Podcasts about missing a true story

Guest: Karen Beaudin, contributing author in the anthology SURVIVORS, The forgotten victims of murder & suspicious deaths The survivors of victims of murder and suspicious death are often victimized twice—first by the loss of their loved one and subsequently by the system they rely on for justice. In pursuit of police transparency and search for justice, retired investigator Dennis Griffin takes us inside the world of real crime cases to expose the shocking truth behind the alarming number of unsolved murders and suspicious deaths classified as accidental, self-inflicted, or natural—with little to no investigation. Karen's sister, Kathy Gloddy, was brutally murdered in 1971 at the age of 13. She writes about her unsolved case in Chapter 19 of SURVIVORS. She has also written two books about the case  A Child is Missing: A True Story. and the sequel A Child Is Missing: Searching for Justice  Website: https://karenbeaudin.com/ ************************************************************************************************************************************ More from ImaginePublicity on Air: http://imaginepublicity.com/podcasts/  

My guest on this episode of the podcast, Marnie Grundman, has made it her life's mission to advocate for runaway for children and youth, and raise awareness to the reality of what really goes into the decision to run and what life is truly like living on the streets.Marnie Grundman is the renowned author of MISSING: A True Story of a Childhood Lost, Which can be found on her website, MarnieGrundman.com. A child who belonged to no one, missing at the tender age of 13, she experienced first-hand the worst of humanity. However, she didn't just make it through; she rose above the darkness, becoming a beacon of light, of empowerment, for others to do the same.She is living proof that no matter what life hands you, you have within you the spirit to rise, to rewrite the outcome of your story, to create a life filled with love and happiness.​What began as a story of healing led to one of triumph, of the power of the human spirit, of one woman's surthrival against all odds. Marnie has since become an advocate for the missing, working to change the perception of runaway children so they might finally get the help they need. Her compelling articles, engaging talks and interviews, and page-turning memoirs have become a shining light to the lost, the struggling. Marnie teaches people how not to live their damage, how to heal and overcome, how to rise up and reclaim a life of happiness.During our chat, you'll hear Marnie and I talk about:Updates on her work and how her life has changed especially in the just the last few years. She discusses the stigma that surrounds childhood runaways, and her efforts to erase that by sharing the truth as seen through her own eyes and through these whom she advocates for every day.The reasons by young children and youth decide to run away, and how it's much more complicated than simply rebelling against household rules deciding to go on some kind of adventure.You'll learn how children who decide to run away are often not able to effectively articulate the reasons why, because they are afraid.They've been silenced and running is a way for them to try to speak out.How the very act of running and living on the streets is not some glamorous adventure, or a fun time of memories to look back on later in life.The 40th anniversary is coming up of her last runaway experience. The memories and wounds are still as fresh as ever, and the struggles are still difficult. This milestone is something that she continues to process, but the difference now is that even with those struggles, she has tools and knowledge to help her cope.Seeing how far she's come is inspiring and validating, but also heartbreaking because there is still so much work to be done to help the children and youth today.Realizing that while she has met so many people who are supporting her work and helping to spread her message and raise awareness, there are also many who do not support her; people who she was close too before she began speaking her truth.Her work with Covenanent House and her goal of doing "sleep outs" for all 31 Covenant Houses in North America, this calendar year, to raise funds and awareness for runaway and homeless children and youth.Consider taking a moment and give a smile, some change, or a moment of kindness to someone who is struggling. You never know the difference it can make to a child, youth, or adult who feels like nobody is listening and nobody cares.I hope you'll consider joining Marnie in 2019, and participating in a Sleep Out or Donating.

Marnie Grundman started running away at the age of 5. At the tender age of 13, she ran away “for good.” Marnie lived on the streets, sometimes alone, sometimes with another runaway. At age 17, Marnie became pregnant with her first child, a daughter. Because of her enormous love for her daughter, Marnie started taking steps that brought her to finally love herself. Q & A What was the number one thing that was holding you back from accepting self love? Feeling that I wasn’t worthy. Not just feeling it, knowing that I wasn’t worthy. I was taught that at a very young age. Who is one person who has changed your life for the better? That is one of the toughest questions. I think I’m going to say my ex-husband. I really grew up with him. What is the best advice you have ever received? “Never be afraid to walk away from anything.” What is a self care habit that you practice regularly? Resetting and giving myself a little time to do nothing at all. Do you have a favorite quote? “I’m the strongest person I know.” Can you share a resource, an app or a tool that we can use to build our selfcare practice. I don’t have one. I don’t use anything on the outside like that. I would say that the best way to reset for me is yoga. What book are you reading right now? I’m not reading a book right now. I’ve been focusing on articles about foster care, group homes, and boarding school. What is the one thing that you are most passionate about? Two things: destigmatizing the way people view runaways and homeless youth; and helping people get past and through the things that have hurt them in their lives, to get them on the other side and loving themselves.
