    The Five Minute Breakdown: Nobody’s Girl by Virginia Roberts Giuffre

    In today’s Five-Minute Breakdown, Sheri takes a powerful, heartfelt look at Nobody’s Girl by Virginia Roberts Giuffre— a memoir of survival, trafficking, trauma, and the ongoing fight for justice. Sheri also shares her own vulnerable experience with the book — how it unexpectedly triggered panic attacks, and why stopping was an act of strength, not weakness. With insights from trusted friends who finished the memoir, this episode offers an honest, compassionate, and deeply human look at a story that changed the world’s understanding of abuse and power. If you or someone you know has experienced trauma, please take care while listening. Remember: healing isn’t linear, your voice matters, and you’re never alone. Got something to share?
