🔥 How Changing Spaces—Internally and Externally—Can Break Cycles of Abuse
Fire Forged Leader Podcast | Hosted by Steve Baumgartner

What if healing could start with a tattoo machine—or a redesigned bedroom?

In Week 5 of the Step Into the Fray Human Exploitation/Trafficking Series, we featured two powerful voices who are changing lives by transforming environments—both internal and external—for survivors of trauma.

💥 In This Episode, You’ll Hear:

✅ A recap of Jessica’s mission to erase the marks of exploitation through tattoo removal and transformation
✅ The national impact of her network of tattoo artists & removal specialists helping survivors, former gang members, and those overcoming self-harm
✅ Jessica’s insight into trafficking iconography and tattoo symbolism, plus her work as an expert witness and peer support counselor
✅ A look at Susie Vybiral’s Room Redux, which transforms bedrooms for children who have endured sexual and/or physical abuse—in just one day
✅ The emotional and psychological power of environmental healing to change the trajectory of a child’s life
✅ How both women are breaking generational cycles through creativity, compassion, and community

“Tattoos once marked people as property. We help rewrite their story.” – Jessica“Change the room, and you change the life.” – Susie Vybiral
