*** I am labeling this as explicit simply because it may not be suitable for younger children - the topics include trafficking, addiction and domestic abuse, however, no profanity. The content that is discussed is done so respectfully to Kristin and all who have endured any kind of abuse.

Welcome to the Official Podcast of Ladies Full of Grit. In this episode you'll meet Kristin Vaughn, a dedicated advocate for those that have endured addiction, abuse and trafficking. Why has she dedicated her life to this mission of saving others out of those situations? Because SHE is a trafficking and domestic abuse survivor. While this episode does not have strong language, it does include topics where listener discretion is advised for younger ears. We want you to be aware of that! This is HER story. She doesn't sugar coat, hold back or shy away from what she endured.
