On this episode of the Intentional Leadership Podcast, we go deep with Aaron Newcomb, co-founder of Engedi Refuge, a holistic restoration program for survivors of sex trafficking. Aaron breaks down what most people miss: this isn’t a one-night safe bed problem — it’s complex trauma that requires long-term, whole-person care.   We unpack Engedi’s three-phase, ~18-month path: Phase 1 (safety and stabilization), Phase 2 (independent living skills, sober supports, work readiness), and Phase 3 (spiritual growth and peer mentoring). Aaron shares why distancing from traffickers, simplified phones, trauma-focused therapy, addiction support, and real-world structure matter, and how this approach delivers a 90% success rate (far above typical programs). We also compare costs (Engedi ≈ $7.5k/month vs. $30k–$56k/month alternatives) and discuss scaling this model community by community across the U.S.   Want to help? Fund Engedi’s work and fund training so other cities can launch their programs.   🔗 Learn more / donate: engedirefuge.com If this moved you, share it.
