Episode Synopsis

In this deeply personal episode of the Say Yes Anyway Podcast, I open up about one of the most important and heartbreaking topics I’ve ever explored—human trafficking. As I record this episode from Thailand, a country known for both its beauty and its dark realities surrounding exploitation, I reflect on the journey that led me to dedicate my life to raising awareness and creating change.I share how my awakening to this issue began over 16 years ago in Seattle when I first learned about trafficking happening right in my own community. That discovery ignited a lifelong mission that has since taken me around the world—from Los Angeles to Thailand—working alongside organizations fighting for freedom and restoration.We explored:The global realities and human stories behind sex trafficking in Thailand and beyondThe emotional and psychological manipulation that keeps individuals trapped in exploitationThe power of compassion and radical love as tools for transformation and justiceMy experiences serving women on the streets of Los Angeles and what those encounters taught me about resilience and hopeThe heart behind Wholeness Journey and how it brings healing, identity, and community to survivorsWhy it’s time for all of us to step up, speak up, and become changemakers in our own waysThis episode is a call to action—to see, to care, and to do something. Change starts when we say yes to awareness and allow compassion to move us toward action. Together, we can create a ripple effect of hope and healing.It would mean the world if you can share this episode with a friend who’s ready to step into her zone of genius and create lasting transformation. One brave YES can change everything.If you liked it, download and share it with a friend or on social media and tag @jessdahl_. Follow along our impact work @wholenessjourney
