Episode 39: Edee’s Story: From Addiction to Recovery to Helping and Housing Survivors of Human Trafficking

Edee Franklin

Edee Franklin is a survivor, advocate, and entrepreneur whose life is a powerful testament to redemption and purpose. After battling heroin addiction for many years, Edee found freedom and lasting recovery — and transformed her pain into purpose.

Edee is the founder of Sanctum House, a safe home for adult survivors of human trafficking. Sanctum House provides long-term residential care, trauma-informed therapy, education, job readiness support, and holistic programming — offering women not just a safe place to land, but a real opportunity to heal and thrive. Though Edee is no longer leading the organization day-to-day, her vision continues to impact countless lives through the ongoing work of Sanctum House.

Today, Edee empowers others in a new way through her work in real estate. As a real estate professional, she is passionate about helping individuals and families find stability, build wealth, and create spaces to call home. Through both her advocacy and her business, Edee continues to uplift women and inspire others with her story of resilience, courage, and transformation.
