In this deeply moving and unflinchingly honest episode, Sam Troth opens up about his lived experience as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. His story is not just one of survival, but of resilience, advocacy and the relentless pursuit of justice. Sam takes us through the long shadow abuse has cast over his life—from its devastating impact on his mental health and relationships to his battles with addiction and the crushing failures of the justice system to protect victims and hold perpetrators accountable. This conversation is raw and necessary. It shines a light on the chilling reality that one in six boys and one in three girls will experience sexual abuse before the age of sixteen. Sam doesn’t shy away from the hard truths—about the predators who groom not just children but their communities, about the institutions that enabled abuse under the guise of care and about the silence that too often protects abusers more than it defends the innocent. But amidst the pain is power. Sam speaks with fierce clarity about the ripple effects of abuse—not only the personal toll it takes, but the way it echoes across families, generations, and entire communities. He shares how education, open conversation, and early body-safety awareness are vital tools in prevention. He also explores the journey from victim to advocate and how walking for awareness became a way to reclaim his voice and his healing. In one of the most powerful acts of advocacy, Sam is currently walking the length of New Zealand—from its northernmost tip to Parliament in Wellington—carrying with him a petition calling for a minimum eight-year sentence for sexual offending. It's a grueling and symbolic journey that amplifies the voices of countless survivors and demands that lawmakers take meaningful action to protect the most vulnerable. This isn’t just a walk—it’s a movement. This episode is a call to action. It challenges us to break the silence, to confront the systemic failures that perpetuate abuse and to recognize the staggering economic, emotional and societal costs of inaction. Through Sam’s powerful testimony, listeners are reminded that change begins with conversation—and that empowering survivors and holding space for their truth is the first step in building a safer world for all children. Trigger warning: This episode discusses themes of childhood sexual abuse, addiction, and trauma. Listener discretion is advised.

Why He Did What He Did: Life Trauma Led to Danger. At just 12 years old, Nate was sexually abused by someone his family knew. "I didn't even know what sex was at that time," he recalls. "I hadn't had the talk with my parents, and sex education wasn't even a thing in my school yet." Like many survivors, he was manipulated into silence. "The attacker told me it was normal, and he threatened me, told me not to tell anyone. So, I didn’t." Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. He shares the story on this episode of the "Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast", which is available on their website for free in addition to Apple Podcasts and Spotify, as well as through other podcast platforms. "I kept it buried for so long, but it affected everything, my choices, my safety, my entire world." These are the words of Nate Lewis, our guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. His story is one of survival, resilience, and a fight against the darkness that nearly consumed him. Read supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium, Newsbreak and Blogspot. The Hidden Trauma of Childhood Abuse, Why He Did What He Did: Life Trauma Led to Danger. For over two decades, Nate carried this secret, the trauma festering in silence. It wasn’t until his life started to spiral out of control that he finally told his mother. "I thought I had it under control, but in reality, it was controlling me. My relationships, my career, my choices, everything was affected." Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms The Tragic Reality of Child Sexual Abuse The statistics are staggering. More than 550,000 children are known to U.S. authorities as abuse victims. In 2022 alone, an estimated 558,899 unique cases of child abuse and neglect were reported. Child welfare agencies investigate over 7.5 million children annually, with nearly 3 million cases warranting further action. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. Child victims often remain silent for years, or even lifetimes, due to fear, shame, and the manipulation of their abusers. "Most abusers aren’t strangers," Nate explains. "Over 90% of victims know their perpetrators. It’s why so many children don’t speak up, they’re afraid, confused, and often still care about the person hurting them." The Dangerous Path of a Survivor, Why He Did What He Did: Life Trauma Led to Danger. Nate’s silence led to self-destructive behaviors. "I drank excessively. I put myself in dangerous situations because I didn’t care what happened to me." One of those moments nearly cost him his life. Check out the show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms "I was abducted at gunpoint during a gang initiation in Los Angeles," he recounts. "At that moment, I realized I had made myself an easy target." Trauma had led him there, to the brink of death. His ability to escape that life-threatening encounter changed everything. "It woke me up. I knew I had to take control of my life, face my past, and use my experiences to help others." From Survivor to Advocate, Why He Did What He Did: Life Trauma Led to Danger. Today, Nate Lewis is the Founder of The Innocent, a nonprofit dedicated to combating child sex trafficking, exploitation, and sexual assault in the U.S. His extensive work with law enforcement and global anti-trafficking organizations has made him a powerful advocate for change. It is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. "Survivors don’t have to be defined by their past," Nate emphasizes. "Yes, trauma changes you, but it doesn’t have to destroy you. It can shape you into someone stronger, someone who fights back." The Innocent team includes active-duty officers specializing in online investigations, surveillance, and undercover operations. "We provide law enforcement with cutting-edge training, technology, and operational support," Nate shares. "Our goal is to increase arrests, improve conviction rates, and ultimately, save lives." Breaking the Silence, Why He Did What He Did: Life Trauma Led to Danger. Nate’s story is a powerful reminder of the lasting effects of childhood trauma. "What happened to me led to years of self-destruction, but it also led me here, to fighting for justice, for prevention, for healing." By sharing his story on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Facebook, and Instagram, Nate hopes to reach others who are still suffering in silence. "If I can help even one person break free from their past, then it’s all worth it." If you or someone you know is a survivor of child sexual abuse, there is help. You are not alone.

Hosted by writers Emma Atkinson and Jordyn Reiland, RadioEd is a triweekly podcast created by the DU Newsroom that taps into the University of Denver's deep pool of bright brains to explore the most compelling and interesting research coming out of DU. See below for a transcript of this episode. This week, production assistant and DU graduate student Madeleine Lebovic steps in to host.  Show Notes When Hollywood paints a picture of childhood, it's often one of nostalgia-tinged wonder. Playing outside, moments of carefree innocence and the highs and lows of the adventure of self-discovery.   But this is not the childhood that everyone experiences. For many, childhood was a place of uncertainty and fear. And when those kids grow up to become parents, those hard realities can impact their own parenting. How can we break those cycles of intergenerational trauma? This week on RadioEd, Madeleine Lebovic chats with Associate Professor of Clinical Child Psychology Angela Narayan about the surprising science behind reflecting on positive childhood experiences – and how it can help parents counter childhood adversity.  Angela Narayan, PhD, LP, is an Associate Professor in the Clinical Child Psychology PhD Program in the Department of Psychology at the University of Denver (DU). She is also an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). She received her PhD in Clinical Child Psychology from the Institute of Child Development at the University of Minnesota and completed a predoctoral internship and post-doctoral fellowship in the Department of Psychiatry and Child Trauma Research Program at UCSF. Narayan directs a program of research that examines how childhood adversity and positive childhood experiences have enduring effects on development across adolescence, adulthood and parenthood. She is particularly interested in understanding intergenerational pathways of adversity, psychopathology, and resilience in populations with diverse backgrounds.  Narayan is a licensed clinical psychologist in Colorado and a clinical supervisor in the Center for Child and Family Psychology (CCFP) in the DU Department of Psychology. Her expertise is in trauma-informed therapies (e.g., Child-Parent Psychotherapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy) and relationship-based and parent-focused treatments (e.g., Parent Management Training, Interpersonal Psychotherapy). She also directs the DU Department of Psychology's PROTECT Lab where researchers study the intergenerational transmission of risk and resilience across families and generations. Links to different versions of the Benevolent Childhood Experiences scale, used to assess positive experiences in childhood, can be found under instruments. More Information: Positive childhood experiences predict less psychopathology and stress in pregnant women with childhood adversity: A pilot study of the benevolent childhood experiences (BCEs) scale by Angela Narayan et al. A multisystem, dimensional interplay of assets versus adversities: Revised benevolent childhood experiences (BCEs) in the context of childhood maltreatment, threat, and deprivation by Angela Narayan et al.  Relationship of Childhood Abuse and Household Dysfunction to Many of the Leading Causes of Death in Adults: The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study by Vincent J Felitti, MD, FACP et al.  Information on ACEs from the CDC

Could the Menendez brothers really walk free after all this time? The notorious duo, who shocked the nation in the 1990s, might just have a second chance at life due to newly uncovered evidence. With a court date looming in November, the possibility of freedom has sparked fresh interest in their story, highlighted by a recent documentary and a Netflix special. Rumors are swirling about more victims of their father, José Menendez, including allegations involving members of the famed boy band Menudo. These new claims seem to back up what the brothers have been saying all along, sparking questions about whether justice was fully served or if they were victims in their own right. Attorney Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to delve into the complexities of this case, discussing the evolution of societal views on abuse, the psychological impact of childhood trauma, and the Menendez brothers' chance of redemption. If they do get out, can they finally find some semblance of peace, or will they just become pawns in a media frenzy, cashing in on their twisted legacy?

Can childhood trauma unlock the doors to the spirit world? Join us next on Grief and Rebirth as Marilyn Whall, a spiritual medium and author, shares her story of overcoming loneliness, abuse, and despair to find a powerful connection to the spiritual. We'll delve into the vision in her mind's eye of a woman holding her hand upward and how that changed her life, how we know if our choices are coming from fear or from love, and discover what awaits our beloved pets after they pass on.

Here are the top five risk factors that make you prone to entering a trauma-bonded relationship:Insecure Attachment Style: Many of us, including you and me, might have an insecure attachment style, which can lead to difficult relationship patterns. Feeling unworthy of love, fearing rejection, and oscillating between wanting love and avoiding rejection are common issues. This insecurity can lead us to seek validation from unhealthy sources, reinforcing our feelings of unworthiness.Low Self-Esteem: Low self-worth often manifests in our inability to set boundaries and express needs. Boundaries are crucial for healthy relationships, but if you or I don't feel worthy, we might not enforce them, leading to a cycle of neglect and unmet needs. In toxic relationships, our self-esteem can plummet, causing us to neglect our own needs and boundaries.Achiever or Perfectionistic Traits: High achievers and perfectionists often have a strong inner critic and believe they must continuously prove their worth. This can attract partners with narcissistic tendencies who criticize and devalue us, reinforcing our inner doubts and pushing us into a cycle of trying to earn their approval.High Empathy and Sensitivity: If you're highly empathic or a people-pleaser, you might be at risk. You might overemphasize a partner's good traits, even if they treat you poorly most of the time. This overempathy leads you to make excuses for their behavior, seeing only the good and ignoring the bad. This can create a cycle of self-sacrifice, where you feel responsible for their happiness and overlook your own needs.History of Childhood Abuse or Neglect: Childhood trauma significantly impacts adult relationships. If you faced neglect, you might normalize this treatment and work harder to prove your worth in adulthood. If you experienced abuse, you might always walk on eggshells, aiming to please others and maintain peace. This makes it difficult to recognize and express your needs and emotions, leading to relationships that echo these harmful patterns.Recognizing these risk factors can help you heal and create healthier relationship patterns. It's important to ground yourself in your own worth and set clear boundaries. Your worth is infinite, and you deserve relationships that reflect that.

Today's show featured an interview with Jeff Giagnocavo, founder of The Big Ticket Life. JEFF'S TIP:  “If I want to get myself amped up, I put myself back in time, and I keep this picture fishing with my grandfather as a little boy, right before the abuse started. Move yourself into that place. Get that mind in that good spot, that positive spot where you were that best person where everything was ahead of you. Then go make that call and I bet you you'll get the deal and you'll feel a lot better about getting it.”

Marina Carrier's "birth" was actually a failed abortion.  Unwanted from birth, abused by her step father, and left for dead at age 9, Marina's childhood was dismally grey.  And yet she now sees how the hand of God was in her life all along, sustaining her, leading her and eventually giving her the power to heal from all the pain of childhood abuse, neglect, betrayal, abandonment and PTSD.   You can reach Marina at her website https://overcoming.liveSome of the highlights Marina shares:How an attempted abortion left her feeling like she needed to get rid of herselfFeeling unwanted and unlovedAbused by her step-fatherLeft for dead at age 9 I have no right to a voiceBeing horribly and forcibly silencedWhy does God allow bad things to happen to good people?It is never God's will that abuse happens, but he won't interfere with our free willFaith in a loving GodWhat our "trauma brain" tells us we can and can't doGetting over pain and fearWe need to become emotionally mature and wiseGod comforted me And morePlease share, subscribe, leave a rating and review, visit the Linda's Corner website at lindascornerpodcast.com and/or follow on youtube, facebook, instagram, and pinterest @lindascornerpodcast.

Meet Patty Bio After gaining and losing 50 to 75 pounds every two years or so since my teens, I decided I needed professional help. In 2005, at the age of 38, I started working with a therapist that specialized in eating disorders, trauma and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). She thought my issues with food and weight were a symptom of a much deeper issue: my childhood sexual abuse. I was sexually abused by family members until I was 10. For much of my life I would have chosen death before revealing that, so deep was my shame. But I was desperate to find love and believed resolving my weight was key. So began the next 12 years of my life working with my therapist using EMDR, a chiropractor to release trapped fight or flight responses, a sex therapist and group therapy for sexual abuse. I accomplished what I desperately hoped was possible but feared was not. Getting there required tremendous effort, the suspension of doubt, and a steadfast belief that it was possible. I'm rooting for you.   https://www.pattycabot.com/about

As the child of a narcissistic mother, your subconscious mind has been impressed with concepts, beliefs, and ideas that although helped you survive as a child, may work against your spiritual, mental, and emotional unfolding today. Being raised by a narcissistic mother poses significant risks to one's perception of self, which can taint every area of one's life. Children of narcissistic mothers struggle to honor, love, and respect themselves. They can become stuck in loops of self-sabotaging thinking, feeling, and behaving, leading them to codependent one-way relationships. Depression, anxiety, low self-worth, and a lack of self are just a few of the consequences of being raised by a narcissistic mother. If you have been raised in a toxic family system, if you are the adult child of narcissistic parents, or if you know of an adult child who has come from a dysfunctional childhood home, this episode will shed light on the struggles these adult children face. The good news is, as you awaken and identify toxic family issues, you can liberate yourself from the subconscious patterns, beliefs, and habitual thinking and behaving they have caused. Lisa A. Romano's life is proof that through an elevation of consciousness, it is possible to reclaim authority in your life, as are the thousands of adult children she has helped awaken and break free of the chains of the past.
