Raised in a terribly abusive family, placed in 18 foster homes between ages 13 and 18, kicked out of the system at age 18 with no resources, human-trafficked, prostituted, drug-addicted, raped and left for dead. So how could this week's guest, Ms. Lauri Burns, have survived, much less become a genuine Guardian Angel for hundreds of young ladies who suffered a similar fate? Learn Lauri's story and, just like your host, you will have tears in your eyes. Her motto: Go Big or Go Home! And she has gone big by succeeding in a Fortune 500 company, founding The Teen Project, which has transformed the lives and futures of more than 1640 similarly-abused young ladies, and fostering 40 young ladies in her own home. Lauri said: At first I thought God hated me to put me in this life. But, she goes on, now I know he was just setting me up to serve others. Read her story in her book Punished for Purpose or, better yet, tune in to this interview -- because this is a truly special lady!

“Trauma to Triumph and the Limitless Potential of Love”with Lauri Burns, Founder of TheTeenProject In this episode we welcome SUPER HERO Lauri Burns, Author of “Punished for Purpose” and Founder of TheTeenProject.com and Vera’s Sanctuary, the only licensed Residential Drug Treatment site in Orange County, CA dedicated to victims of Human Trafficking. Our aim is to shine the light on what one woman is doing to transform the lives of young women who have been victims of human trafficking and hear how she teaches others to start non-profit organizations for at-risk youth and foster kids. Lauri has dedicated much of her adult life to helping those in need after growing up in the foster care system because of the abuse and trauma she experienced in her childhood. She grew up in group homes, was addicted to drugs and was a victim of human trafficking herself after aging out of foster care and living on the streets. She turned her life around and now shows how the power of LOVE can help heal.
