In this jaw-dropping episode of the Truth Hurts Show, Brian Goldstein sits down with Jennelle Gordon, a survivor, healer, and tantra expert whose life journey sounds like a movie script. From being trafficked in Las Vegas for a decade to faking her own death to escape her pimp, she shares the darkest chapters of her life and the powerful transformation that followed.

She opens up about growing up in a cult-like Mormon missionary family, surviving the foster system, abuse, and manipulation — and how all of it led her to a path of radical healing and spiritual mastery through tantra. Now, she helps men and women around the world reclaim their sexual energy, deepen intimacy, and rewire their trauma at its root.

This episode is raw, real, and deeply uncomfortable at times — but it will shift how you view trauma, sex, healing, and even the nonprofit world.

🔑 Topics Covered:

- Her journey from the military to being trafficked in Vegas

- The shocking truth about how pimps manipulate vulnerable women

- Why she faked her own death to escape

- The truth about anti-trafficking nonprofits & their dark side

- What semen retention REALLY does for men (and their money)

- How sexual energy can be used to heal trauma and connect with God

- Why most people never experience real pleasure — and how to change that

If you're ready for a conversation that pulls zero punches, this one’s for you.

What if Botox, fillers, and laser treatments were just band-aids—and the real secret to healing and anti-aging was inside your body all along?

In this powerful episode of the Truth Hurts Show, Brian and Makan sit down with Dawne Russell, a former Canadian medical aesthetics clinic owner who left her 7-figure business to pursue a life-changing path in Costa Rica.

From ayahuasca ceremonies to working inside a Costa Rican stem cell clinic, Dawn shares raw insights on:

- Why Botox and fillers only work short-term

- The shocking truth about PRP, lasers, and CoolSculpting

- How stem cells actually reduce inflammation and heal the body from the inside out

- Her journey through burnout, ayahuasca, and rediscovering real health

- Why lifestyle—sleep, diet, breathwork, and mindset—matters more than anything sold in a clinic

This conversation dives deep into the future of anti-aging, longevity, and true wellness. Whether you’re curious about stem cells, skeptical of the aesthetics industry, or searching for real answers about health, you won’t want to miss this one.
