In Season 2, episode 3 of Building Pathways to Healthy Minds, host Priscilla Bagley speaks with Missie Hills—engineer, mom of two, ChildBuilders Board Member, and leader with RedM, a global, volunteer-led movement fighting human trafficking.

Missie shares how her professional skills and personal experiences fuel her advocacy for children and families. Together, she and Priscilla explore how parents can protect kids from trafficking by teaching assertiveness, reinforcing body autonomy, and fostering open communication at home. They also discuss grooming tactics traffickers use, the warning signs to look for, and the importance of building trust so children feel safe speaking up.

This eye-opening and hopeful conversation reminds us that every parent, caregiver, and community member has the power to help children grow up safe, confident, and resilient.
