Dropping a little Happy New Year message to you all. Thank you for your support and for caring for children everywhere. Continue to educate yourselves on child sexual abuse prevention. 

January is Human Trafficking Awareness month. I have dropped previous podcasts on HT, however it definitely warrants additional updated information. I will be back focusing on the current Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children, which is a component of Human Trafficking. 

Take care of yourselves. Your story is yours to write in 2026!

Thanks for stopping by!

We are excited to be BACK! This holiday focused episode is super short to let you know we will be rolling back out in full swing in January 2026 AND it provides a gentle reminder to respect your child's feelings if they are uncomfortable/sad/scared to be near Santa, especially being placed on his lap. This episode offers different alternatives for your photo op with Santa, family or friends if your child is not wanting to participate. Bottom line is to always respect and acknowledge your child's feelings. 

Thanks for listening!

In this podcast, we will discuss steps to protect children from voyeurism in the real world, as well as online. 

Voyeurism is a behavior or practice in which an individual gains sexual gratification by observing others, typically without their knowledge or consent, while they are undressing, engaging in sexual activity, or in a state of undress. The main targets of voyeurism are usually women and children, however, men and boys are not excluded from being victims.  Listen to the podcast to learn more!

Thanks for checking us out!

This podcast is a verbal thank YOU note to my dedicated listeners!! I would not be here without YOU!! You all are GREATLY appreciated!!

I also tapped into a little bit about my personal life. This was not mentioned in this episode, but the only reason I chose to hang up my face-to-face work with children and adults in regard to sexual abuse was because my mother has dementia. I chose to care for her and manage her care team to be able to keep her in her own home, which is also the house I grew up in. 

So, with that being said, this podcast was born so I could continue to educate people on Child Sexual Abuse while literally sitting beside my bedridden mother and savoring every second I have with her. 

Thank you so much for your patience as we continue to produce these podcasts.

This podcast, part 2 of a 4-part series on Human Trafficking, explains what Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children is, aka CSEC. Different forms of CSEC, statistical data, laws, ways pedophiles target children, and more is presented.

I encourage you to watch the movie Sound of Freedom (not for young children). This movie is based on a true story about CSEC. This is real. It's happening everywhere.

I will be providing additional information via podcasts specifically on CSEC in the future outside of this 4 part series.

Thanks for listening!
