When most people hear “human trafficking,” they picture kidnappings, foreign crime rings, and dramatic movie rescues. But the truth is often far more ordinary—and far more heartbreaking.

In this episode, I sit down with Kathy Bryan, a passionate advocate and expert on anti-trafficking work and founder of The Genesis Project, to unpack what trafficking actually looks like in America today. Together, they challenge common myths, explore how traffickers exploit vulnerabilities, and reveal why prevention starts with healthy relationships and informed communities.

They discuss:

• How trafficking often happens within families or romantic relationships

• The myths media has taught us—and the truths survivors live every day

• The emotional, relational, and spiritual toll on victims and advocates

• What real prevention and long-term support look like

If you’ve ever wondered what trafficking really is—and what role we each play in ending it—this conversation will open your eyes and your heart.

And, obviously, a trigger warning for abuse and related issues.
