In October 2022, Samantha Stites was kidnapped and assaulted by a man who had stalked her for over a decade. After breaking into her Michigan home, he restrained her and took her to a soundproof bunker he had built inside a storage unit, where she was held captive for nearly 15 hours.

His stalking included following Samantha, leaving unwanted gifts, and even tracking her movements, creating a terrifying and relentless ordeal that ultimately led to her kidnapping.

This captivating episode features Amanda Carrasco, also known as Amanda The Brave One, author of Becoming the Brave One; My Journey to Justice. Amanda's story is one of unimaginable trauma and extraordinary resilience. She endured horrific sexual assaults and, while out of her home, suffered the devastating loss of her immediate family at the hands of another family member.

In this episode, Amanda shares her journey with raw honesty and fearless transparency. She talks about the challenges of navigating the aftermath of assault, the systemic failures survivors often face, and the personal strength required to reclaim one's life. Her story is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest circumstances, courage and resilience can create change—not only in one's own life, but in the lives of others. This is an episode that will challenge, inspire, and leave listeners reflecting on how they can better support survivors in their communities. Get her book wherever you buy your books.

In this episode, we talk with Deb Brandt, caregiver to her husband, JR, a survivor of Philadelphia-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Deb shares the journey that began in September 2016 when JR noticed unusual symptoms that led to an urgent diagnosis. Within days, he began an aggressive chemotherapy regimen, with the hope of a bone marrow transplant as the only cure. The search for a match took seven months, eventually expanding internationally until a 10/10 donor was found, leading them to relocate to Stanford University for the procedure.We discuss the practical realities of caregiving, especially the financial side. Deb emphasizes connecting early with medical teams, social workers, nurse navigators, and financial departments. She details how they tapped into resources from organizations like the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, utilized a GoFundMe campaign, applied for Social Security disability benefits through its "blue book" criteria, and discovered that many medical bills are negotiable. Deb highlights pharmaceutical assistance programs, including the Medicine Assistance Tool (MAT), NeedyMeds, and Triage Cancer, which help patients access affordable medication.Deb also shares the importance of proactive communication with insurance providers, especially when facing financial hardship, and leveraging housing support networks such as Ronald McDonald House and Hope Lodge when treatment requires relocation. Don't be afraid to use your personal network, too!On the emotional side, Deb describes how caregiving is deeply personal, with strategies unique to each person. She and JR found joy in music, storytelling, birdwatching, and creating comforting hospital environments. She underscores the need for caregivers to take their own breaks — whether walks, massages, or naps — and the value of long-term follow-up care, especially when complications like chronic graft-versus-host disease arise.We explore life after transplant, the strengthening of family bonds, and Deb's practical lesson of “learning the job” by taking over JR's household roles. Professionally, Deb works in Montana's vocational rehabilitation department, helping people with disabilities — including those recovering from cancer — re-enter or adapt to the workforce. She shares that similar resources are available in every U.S. state.Deb's closing message is about consciously choosing hope. She encourages caregivers and patients to find daily glimmers of light, allow space for tears, but always return to gratitude and positivity. JR is now eight years post-transplant, living with ongoing health challenges but embodying resilience and determination.This season is sponsored by Sanofi: https://www.sanofi.com/And Jazz Pharmaceuticals: https://www.jazzpharma.com/Check out JR's Survivor Story from Season 14 here: https://marrowmasters.simplecast.com/episodes/jr-brandtAdditional Resources:Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is now Blood Cancer United: https://bloodcancerunited.org/Be The Match – https://bethematch.orgMedicine Assistance Tool (MAT) – https://medicineassistancetool.orgNeedyMeds – https://www.needymeds.orgTriage Cancer – https://triagecancer.orgRonald McDonald House Charities – https://rmhc.orgHope Lodge – https://www.cancer.org/support-programs-and-services/patient-lodging/hope-lodge.htmlVocational Rehabilitation Services Directory – Search “[Your State] vocational rehabilitation” National Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKFollow the nbmtLINK on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/nbmtlink/The nbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.To participate in the GVHD Mosaic, click here: https://amp.livemosaics.com/gvhd Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this powerful episode of the Dead America Podcast, host Ed Watters sits down with Randy Pitkin, author of Restored, for a profoundly honest conversation about trauma, healing, and inner transformation. Randy opens up about his deeply painful childhood—marked by abuse, abandonment, and molestation—and how those early wounds shaped a path of rage, shame, and destructive behaviors. Through his story, we learn how moments of clarity and support empowered Randy to seek help, confront his past, and ultimately discover peace and wholeness. He shares how shifting spiritual beliefs, embracing vulnerability, and redefining identity played key roles in his healing journey.

Today's episode is a special one. When my friend and co-runner of the Victorian Cult Survivors Network told me she had finally found the courage to tell her story in its full and raw form, I shot my hand up to host it here with the Unchurchables.  Renee lost her daughter to the Kidney Cult (also known as the Jesus Christians). Somewhere, her daughter still exists. She is still loved and missed, but mother and daughter are on opposite sides of the ocean, and of an idealogical divide brokered by a cruel cult leader - one who Renee successfully sued for defamation and won.  Todays episode is a heartbreaking tale with all of the trigger warnings. But I hope it serves as a reminder that the damage of cults isn't limlited to the one on the inside. Estranged parents and family of those radicalised into coercive cults are part of that damage too, and their stories matter greatly. Go kindly as you listen. Thank you Renee for finding your voice, and fighting for reform. One day, I hope to celebrate with you as your daughter finds her way back to you.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Satanic ritual abuse, mind control and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, military veteran, former private contractor, anti-piracy operator, and bodyguard, prison and health industry reform activist, podcaster and host of his own YouTube channel called ‘Survivor's Story, and men's trauma and sexual abuse advocate: Daniel Growing up in an expatriate family in Nigeria, Daniel's early years were marked by a sense of unease and fear despite the cover story of having a seemingly normal childhood. Living in a wealthy household with guards and walls, he continually felt an underlying terror for reasons unknown, compounded by experiences of neglect and abandonment.As a young man, Daniel channeled his intensity into a career in security and military service, joining an elite force where he served with distinction before transitioning to private contracting in the Middle East, anti-piracy operations off the Somali coast, and close protection work for high-profile individuals. Yet, beneath his competent exterior, Daniel carried profound wounds and trauma - self-loathing, rage, and suicidal ideation that he could not explain. His disillusionment with the motives behind his work in the Middle East, realizing it was driven by oil, money, and power rather than heroism, prompted a pivotal shift. This awakening sparked a spiritual journey, diving into personal development and somatic therapy with the same fervor he had applied to his military career.In 2020, however, Daniel's life took a dramatic turn when repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) surfaced during alternative and holistic therapeutic modalities he was seeking for personal development. These visceral, somatic flashbacks revealed a harrowing truth: from a very young age, he had endured extreme abuse, including rape and torture, at the hands of multiple perpetrators. The memories were so overwhelming that they triggered periods of psychosis to cope with the unbearable reality.  Central to Daniel's healing was his journey toward forgiveness, a concept he initially resisted, fearing it would betray the children he suffered alongside. Through spiritual exploration, he came to see forgiveness as a path to freedom, not a condoning of abuse. By setting firm boundaries - such cutting off his abusers and their accomplices - he found the safety to forgive from a distance, releasing resentment and embracing love as a transformative force. This process, coupled with rigorous psychological work, helped him integrate his experiences with a renewed sense of purpose.Today, Daniel is a survivor and a leader, transforming his trauma into advocacy through his passion project and podcast, Survivor Story, focused on men's healing and in giving survivors a voice. His mission is to inspire other survivors - particularly men - to share their stories, break the silence around male child sexual abuse, and pursue healing.  CONNECT WITH DANIEL: YouTube: @SurvivorsStory - https://www.youtube.com/@UCo-bJUNOhP7nLSszDShh1iQ Website: https://survivors-story.com/CONNECT WITH THE IMAGINATION:EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/All links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastRIFE TECHNOLOGIES:https://realrifetechnology.com/15Support the show

In this powerful and personal episode, I share my own survivor story as a woman who lived through the devastation of covert narcissistic abuse. I open up about the day my life completely changed when my covert narcissistic ex walked out, leaving me with two children, over £70,000 of debt, and a nervous system in collapse. I spiralled into depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and eventually complex PTSD. I lost my home, my confidence, and for a long time, my sense of self. This episode is for anyone who's ever questioned their reality. Anyone who has been told it wasn't abuse because there were no visible bruises snd anyone who has felt silenced, unseen, and deeply alone. You'll hear about: • The subtle manipulations of a covert narcissist and how they break you down over time • The impact of emotional abuse on your identity, nervous system, and financial wellbeing • How post-separation abuse can be even more destructive than the relationship itself • The turning point in my healing and how I slowly rebuilt from the ground up This isn't just a story of survival, it's a story of reclaiming power. Whether you're still in the thick of it or working through the long tail of trauma, I hope this episode gives you the courage to believe that healing is not only possible, it's inevitable with the right support.

In this powerful crossover episode, I had the fantastic fortune to join forces with the hosts of the What They Don't Say: Sexual Assault and Everything in Between podcast for a special pod-share episode. It was an incredible opportunity for all of us to come together and share our unique perspectives on the journey of healing and justice after sexual assault. I've been following Shannon and Lauren's work for a while, and it was great to finally connect and collaborate. Their podcast offers such an unfiltered, raw approach to discussing trauma and healing, and this episode felt like the perfect chance to amplify that conversation. Shannon and Lauren dive deep into the realities that survivors face, from the emotional weight of trauma to the exhausting process of navigating the court system. They tackle what it really feels like to live with the aftermath of these experiences every day, and they aren't afraid to pull back the curtain on the messy, unglamorous parts of healing. Their no-holds-barred approach makes it clear that this isn't about sugarcoating anything—it's about talking honestly, without filters, and giving people the space to relate to the tough moments. In this episode, we come together for a candid conversation about the challenges we've faced and how important it is to keep sharing these stories, even when it's uncomfortable. We touch on the toll trauma can take on our lives and relationships, how the legal system can sometimes fail to offer the justice that survivors deserve, and the importance of community as a part of the healing process. It was truly an honor to share this unique episode with Shannon and Lauren, and I think you'll find it's a conversation that's real, heartfelt, and incredibly important. Whether you're a survivor, a supporter, or someone seeking to understand more about the realities of sexual assault and healing, this episode offers valuable insights and a reminder that you're not alone.

In this episode, we're discussing the disturbing and suspicious death of Virginia Giuffre — the brave Epstein survivor who was hit by a bus and then somehow "committed suicide" just before the long-awaited Epstein files are allegedly set to be released (if they even still will actually be released). We'll talk about the uncomfortable reality that the powerful pedophiles running our world will silence anyone who speaks too much truth. Especially someone like Virginia, who recently made it very clear that she was not, in any way, shape, or form suicidal. It's just as sketchy as the narrative they tried to sell us about Jeffrey Epstein "killing himself." We're calling out Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, reminding everyone that we need to keep the pressure on and demand the release of the Epstein list. No more delays. No more coverups. Justice must happen. People are hurting and dying. More victims are being created as we speak.

What if healing after trauma wasn't just about survival—but about creativity, reclamation, and transformation? Today's guest, Marlee Liss, is living proof that healing can look radically different than what we've been taught. After experiencing sexual violence, she was thrown into the justice system and quickly realized something: the traditional punitive approach wasn't leading to healing—it was retraumatizing. So, she did something groundbreaking.Marlee became the first person in North America to advocate for and successfully secure a court-ordered restorative justice process, requiring her assailant to undergo mandated therapy instead of incarceration. Through this process, she proved that true justice isn't always about punishment—it can be about deep, lasting accountability, healing, and even transformation.This is the second episode in my series on using creativity to change the world—because creativity isn't just for art. It's for how we think, how we heal, and how we rebuild broken systems.✨ From this conversation, you'll learn:The radical question that changed everything for Marlee—and how it can change your life, tooWhy the justice system often fails survivors—and what a real, healing alternative looks likeHow creativity can be used to solve even the world's toughest problemsThe surprising key to true healing: reclaiming joy, pleasure, and personal freedom-Remember to subscribe/follow the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.
