  • Episode 82: Advocate and Free Teresa ft Franke James

    “Nobody really knows what life will throw at them. And how they’ll change as a result,” says Franke

    James. She is an activist, artist and author of four books on disability rights, climate change,
    government censorship, and ethics. She’s fought City Hall to build a green driveway (and won).
    Been blacklisted by the Canadian Government for her climate change art—and turned the
    government’s silencing into international news. Her latest book, Freeing Teresa: A True Story about
    My Sister and Me, is about choosing her sister’s freedom over her family. Franke helped her
    younger sister get out of a nursing home. Then all hell broke loose. The two sisters had to stand
    together—against their siblings, the medical system, and the police—to defend the right to be free.


    Franke and her husband, Billiam James, helped Teresa regain her decision-making rights and get a
    public apology from the Ontario Minister of Health. The memoir has won eighteen book awards in
    the categories of Nonfiction Audiobook, True Story, Social/Political, Inspiration, Family Challenges,
    Special Needs, and Leadership. Franke lives in Vancouver, BC, with her husband and her sister,
    Teresa.

  • Episode 81: Sleepless Nights ft Helen Sernett

    Helen Sernett, founder and host of the Sleep Lists podcast, was a non-profit fundraiser at the end of her rope, struggling with a long list of medical issues. Underlying all of it was the fact that she could no longer get herself to sleep. With Sleep Lists she serves up bedtime dreams every episode by reciting a lulling list of similar items. Lately, she’s more well rested and less on edge. She records voice over work and speaks at events about her experience with resilience and the power of neuroplasticity. Helen enjoys family time, cooking from scratch, and cozying up with a good book or movie.

  • Episode 80: Segregation is Wrong... ft Wendy Alexander

    Wendy is an Interview and Career Coach who helps people look so good that hiring managers can’t ignore them. She was stuck once, not knowing how to get out of a financial and emotional mess after a relationship break-up left her a broke single mum drowning in debt. But things changed when she changed – she invested in herself and found mentors and a supportive community to turn her mess into her success. And there's been plenty of hiccups along the way. From growing up a woman of color in apartheid South Africa to being held up at gunpoint in her first job in Australia and more than her fair share of health challenges - she's beat them all. Now she runs her company on her terms and helps professional people fearlessly get the job they want, negotiate the income they want, and ultimately the lifestyle they want.

  • Episode 79: Why Are They Enabling It?!? ft Sandy Kirkham

    A church is where an insecure sixteen-year-old girl should feel welcome, happy, and most importantly, safe. Tragically for some, the church can become a place of great harm. Sandy Phillips Kirkham experienced the deceit and lies that come with being the victim of a wolf in sheep's clothing… her church’s youth minister. After decades of keeping her deep secret, Sandy discovered her voice and has made it her life’s work to be an advocate for others. Sandy continues to use her voice to help victims of clergy abuse.

    She is a highly requested speaker, podcast guest and media liaison on the topic. Sandy has spoken before the Ohio Senate, a Maryland court, and appeared on a local television show in Boston. Her story, “Stolen Innocence,” was told in a documentary produced by The Hope of Survivors. Sandy works with survivors conducting victim support conferences. She has participated on panels moderated by SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests), sharing her perspective from the non-Catholic point of view.
