Steff Rusher - Sex Trafficking Survivor, Recovery, and Operation Underground

Hello Loves,

Thank you for downloading the podcast, my name is Arlina, and I’ll be your host. 

 My guest is Steff Rusher, founder of “Fallen” a clothing line created to bring awareness to rape, sexual slavery, and human trafficking.  She donates 20% of all profits from clothing to the “Underground Railroad organization.”  Their website tag line is “We exist to rescue children from sex trafficking and sex exploitation.

I’ll just give you a heads up that although this is ultimately a story of overcoming addiction, hope and inspiration, some of the content is tough to hear. But we do talk a lot about solutions and we also have a lot of fun because hey, that’s just how we are!

Steff demonstrates a tremendous amount of strength and courage to have come so far. I intentionally chose to leave this episode largely unedited because I believe there is strength in vulnerability. 

Also because what has happened to her still carries consequences and I felt it was important to bear witness to the after effects. I was so moved by her story and her mission, that I am including a link to the Underground Railroad  Organization on my website as well, to help those who are committed to rescuing victims of sexual slavery. There’s actually a powerful documentary on Amazon and I’ll leave a link to it in the show notes.

Steff’s continues to live by example, what is possible for all of us, which is to heal our past. So with that, I would like to share this conversation with Steff.
