Instead, Kathryn Griffin turns lived experience into a mission to help others find freedom. Now working in law enforcement and human trafficking victim services, she reveals why lasting recovery requires more than simply walking away from destructive behaviors. She explores trauma bonding, the hidden realities of human trafficking, and why honesty can take the sting out of a painful past. Through Our Roadway to Freedom and her peer-to-peer recovery work, she challenges the labels society places on survivors and offers a radically different view of rehabilitation. What does it really take to stop running from your story and transform adversity into purpose? Key Takeaways Lasting recovery requires changing the behaviors surrounding addiction, not simply abstaining from substances. Owning the truth about a painful past can remove its power and reduce the shame attached to it. Human trafficking extends beyond sex trafficking to include labor, organ, and drug trafficking. Trauma can create destructive patterns that repeatedly pull survivors back toward what hurt them. Lived experience can become a powerful foundation for helping others rebuild their lives and find freedom. Notable Quotes “When you tell the truth about your life, your story, and you put it out there, it takes the sting out.” “Everything they said that I can't do, God has allowed me to do.” “Every day you wake up on zero and you just have to get through that day.” “It's very important to be honest with yourself.” “I wanted to throw the rope back to others that did not, like myself, have the opportunity to get the help that was needed.”","meta_description":"A past marked by human trafficking, the sex industry, substance abuse, and incarceration could have defined her future.
