Brandon and Breanna's bio:

Breanna started Red Light Rebellion in 2010 during her senior year of high school after learning that her age group was the primary target for sex trafficking. Since then, she has served in aftercare programs for survivors both in the United States and Cambodia, as well as developed digital and live education programs resulting in direct prevention to sex trafficking.

After marrying Breanna in 2013, Brandon joined Red Light Rebellion to leverage his story of battling a 15+ year porn addiction and create a dynamic demand prevention program to help others break free and prevent the next generation of buyers of sexual exploitation. Together Brandon and Breanna are a dynamic force, not only providing powerful awareness information, but entertaining the 77,000+ people RLR has reached with over 2,900 high-energy, multimedia and interactive live presentations.

Vanessa's Bio:

"I draw on my background in parenting, business, education, and coaching to inspire people to see things in new ways that totally shift their energy, actions and results. I am often told by my clients that I have made the most impact in their lives in the shortest amount of time-- after they had already tried everything else. 

 My ability to show families how to bridge communication gaps and to truly understand each other is my greatest strength. I speak everyone's language and can easily translate between family members who have a love for each other, but who have lost their ability to connect and to work as a team. I come into families' homes and easily create a safe environment for everyone to talk and to also be truly heard by each other. 

 I love to show parents how to create healthy relationships with their teenagers and young adults, and ultimately, with themselves. I want the parents to get to be the first person their kids turn to when they need a trusted adult, not the last. My one-on-one work with teenagers and young adults is efficient and effective, creating motivation and results beyond what is normally possible via traditional methods. 

 I attended Arizona State University, where I earned my BS in Business, Supply Chain Management, Barrett Honors College, 2000. I also earned my Post Baccalaureate in Secondary Education from ASU and studied graduate-level courses in Applied Communications from NAU. I taught high school and community college level courses and found my passion for teaching and inspiring others. She has led dozens of large groups of parents and teens and coached hundreds of people of all ages to get impactful results that changed the trajectory of their lives. 

 I raised five kids whom I had with my first spouse, as a stay-at-home/homeschooling mom. We took in two more kids when they were teens after they lost their parents in a tragedy. I divorced after 15 years, remarried, and had another child. After one more divorce, I finally learned to understand myself and my needs for peace and a healthy environment. She has learned "the hard way" about boundaries, self-love, alignment, acceptance, and faith. 

 My casual style is my secret to getting anyone to open up and to feel comfortable making new ideas and taking new actions. Nothing formal, clinical, or judgy here."

Worden's Four Tasks of Mourning:

1. Accept the reality of the loss: 

This involves acknowledging that the loss has occurred and that the person is physically gone. It can be a difficult task, as some denial may initially be present. 

2. Process the pain of grief: 

This involves experiencing and working through the emotional, cognitive, physical, and spiritual pain associated with the loss. Avoiding or suppressing grief can be detrimental. 

3. Adjust to a world without the deceased: 

This task involves adapting to a new reality where the deceased is no longer present, taking on new roles and responsibilities, and potentially redefining one's identity. 

4. Find an enduring connection with the deceased while building a new life: 

This task acknowledges that while the loss is permanent, the relationship with the deceased can continue in a different way, and one can still find meaning and purpose in life. It involves finding ways to honor the memory of the deceased while also moving forward and creating a new life.
