In the second half of my time with Elizabeth Smart, she shares the WORST thing that has ever been said to her..and, sadly, it was on a DATE!! She also talks about how one of her captors is out of prison and I asked if she ever worries that Wanda Barzee will show up at her door. Elizabeth is brave, strong, and the perfect example of human perseverance. How lucky I feel to have gotten to know her a bit.…

What an absolute honor it was to sit down and get to know this incredible survivor, who most of us remember as the 14 year old from Utah who was kidnapped from her bedroom at knifepoint in 2002. We watched her family, (who could forget her Dad?!) ask over and over on national TV for her safe return. 9 MONTHS later, she was home. It could have ended there. She had every right to keep the entire rest of her life-private-as many would have chosen to do after what she survived. But she didn't. Inspired by a father who wanted to help find as many missing children as possible, she grew into taking her thrown-in-the-spotlight name to follow his lead, creating the Elizabeth Smart Foundation in 2011. In part 1 of my 2 episode conversation with Elizabeth, you'll learn how she outsmarted her captors, leading them to bring her back to Utah from California, where shortly after, she was rescued. You'll also hear how that 'rescue' started as anything but relief!! Her life has been anything but ordinary, and at 15, she saw what we all did, but firsthand. Miracles happen. The world is a better place with Elizabeth Smart in it.…
