| Sextortionists Convinced My Son to Take His Life - Jennifer Buta | 23 Mar 2024 | 00:50:12 | |
In March of 2022 Jenn’s son Jordan took his own life after being catfished online and sextorted. Sextortion, or sexual extortion, occurs when an online actor threatens to release a victim's intimate photos or videos for financial gain. These people tend to target youth between the ages of 14 and 24. In Jordan’s case his culprits were caught, but very few are. Almost always, the guilty party is overseas. There have been multiple teens taking their lives in very similar situations as Jordan’s in Canada and the US. What should young people know about the dangers of sextortion? What can we do as parents? And what are social media outlets doing about it?

In September 2022 Vanessa Burns’ partner Myles Sanderson became one of Canada’s most infamous mass killers. He took 11 lives and injured 18 others on the James Smith Cree Nation and nearby town of Weldon Saskatchewan on the morning of September 4. Two of those lives he took were Vanessa’s father Earl Burns Sr. and his own brother Damien Sanderson. Myles even tried to kill his own son and niece. After the killings he went on the run before being ran off the road by police 3 days later. Shortly after being captured he died of an intentional overdose. Vanessa was kind enough to speak with me about her experience as a domestic abuse victim, what she went through that tragic day and the days following, as well as the complexity of grieving the loss of her partner, father of her children, her fathers killer and her abuser. May the victims of this tragedy never be forgotten: Thomas Burns, Carol Burns, Gregory Burns, Lydia Gloria Burns, Bonnie Goodvoice-Burns, Lana Head, Christian Head, Robert Sanderson, Wesley Petterson and Earl Burns Sr. Topics in this episode include abuse, murder, suicide, addiction, generational trauma Please consider buying me a coffee here!

| Life With a Partner That Needs a 24 Hour Caregiver - Lindsay Kelly | 09 Mar 2024 | 01:15:00 | |
I discovered Lindsay and her family on TikTok as she shares her journey. Not long ago Lindsay had a happy marriage with her loving husband. Together they were raising 6 kids. Overtime she began noticing behaviour changes in her husband, Reid. It wasn't long before he needed full time care for his dementia like symptoms. As a woman in her late 30's it was hard to accept her reality. How does she manage to be a mother and wife under these circumstances? Can you be in love with someone whose character you barely recognize? What self care practises get her through the hard times?
