Jennisue and Daniel include a trigger warning in their podcast because some of the story is very painful to hear.

The Art of Healing is a podcast series born out of a deep desire to shed light on the complexities of trauma, the process of healing, and the importance of community. Each episode delves into different aspects of these themes, providing insights, practical advice, and heartfelt stories that aim to inspire and empower listeners to create a more just world. The podcast is hosted by Daniel Clary, a documentarian, and Jennisue Jessen, a survivor of sex trafficking.

Daniel Clary and Jennisue Jessen met in 2023 while filming a documentary on sex trafficking. Despite their different backgrounds, they quickly found a shared vision of justice and healing. Jennisue, a survivor leader who escaped the sex trade at seventeen, has dedicated over two decades to counter-trafficking work. As a former member of the US Advisory Council and founder of Compass 31, she has transformed her trauma into advocacy, providing profound insights into trauma and recovery. Together, they bring a powerful perspective to their podcast, aiming to create a compassionate world where every individual is seen and valued.

Daniel, at just 25 years old, complements Jennisue’s depth with his dynamic energy as a documentary filmmaker and humanitarian. He has served communities around the world—from Greece and Ireland to Tijuana and the US—driven by a mission to share stories that foster empathy and awareness.

Sex trafficking is often misunderstood and surrounded by misconceptions. Jennisue and Daniel believe that projects like The Art of Healing are vital for fostering a more just and trauma- informed world. Their podcast aims to uplift survivors of trauma and empower the public, highlighting that compassion is the first step in making a difference. They explore Jennisue’s life story, the concept of being trauma-informed, and tackle polarizing issues like pornography and the internet, while also addressing universally human themes such as love, community, and mortality. Their unique approach leaves listeners feeling uplifted and hopeful.
