The Track, The Trap and The Testimony | Monica's Story
🚨 New Episode Alert 🎙️
Monica’s story is a harrowing testament to survival, resilience, and the unbreakable human spirit. Growing up in a loving home, she still carried an invisible weight — a sense that something inside her was broken. That inner unrest led her to drugs by the age of 14, and what followed was a devastating spiral into addiction and human trafficking. Lured in to the lifestyle in her most vulnerable state, deep in the throws of addiction, she couldn't have begun to fathom what she was in for. From being locked inside a chest before escaping, to nearly killed by a John. And that's not even the half of it. But Monica lived. And she fought like hell to reclaim her life.
Now, with 9 years clean, Monica is not just surviving — she’s serving. She works in a mental health facility, is married, and has rebuilt beautiful relationships with the family who once almost gave up on her. Her voice is one of strength, redemption, and fierce hope. This episode is raw, powerful, and unforgettable. You don’t want to miss it. 💔➡️💪 #StraitJacketPodcast #RecoveryWarrior #HumanTraffickingSurvivor #MentalHealthMatters #FromPainToPurpose
