Abuse doesn’t always hide in dark corners. Sometimes it lives in mansions, on private jets, and behind the reputations of powerful people. In this episode of The Shadow Sessions, Hiba Balfaqih speaks with Jena‑Lisa Jones, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein who was drawn into a system of grooming and manipulation long before the world began paying attention. This conversation goes beyond the headlines. It examines how power can become protection, how wealth and influence can silence accountability, and what it means to speak out when the systems around you are invested in maintaining silence. Jena‑Lisa shares her experience of survival, the psychological reality of grooming, and the cost of confronting abuse embedded within structures of power. This episode is about truth, courage, and the difficult work of exposing what systems of influence were designed to hide.
