“I don't even know how I survived the days.” After surviving childhood trauma, domestic violence, and rebuilding her life in America from nothing, Zee Wilcox believed the hardest chapters were behind her — until a Texas family court judge removed her 7-year-old daughter without evidence. In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with American citizen, small business owner, mother of three, stepmother of five, and Texas House District 98 candidate Zee Wilcox for one of the most powerful conversations to date. Born and raised under communism in Czechoslovakia, Zee grew up in poverty as the oldest of six children, becoming a caregiver at just nine years old. At 21, she immigrated to the United States alone, barely speaking English, determined to build a better life. Years later, after leaving an abusive marriage, she found herself facing what she describes as a broken family court system — temporarily losing custody of her daughter in a ruling that was later fully overturned. What followed was not only a fight for her child, but a deeper reckoning with power, accountability, and the responsibility to use her voice. This episode explores resilience, generational trauma, domestic violence, judicial authority, and why embracing the start sometimes begins in your most painful chapter. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE How early trauma can quietly shape identity, strength, and survival instincts The emotional cost of growing up in silence around abuse and instability What resilience looks like when starting over in a new country alone How unresolved wounds can influence the relationships we choose What it feels like to face a system that holds power over your family The emotional reality of losing custody — and fighting to regain it How financial strain compounds emotional trauma in prolonged court battles Why transparency and accountability matter in positions of authority What it takes to move from personal crisis into public advocacy How embracing the start sometimes begins in your hardest chapter ABOUT ZEE WILCOX Zee Wilcox is an American citizen, wife, mother of three, stepmother of five, small business owner, community advocate, and candidate for Texas House District 98. Born and raised in communist Czechoslovakia, she immigrated to the United States at age 21 with little English and no safety net. Through perseverance and grit, she built a business, a family, and a life rooted in resilience. After experiencing what she believes are systemic failures within the Texas family court system — including temporarily losing custody of her daughter in a ruling that was later overturned — Zee became a vocal advocate for judicial accountability and reform. She is now running for office with a mission to protect families, defend parental rights, and bring transparency to systems that directly impact children.

Questions over whether the postal voting system is working after a South Auckland local body election was overturned. Judge Richard McIlraith ruled irregularities altered the outcome of the Papatoetoe vote for the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board. The case involved stolen voting papers and fraudulent use, and a new election must be held by April 9. Former Deputy Chair Vi Hausia told Heather du Plessis-Allan this was discovered when names of people who didn't cast a vote, showed in the system. He says groups of people also went to cast a special vote after not receiving their paper but found they supposedly had already voted.

The Supreme Court will hear a Second Amendment challenge to Hawaii's gun law. AP correspondent Jennifer King reports.
Prophet Hari Rao takes us into Peter's empty boat & reveals why your empty boat might be exactly where Jesus wants to meet you: Peter, a skilled, professional fisherman who toiled all night with no results. There's no explanation for this failure. You could be the right person at the right time doing the right thing, yet there are no visible results. But what if your failure is about to become a platform for God's glory? Jesus stepped into that empty boat and gave Peter a command: "Cast the net on the deep side one more time." "Nevertheless, at Your word I will let down the net." What happened next changed everything. One moment of favor is equivalent to a lifetime of labor. Listen to discover why his testimony wasn't about what he caught; it was about what he forsook to follow Jesus. God is about to shock you with results you didn't pray for, didn't prepare for, don't have the capacity for; it's not a good catch, but a God catch. Get ready for extraordinary outcomes!

This week on Regional Roundup from Rocky Mountain Community Radio, we hear a report on efforts to roll back the federal Roadless Rule, which currently prohibits road construction and timber harvesting in undeveloped land within the U.S. National Forest System. We also hear stories about a quinceañera in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, a new app designed to keep residents better informed about wildfires, and a notorious case of wolf cruelty that may be shifting public attitudes toward the animals. And we finish up with an audio postcard from Boulder, Colorado, where birders are hoping to catch a glimpse of a rare tropical anhinga.
David Boies, attorney for Virginia Giuffre, explained that Prince Andrew initially tried to stonewall the case but quickly pivoted toward a settlement when faced with the prospect of a deposition. According to Boies, Andrew's priority was to pay as little as possible and avoid publicly acknowledging Giuffre as a victim, even implying her claims were fabricated. The agreement, reached just a week before the scheduled deposition, centered on two elements: a “substantial amount of money” and a carefully worded statement from Andrew, both resolved swiftly under pressure.Boies later noted that if Andrew truly wanted to back out of the settlement, the process was simple: “Just call me, let me take Andrew's deposition, and we'll go to trial.” After Giuffre's death in April 2025, Boies again pressed Andrew to take responsibility, stressing that Virginia would have accepted even a partial acknowledgment or apology. He insisted it was “not too late” for Andrew to come clean, framing accountability as the only way to honor Giuffre's legacy and provide a measure of justice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Lawyer for Prince Andrew's sex abuse accuser claims Duke of York avoided going to trial over photo | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Evoking reflections on character development, scriptural interpretations, and personal faith insights, this episode explores Jesus' narrative within its historical and spiritual context. Ben and Laura discuss the show's imaginative takes on biblical characters and events, particularly focusing on the potent depiction of Jesus overturning tables in the temple. The series illuminates Jesus' righteous anger and controlled intensity, enriching viewers' understanding of his mission. They commend "The Chosen" for its ability to humanize often one-dimensional biblical figures like Thomas, giving them a broader narrative that extends beyond their defining scriptural moments. Their conversation touches on the show's effective portrayal of biblical history, particularly concerning themes like sacrifice and religious customs at the temple. This episode exemplifies how creative storytelling intersects with scriptural truth, producing a compelling drama that resonates with contemporary audiences.

Wade and stripping folks with a uterus of their rights. For many folks, it felt like the earth shook when Politico published the leaked draft of the Supreme Court's case on Roe v. Wade. Reproductive Justice activists turned up their microphones and voices for louder advocating for reproductive rights.There are a lot of questions we ask have about what the work of Reproductive Justice will look like if the leaked draft is accurate. There's a great deal of fear and concern, and rightly so. Thankfully, we have the wisdom of folks like Essence Ellis, a recent graduate of Yale Divinity School, whose ministry is centered at the intersection of theology, public health, and women's rights. She's on the podcast today to talk about the impending Supreme Court decision, what it means, how the work will continue, and where we can find hope.About EssenceEssence Ellis is a recent graduate of Yale Divinity School where she received her Master of Divinity.

What does it take to get a wrongful conviction overturned? Quite a lot, according to investigative reporter Alison Flowers, who says proving innocence is much more difficult than proving guilt. She has investigated the cases of many wrongfully convicted individuals, including that of Chicagoan Robert Johnson. In our last episode, Invisible Institute reporter Erisa Apantaku explained how Johnson has spent nearly 30 years in prison for a murder almost everyone knows he did not commit. What's clear is that a lot must go right to overturn a wrongful conviction (and even more so before the exonerated can try to earn compensation from the state). Flowers explains what a wrongfully convicted person needs — “the three-legged stool of wrongful convictions” — an advocate on the outside, an attorney in your corner and media attention.
