CASA Talk

My friend, Joel Endorf, and I sit down to talk about money, our lives and building the world we want to live in on purpose. I hope it helps spurs conversation around these themes in your own life. 

In this episode I am joined by educator, author, speaker and blogger, Kim Marxhausen to revisit the study on Adverse Childhood Experiences, talk about the serve and return way in which we all learn, and consider how Positive Childhood Experiences help rewrite the stories for us, our neighbors and the children in our lives.

To finish off our three-part series celebrating 25 years of CASA in Seward County, I got to sit down with two long-time CASA volunteers, Glenda Dobbertien and Virginia Fraser. The heart of our work is the volunteer representing the child in need of a voice. In this episode we talk to those voices.

Our mini-series continues this episode with Sonia Almodovar. She's the Recruitment and Training Director for Southeast Nebraska CASA and she tells us how she first heard about CASA's mission and what she's looking forward to in the future.

This episode featured former Southeast Nebraska CASA Executive Director, Jonathan Jank. To celebrate 25 years of CASA in Seward County, CASA Talk invited Jonathan on to talk about this tenure with the organization to commemorate such a great milestone. Jonathan is currently the President and CEO of Seward County Chamber & Development Partnership.

I'm joined today by author and educator, Lisa Clonch Tschauner to talk to us about her new novel, "Reclamation." I loved this conversation because it contains so much of what is important in the helping profession. Lisa talks about her growth, her discovery, her learning, and her increased connection and awareness to ideas, people, vulnerable communities, and the people working to help survivors of human sex trafficking.
