633 | Finding A Way Out Of Trafficking with Amanda Blackwood

In this episode, we are speaking with Author, Artist, Speaker, and Survivor, Amanda Blackwood. Amanda is an accomplished artist and author, public speaker, podcast host, trauma recovery mentor, and a survivor of human trafficking. Amanda has spoken on a multitude of stages, international summits, and radio programs, and has published over a dozen books. She launched two podcasts - one that focuses on interviewing other authors of trauma, and the other that discusses the long-term consequences of trauma and how to fight back for a better life. A portion of every book sale goes to help fight human trafficking. Amanda lives in Denver, Colorado with her rescue cats and supportive husband who keep her sane. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Amanda is a survivor of human trafficking who was not "rescued" by anyone. She had to own her own life to get out alive. 2) Amanda shares her story of being trafficked on multiple occasions, how she supported herself in her healing and recovery, and how she is openly sharing her story on multiple podcast episodes and publishing 13 books since 2017. Amanda's story is full of hope, and possibility, and creating an impact by sharing a vulnerable story.
