Bloom w Nic and Kate Ep. 67&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;&lt;p&gt;In this episode, we sit down with Charles Martin, author of The Letter Keeper series a fictional series deeply rooted in the real stories of human trafficking survivors.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Charles shares his journey to becoming an author and the heart behind writing stories that confront some of the darkest realities in our world. We talk about writing as a way to process emotion, grief, and truth, and why storytelling matters in the fight against human trafficking.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;This conversation explores how traffickers operate as emotional terrorists, why s*x trafficking happens everywhere (not just \\u201csomewhere else\\u201d), and why it is more prevalent than drug trafficking \\u2014 because a drug can only be sold once, but a person can be sold again and again.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;We also discuss sacrificial love, the kind of love that sees suffering, refuses to look away, and chooses to step into the brokenness for the sake of others.&lt;br \\\/&gt;This episode is honest, heavy at times, and deeply human, a reminder that stories have the power to awaken compassion, confront injustice, and invite healing.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Charles\\u2019 Links:&lt;br \\\/&gt;Website: https:\\\/\\\/www.charlesmartinbooks.com\\\/\\u00a0&lt;br \\\/&gt;Buy his books: https:\\\/\\\/www.amazon.ca\\\/stores\\\/author\\\/B001IGQLBC\\u00a0&lt;br \\\/&gt;Facebook: https:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/author.charles.martin\\\/\\u00a0&lt;br \\\/&gt;X: https:\\\/\\\/x.com\\\/storiedcareer?lang=en&lt;br \\\/&gt;Instagram: https:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/storiedcareer\\\/\\u00a0&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=\\&quot;_blank\\&quot; href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.buzzsprout.com\\\/twilio\\\/text_messages\\\/2271729\\\/open_sms\\&quot;&gt;Send us a Text!&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel=\\&quot;payment\\&quot; href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.buzzsprout.com\\\/2271729\\\/support\\&quot;&gt;Support the show&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Make sure to connect with us on social media!&lt;br \\\/&gt;-Instagram: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial\\\/&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial\\\/&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;br \\\/&gt;-Facebook: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;br \\\/&gt;-TikTok: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.tiktok.com\\\/@lumaandbloomofficial?lang=en&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.tiktok.com\\\/@lumaandbloomofficial?lang=en&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;br \\\/&gt;-YouTube: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/channel\\\/UC5NCqdBqwaEckV3gNQ6IZeg&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/channel\\\/UC5NCqdBqwaEckV3gNQ6IZeg&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;To learn more about the Joy Smith Foundation, and to support our podcast, visit:&lt;br \\\/&gt;&lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/joysmithfoundation.com\\\/&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/joysmithfoundation.com\\\/&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Music: The Light from Within by Howard Harper-Barnes&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Thank you so much for listening!\\u2728&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Disclaimer: the views, thoughts, and opinions expressed by guests on &lt;em&gt;Luma and Bloom&lt;\\\/em&gt; are solely those of the individuals speaking and do not necessarily reflect the views, opinions, or official positions of the Joy Smith Foundation or the hosts of this podcast.

Andrea\\u2019s evidence-based research and lived experience offer a crucial counter-narrative to the dominant ideology shaping today\\u2019s debates on sexual exploitation and pornography.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;This episode is a necessary listen for anyone engaged in anti-trafficking work, policy, advocacy, or cultural conversations about sexuality and exploitation.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Andrea\\u2019s Links:&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;X: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/x.com\\\/heinzsight2020?lang=en&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/x.com\\\/heinzsight2020?lang=en&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Her book &#8211; When Men Buy Sex: Who Really Pays?: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/a.co\\\/d\\\/5zu8LWh&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/a.co\\\/d\\\/5zu8LWh&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Book website: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.whenmenbuysex.ca\\\/&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.whenmenbuysex.ca\\\/&lt;\\\/a&gt;\\u00a0&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Her podcast: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/redlightexpose.com&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/redlightexpose.com&lt;\\\/a&gt;\\u00a0&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u2018Sex Work\\u2019 Ideology as Cult-Like Thought Reform: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/theradicalnotion.org\\\/sex-work-ideology-as-cult-like-thought-reform\\\/&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/theradicalnotion.org\\\/sex-work-ideology-as-cult-like-thought-reform\\\/&lt;\\\/a&gt;\\u00a0&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Grace Hawthorne\\u2019s Blog: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/grace-notes.blog\\\/2019\\\/07\\\/31\\\/dear-men\\\/&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/grace-notes.blog\\\/2019\\\/07\\\/31\\\/dear-men\\\/&lt;\\\/a&gt;\\u00a0&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=\\&quot;_blank\\&quot; href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.buzzsprout.com\\\/twilio\\\/text_messages\\\/2271729\\\/open_sms\\&quot;&gt;Send us a Text!&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel=\\&quot;payment\\&quot; href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.buzzsprout.com\\\/2271729\\\/support\\&quot;&gt;Support the show&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Make sure to connect with us on social media!&lt;br \\\/&gt;-Instagram: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial\\\/&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial\\\/&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;br \\\/&gt;-Facebook: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;br \\\/&gt;-TikTok: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.tiktok.com\\\/@lumaandbloomofficial?lang=en&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.tiktok.com\\\/@lumaandbloomofficial?lang=en&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;br \\\/&gt;-YouTube: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/channel\\\/UC5NCqdBqwaEckV3gNQ6IZeg&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/channel\\\/UC5NCqdBqwaEckV3gNQ6IZeg&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;To learn more about the Joy Smith Foundation, and to support our podcast, visit:&lt;br \\\/&gt;&lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/joysmithfoundation.com\\\/&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/joysmithfoundation.com\\\/&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Music: The Light from Within by Howard Harper-Barnes&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Thank you so much for listening!\\u2728&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Disclaimer: the views, thoughts, and opinions expressed by guests on &lt;em&gt;Luma and Bloom&lt;\\\/em&gt; are solely those of the individuals speaking and do not necessarily reflect the views, opinions, or official positions of the Joy Smith Foundation or the hosts of this podcast.

Born in a Mennonite colony in Paraguay and later moving to Winnipeg, Jeffrey faced abuse and exposure to pornography at a very young age. To cope with his trauma he turned to alcohol, drugs, and the LGBTQ community, where he found people who shared his pain &#8211; but not the lasting healing he was searching for.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;In this episode of Luma &amp; Bloom, Jeffrey opens up about the tension he felt between identity and faith, the conviction of right and wrong he couldn&amp;apos;t escape, and the moment he finally discovered true freedom in Jesus. This conversation goes beyond religion &#8211; it&amp;apos;s about relationship, healing, and what it means to be fully seen, not as a sinner, but as a son.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=\\&quot;_blank\\&quot; href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.buzzsprout.com\\\/twilio\\\/text_messages\\\/2271729\\\/open_sms\\&quot;&gt;Send us a Text!&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel=\\&quot;payment\\&quot; href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.buzzsprout.com\\\/2271729\\\/support\\&quot;&gt;Support the show&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Make sure to connect with us on social media!&lt;br \\\/&gt;-Instagram: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial\\\/&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial\\\/&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;br \\\/&gt;-Facebook: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;br \\\/&gt;-TikTok: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.tiktok.com\\\/@lumaandbloomofficial?lang=en&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.tiktok.com\\\/@lumaandbloomofficial?lang=en&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;br \\\/&gt;-YouTube: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/channel\\\/UC5NCqdBqwaEckV3gNQ6IZeg&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/channel\\\/UC5NCqdBqwaEckV3gNQ6IZeg&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;To learn more about the Joy Smith Foundation, and to support our podcast, visit:&lt;br \\\/&gt;&lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/joysmithfoundation.com\\\/&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/joysmithfoundation.com\\\/&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Music: The Light from Within by Howard Harper-Barnes&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Thank you so much for listening!\\u2728&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Disclaimer: the views, thoughts, and opinions expressed by guests on &lt;em&gt;Luma and Bloom&lt;\\\/em&gt; are solely those of the individuals speaking and do not necessarily reflect the views, opinions, or official positions of the Joy Smith Foundation or the hosts of this podcast.

From childhood conditioning to the fear of rejection, we explore how people-pleasing often begins as a trauma response and morphs into much more.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=\\&quot;_blank\\&quot; href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.buzzsprout.com\\\/twilio\\\/text_messages\\\/2271729\\\/open_sms\\&quot;&gt;Send us a Text!&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel=\\&quot;payment\\&quot; href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.buzzsprout.com\\\/2271729\\\/support\\&quot;&gt;Support the show&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Make sure to connect with us on social media!&lt;br \\\/&gt;-Instagram: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial\\\/&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial\\\/&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;br \\\/&gt;-Facebook: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;br \\\/&gt;-TikTok: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.tiktok.com\\\/@lumaandbloomofficial?lang=en&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.tiktok.com\\\/@lumaandbloomofficial?lang=en&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;br \\\/&gt;-YouTube: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/channel\\\/UC5NCqdBqwaEckV3gNQ6IZeg&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/channel\\\/UC5NCqdBqwaEckV3gNQ6IZeg&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;To learn more about the Joy Smith Foundation, and to support our podcast, visit:&lt;br \\\/&gt;&lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/joysmithfoundation.com\\\/&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/joysmithfoundation.com\\\/&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Music: The Light from Within by Howard Harper-Barnes&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Thank you so much for listening!\\u2728&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Disclaimer: the views, thoughts, and opinions expressed by guests on &lt;em&gt;Luma and Bloom&lt;\\\/em&gt; are solely those of the individuals speaking and do not necessarily reflect the views, opinions, or official positions of the Joy Smith Foundation or the hosts of this podcast.

Dave talks about his transition from the military world to working with\\u2014and eventually for\\u2014the United Nations, and how he continually &#8221;grew his tool bag&#8221; to meet the challenges ahead.

They explore why it&amp;apos;s so hard\\u2014and so important\\u2014for men to talk about what they&amp;apos;re feeling, especially in a culture that often encourages silence. David shares early insights from his recent survey conducted through the University of Manitoba, which focuses on engaging men and boys in the fight against sexual exploitation and trafficking. Together, they unpack the impact of digital spaces on human connection, and how the ease of access to online sexual content and services is shaping harmful narratives around intimacy, desire, and exploitation. This is a timely and honest conversation about accountability, empathy, and how change can begin with courageous conversations.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u00a0&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;David\\u2019s preliminary survey findings can be found at the link below:&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/empowermen.ca\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/UofM-Interim-Research-Report-Mens-attitudes-sex-trade-Jan-2025_-edited.pdf&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/empowermen.ca\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/04\\\/UofM-Interim-Research-Report-Mens-attitudes-sex-trade-Jan-2025_-edited.pdf&lt;\\\/a&gt;\\u00a0&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=\\&quot;_blank\\&quot; href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.buzzsprout.com\\\/twilio\\\/text_messages\\\/2271729\\\/open_sms\\&quot;&gt;Send us a Text!&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel=\\&quot;payment\\&quot; href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.buzzsprout.com\\\/2271729\\\/support\\&quot;&gt;Support the show&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Make sure to connect with us on social media!&lt;br \\\/&gt;-Instagram: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial\\\/&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial\\\/&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;br \\\/&gt;-Facebook: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;br \\\/&gt;-TikTok: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.tiktok.com\\\/@lumaandbloomofficial?lang=en&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.tiktok.com\\\/@lumaandbloomofficial?lang=en&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;br \\\/&gt;-YouTube: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/channel\\\/UC5NCqdBqwaEckV3gNQ6IZeg&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/channel\\\/UC5NCqdBqwaEckV3gNQ6IZeg&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;To learn more about the Joy Smith Foundation, and to support our podcast, visit:&lt;br \\\/&gt;&lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/joysmithfoundation.com\\\/&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/joysmithfoundation.com\\\/&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Music: The Light from Within by Howard Harper-Barnes&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Thank you so much for listening!\\u2728&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Disclaimer: the views, thoughts, and opinions expressed by guests on &lt;em&gt;Luma and Bloom&lt;\\\/em&gt; are solely those of the individuals speaking and do not necessarily reflect the views, opinions, or official positions of the Joy Smith Foundation or the hosts of this podcast.

They explore the idea that boundaries aren\\u2019t walls to keep people out, but bridges that foster respect, safety, and real connection. From the baby steps it takes to start setting limits, to the deeper need for self-worth and humility, they unpack how receiving kindness can sometimes be harder than giving it. With wisdom from their own experiences, they remind us that true community means showing up for each other\\u2014and that starts with valuing ourselves enough to set healthy boundaries.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=\\&quot;_blank\\&quot; href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.buzzsprout.com\\\/twilio\\\/text_messages\\\/2271729\\\/open_sms\\&quot;&gt;Send us a Text!&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel=\\&quot;payment\\&quot; href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.buzzsprout.com\\\/2271729\\\/support\\&quot;&gt;Support the show&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Make sure to connect with us on social media!&lt;br \\\/&gt;-Instagram: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial\\\/&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial\\\/&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;br \\\/&gt;-Facebook: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/lumaandbloomofficial&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;br \\\/&gt;-TikTok: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.tiktok.com\\\/@lumaandbloomofficial?lang=en&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.tiktok.com\\\/@lumaandbloomofficial?lang=en&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;br \\\/&gt;-YouTube: &lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/channel\\\/UC5NCqdBqwaEckV3gNQ6IZeg&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/channel\\\/UC5NCqdBqwaEckV3gNQ6IZeg&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;To learn more about the Joy Smith Foundation, and to support our podcast, visit:&lt;br \\\/&gt;&lt;a href=&#039;https:\\\/\\\/joysmithfoundation.com\\\/&#039;&gt;https:\\\/\\\/joysmithfoundation.com\\\/&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Music: The Light from Within by Howard Harper-Barnes&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Thank you so much for listening!\\u2728&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Disclaimer: the views, thoughts, and opinions expressed by guests on &lt;em&gt;Luma and Bloom&lt;\\\/em&gt; are solely those of the individuals speaking and do not necessarily reflect the views, opinions, or official positions of the Joy Smith Foundation or the hosts of this podcast.

We talk about writing as a way to process emotion, grief, and truth, and why storytelling matters in the fight against human trafficking.<\/p><p>This conversation explores how traffickers operate as emotional terrorists, why s*x trafficking happens everywhere (not just \u201csomewhere else\u201d), and why it is more prevalent than drug trafficking \u2014 because a drug can only be sold once, but a person can be sold again and again.<\/p><p>We also discuss sacrificial love, the kind of love that sees suffering, refuses to look away, and chooses to step into the brokenness for the sake of others.<br \/>This episode is honest, heavy at times, and deeply human, a reminder that stories have the power to awaken compassion, confront injustice, and invite healing.<\/p><p>Charles\u2019 Links:<br \/>Website: https:\/\/www.charlesmartinbooks.com\/\u00a0<br \/>Buy his books: https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/stores\/author\/B001IGQLBC\u00a0<br \/>Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/author.charles.martin\/\u00a0<br \/>X: https:\/\/x.com\/storiedcareer?lang=en<br \/>Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/storiedcareer\/\u00a0<\/p><p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzsprout.com\/twilio\/text_messages\/2271729\/open_sms\">Send us a Text!<\/a><\/p><p><a rel=\"payment\" href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzsprout.com\/2271729\/support\">Support the show<\/a><\/p><p>Make sure to connect with us on social media!<br \/>-Instagram: <a href='https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lumaandbloomofficial\/'>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lumaandbloomofficial\/<\/a><br \/>-Facebook: <a href='https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lumaandbloomofficial'>https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lumaandbloomofficial<\/a><br \/>-TikTok: <a href='https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@lumaandbloomofficial?lang=en'>https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@lumaandbloomofficial?lang=en<\/a><br \/>-YouTube: <a href='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC5NCqdBqwaEckV3gNQ6IZeg'>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC5NCqdBqwaEckV3gNQ6IZeg<\/a><\/p><p>To learn more about the Joy Smith Foundation, and to support our podcast, visit:<br \/><a href='https:\/\/joysmithfoundation.com\/'>https:\/\/joysmithfoundation.com\/<\/a><\/p><p>Music: The Light from Within by Howard Harper-Barnes<\/p><p>Thank you so much for listening!\u2728<\/p><p><\/p><p>Disclaimer: the views, thoughts, and opinions expressed by guests on <em>Luma and Bloom<\/em> are solely those of the individuals speaking and do not necessarily reflect the views, opinions, or official positions of the Joy Smith Foundation or the hosts of this podcast.
