Disclaimer: this week’s episode contains discussion of sexual assault. Please listen at your own discretion. *towards the end of the episode I misspoke and said that a lot of people who have been molested go on to molest, and that is not what I meant to say. I MEANT to say a lot of the people who molest were also molested as children. A slight change in the arrangement of words but a huge difference in Meaning.* I’m joined this week by Jamie Sivrais ( https://twitter.com/jamiesivrais?s=21 ), co-founder of the non-profit A Voice For The Innocent.

The Grass Gets Greener: Overcoming Childhood Trauma and Thriving in Life through Inspiring Stories
This is a special update episode of The Grass Gets Greener podcast. I'm joined by Jamie Sivrais from episode 74. Jamie rejoins me to talk about what he been up to since he was first on the show, including an update on the work he's been doing with A Voice for the Innocent and future plans for the organization. https://thegrassgetsgreener.com/jamies2 Jamie's first episode: https://thegrassgetsgreener.com/jamies Help support the show on Patreon: https://thegrassgetsgreener.com/patreon Check out this episode's sponsor: novni.com
The #MeToo movement has given millions of people the courage and a voice to come out and share their own stories of sexual abuse. We’ve seen many powerful men be taken down by this movement. We’ve also witnessed the rise of the #ChurchToo movement—people using up to rightly state that there should be zero tolerance of any kind of sexual abuse within the Church. When Kenny was a teenager, he experienced sexual abuse at the hands of a leader in his church—someone he trusted. He never fully shared his story or allowed himself to heal from the trauma and devastation this abuse brought into his life. During our chat, we talk (trigger warning: we talk in graphic detail several times during our chat) about his story, we talk about his path from to survivor to advocate, he shares practical wisdom from his life and experiences, and he gives us a sneak peek into a documentary he is working on that will shed light on abuse within the Church and will give victims a platform from which they can share their story. I want to reiterate—we do describe sexual abuse in graphic detail so please proceed with caution. I believe we needed to share the entire story but also wanted to give a fair warning to those that, understandably so, may not be able to handle it. Follow Kenny Stubblefield on Twitter. Hit him up if you have any questions or comments from our chat. If you have harmed yourself, want to harm yourself, or are severely depressed or anxious because of something that has happened to you, please contact one of two organizations that we have previously featured on this podcast: My buddy Jamie Sivrais started A Voice For The Innocent. They provide support for victims of rape and sexual abuse. Another past podcast guest, Jamie Tworksowski, started To Write Love On Her Arms. They present hope and help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide. Follow Let’s Give A Damn on Facebook, Instagram, & Twitter to keep up with all that is going on.

The Grass Gets Greener: Overcoming Childhood Trauma and Thriving in Life through Inspiring Stories
In this episode, I'm joined by Jamie Sivrais of A Voice for the Innocent. Jamie joins me to share his story of how he went from growing up without his dad until about the age of 10, to being sexually abused by him, to creating an organization that gives a voice to those affected by sexual violence. http://thegrassgetsgreener.com/jamies Get your FREE audiobook and 30-day FREE trial from Audible.com at: http://thegrassgetsgreener.com/audible
In episode 10 we prove that Pookie, Chris Rocks character from New Jack City, is actually Lando Calrissians grandpa? Or that Flavor Flave is actually an alien. We prove both of these and show how New Jack City and A New Hope share the same plot line in the monumental SNMC episode 10!
Join Jamie and Phil for the SNMC Christmas special where we talk about how Santa clause is real in the reindeer games universe. We discuss outcasts, disappointed fathers and once again prove that all movies are basically the same, not just the name.
Every year more than 3 million reports of child abuse are made in the United States involving more than 6 million children. Being one of these children is nightmarish enough, but if your abuser is someone you completely trust, then the event becomes all the more traumatic. Jamie Sivrais was one of these children. When he was 10 his father, who had been absent much of his early life, sexually abused him. Emboldened by his act, the abuse escalated to a point where Jamie knew he had to do something to try and put an end to it. Today Jamie runs a non-profit called A Voice for the Innocent which encourages victims of sexual abuse to come forward anonymously with their stories and get help from a community of others who have had similar experiences. The abuse at the hands of Jamie's father is shocking and terrible, but the fact that he has been able to turn such dark events in his life into such a positive act by assisting other victims, makes his story inspirational and uplifting.
