Courage is Contagious: Voices Uniting Against Human Trafficking
Synopsis: Teresa Velardi sits down with author Andi Buerger and contributing authors Lisa Babbage, Chris Meek, and Eric Caron to discuss the powerful new book, Voices Against Trafficking: Courage is Contagious – Uniting Voices and Nations in the War Against Human Slavery.
At a time when true heroes can seem scarce, Voices Against Trafficking brings together extraordinary accounts from ordinary people who refused to look away in the face of injustice. These first-hand narratives spotlight individuals who saw something, said something, and took action—changing the course of lives forever. The stories remind us that the courage of a single person can create ripples of hope that reach across communities and even nations.
Andi Buerger, a survivor of brutal child sex trafficking, shares her journey from victim to internationally recognized advocate who has rescued hundreds of at-risk teens through her nonprofit work. Lisa Babbage brings her expertise as an educator, nonprofit leader, and survivor of abuse, working to restore dignity to women and children. Chris Meek, co-founder of SoldierStrong, combines lessons on leadership, resilience, and humanitarian service from decades of working with U.S. veterans and global causes. Eric Caron, a decorated former U.S. Special Agent, offers a law enforcement and national security perspective on dismantling trafficking networks and rescuing victims.
Together, they discuss the harsh realities of human trafficking, the systemic challenges in combating it, and the urgent need to unite voices from all walks of life in this fight. This compelling conversation will challenge listeners to confront the uncomfortable truth about modern-day slavery—and inspire them to believe that courage truly is contagious.

Life After Betrayal: A Client’s Real Story of Infidelity, Boundaries & Healing
“I deserve to be adored. I deserve to be cherished. I also deserve to not have to wonder if something is going on. That’s my boundary — and that brings me peace.”  – Eve
When betrayal shatters your world, the path forward can feel impossible to find. In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with one of my amazing clients, Eve, who bravely shares her journey through infidelity, devastation, and the long road back to herself.

Whether you’re in the thick of betrayal or wondering what’s possible for you on the other side, Eve’s courage will give you hope, clarity, and the reassurance that you are not alone.
Top 3 Takeaways:
You’re not crazy, you’re not alone. Hearing another woman’s real story can dissolve shame and remind you that your feelings are normal and valid.

Healing is built step by step. Small choices and daily practices of self-trust add up to powerful transformation over time.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #635 is an hour of visionary acoustic improvised music played by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, double flute, nylon string guitar, acoustic guitar, kalimba and ukulele, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on congas and Native drum. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in late August of 2025, today’s show begins with the rocking extended minor blues of “Standing Ones Of Peace”, a powerful prayer to the great trees of the Northeast featuring scorching work from the ensemble with Mariam’s fine vocal supported by her tight ukulele as well as busy, riffing, peppery blues piano from Bob and Craig’s heartbeat Native drum. “Arise” is a beautiful, energetic folk song from the “Release” album with skipping ukulele, dancing piano and groovy congas framing Mariam’s upbeat soprano melody and “Spirit Of The Forest” from the “Vision Quest” album begins as a reverent, open prayer and gradually coalesces into a driving, powerful, melodic ode to the forest. For the spacious, compelling coda Mariam plays her new double flute, an instrument that creates two flute notes and an overtone, resulting in lush, rich harmonies. “The Black Moon” is a hypnotic ballad interspersed with powerful Native flute passages and a languid, beautiful melody from Mariam and “Bestowing Blessings” is as driving, powerful anthem with fine piano soloing work from Bob and tight accompaniment from the ensemble for Mariam’s powerful, expressive vocal. “Twin Flame” from the “Smooth Sailin’ Love Songs” LP is a mystical, reverent song with a classical vibe and another fine vocal from Mariam. The epic “Holding Our Voices” closes today’s show with an extended journey through a summer day featuring Native flute fanfares that cascade through various harmonic tendrils explored and evolved by Bob’s restless piano.
