TAKE THIS PERSONALLY: Jessica Buchanan on Her Kidnapping, Captivity, & the Life That Followed
Jessica Buchanan was a schoolteacher from Ohio who followed a calling to serve overseas. That calling led her to East Africa, meaningful humanitarian work, and eventually into one of the most terrifying experiences imaginable. Jessica shares the full story of how she was kidnapped in Somalia, held hostage in the desert for 93 days, and ultimately rescued by SEAL Team Six. She opens up about the moments leading up to her capture, the role intuition tried to play, what captivity was really like, and how she survived mentally when survival felt impossible.
We also talk about the aftermath from PTSD, rebuilding identity, motherhood, faith, and what it means to “survive survival.”
