Unfiltered Stories is a survivor-focused podcast that provides a platform for individuals to share their personal experiences of trauma, abuse, violence, exploitation, loss, and recovery. The show’s mission is to break the silence surrounding difficult life experiences by allowing guests to tell their stories in their own words while highlighting resilience, healing, and personal growth.
Produced by Blue Foxes, the podcast features conversations with survivors from a wide range of backgrounds, including victims of child sexual abuse, child trafficking, domestic violence, cult abuse, grooming, family violence, and other forms of trauma. Episodes focus on both the impact of these experiences and the paths survivors have taken toward recovery and advocacy.
The podcast describes its purpose as creating a compassionate environment where survivors can speak openly about experiences that are often hidden by shame, fear, or stigma. Through these conversations, the show seeks to educate the public, raise awareness, and encourage understanding of trauma and its long-term effects.
Topics frequently explored on the show include:
* Child sexual abuse
* Child trafficking
* Grooming and coercive control
* Cult and religious abuse

The podcast has featured numerous survivors who share first-hand accounts of abuse, exploitation, institutional failures, and their journeys toward healing. Many episodes focus on giving survivors a voice and helping listeners better understand the realities of trauma and recovery.
Among its guests have been well-known survivor advocates, including Anneke Lucas, Katherine Ranta, and other survivors of child abuse, cult abuse, trafficking, and family violence.
