The history you think you know wasn't just written in books--it was curated, shaped, and edited by people with their own self interests. But before that, it was lived. And the people whose lives we study weren't usually the ones who got to tell their own stories. Some voices were amplified, while others were diminished--or erased altogether.In this episode, Sojourner Truth's famous speech at the 1851 Akron Women's Rights Convention is the starting point for unraveling hundreds of years of lost and manipulated history, reminding us why the truth must never be allowed to be forgotten.To read the speeches for yourself, find both versions here, as well as a video demonstrating the accent Sojourner would have had:Compare the Speeches — The Sojourner Truth ProjectFind me here:https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareYou can find me on Instagram or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnB, but I don't check Facebook muchYou can send me an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.com

It was the following Suzanne Arms quote, that inspired my guest today, Sharon Robinson, to become a midwife:“If we are to create a nonviolent world where respect and kindness replace fear and hatred, we must begin with how we treat each other at the beginning of life, for that is where our deepest patterns are set. From these roots grow fear and alienation, or love and trust.”As a new grad, Sharon left her home in the US to practice midwifery in NZ because of our “gold standard” midwifery care. However, she was met with challenges - hierarchies, power-plays, professional jealousy, over-medicalisation - that stifled her ability to practice where and how she wanted to, and in the ways that she knew women deserved.Sharon shares with us some of the trials and tribulations she has faced throughout her personal and professional life, including childhood abuse at the hands of her father, a mastectomy for breast cancer 10 years ago, and then, last year, being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. We discuss what the role of a midwife is, how the way a woman is treated in birth matters a lot more than her mode of birth, and what birth and midwifery are like in different parts of the world.Also discussed in this episode:* Creating birth plans* Stillbirth* Deep grief versus trauma* Abusive and fraudulent maternity ‘care' in South Africa* Rights in birth* Informed decision making and consent* Post dates* Induction of labour* Differing roles of midwives and obstetricians* Defensive, risk-centric practice* Home birth midwifery* Collegial support from like-minded midwivesCheck out Sharon's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/sharonrobinson.midwifeFind some awesome videos that Sharon has created on her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@sharonrobinsonmidwife516Become a part of the Wise Women Network NZ - a global (despite the name) Facebook group for birth workers and birth-passionate consumers who are seeking a reclamation of empowered, undisturbed, physiological birth, supported by wise woman midwives: https://www.facebook.com/groups/538842372367843Follow my (Carla's) Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/healing.birth/Check out my website here: https://www.healingbirth.co.nz/Email me carla@healingbirth.co.nz if you have a story that you believe is a good fit for my podcast and that you're keen to shareYou can also watch this episode, and others, on my Healing Birth YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@healingbirth

Hello, Crime Family. Have a seat, and let's get into Episode 96.Frank Tranter was a 74-year-old retired man living in the Lion Farm Estate in West Midlands, England. His health was seriously failing him, he was nearly blind, and he lived alone in his semi-detached bungalow. All he wanted to do was listen to music and wave at his neighbors out the window. But, no. Along came a group of no-goods who had to take those little pleasures, and everything else, away from Frank. Our survivor this episode is Monti Niccolo, a 22-year-old who loved hunting, fishing, and California wilderness camping. Wilderness camping can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing, but Monti did. He knew very well how to take care of himself. So when he came across two people who had deadly intentions, Monti had to call upon his will to survive. And survive, he did! My announcement in this episode is that I'm going to be releasing only one episode per month, because I just don't have enough time to research, write, record, edit, and produce more than that on top of my day job and my fixer-upper house. But if I find that i have the time, I will put out some extras now and then. Thank you for joining me here at the True Crime BnB, and I hope to see you back next time for Episode 97! ______Time Stamps:00:00:00 Intro00:01:29 Frank Tranter00:18:25 Survivor Monti Niccolo00:28:00 Wrap-up00:29:04 Outro0:29:09 Bloopers______Look for episodes from True Crime BnB monthly, maybe more.. . .If you enjoy the show, please share my episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help me find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give me a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareYou can find us on Instagram, X (Twitter), or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, thank all of you for just coming along to listen.

Hello and welcome back for Episode 95. Apologies for the delay in releasing this episode; if you follow me on Instagram you know I was traveling and came home with a stray 4 week old kitten, so lately I've been all about toys, kitten food, and counting the scratches all over my skin. This week I am covering the frustrating case of the murder of Holly Palmer, which took place in Granbury, Texas in November, 1988. Holly was an amazing, ambitious 23 year old and seemingly had only one person who would have had any problems with her. It seems that police and Holly's family all have a strong suspicion of one particular person. So why, then, has no one ever been brought to justice for her horrible murder? Our survivor this week is an anonymous teenager out of Gwinnett County, Georgia, and her story shows what a strong, courageous young woman she is. She was only 15 when she was groomed on Snapchat by an older male, and she barely survived their first meeting, But she saw him again two years later when she saw him sentenced to 30-to-life for what he did to her. One question this case raises is how someone is a relatively normal YouTuber wannabe, and 10 months later he's a child rapist and attempted murderer? Regardless of what brought about his transition to a monster, we are here to celebrate the survivor. So, even though we don't know her name, we are sending every good vibe in her direction. Thank you for stopping back today. Please take care of yourselves, and I'll see you back here in two weeks. ______Time Stamps:00:00:00 Intro00:01:50 Holly Palmer00:31:59 Gwinnett County, Georgia Survivor00:42:39 Wrap-up00:43:41 Outro0:43:56 Bloopers______Look for episodes from True Crime BnB about every other week, still on Fridays.. . .If you enjoy the show, please share my episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help me find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give me a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer! https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareYou can find us on Instagram, X (Twitter), or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, thank all of you for just coming along to listen.

Hello, Crime Family, and welcome back to Episode 94 at the True Crime BnB!I didn't plan to, but somehow I managed to have one case in each of the two most recent US states: one in Hawaii (became a state on Aug 21, 1959) and the other in Alaska (became a state on Jan 3, 1959).Hawaii is considered to be a paradise, and to many people, it absolutely is. But for Conrad Maesaka and Patricia Stevens, it may have started out as paradise, but it turned into a nightmare leading to their disappearances.Through a tip from a guilty conscience, the crime was eventually solved, but that was still not the end of it. Corruption, gambling, organized crime, and a desperate official all combined to prevent Conrad and Patty from getting their justice, even after a jury conviction. In the end we can recognize that although Conrad and Patty were flawed humans...who isn't??...they were not as flawed as pretty much every other person in this story. And they did not deserve what happened to them. And then to Alaska, where Robert Atwood headed, at the age of 28, to take over a tiny daily newspaper in Anchorage. Over 50+ years he turned it into one of the largest Alaska dailies, in addition to a myriad of other stellar accomplishments.But Bob never lost his energy, his leadership, his pluck, nor his love of family. And when his newspaper staff and his daughter were in danger from an irrational attacker, 79-year-old Bob sprang into action to neutralize the threat. And although it made national headlines, humble Bob didn't even put it on the front page the next day.Thank you for being here. I'm happy to see you, come back in two weeks for Episode 95!______Time Stamps:0:00:00 Intro0:01:22 Murder and Corruption in Hawaii0:24:43 Survivor Robert Atwood0:34:49 Wrap-up00:36:01 Closing0:36:31 Outro0:36:38 Bloopers______Look for episodes from True Crime BnB about every other week, still on Fridays.. . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give us a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareYou can find us on Instagram, X (Twitter), or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, thank all of you for just coming along to listen.

Hello, Crime Family, and welcome back to Episode 93 at the True Crime BnB. This week we have a little more cussing than usual, because it comes up in quotes that really contribute to the telling of the stories.Yes! I said STORIES. I'm harking back to the Bad Guy / Good Guy days, even in a solo episode, because if i can have an upper story to close the episode, then I will do that. First up is the senseless murder of 24 year old Susan Schwarz, who was killed in Snohomish County, Washington in 1979. Because of witness intimidation by the perpetrator, it was 32 years before her killer was brought to justice, but in the end, we applaud the witness for speaking up. Susan was a victim of revenge because she tried to help someone else who was also a victim. And she deserves to be remembered for the good, kind, compassionate young woman she was. I'm closing today with the upper story of Curtescine Foster Lloyd, a 51 year old woman in Edwards, Mississippi who was accosted in her bedroom by a naked man with evil intentions.

Hey, Crime Family, thanks for bearing with me as I am dropping Episode 92 two days late. The previous week just didn't allow me to finish it for Friday, so I am doing my first-ever Sunday release so I can stay on track for every other week.So, that business out of the way, this episode is a bit of a throwback to the old bad-guy / good-guy format that I still use in collaborations, but I'm both bad and good guy today. Today I bring you three teenagers who showed such strength, bravery, and presence of mind that they prevented the injury or death of people they cared about, or in one case, of complete strangers. Fair warning, these are hard cases to hear and definitely hard cases to narrate, so if you hear the emotion in my voice, you have no idea how many times i had to reread some of these paragraphs until I could get them out without a croak.Canaan Bower of Las Cruces, New Mexico, was 16 years old when he prevented a kidnapping, or worse, of a family at a gas station. Canaan was a champion heavyweight wrestler, but also an exemplary leader and human being, and his story is important.Jayden Perkins, of Chicago, Illinois, was 11 years old when he saved his pregnant mom and unborn sibling from almost certain death when his mom's distant ex burst into their home with a knife. Jayden was that child whom everyone adored, who brought light and sunshine into the day of every person he met. His story must be told, so that he will never be forgotten.Josslyn Millan, of Midvale, Utah, was 13 years old when her world went in an instant from a safe, family environment to absolute terror in a carjacking. Her first thoughts were not for herself, but for her infant sister, and she instinctively did all of the most important things to take control of the situation and get herself and her baby sister Ivey home safely.As per our regular format, the last story will leave you on a positive note to go out into the world feeling uplifted.As always, I'm grateful that you have stopped by here at the True Crime BnB! Have a seat, grab a frosty beverage off the bar, and let's talk about some outstanding young people that you'll never forget!Time Stamps:0:00:00 Intro0:01:05 Canaan Bower0:08:45 Jayden Perkins0:18:28 Josslyn Millan0:25:52 Wrap-up0:27:25 Outro______Look for episodes from True Crime BnB about every other week, still on Fridays.. . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give us a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareYou can find us on Instagram, X (Twitter), or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, thank all of you for just coming along to listen.

Hello, I'm glad you've chosen to pop in at the True Crime BnB for Episode 91! This week's episode is pretty rough and covers a senseless crime against a West Alexandria, Ohio woman who, in February, 1989, was weeks away from giving birth to a son she had already named. Joy Gayle Morningstar Stewart was one of those rare people who brightened the day of anyone lucky enough to encounter her. When she was brutally murdered for the most disgusting of reasons, her family and loved ones suffered tremendously thereafter.And when the execution of her killer didn't go quite as intended, it set in motion a whole series of redirections that are still happening today. Thank you for stopping by, and I hope to see you back next time for Episode 92. ______Look for episodes from True Crime BnB about every other week, still on Fridays.. . .If you enjoy our show, please share our episodes on social media--that's the greatest way to help us find new listeners.Another way is to rate and review on Apple Podcasts or GoodPods, or give us a 5-star rating on whatever platform you prefer!https://linktr.ee/TrueCrimeBnB?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareYou can find us on Instagram, X (Twitter), or Facebook @TrueCrimeBnBYou can send us an email at TrueCrimeBnBPod@gmail.comAnd lastly, thank all of you for just coming along to listen.

Hello, Crime Family, and welcome back to Episode 90 here at the True Crime BnB!This week I have special guest Miss Ruby Wilde, co-hostess of the Vintage Homicide Podcast, bringing the sad and senseless murder of Grand Ol' Opry and HeeHaw regular David "Stringbean" Akeman and his wife Estelle. But even if you already know what happened to Stringbean and Estelle, Miss Ruby has widened this story to a surprisingly large number of other related, but also unrelated, murders! This case had a great impact on the greater country music scene in the 1970's. Beth follows behind with the survival story of Sherri Boone, a brave and gutsy woman in Massachusetts. She lived through a terrible attack and when the law failed her, she made it her mission to bring attention to, and bring about revisions to, the very outdated penal code in Massachusetts. Once you've listened, please go follow Miss Ruby Wilde along with her cohostess Miss Mei Day at Vintage Homicide Podcast at Instagram: @vintagehomicide and Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/vintagehomicide You can find their LinkTree here: https://linktr.ee/vintagehomicidepodcast I hope you're taking care of yourselves, and that you are being kind to others.

You know what's one of my all-time favorite episodes from the first season of the Multi-Passionate Mastery Podcast? This one! Even if you've already listened to "Why You Don't Have Anything to Prove as a Multi-Passionate," I totally recommend giving it another go. You never know what new insights might come up for you this time around.⏪ ⏪ ⏪Why is it that as multi-passionates we feel that we have so much to prove? Either we want to prove that we can do “all the things” at the same time in a very public way, or we want to prove that we can focus on “just one thing” to keep up with the specialists. If you're constantly feeling like you have something to prove, you're not experiencing the freedom of fully embracing who you are as a multi-passionate. Let's shift that!In this re-broadcast episode of the Multi-Passionate Mastery Podcast, I'm sharing why it's time to let go of the idea that to be multi-passionate means you have to do everything at once or go the opposite route and limit what you choose to do out of fear of being judged. Get ready to accept that you have nothing to prove and embrace the freedom that comes with that. We'll chat about:My definition of what it means to be multi-passionate.Reframing how we look at multi-passionate as a noun instead of a verb (it's who you ARE not what you DO).Dismantling the idea that you have to prove yourself as a multi-passionate by publicly doing all of the things at once. Why remembering that you have nothing to prove is a key for bravely sharing your work as a multi-passionate.And how my own challenges as a multi-passionate have led me to become a better coach for my clients.⬇️ SHOW NOTES ⬇️
