZERO evidence to show that that is the case and this study from 2014 clearly shows that.For next week's podcast we will do a "Top dieting myths" episode so, let me know if you have any questions you'd like answered or have heard something silly recently that you want to share.Remember that I am still looking for people to test to userfriendlyness of our program to people with hearing issues so if you would like to get involved and get FREE lifetime access, just send a little email to peter@healthypostnatalbody.comRemember to follow us on Instagram and Facebook for the competitions, wisdom and cute videos.

Being with the darkness (the bad, the ugly), whether it's darkness out there or darkness within us, is the vital first step to shift any aspect of reality. This is what we learn from Jan Edwards who educates us on the silent crime of human trafficking. This has become a $150 billion dollar a year industry with over 300,000 children a year lured into it in the United States alone. Internationally, the numbers are in the millions. For Jan, learning that in the 21st century people are still selling people into slavery, was a huge wake up call. For many of us, it's something that when we first learn about it, we are tempted to turn the other way and pretend we don't know about it. In this episode, we explore why that is. Jan shares with us how awareness and compassion are the two factors that make the biggest difference in working towards eradicating this reality, and how being able to grant space for and BE WITH the darkness is her super-power. Remember, if you see something, say something.

The Riverside County Department of Social Services will begin hosting its annual conference on human trafficking prevention virtually on Monday. Dr. Katariina Rosenblatt, a trafficking survivor and author of the book Stolen , will speak at the conference on Thursday. She said trafficking is a challenging problem to bring awareness to. “People are having to get out of their comfort zone and realize they themselves and their children here in the U.S. are being targeted and could become victims of human trafficking," said Rosenblatt . "It’s not just something that happens in other countries.” The four day conference will bring together survivors, educators and local community organizations, including the Riverside-based Operation SafeHouse, to educate the public during National Human Trafficking Prevention Month. Trafficking is a crime where people are forced to provide labor or commercial sex acts, and California is a top destination for it in the U.S. A report from the Los Angeles-based

While sex traffickers more commonly manipulate youth into the commercial sex trade, more and more sensationalized accounts of child abduction into the sex trade have cropped up on Facebook and in news reports. How do we educate parents so that they are aware of all of the ways sex trafficking occurs, particularly those most common ways. And how do we help parents resolve the ever present conflict between being your child's "friend" vs being your child's "parent"? Youth tell trusted others about what is truly happening in their lives. How does a parent become one of those trusted others?

According to the Institute on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault at the University of Texas 313,000 people in Texas, including 79,000 children are victims of human trafficking.  In this KRLD In Depth we focus on the explosive problem, we talk to victims about what they went through, and how they survived.  We also discuss the laws in place to fight human trafficking, and how you can recognize a potential victim.

January is Human Trafficking Prevention month. It’s a time that shines a light on the issue and raises awareness. In 2018, 10,949 cases of human trafficking were reported to the Polaris-operated National Human Trafficking Hotline. According to statistics from Polaris (https://polarisproject.org/human-trafficking) these cases involved 23,078 individual survivors; 5,859 potential traffickers and 1,905 trafficking businesses. Human trafficking is still one of the most under reported crimes and often times go unnoticed.  Many people working in the hotel industry are now being trained on how to spot human trafficking and are learning ways to help the victim get to safety. In this podcast we discuss ways to spot human trafficking, how to potentially give help to a victim and look at a few laws and tactics law enforcement is doing to help. Our guests include former prosecutor Mary David and Elisabeth Gegner with Freedom Ride Project. A community forum on legalization and decriminalization of prostitution will be held Jan. 15 in San Clemente.

 My Sister My Seed was founded in 2013 by Dr. Vanetta R. Rather to address the personal, social, and systemic issues that negatively affect and impact women and girls.  After over a decade of preaching to youth and families as an ordained minister, Dr. Rather sought additional methods to address the needs of those she served.  With 70% of women and children in the US currently living in or on the brink of poverty, domestic sex trafficking devastating the lives of women and girls from every socio-economic background, and a broken system of education that leaves minority students behind, Dr. Rather felt compelled and called to action.  My Sister My Seed is the response to that call.

A summary of January, the first month of the 114th Congress. In this episode, a favor for Wall Street is signed into law, the Senate did almost nothing, and the House passed bills that benefit Wall Street, fossil fuel companies, and companies that don't want to give you health insurance. There were a few good bills mixed in there too.

January Laws HR 26: Terrorism Risk Insurance Program ReAuthorization Act of 2015 The bill reauthorizes and changes the terms of the program that provides Federal insurance to businesses damaged in a terrorist attack. The program was dead for 12 days after expiring on December 31, 2014. Extends the program until December 31, 2020 Decreases the Federal share of compensation from 85% to 80% over the course of the next five years. There's a $100 billion cap on Federal losses. The program trigger, which is the point at which insurance companies get Federal money, gradually increases from $100 million now to $200 million. The Secretary of Treasury alone will certify the act of terrorism; the Secretary of State will no longer be involved. A rollback of the Dodd Frank financial reform bill was attached. The attachment prevents the SEC from telling swaps traders how much cash they need to put up front to make a swaps trade. The attachment is the text of the Business Risk Mitigation and Price Stabilization Act, which was written by Rep. Michael Grimm. He tried to get it passed in the 112th and 113th Congresses, before he resigned on the first day of the 114th Congress after pleading guilty to tax fraud.
