On this episode we are chatting with such a fun lady, Molly Skye Brown, who has a very interesting background with trafficking and pedophilia.  If you haven't listened to or watched Molly's episodes with Emma on the Imagination, please check that podcast out first.  It will give you more background information into Molly's story.

Our podcast focuses more on Molly's past in dealing with the grooming aspect of what she's gone through and how you, as parents, can help your children.   We talk about how her neighbor took her to an aquarium, without the knowledge of her parents, and the strength Molly had to speak up and get herself help.   It is imperative that we, as adults, are aware of our surroundings and watch for children and situations that seem off.

Molly’s story is so interesting and detailed, that we will be bringing her back for future episodes to continue learning more about her past and ways she’s helping survivors heal. 

PLEASE LISTEN TO HER FULL 3 PART SERIES ON THE IMAGINATION PODCAST WITH EMMA (THE LINK IS BELOW) :

Molly's story goes deep into the trenches of show business, Hollywood, and exposes corruption on the deepest levels while taking you down rabbit hole after rabbit hole. From a young age, Molly knew her heart was in performing - she was a singer, actress, and beauty queen that climbed ladders in show business very quickly and very young. In the public eye, she was adorned by loving fans, supporters and incredible opportunities... while behind the scenes, she was experiencing horrors beyond comprehension that we discuss in depth in this episode. Not only was Molly recruited by Ghislane Maxwell, but she drops names and bombs about other abusers who's names and faces you may recognize as well. Molly is an absolute joy and inspiration to me and to many. Her theatrical, funny, and brutal honesty make this episode palatable, heart-breaking, funny, and entertaining all at once. Molly is a hero in so many ways and is a bulldozer that you won't cross without getting run over. In addition to her all the accolated she accomplished growing up, she is also host of "Lets Be Frank" podcast, author, blogger, wife, singer, singing teacher, and maybe her most accomplished role of them all is that she's a voice for the voiceless and works around the clock to fight for a better future for our children.

We are so lucky to have Kalla join us on this episode.  Bridget met Kalla at an unsheltered community event in downtown Phoenix at the beginning of 2021 and struck up a friendship.  Just following her social media pages, we knew that once we started our podcast we'd want to get Kalla on to speak about the light and love she brings to the world.

As stated on her Instagram page Rekallabrate, Kalla's purpose is to shine light on the dark, to show up authentically, and to help you do the same.  Although you may not always agree with what Kalla says, the ability to come to the table with different thoughts, evaluate and unpack what is there is part of the journey.

This episode is different from most of our other episodes because the intention is to get you to think beyond what you may already believe.  What Kalla says may or may not resonate with you, and that is okay.  We think that it is important to bring on many voices and shine as much light on positive influencers as possible.  The world has so much darkness in it, we need to grow the light and love...because darkness does not exist in light.

On this episode, I (Becky) sit down with my 13 year old son, Peyton to have a discussion on what it's like to be an eighth grader these days.  Although he can not speak for all kids his age or what they go through, we thought it would be interesting to have him chat about his experiences during the first 2 weeks of school starting.

We think it is important to talk to our kids about what they can expect each year in school as it becomes age appropriate.  At a conference Bridget and I attended a few weeks ago,  one of the speakers brought up the dangers of porn.  He mentioned that the average age for first seeing porn was 8...which means there are kids younger seeing it.   And that men ages 18-25 are dealing with erectile dysfunction because they have watched too much porn...the reason why was not given however.   I immediately went home and talked to my boys about it.   Well luckily I did, because on the very first day of eighth grade...during an icebreaker in gym... Peyton was asked if he ever watched porn.   Now I don't believe the question itself is one worthy of freaking out about or mentioning to the school.  The kid just asked, didn't show him anything or discuss it further after Peyton said no.  However, had I not already had the discussion with him, he could have found himself in his room on his phone remembering that question and looking it up to see for himself.   By having the short 3-5 minute conversation with them, it took the curiosity out of the topic.

This is not to say that they will never look into it, do anything wrong, or find themselves in a bad situation.   But having open dialogue and communication with our children, we begin to curb some of the areas that peers would take over.   Enjoy this tiny glimpse into the adolescents boys mind.

On today's episode we are honored to have Molly Baker on our podcast.  Molly is the mom of two adorable girls ages 9 & 7.  About 5 years ago, when her oldest daughter was 4, she disclosed that her daddy touched her.  Molly did what any shocked mom would do... she confronted her then husband and called CPS.  Unfortunately, even though we all assume that people are out there to help us, that isn't always the case.  As we've heard from other mom's before, and as our friend Emma has discussed on her podcast The Imagination, these mom's end up in the battle of their lives to fight for their babies. 

For the past five years Molly has fought to get her daughters away from the man who abused her eldest.  In this episode we get to discuss all the things Molly has gone through and is going through.  The areas in which she wishes she would have done better, knowledge she's gained over the past few years, and points for other parents to be aware of.   We could never imagine not having our children with us, and these mothers (and fathers) who are fighting for their babies are the strongest people we know.   We are blessed and honored to allow Molly to come onto our podcast and share her story.

Today, Molly only gets to see her daughters virtually weekly and in person once a month.   She truly believes God is in control of her and her daughter's lives.  Although not on a timeline we would all want, she knows that God will bring her babies back to her when He is ready.

"Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed."  - Proverbs 19:17

Back in March of 2021, Bridget and I found ourselves at an event called The Love Banquet in Phoenix, Arizona.  It was developed and hosted by Anthony and a team of wonderful volunteers.    We didn't know anyone there, but always believe that God will inform us as to why He brought us to any event or location.  After a few hours of helping grab food, toiletries, and clothes for the unsheltered community, Bridget and I still were unsure of why we were called to be there beyond serving the community.  We told ourselves that we'd start packing up and head out at 4pm.    At about 3:50 a lady walks in with her 4 dogs and comes right over to the table we are working at.  Her dogs were absolutely adorable and we immediately went to work making sure she had what she needed for both herself and her dogs. 

As we were helping this lady, a few people started to get up on stage and give testimonies of their lives.  One lady discussed how she was addicted to drugs and trafficked in her younger years.  Both Bridget and I looked at each other, wondering if this was why were were brought here...but continued to help this lady with her needs.   After the lady had all she needed, Bridget and I resumed our conversation about saying goodbye and heading out.  We walked over to another lady who was helping, not realizing it was Anthony's sister, and began thanking them for the event and for allowing us to join them.

Then Anthony stepped up to the microphone and began giving his story.   Both of us stopped in our tracks.  His story was so profound and was exactly what we were starting to venture into with our newly founded Stand By Survivors group.    Both of us stood there with goosebumps knowing that Anthony was the true reason we were brought to that event that day.    His vulnerable words about his life story, his strong faith, and moments of prayer stopped everyone in their tracks.  We even watched a lady pick up a copy of the New Testament that sat in front of her for the previous two hours. 

We didn't know what brought us to that event that day, but as Emma, Bridget, and I were debating on what our logo for Stand By Survivors should be, the idea of a dog came up.  Dogs are protective, especially of children, they are loyal...and spelled backwards is GOD!   The lady who stopped us from heading out those doors before Anthony spoke had 4 dogs.  Those dogs are one of the main reason we even approached her to help.  She kept us there beyond our time so that God could show us who we were there to meet.

Anthony's story is difficult, but his faith is strong.  We are blessed to chat with him on this episode.

On today's episode we are talking to the CEO and founder of Protect Young Eyes (PYE), Chris McKenna.   As a father of four,  he started PYE, because although many people were talking about internet safety, few were doing anything about it.  Protect Young Eyes mission is to show families, schools, and churches  how to create safer digital spaces.   Not only do they present at schools and churches, they have an app called Protect: Internet Safety.  This app is for you and your children to learn about digital safety in bite-sized videos and content that will increase your internet competence.

As Chris mentions in our conversation, he believes that technology will find our children no matter how much we shield or protect them.  So it is our job as parents to better equip ourselves and them to handle themselves when faced with these technologies.  However, much of that does not even have to do with the technology itself...it has to do with being a soft place to land for our children when they come upon the things we hope they don't.   Our children, especially the adolescents, are tuned for social sensitivity.   They don't want to be left out, they don't want to be awkward, so us as "analog" parents need to remember how it felt as kids and translate those feelings into the digital world.  Many of us would be in the same position as our children if the digital world existed when we grew up.   The key to making things easier is the ability to translate from an analog world to a digital world.   

We need to understand the thought process of our children so we can inform them of dangers they will face.   Just because you don't allow it in your home, does not mean your child will not encounter it anyway.  You need to teach them about things as if you said yes, so they are aware.   As mom's ourselves, we are thrilled to chat with Chris and his venture in saving kids through technology.

        On today's episode we have another brave male survivor.  There are not many who speak out, but we are blessed to have them on our podcast.  Antares joins us from Germany and was raised by a narcissistic father and suffered childhood sexual and emotional abuse.  Due to this abuse, he attempted suicide multiple times.  Thankfully, he began writing in a journal and has been able to find some healing in the written words.  He knows the power of depression and suicide  and uses his blog, Sense of Pain, to raise awareness to show people they are not alone.
 
        We oftentimes assume that abuse happens outside our circle of people, but as many of our guests have shown, it usually happens from people who we are comfortable with or are closest to us.   This makes it extremely difficult to help our children, as many parents are not comfortable hurting friends or family member's feelings.  But as we discussed, what if your child comes back to you in 10 years and tells you that the person they were worried about ended up abusing them and you did nothing to help them stay safe.  All for the purpose of keeping yourself comfortable.   It is imperative to believe your child when they become uncomfortable because their intuition is powerful and it is our duty to keep them safe.

           The power that parents have, both positive and negative, is  huge and we can dictate the direction of our family.  If we are not careful, we can do irreparable damage to our children because of  our own unmet needs or unhealed hurts.   We need to use our power over our children for good...to be a good example, to listen, guide, and allow them to flourish as the people they are meant to be, not as the life we have prescribed for them in our heads.

        What does Sense of Pain mean?  Listen to Antares' story to find out the amazing reason for the name.

We met Laura on our journey into human trafficking, through an Instagram account we all followed.  Through various posts, messages, and conversation, we all connected through our love for gardening, motherhood, and saving the children.   Although Laura lives on the other side of the country, we regularly keep in touch with gardening tips, God-related encouragement, and funny mom stories.  Today we are lucky enough to sit down with her and have a conversation together about all the things.

In this episode, Laura discusses how it is her mission to make sure mom's know the power they hold as the nurturer of the family.  This is never to say that father's cannot hold that same power, but as mom's our discussion comes from that side.   We discuss how Laura healed her son's strep rash overnight through essential oils, Bridget helped her daughter's asthma with herbs and oils, and Becky gives multiple vitamins to reduce the amount medication her sons take.  The power of eating right, vitamins, herbs, and essential oils has changed our children's lives.  This is not meant to be diagnostic or determine what works best for your family, but to give you additional avenues to help heal and protect them.   

It is the responsibility of all people to keep yourself as healthy as possible.  This episode gives you some tips and tricks to accomplish that.  If nothing else, it gives you some ideas and items to being researching so that you can see if it would benefit your family.  Mom's have the power to heal their family's and we need to live into that nurturing behavior to make sure our children grow up to be happy and healthy.

As an 8 year old boy, Richard Pink was sexually abused by his granddad.  He grew up in a world of shame and silence, as speaking about his abuse, especially as a male, was difficult.  It is a very vulnerable conversation and isn't deemed as something masculine.  Although he attempted to speak to his siblings about his abuse one night at the bar, the conversation didn't turn out the way he was hoping.   Ultimately, he coped with the pain and secrecy through alcohol and gambling.  As of the recording of this episode, Richard is 1 year sober.

As Richard described telling his parents for the first time, we learned that as a survivor who is opening up and telling his or her story, it is vitally important that we not only believe their story, but consider the child that went through the trauma.  Oftentimes, when abuse is discussed, you're hearing it from an adult, but that child needs to be seen, heard, hugged, and cherished.  That young self is still hurting, and although the logical adult brain can explain away the hurt, the emotional side and the hurt child needs that support.   

During our conversation we discuss how dealing with our trauma is important so we can better parent our kids.   The improved behaviors we see in our children are often times a reaction to the mental health changes we are courageous enough to work through.    Throughout the episode, we talk about how you can make sure you're the parent your child needs throughout any situation.  This does not mean that you are always calm and never yell, but it does mean that you are aware of the emotional toll you place on your child because of how you react.   Conversations, explanations, and apologies should always be part of how you talk with your children.

Today, Richard has social media handles 1-in-6 as a nod to the statistic that shows that one in six males are abused.   That is 17% of our male population that is sexual abused, but isn't allowed to discuss it because it's not manly or cool to show your emotions or talk about your trauma.  Men like Richard are breaking down the stigma against emotional and mental health.  They are bravely putting their stories online so that other male survivors know they are not alone and know that there is a path to healing.

Our amazing guest on this episode survived horrible trauma at the hands of her own parents.   Lisa Meister was born into a generational satanic ritual abuse family and she takes the time to tell us all about having been born and raised in the occult and living life as a satanic ritual abuse (SRA) survivor.    Not only is Lisa a survivor, but she is a mother, grandmother, wife, author, and podcast host.   Only God Rescued Me is both Lisa's book and podcast title...please support Lisa in both areas. 

It wasn't until she was in her late twenties that she realized she had been through this type of abuse and trauma.   On this episode, Lisa discusses the world of satanic ritual abuse and her recovery in detail to give you a glimpse into her life.   We discuss how Lisa has worked through and continues to work through her flashbacks.  She explains her separation from her family and how she has raised her children to understand her past.   After listening to Lisa's story, you will see just how strong these SRA survivors are. 

Very few survivors make it out of the system she was born into and even fewer find the courage or are even able to discuss their experiences without dire consequences. This episode is very informative and eye-opening it was such an honor to be able to share Lisa's incredible story.  So many children are still trapped in these systems and the sooner we decide to learn about the hidden world that exists all around us, the sooner we can save every child from the hands of these horrific abuses and crimes.
