    THE ONLINE GROOMER: The secret lives of gay teens being targeted on dating apps

    Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of child sexual abuse, nonconsensual distribution of child sexual abuse materials, grooming and eating disorders due to PTSD. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.  Where are the safe spaces for young gay teens to connect when community is non-existent at school? Why not the internet? Why not a dating app? Today, we’re highlighting the fact that predators search for minors on dating apps to exploit, coerce, and groom, especially in the gay community. These teens are often blackmailed to remain silent and live these secret lives of pain. The systems that are supposed to protect often don’t take these predators seriously or sweep this exploitation under the rug. In the end, the survivor is further harmed and silenced. Lisa welcomes Albert Flores a survivor, advocate, and storyteller passionate about creating safer spaces for vulnerable communities. Albert shares how they joined a dating app geared toward the LGBTQ community at 14 in the hopes of connecting with other local gay teens. Unfortunately, he found that local adult men sought him out instead. He was groomed by multiple men, even the older brother of a famous influencer family that created content geared toward children. When incidents of exploitation were made public, Albert’s school administration, local police force, friends, and even the app safety protocols woefully mishandled these situations. Albert has been on a journey processing the effects of their trauma and PTSD. Now, Albert uses his voice to raise awareness about online safety, survivor support, and mental health. What happened to Albert should have never been possible. We’re grateful for their courage to tell their story. This episode is all about education, prevention, and a call to action to hold these institutions and companies accountable so that teens can connect safely on the internet.  From now on, we will speak up for ourselves and say no.  Follow Albert @albertflrz on Instagram.  From Now On is produced by LA PHILLIPS MEDIA.

  2. THE IMPOSTER: A wolf in sheep’s clothing – betraying native heritage

    THE IMPOSTER: A wolf in sheep’s clothing – betraying native heritage

    Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of coercion, sexual assault, stalking, and predatory behavior.  Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself. What happens when someone claiming to be part of your community isn’t who they say they are? When they use culture as a mask, trust as a weapon, and deception as a means of control? Today, we’re confronting the historical cycle of submission, manipulation, and control—a cycle that predators exploit to their advantage. For generations, Indigenous communities have endured forced assimilation, systemic oppression, and silencing, conditioning many to submit to authority, to ignore red flags, and to stay silent in the face of abuse. But what happens when someone who claims to be a part of your community turns out to be a fraud? Lisa welcomes Chiffon Lark, an artist, advocate, and Indigenous woman who survived a calculated campaign of deception, coercion, and emotional abuse. What started as a promising connection quickly unraveled into something far more sinister. Chiffon was targeted by a man who fabricated his identity, infiltrated her community, and used trust as a weapon. From love bombing to gaslighting to financial control, his manipulation was relentless—but so was Chiffon’s resilience. This episode is about breaking free from cycles of submission, reclaiming power, and exposing imposters who hide behind culture, trust, and false promises. From now on… “I will execute my right to honor myself first so that I can honor my community.” About Chiffon Lark Chiffon Lark (b.1989) is a full time Artist/Illustrator in San Diego, CA. Her father is a member of the White Mountain Apache Tribe (b.1965 Texas) and her mother (b.1968 Arizona) is Mescalero Apache and Coahuiltecan descent.  She is an Indigenous advocate for environmental sovereignty for all Native People and Wildlife. Chiffon has worked with both non-indigenous and native-led organizations throughout the US that are dedicated to cultural conservation and climate preservation. Follow @chiffonlark on Instagram.

  3. THE TRAUMA BOND: The Dark Triad, abuse of power, and gaslighting

    THE TRAUMA BOND: The Dark Triad, abuse of power, and gaslighting

    Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of intimate partner violence, predatory behavior, and coercive control. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself. Why is it so hard to leave an abusive relationship? Why do survivors stay, even when the red flags are undeniable? The answer lies in one of the most powerful psychological traps—the trauma bond. Today, we’re diving deep into the dark triad—narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy—and how these personality traits drive manipulation, gaslighting, and coercive control. Abusers don’t just use physical violence; they weaponize charm, isolation, and intermittent reinforcement to keep victims emotionally tethered. And they don’t act alone—there’s an entire system of enablers ensuring their power remains intact. Lisa welcomes Dr. Nadine Macaluso, former model, therapist, and author of Run Like Hell: A Therapist’s Guide to Recognizing, Escaping, and Healing from Trauma Bonds. Known to many as “Dr. Nae,” she is the real-life inspiration behind Naomi Belfort’s character in The Wolf of Wall Street. After surviving an eight-year marriage to Jordan Belfort, marked by abuse, greed, and trauma, Dr. Nae turned her trauma into a mission—educating others on how to break free from toxic cycles and reclaim their power. In this episode, Lisa and Dr. Nae uncover the warning signs of trauma bonds, the psychological tricks abusers use to maintain control, and how survivors can break free. Survivors deserve more than just an escape—they deserve healing, empowerment, and the ability to write a new story on their own terms. This episode is about understanding, empowerment, and reclaiming your life. From Now On… don't self-abandon, don't self-sacrifice in the name of love.  About Dr. Nadine Macaluso:  Her journey of trauma and healing inspired her to return to school at age 39, where she earned her Master's in counseling and a Ph.D. in somatic psychotherapy. She further specialized with a two-year postdoctoral training in the Neuro-affective Relational Model (NARM). As a therapist, Dr. Macaluso combines her education and personal experiences to help others heal from trauma. Her practice focuses on assisting patients in connecting with their authentic selves, fostering confidence, resilience, and agency. Dr. Macaluso firmly believes in the potential for post-traumatic growth, instilling hope in her patients and guiding them to reach their potential in life and love.

    THE WHISTLEBLOWER: Hip hop & the Vegas “underground” economy

    Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of sexual assault and sex trafficking. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself. What happens when someone dares to expose the truth about an industry built on power, secrecy, and exploitation? How deep does the corruption go when trafficking, hip hop, and the Vegas elite collide? Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on the dark underbelly of the entertainment world—where money, influence, and exploitation intersect. Sex trafficking isn’t just happening in the shadows; it thrives in high-end hotels, VIP suites, and behind the flashing lights of Las Vegas. Those who profit from this underground economy aren’t just traffickers and pimps—they include law enforcement, media outlets, and powerful figures who choose silence over accountability. Lisa welcomes Brian Joseph, an investigative journalist and author of Vegas Concierge: Sex Trafficking, Hip Hop, and Corruption in America. Brian’s groundbreaking reporting reveals how the trafficking industry operates within elite circles, how law enforcement often turns a blind eye, and how survivors are left to fight for justice alone. Together, they explore the case of Mally Mall, a hip-hop producer and convicted trafficker, and discuss the disturbing ways the entertainment industry shields its own. This episode is about speaking truth to power, holding corrupt systems accountable, and standing with those who risk everything to expose the truth. From Now On… sex trafficking is a priority amongst American society to eliminate.  Follow Brian Joseph @vegasconciergebook on Instagram. @bjoseph1 and @vconciergebook on X.

    THE PEDOPHILE: Online Grooming, Sextortion, and Stolen Innocence

    Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of online predatory grooming, sextortion of a minor, and sexual assault of child. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself. What if the person you trusted online wasn’t who they claimed to be? What if a friendly conversation turned into manipulation, blackmail, and a nightmare you couldn’t escape? Today, we’re exposing the terrifying reality of online predators—how they groom, deceive, and exploit children in the digital age. Digital human trafficking and sextortion don’t always start with violence; they often begin with trust. Social media, gaming apps, and private messages have become hunting grounds for predators who hide behind screens, using manipulation to lure their victims into a dangerous trap. Lisa welcomes Summer Beach, a survivor and fierce advocate who was groomed, blackmailed, and ultimately assaulted by an online predator at just 12 years old. Summer courageously shares her story to shine a light on the hidden epidemic of online child exploitation and to empower young people and parents to recognize the warning signs before it’s too late. This episode is about breaking the silence, demanding accountability, and taking back power from those who prey on the most vulnerable.  From Now On… we will not wish bad things upon ourselves.  Follow Summer Beach @summerbeachglobal236.1 and @summerathebeach_xo on Instagram and @summerathebeach_xo on TikTok. Summer supports The Wolf Project Inc., a nonprofit combating online predators by reporting them to law enforcement. Summer also partners with Foundation RA raising awareness about various legislative initiatives combating online image-based sexual abuse, as well as a place for survivors to go when they need support or their abuse taken down off the internet.

    THE LINEBACKER: Lies, control and the illusion of security

    Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of a high-control abusive relationship, which includes psychological, financial, and emotional abuse. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself. When the person you trust the most is also the one who breaks you, how do you find your way back to yourself? What happens when love is used as a weapon, and security is just an illusion? Today, we’re exposing the hidden reality of emotional, psychological, and financial abuse behind closed doors—especially when the abuser is a powerful figure. The story of intimate partner violence in the NFL is more than just headlines; it’s a deeply rooted issue where fame and wealth often shield perpetrators while silencing survivors. Lisa welcomes Tori Darling, a mother, business owner, and the creator of the viral TikTok series Who the F Did I Almost Marry? NFL Edition. Tori takes us inside her relationship with a former NFL player, revealing the manipulation, deception, and financial control that kept her trapped. From love bombing to gaslighting to the moment she knew she had to escape, Tori shares her journey of survival and reclaiming her power. Together, Lisa and Tori discuss the complexities of healing, the challenges of leaving an abusive relationship when financial control is a weapon, and the power of speaking out despite the fear. Survivors deserve to be believed, supported, and empowered—not dismissed or shamed. This episode is about dismantling the illusion of security, recognizing the red flags, and standing with survivors who refuse to stay silent. From now on… pay attention to red flags and see them for exactly what they are. Follow Tori Darling @toridarlinglife on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. From Now On is produced by LA PHILLIPS MEDIA.

    THE DATING APP: Swiping into a Nightmare PT 2

    What happens when a survivor, still searching for love and normalcy, re-enters the same dating app that led to her trauma? In part two of our conversation, Lisa continues speaking with Jane Doe, an artist, tech professional, and survivor, as she shares what happened when she returned to the dating app many months after her assault—only to be matched with another predator. What began as an attempt to reclaim her autonomy quickly turned into a chilling realization: predators and traffickers use dating apps as a hunting ground, and the platform’s algorithm may have led her straight into another dangerous encounter. The professor from an elite school, with connections to many powerful and wealthy people, love-bombed her differently than her first match. Their relationship quickly escalated to her traveling many hours to an island. There, she was controlled – locked in a room, told when to eat, how to dress, when she could go outside, who she could work for, and more.  As time went on, threats to her safety became more apparent, and she escaped that relationship only to be met with professional stalking and intimidation. With the help of a trafficking resource center and family. Jane was able to relocate to an unknown location for her safety. Her life is forever changed by this abuse. Jane came on From Now On to educate others on the intersection of tech + exploitation through her own experiences. She wants to educate others on the complexities of sexual assault and human trafficking so that her own experiences can be utilized for good to help end exploitation, specifically as it relates to power imbalances and predatory playbooks. She believes if we collectively unpack and examine these playbooks and step away from the associated shame that wasn't ours to begin with, we can start to see they mostly utilize the same tactics. Healing isn't a linear journey so she uses her good days to help others impacted by harm. From Now On…she’s not going to hide. Thank you, Jane Doe. We are with you. Below are some resources Jane Doe recommends:  National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) – a nonprofit defending human dignity. Opposing sexual exploitation. Leading the movement through research, litigation, corporate and legislative policy. You can follow them @endexploitation on Instagram. Rights4Girls advocates for the dignity and rights of young women and girls so that every girl can be safe and live a life free of violence and exploitation.
