Summary
In this episode of Unspoken, we welcome Shannon Sedgwick Davis. Shannon is CEO of the Bridgeway Foundation, a philanthropic organization dedicated to stopping mass atrocities, and an award-winning advocate for social justice and international human rights. Most recently, she is the author of To Stop a Warlord: My Story of Justice, Grace, and the Fight for Peace. This book powerfully tells the story of Shannon’s efforts to free Central Africa from the grip of violent rebel leader Joseph Kony and liberate his army of child soldiers.She previously served as the vice president of Geneva Global and director of public affairs at the International Justice Mission. She is an Advisory Council member of The Elders, the group of global statesmen founded by Nelson Mandela, and a board member of several organizations, including Humanity United and charity: water.
It's our deep privilege to share Shannon's story on the podcast, having walked through unthinkable circumstances in pursuit of justice for unprotected people around the world. This episode is also very special because we hosted a LIVE recording at Parnassus Books here in Nashville for this one! So many dear friends and family showed up to support and we could not have been more grateful. The evening was one we’ll never forget, and it’s our sincere hope that her message hits home for you as you listen wherever you are!

| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's Miles here. And before the show starts, many of you have been curious about the work that I get to be a part of at OnSight. And so I just wanted to give you a glimpse into who we are. OnSight is known as a worldwide leader in the personal growth and therapeutic workshop space. We're just fortunate to work with an incredible team that creates life-changing experiences that assist individuals and |
| 0:21.8 | families and couples into becoming more self-aware, empathetic, compassionate, and resilient. |
| 0:27.0 | And just overall raising our emotional intelligence so that we can become better versions of |
| 0:30.8 | ourselves and enhance our relationships. |
| 0:33.1 | So whether you're feeling burnout or life just seems a little out of balance or whether you're |
| 0:37.2 | trying to overcome some adverse circumstances that you experienced along the way, |
| 0:40.8 | we've got some really cool workshops that we offer year-round that we'd love for you to learn more about. |
| 0:46.5 | And we also help stay plugged in and get you resourced for counseling and other great resources in your area as well. |
| 0:52.3 | If you want to know more about us, check out onsiteworkshops.com or you can find us on our |

| 1:18.3 | And so I took some heat on that, and it's interesting because a lot of times I can take heed, |
| 1:24.1 | and if I know it's not true, right, I can just sort of reject it and move forward. |
| 1:29.1 | I think being a mother is so, it's such an incredibly vulnerable responsibility. |
| 1:35.3 | And so you actually just are going to be a little insecure about it all the time. |
| 1:46.4 | Hey guys, I'm Miles. |
| 1:47.5 | And I'm Ruthie. |
| 1:55.1 | And welcome to the unspoken podcast, where we believe that saying the unsaid may be the hardest, but one of the most important things we can ever do. |
