    Elizabeth Frazier | On Surviving Child Sex Trafficking

    Perhaps one of the most challenging stories you will hear on this podcast. Elizabeth Frazier tells us her story of being trafficked by her parents from the age of 4 until she was an adult.  So much about Elizabeth's story will be shocking and heartbreaking. But what may surprise you the most is that Elizabeth was from a neighborhood just like yours, from a family just like yours and led a life that on the outside probably looked a lot like yours. Sex trafficking and pornography are two of the fastest growing plagues in our world today. And they aren't relegated to the seedy edges of another country, state or even city. What can we do about it. Elizabeth's advice is for us to all just be that safe place for somebody. Be that person that offers a smile and hope and light.  The best part of this story is Elizabeth herself. Although she endured over 20 years of abuse at the hands of her parents, she has gone on to have a happy marriage, beautiful children, and a successful career. Her organization @hero_bands provides inspiration to people all over the world and uses its success to support other organizations that fight trafficking and porn. Elizabeth is an inspiration and proof that you can overcome trauma, you are in charge of your future and you can create beauty out of the ugliest of situations.  GET TO KNOW ELIZABETH @hero_bands GET TO KNOW US:  @elasespas | elase.com @nimanow | nima.edu @simplyamazingpodcast

    Sarah Frei | On How Gratitude and Self-Worth Helped Overcome Tragedy

    Sarah is a member of the golf team, a cheer leader and active with her friends. The summer before her senior year in high school her life dramatically changed when she lost both her legs in a car accident. Going into this conversation, I assumed that it would be a story of how to pull yourself out of the sadness and despair that seems inevitable in a tragedy like this. I assumed Sarah would talk about the months of painful recovery and how she went about rebuilding a new life after mourning the loss of her old one. But when I asked Sarah what her first reaction was when she came out of sedation and learned both her legs had been amputated, her answer literally left me speechless. Her perspective and attitude about her circumstances left no doubt that she has a mission here on earth. There is no doubt that she was prepared for this her whole life. There is no doubt that she has a powerful message to share that will impact us all. This is an incredible conversation with Sarah and her parents that I am very grateful for.  Just a few of the messages Sarah shares in this episode: - Accept your body and your self AS YOU ARE - Loving your self should not be based on what you can do - There is always something to be grateful for, it just depends on what you are looking for - Be grateful for the angels you have around you - There is always a way... it might just have to be different than what you already know GET TO KNOW SARAH:  @strong.like.sarah @_sarahfrei_ GET TO KNOW US:  @elasespas | elase.com @nimanow | nima.edu @simplyamazingpodcast

    Jessica Storm | Putting Your Crown Back On

    After struggling to get pregnant for the first time, Jessica was thrilled to make it to week 28. She celebrated every moment. And then she received a tragic diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer. A very aggressive form of cancer that required treatment while pregnant. While the baby came out healthy, she continued on through 11 rounds of chemo and a double mastectomy.  After getting the "all is well" diagnosis, on a routine trip to the dermatologist, she was diagnosed with stage 1 melanoma. She had it removed pretty easily, but just two weeks later, she got the third strike; a brain tumor. ` Jessica agreed to do this interview about a year after she had been given the all-clear for the third time. Then just 2 weeks prior to our conversation, Jessica was given yet another devastating diagnosis; her brain cancer has returned and even more aggressively. When I asked if she wanted to cancel, she insisted that she is going to keep fighting and keep spreading her message of joy.  This conversation is powerful coming from a woman who has conquered struggles but is also still in the heart of her hardest struggle yet. To me, Jessica is an example for all of us on how to enjoy not just the journey, but also enjoy the trials. She is vulnerable and raw and inspiring. Jessica's mantra "This is just a setback to my ultimate comeback." Get To Know Jessica:  @sudden_storm12 Get To Know Us:  @carriebrinton @simplyamazingpodcast @nimanow @elasespas
