I survived human trafficking. I want to share my story with you in hopes of healing and prevention. Through three years of being trafficked and the four years I have spent dealing with the PTSD, the triggers, the Stockholm's syndrome, the paralyzing fear, regret and shame, I have learned so much worth sharing. Let's chat.

  • So glad to hear you again!

    Your podcast is riveting. I live near a major highway connecting two countries and several states. We have a lot of traffickers trolling our areas. I was worried something had happened that you had not made more episodes. I’m personally invested and I care deeply about people.

    12/4 I sure hope you are still doing well. It’s been a while since we’ve heard from you.

    God bless

  • So much respect for Jill & her work

    Edit Oct 2023: I’m so glad to hear your voice again after you took some time away but I’m heartbroken by your recent news. I can’t begin to imagine how difficult things must be for you right now. I can only offer you my empathy and sympathy and encourage you to keep your chin up and keep going. I’m sure you’re tired of fighting for your life, of being strong, but I have faith in you. Things may feel impossible right now and I understand why you feel so sad and angry. Allow yourself space to grie... more

  • So much respect for Jill & her work

    Jill has a natural gift for giving her story the gravitas it deserves but also for breaking it up with a little levity here and there. I understand needing to add a bit of humour or nervous laughter to stories where trauma is so thematic and I think Jill does an amazing job at striking this balance & is a naturally good host. The content of this show is of utmost importance and I commend this young woman for her hard work & willingness to share such difficult truths in order to help out other wo... more

  • Love

    I love this podcast, I love this podcaster. At the start I was worried that Jill wouldn’t come back, that it would be way too much and too overwhelming. Then she did come back, every time her voice is like this little beacon of hope. There is a lot of love for you out here, Jill, keep up the truly amazing, brave work ❤️

  • I want to be friends with Jill

    Such a good little podcast. Jill tells her story in such an honest way, upbeat way even though it's so brutal. She is super likable and I really hope this podcast reaches people who need to hear it.

  • Wow! MUST LISTEN

    I have zoomed through the episodes in ONE WEEKEND! She does an amazing job of informing people about trafficking and how women get into it. Bless her heart, and may she continue to share her story to make others more aware so we can ALL help put a stop to trafficking. She has been through so much but here she is sharing her story in hopes it’ll make a difference so let’s help her do that by listening!!!
