Welcome to The Cherished Lounge, where soul, story, and wild grace meet. Hosted by survivor leader, author, teacher, and Cherished founder Kate Ouimette-Wedell, The Cherished Lounge is a podcast dedicated to meaningful conversations about faith, purpose, resilience, leadership, and the stories that shape who we become. Each week, Kate welcomes survivors, advocates, attorneys, policymakers, authors, ministry leaders, and everyday people whose stories inspire hope, courage, and lasting change. Together, they explore topics including human trafficking, exploitation, recovery, healing, leadership, family, personal growth, and the power of finding purpose through life's most challenging moments. Whether you're seeking encouragement, authentic connection, or a deeper understanding of the human experience, you'll find thoughtful conversations that honor every story and remind us that hope is always possible.
