Even the toughest experiences offer the most valuable lessons and can lead to profound transformation. For today’s guest, survivor educator Annette Mango, her journey from adversity to advocacy epitomizes this truth. - In this episode, Annette shares her harrowing experience as a victim of sex trafficking, struggles with substance abuse, and periods of homelessness. Coming from a family of functional addicts and strained relationships with her parents, her childhood and adolescence lacked the support needed to avoid the cycle of abuse and addiction. - Annette’s life took a pivotal turn when she joined the Renee Jones Empowerment Center and discovered the power of these simple words: What do you need? How can I help you? - The invaluable support she received there led her on a journey of self-discovery, and now she’s an advocate for others, sharing her story and inspiring fellow survivors in her own recovery process. - Tune in now to hear Annette’s story! - You can reach out to Annette through email at [email protected] Purchase Vanishing Fathers 100% of the proceeds go to charity that help at-risk youths Connect with Jamie at Truman Charities: Facebook Instagram LinkedIn Website YouTube Email: [email protected] This episode was post produced by Podcast Boutique https://podcastboutique.com/
