And as I watched this, I immediately saw the analogy – this is exactly what happens to so many women who are trying to lose weight. They’re

Today’s episode is a bit different from my usual content. My guest, Sinead Finnegan from International Justice Mission, explains human trafficking and modern-day slavery.
