      Episode #21 - McKinzie
      Feb 17 2026

      In this episode of The Dr. Lois Lee Show, McKinzie shares how resilience, support, and intentional parenting helped her break a generational cycle of trauma and exploitation.

      As a child, McKinzie grew up in a chaotic home where boundaries were blurred and safety was uncertain. She describes how isolation, mental health struggles, and instability shaped her early years. Eventually, running from an unsafe environment led her into further harm.

      As a minor, she was located by the FBI and placed in a group home before being connected to Children of the Night. There, she experienced structure, consistent care, and the opportunity to begin understanding her mental health and her worth.

      McKinzie reflects on what it meant to feel like a child in a safe environment for the first time.

      Later, during a period of addiction, learning she was pregnant became a turning point. She chose sobriety. She built stability. She created a home of her own. Today, she is a devoted mother of two who is determined to parent differently than she was raised.

      Dr. Lois Lee also discusses the organization’s monthly parenting program, designed to help mothers protect their children — educating them without overwhelming them, creating safety without secrecy.

      McKinzie’s message to policymakers is direct: exploitation begins long before a child reaches the streets. Youth who are exploited are not disposable. They are capable, intelligent, and often desperately seeking a way out. Empathy, early intervention, and sustained support make the difference.

      Her story is one of interruption — of choosing a different legacy for her children.

      Episode #20 - Katie (Part 2/2)
      Feb 10 2026
      In Part 2 of Katie’s story, The Dr. Lois Lee Show explores how generational trauma develops — and what it takes to interrupt it. Katie shares her lived experience of exploitation and survival, offering a clear look at how cycles of harm are passed down when children grow up without protection, education, or consistent support. Her story underscores a critical truth: exploitation does not happen in isolation. It is rooted in neglect, abuse, poverty, and the absence of safe adults and stable systems. But just as trauma can repeat across generations, healing can too. Dr. Lois Lee reflects on how early intervention, education, and long-term mentorship change outcomes for exploited and at-risk youth. When children are believed, supported, and given access to learning, their trajectory can shift — not only for them, but for their children as well. How Education and Long-Term Support Make the Difference Since 2017, Children of the Night has no longer operated a residential shelter. Today, the organization focuses on the long-term needs survivors identify as most critical for stability and independence, including: •Online GED tutoring for youth pushed out of traditional schooling •Educational scholarships for survivors and, in some cases, their children •Ongoing advocacy, mentorship, and academic support that restores agency and opportunity Education is more than a credential. It is a pathway out of exploitation, a foundation for independence, and one of the strongest tools for preventing trauma from repeating across generations. Katie’s story is honest, difficult, and deeply important. It is also a testament to what becomes possible when society chooses sustained support over silence. Listener note: This episode discusses sensitive topics, including exploitation and trauma. Please take care while listening.

      Episode #19 - Katie (Part 1/2)
      Feb 3 2026

      Katie’s story shows how trauma can repeat across generations when systems fail to protect children early — and how long-term support can change that outcome.

      As a child, Katie experienced serious harm that went unaddressed. Years later, when her own child was hurt, she refused to let silence and fear take over. With advocacy and support from Children of the Night, Katie was able to protect her child and navigate an overwhelming moment that too many families face alone.

      Katie first connected with Children of the Night as a teenager after experiencing exploitation and violence. Through education, stability, and continued support — even after setbacks — she found her way forward.

      Today, Katie is a mother, a professional, and living proof that healing is possible when care doesn’t end at rescue. This episode explores how unhealed trauma often repeats itself — and how sustained, trauma-informed support can break the cycle for future generations.
