Summary
*This episode contains discussion of rape and sexual abuse. Viewer discretion is advised*Elizabeth Smart joins me to share the story that shocked the country. At just 14 years old, she was taken from her bedroom in the middle of the night and held captive for nine months before being found alive. In this conversation, Elizabeth talks about what happened, what those months were like, how she survived, and what life looked like after the headlines faded. We also talk about trauma, healing, resilience, and the reality of moving forward after something unimaginable. This is a heavy episode, but an incredibly important one. I’m grateful to Elizabeth for her honesty, courage, and willingness to tell her story in her own words.
