Summary

This week I am sitting down with an incredible woman, Becca Stevens, who is doing some world changing work in this world. Becca Stevens is the visionary behind Thistle Farms, a nonprofit social enterprise dedicated to helping women survivors recover and heal from prostitution, trafficking, and addiction. We do this by providing a safe place to live, a meaningful job, and a lifelong sisterhood of support. After experiencing the death of her father and subsequent child abuse when she was 5, Becca Stevens longed to open a sanctuary for survivors offering a loving community. Her humility and mission is inspiring, and its a lesson for all of us to see that helping one person at a time can change the world around us. -- Have you heard about the HOTLINE yet?
