In this deeply moving episode of Bulldog and Friends, guest host Alan Smyth continues the special Saving Innocence series with two of the organization's longest-serving frontline heroes: Sara & Jasmine. With over a decade of experience in the anti-human trafficking space, they open up about the raw, complicated, and courageous work of advocating for and walking alongside survivors—especially children.

From their earliest days at Saving Innocence to now training law enforcement and working at every level of crisis response, Sara and Jasmine bring unmatched wisdom, humor, and heart. They discuss what it takes to sit in the darkest rooms with young people and offer light, how they manage the emotional toll of their work, and the deep friendships that have helped them endure.

This episode is not only an eye-opening look into the child welfare and justice systems—it’s also a testament to the power of resilience, community, and choosing to show up every day for those who need it most.

Highlights include:

The emotional weight of crisis response—and what sustains them
Navigating moments of trauma, burnout, and breakthrough
How relationships with clients shape their purpose
Training law enforcement to see survivors through a trauma-informed lens
What they wish everyone knew about trafficking, systems, and the human spirit
