She Just Wanted to See Snow: Human Trafficking & How Awareness Saves Lives

She Just Wanted to See Snow: Human Trafficking & How Awareness Saves Lives

"She just wanted to see snow." That's how Sensei Carol White describes one of the survivors she's met. Carol is a black belt martial artist and co-chair of the first human trafficking awareness committee of Women's Club of Coconut Grove in Florida and she's been fighting this in our backyard for almost a decade. The numbers stopped us cold. 1 out of 7 men here has paid for sex with a minor. 90% of identified victims are girls between 11 and 17. Most of them are local kids. We talk about how it actually happens, the Romeo effect, the social media grooming, the runaways and foster kids they target first. Carol shows us self-defense you can use with what's already in your hand. And she tells us the one thing to yell that actually makes people come running. (Hint: it's not "help.") This episode isn't easy. But we walked away less scared and more aware. And that's everything. See something, say something.

Who Turns Women On: Marni Mann

She opened the show by reading us something that made Kriszta say "go to bed." That's when we knew this was going to be different. Marni Mann has written over 40 books. Five to six a year. She started with addiction memoirs and pivoted to spicy billionaire romance and never looked back. Her readers thank her. Their husbands thank her husband. We got into female desire, fantasy, dead libidos, what women actually want from romance, why overwhelmed women need escapism more than anyone admits. We also talked about grief, her grandmother, and the book she wrote at 4AM the night she held her hand as she died. Yes. All of that. One episode. Topics: spicy romance, female desire, marriage, perimenopause, intimacy, addiction, women's mental health, building a business, handling hate, and why women over 30 don't wait until page 80 for anything anymore.
