Drop us a line at info@beyondthecrucible.comAt age 18. Judy Henderson married the man who would become the father of her two children. What began with hopes of family and stability turned into 12 years of domestic abuse, a period she later recognized as foundational to her vulnerability in subsequent relationships.In 1982, she was wrongly convicted of capital murder in a case tied to her then-boyfriend's criminal activities. He was acquitted at trial; she was sentenced to life in prison without parole. At 32,Henderson entered the Missouri prison system with no history of criminal behavior and little understanding of the legal process that had condemned her.What followed was not just the passage of time, but a metamorphosis. Angry and disoriented at first, Henderson turned inward to confront her past and embrace her faith. Therapy sessions and support groups — particularly those for survivors of domestic abuse — helped her understand the patterns of trauma that had shaped her decisions. She came to recognize herself as a battered woman, a term she had not known before incarceration. Her eventual release came in 2017 through the clemency of then-Governor Eric Greitens, who made history as the first Missouri governor to personally visit a prison to deliver news of a commutation. Now in her seventies and living near her family in Missouri, Henderson works for Catholic Charities and remains an active advocate for criminal justice reform.She recounts it all in her new memoir, When the Light Finds Us: From a Life Sentence to a Life Transformed.To learn more about Judy Henderson, including how to buy her memoir, visit www.judyannhenderson.comTo explore Beyond the Crucible resources, including our free Trials-to-Triumphs Self-Assessment, visit beyondthecrucible.com.Enjoy the show?

Childhood obesity is more than calories and exercise—it's a biological, hormonal, and psychological issue that can follow children into adulthood, impacting their health status for decades to follow, as well as potentially detracting from their overall quality of life - forever. In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Master Health Coach, reveals why early intervention is essential. Learn how childhood eating habits determine the number of fat cells an individual will have for life and impact their metabolism and hormone regulation, making obesity harder to overcome later in life. Jamie explains how hidden factors—such as insulin resistance, food addiction, stress, screen time, and the Standard American Diet (SAD)—are silently contributing to this alarming health crisis. Most importantly, Jamie empowers parents with practical, realistic steps to help their families break the generational cycle of obesity. Tune in to discover how small, intentional changes around nutrition, mindful eating, family meals, screen time management, and joyful movement can dramatically improve your child's health trajectory Please leave us a five-star review, hit subscribe, and share this episode!

In this Florida Man Friday episode of Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide, I'm bringing you a case that starts as a twisted game and ends in tragedy. When Sarah Boone called 911, she claimed her boyfriend, Jorge Torres Jr., had accidentally gotten stuck in a suitcase during a game of hide-and-seek. But as investigators dug deeper, they uncovered disturbing evidence that showed her story was a lie.  What really happened that night? Was this a tragic accident, or was it something else? And how did a simple suitcase become the scene of a murder?  Listen now to all of the details, the evidence, and the courtroom twists that led to a conviction.Do ​you ​think ​her ​sentencing ​was ​too ​harsh? ​Do ​you ​think ​she ​should ​have ​gotten ​a ​lower ​sentenc and ​she ​could ​have ​been ​rehabilitated?************************************************************Past Cases Mentioned in this Episode:Mother Struggling with Mental Health Kidnaps and Drowns Daughter | Pamela Cabrerahttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/florida-man-friday-mother-struggling-with-mental-health-kidnaps-and-drowns-daughter-pamela-cabrera--64086971Woman Punches Child in Face over Homework Mistakes and Financially Struggling Man Murders Wifehttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/florida-man-friday-woman-punches-child-in-face-over-homework-mistakes-and-financially-struggling-man-murders-wife--63882845**********************************************************************************HOW TO SUPPORT LOVE AND MURDER:

If you had to sum up your impact in the classroom in one sentence, what would it say?  How similar would it be to the sentence your kids would write?  Effective teachers strive to make a positive difference.  They also realize that being remembered for that impact is far more important than being remembered as a person.

Two former high-profile NSW Detectives lured a drug dealer to a storage unit in Sydney's southern suburbs and murdered him in what the just called a "cold-blooded execution".

Are You Living in a Prison Without Bars? Some of the most locked-up people aren't behind steel bars—they're trapped in their own minds. My guest today, my friend Damon West, knows this better than anyone. Once a promising college quarterback, he spiraled into addiction and crime, ultimately sentenced to life in prison. But Damon didn't just survive—he transformed. He found a way to change his environment from the inside out, becoming what he calls a "coffee bean"—a force for change rather than a victim of his surroundings. Damon's story is unreal. He was sentenced to life but earned his way out by changing himself first. Today, he's one of the most sought-after speakers in the world, sharing the same message that saved him. He went from practicing speeches in his parents' spare bedroom to standing in front of NFL teams, Fortune 500 companies, and thousands of students. He's proof that no matter how far you've fallen, you can rewrite your story. This conversation is filled with raw truth and real strategies. We break down what it takes to overcome mental prisons, fear, and limiting beliefs. Damon shares how he got his first big break by refusing to take “no” for an answer and the lessons he's learned from some of the world's greatest leaders. And in a moment that will stay with you, he reveals a forgiveness letter from one of his victims—proof that redemption is possible. This episode is about hope. It's about getting back up when life knocks you down. And it's about understanding that your past doesn't define you—your decisions do. Key Takeaways ✅ The coffee bean mindset—how to change your environment instead of letting it change you ✅ How Damon went from seven years in maximum security to becoming a top speaker ✅ Why you must ask the question—and how one bold move got him in front of Nick Saban and Dabo Swinney ✅ The power of gratitude and giving—how a simple keychain changed his entire life ✅ The life-changing impact of forgiveness—including the letter that changed everything If Damon West can rebuild his life from a prison cell to flying private, what's stopping you from making a change today? This is your wake-up call. Let's go!

We seek to solve the mystery of our Life Sentence--is there a cause at the end of the line? Will we find paradise, doom or is it all just an endless merry-go-round operated by the Divine?   [entire script below] Ep. 392 - Divinely Happy We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! Humans live with the knowledge of our own impending death, From even before we're born, the terminal countdown begins, As we only have a limited time before we'll draw our final breath, In a race we all must run, but one that nobody ever wins. And so we cling to beliefs that afford us some peace along the way, We try to catch a glimpse of the divine to get some clue as to what's out there, We meditate, vision quest, lucid dream, we hope, we wish, we pray, All to solve the mystery of our Life Sentence--are we doomed or does somebody actually care? If we ask for answers, will we get them? Or is it far beyond what's even possible to know? And if we feel changed by the pursuit, is that merely from our efforts or something more? We just want to discover the cause, so that when we seek a certain effect, it'll actually show, Then maybe we'll feel like we understand something, and get a hint at what's in store. When we go past this living organism phase--do we carry on, transform, or just end? I grew up down the street from a cemetery where several generations of my family are buried, I used to fear it after dark until I discovered that my bullies feared it more--'twas a godsend! Then I spent many nights among the dead trying to commune, but the results never varied, Answers came there none.  Ghostly friendships, not a one,  I tried as hard as any late night divinity seeker could--not one to be outdone, But my ancestors and their grave neighbors remained silent and decidedly un-fun. I was there on moonlit nights when the fallen snow made it bright in all directions, I was there on gloomy nights too, when I had to feel me way around, At the very least I found it peaceful there, even if I made no direct divine connections, It was still less hectic than my own world beyond that tranquil ground. Nowadays when I see people who claim to have a direct link to the divine, I wonder, What am I doing differently? I try to be helpful, I try to be patient, I try to be kind, I sometimes have to cut off contact with toxic people who try to pull me under, But still I offer words of encouragement through my work, a product of my heart and my mind. And this work isn't meant to replace faith, of course, it's more of a bridge from here to there. For those who have nothing, it can be a framework at the very least, something to cling to, And for those who already have a belief system, it can still act as mental health care. Humans are obsessed with the unknown, we're Divinely Happy in everything we do. I'm no different, I want to know what's out there just like everybody else does, And I'll keep looking for clues just like the Detective of Divinity I am and always will be, And in the meantime, I'll also try to focus on being Happy just because Being Happy is better than focusing on bitterness and hate, this I know, believe you me. Haha Yowza    

When Caroline Baum and her mother Judith walked into family therapy, Caroline’s first thought was: 'We are going to eat you for breakfast… we are so fucked up…' After all, they had a lot to discuss. At 90 years old, Judith had recently invited herself to come and live with Caroline and her husband and... it wasn't going well. Caroline is a writer, speaker and broadcaster. She has written about the complexities of caring for her mother and trying to navigate the aged care system. And that essay, linked below, was going to form the basis of this conversation. But as you'll hear, there's so much more to discuss. Caroline's story is both highly specific and deeply universal - speaking to the perplexing and often contradictory realities of what it means to care for our parents in their elder years, and how not all narratives are neat and tidy ones of gratitude returned. In fact, some of them end up in therapy. You can follow Caroline Baum here You can listen to Caroline’s podcast about the art of the biography, Life Sentences, here.

Brandon Nelson's story comes from inside the Central Utah Correctional Faacility in Gunnison Utah. Thanks to the UDS for allowing us access to the facility. Brandon he relates the good, the bad and the ugly of prison life. He talks about how, after 7 years of living the cesspool of prison politics, he came to realize that he could do and be better. How he became an integral part of UPrep, a grassroots postsecondary education program started by inmates for inmates rising to be the leader in that life changing program. Later, he tells of a curriculum called Captain Your Story, a lifestyle that has allowed him, in spite of still being incarcerated, to become free and envision and create a life now, on the inside that is truly preparing him for when he hits the streets. Though still incarcerated, he lives a productive life mentoring and helping other inmates who seek the same change and growth he has found.Sponsors & PartnersThe Other Side Academy - theothersideacademy.comMy Story Matters / Captain Your Story - mystorymatters.org00:00:00 Brandon Nelson00:02:16 Sponsors00:03:04 His Experience in Prison00:11:40 Being Sent to CUCF00:15:45 Opportunity to Choose00:24:45 Taking on More Responsibility: U Prep00:32:00 Fighting for Opportunity00:37:40 Opportunity Lost00:46:45 Integrity Despite Outcomes

A federal judge's new book is giving readers a rare inside glimpse at how a judge determines which prisoners deserve to have their sentences overturned.   In his memoir, Disrobed: An Inside Look at the Life and Work of a Federal Trial Judge, Judge Frederic Block introduced readers to his colorful life and career. In Crimes and Punishments: Entering the Mind of a Sentencing Judge, he explained the rationale judges use when deciding sentences, and the human toll it can take. And now, in A Second Chance: A Federal Judge Decides Who Deserves It, he's shining a light on how judges consider resentencing and compassionate release.   Without the passage of a key federal law in 2018, A Second Chance would not have been written. A bipartisan piece of legislation signed by President Donald Trump and supported by the ABA, the First Step Act was one of the biggest criminal justice reforms in the past decade. Among its sentencing reforms, it allows federal judges to reconsider sentences given out during tough-on-crime crackdowns, and for prisoners to petition for compassionate release.   Block, who is a senior judge on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, soon found himself asked to reconsider sentences under the First Step Act. In the book, he outlines the crimes and rehabilitations (or lack thereof) of six federal prisoners. From a former police officer who assaulted an innocent Haitian immigrant to a trio of mobsters, Block selected an array that represents the types of cases he's being asked to consider. Later in the book, he reveals the fate of each—whether life sentences were overturned or unrepentant prisoners were returned to their cells.   In this episode of the Modern Law Library, Block tells ABA Journal's Lee Rawles how his own views on sentencing have changed since he ascended to the bench in the 1990s. In a case that made the news after A Second Chance went to press, Block overturned a sentence he gave out 27 years ago, during his second year on the bench. Block had imposed a quintuple life sentence on Walter Johnson after the man was convicted of robbery, cocaine possession and witness tampering. At 61, Johnson has now been released from prison, and Block discusses that decision in the episode.   Block sees a moral imperative for all strata of the justice system to work together to address mass incarceration. In addition to calling on judges to be open-minded when considering resentencing offenders, he encourages criminal defense attorneys to go through their lists of former clients to see whether any would be eligible for relief under the First Step Act. Most importantly, Block is calling upon citizens to lobby for sentencing reforms like the First Step Act on the state level, since the legislation only applies to federal prisoners. He points out that only about 200,000 of the approximately 2 million incarcerated Americans are federal prisoners; the vast majority are overseen by state courts.   Block also discusses the public response to President Joe Biden's recent clemency decisions, and how collateral consequences have influenced his initial sentencing decisions.

At just 16 years old, Nguyen “Nhut” Vo was sentenced to life in prison without parole, but his story is one of redemption and transformation. While incarcerated, Nhut found hope and purpose through Pawsitive Change, a groundbreaking program that pairs rescue dogs with inmates for mutual rehabilitation. The program not only gave Nhut the tools to transform his own life but also inspired him to help others do the same. Now a mentor within the very program that changed him, Nhut works to train rescue dogs and teach inmates empathy, responsibility, and vocational skills—while giving abandoned dogs a second chance at life. His journey is a powerful testament to the impact of compassion, rehabilitation, and second chances.
