In this powerful episode of the Freedom Challenge Online Podcast, our host Tracy Daugherty sits down with Stacey Enmeier, Director of the I-5 Freedom Network, for a heartfelt and eye-opening conversation. Together, they explore Stacey’s 20-year journey through nonprofit work, her divine calling into anti-trafficking advocacy, and the transformative mission of I-5 Freedom Network.

From educating youth on the dangers of “boyfriending” and sextortion to empowering survivors—now called “lived experience experts”—with tools to reclaim their futures, this episode is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the importance of community-led change. With stories of resilience, faith, and fierce compassion, listeners are invited to see the unseen, trust their instincts, and join the fight against modern-day slavery—right in their own neighborhoods.
