“Trauma to Triumph and the Limitless Potential of Love”

with Lauri Burns, Founder of TheTeenProject



In this episode we welcome SUPER HERO Lauri Burns, Author of “Punished for Purpose” and Founder of TheTeenProject.com and Vera’s Sanctuary, the only licensed Residential Drug Treatment site in Orange County, CA dedicated to victims of Human Trafficking. Our aim is to shine the light on what one woman is doing to transform the lives of young women who have been victims of human trafficking and hear how she teaches others to start non-profit organizations for at-risk youth and foster kids. Lauri has dedicated much of her adult life to helping those in need after growing up in the foster care system because of the abuse and trauma she experienced in her childhood. She grew up in group homes, was addicted to drugs and was a victim of human trafficking herself after aging out of foster care and living on the streets. She turned her life around and now shows how the power of LOVE can help heal.
