Sarah Taylor's Triumph Over Trauma: A Journey of Survival and Healing

I heard this lady's voice say to me while he was shoving me: if you get in that car, you're going to die.
Sarah Taylor’s story is a powerful reminder of human resilience. In this gripping episode of 'Rebuilding the Beast', hosted by NBA champion Festus Ezeli, Sarah opens up about her harrowing experience of surviving an attempted human trafficking abduction. Imagine going for a morning run and being suddenly attacked, tasered, and nearly shoved into a car. That’s exactly what happened to Sarah, but she fought back, drawing strength from a story she once saw on Oprah.
Her instincts kicked in, and she managed to escape, thanks to what she calls a 'guardian angel' who drove by at just the right moment and got her to safety. But the ordeal didn’t end there. Sarah talks candidly about the mental and emotional scars left behind, the constant 'what if' scenarios playing in her mind, and how she visualized her attacker in places he wasn’t.
Through the support of her church and a dedicated therapist, she began her journey toward healing. Now a sports psychologist, Sarah uses her story to inspire others facing their own battles. She shares how she found forgiveness and closure, turning her traumatic experience into a mission to raise awareness about human trafficking. This episode isn’t just about survival; it’s about finding hope and reclaiming your life after trauma.
Tune in to hear Sarah’s incredible journey and discover how you, too, can find strength in the darkest of times.
