124-Protecting Our Children: Boundaries, Awareness & Hope with Tiffany Brearton

Hey, moms, this podcast today is not for little ears. The message today is twofold. It's about prevention and healing of sexual abuse. Stay tuned for the From Parking Spot podcast. Join host Jennifer Bosma and guest Tiffany Brearton — author, speaker, and founder of She Was Made for More — for a raw, faith-filled conversation about survival, redemption, and action. Tiffany shares her personal story of childhood sexual abuse, her years in the adult entertainment industry, and how encountering the love of God brought healing and purpose. You’ll hear about her books From Stilettos to Grace and From a Mess to His Message, and how she now mobilizes churches and communities to bring hope to exploited women. This episode covers practical prevention and protection strategies for parents: keeping open lines of communication with children, teaching and respecting bodily boundaries, believing children when they disclose abuse, recognizing the “uh-oh” feeling as an early warning, cautious approaches to sleepovers, and how to respond if a child reports inappropriate touching. Jennifer and Tiffany emphasize the importance of early intervention to reduce long-term harm. The conversation also highlights community response and resources: advocacy and outreach through ministries like She Was Made for More and Hadassah’s Hope, pregnancy center partnerships, ways to volunteer (from in-person outreach to assembling care packages), and how churches can be mobilized to bring compassionate, non‑judgmental help to vulnerable women. Tiffany offers encouragement for anyone who wants to get involved and points listeners toward local connections and support. Key takeaways include the prevalence of childhood sexual trauma, the need to break the silence, practical steps parents can take today to protect their children, and the power of faith and community in healing and prevention. This episode is both a testimony and a call to action for moms who want to make a difference in their families and neighborhoods.
