It's Friday everyone! Today, trigger warning, this episode it's a heavy one but an important one!!
Ali has felt called to this space in her heart and has been getting LOUD about it on her social media platforms, as we are sure you have seen.
Today Ali had the honor to sit down with the Hero and The Man behind, OUR RESCUE.
What is OUR RESCUE?! It is Operation Underground Railroad, a nonprofit that fights against child sex slavery and Tim Ballard is the founder and CEO.
Tim Ballard began his career with the CIA and then spent over a decade working as a Special Agent for the Department of Homeland Security where he was deployed as an undercover operative. He has worked every type of case imaginable in the fight to dismantle child trafficking rings. He has worked undercover in the United States and in multiple foreign countries to infiltrate child trafficking organizations.
In 2013, Ballard and a team of former government operatives left their careers to go about the work of saving children as a private foundation.
Ballard has briefed the President of the United States and other cabinet members on issues of child trafficking. He has also testified before the US House and Senate on several occasions. In 2019 he was appointed by the President to chair the White House Public-Private Partnership Advisory Council to End Human Trafficking!!
Ballard has been featured on many national news outlets to discuss his efforts to combat child trafficking.
Today Ali and Tim sit down to discuss the realness of child and human trafficking, what's going on in our world and the USA!
Tim and Ali discuss the pain and heartbreak and horror of what trafficking is and all the types of slavery these children and people go through.
Tim shares his heart and his mission of starting OUR Rescue and why he left his government job to do the unimaginable.
Tim educates us on safety and how to be aware for our own children and others.
Tim gives us a glimpse of some of his missions and rescues that have happened in his career.
Tim shares hard stats and facts about the hundreds of thousands of children and millions of people that go missing into this sick business every year.
That's right, it's the #1 business for making money in our world, SEX TRAFFICKING!
Ali and Tim also discuss his newest project that will be available for the public to watch and see soon, Sound of Freedom.
Today let us listen with our hearts, open our minds, and truly feel our souls as we go deep into this heavy topic and reality that's happening all around us.
Ignorance is not bliss, and we all need to Wake UP for the children! LETS GET LOUD!!

What's the Hype with Blue Light?! Looking past the Trend and Talking Benefits of Blue Light & Why BluBlox w/ Founder & Ceo Andy Mant
Happy Monday loves!!
Hope everyone had a beautiful weekend and got outside and enjoyed it!
Today I am stoked to have back Andy Mant the Ceo of my FAVE Bluelight glasses, BLUBLOX!!
You guys literally see me wearing these all the time on my social media and always talking about them and I've gotten so many questions about them so I wanted to have Andy back to chat more and talk light hygiene and why bluelight protection especially right now with us all being home way more is so important. We are all sick of zoom meetings, social media constant scrolling and more, I know! Same here!!
So Andy shares some healthy ways we can really take care of ourselves always, but especially in this time and WHY BluBlox is SO AMAZING
We talk light hygiene ( that's a real thing), all the benefits of blocking blue light from our body, diets, hormones, natural rhythms and so much more!
Andy also gets deep and shares how our ancestors had all this right and then we screwed it all up! Haha! No but really like we went from a society that didn't have any of this technology or blue light to it massively being in our faces and consuming us, and it's a problem for our health and mind!
Andy shares simple ways to improve your light health & hygiene, digital strain, and seriously just everything we need to know with Blue light!
Andy and Ali talk wellness, why this is SO much more than a Trend and needs to become part of our every day lifestyle and habits
Andy shares the amazing new products coming down the line, not just glasses, light bulbs, eye masks, and more!
If you haven't checked out BLUBLOX yet you're missing OUT!! I wear mine every day, so does my hubby Justin and now my father in law is HOOKED!!
