S3E17: Chandler administrators face disciplinary action to student complaints of misconduct by former teacher
An assistant principal at the time, reprimanded the now-former teacher, Patrick Power, in a letter.
"In your opinion was the letter of direction as a reasonable effort to correct Mr. Power's behavior," An attorney representing the five administrators at the center of the hearing asked of Jeff Filloon, who's listed as the Executive Director for Human Resources at Chandler Unified.
"Yes," Filloon replied.
There were more complaints, and Power was later allowed to retire and surrender his teaching certificate.
While Chandler Unified would not comment on the proceedings Wednesday, the district previously called allegations of mishandling the situation false, saying the district took "swift and decisive action" to involve police and investigate the claims.
Chandler administrators face potential disciplinary action tied to student complaints of misconduct by former teacher
The administrators who were all employed by Chandler Unified at the time of the complaints by students are facing allegations of unprofessional conduct.
CHANDLER, Ariz. — Five administrators from Chandler Unified School District are facing possible discipline by the state for allegations of unprofessional conduct.
It stems from claims that the administrators failed to properly handle complaints of misconduct by a former teacher.
12News first reported on this story last year, as seven students at Casteel High School in early 2021 said a theater teacher made inappropriate comments and touched them without their consent.

BONUS EPISODE! We finally had the chance to have our dear friend, anti-human trafficking activist, and co-founder of Stand By Survivors, Emma Pietrzak on our podcast. She is the host of The Imagination podcast and the creator of the Survivor Series in which she features survivors from all walks of life. At the release of this podcast, Emma has had close to 15 different survivors speak on her platform. It is important to recognize that when Emma brings a survivor onto her podcast, it is often the first interaction they've had with each other beyond text messages, and instead of these guests discussing how they became famous, how great their book is doing, or what new trend is occurring, they are discussing the deepest, darkest secrets with the world. She is an amazing host, making the survivors feel comfortable and empathizing with their stories as they are told. The emotions you'll see are true emotions from hearing the survivor story first hand.
Stand By Survivors is our main organization that fights for and supports survivors of all backgrounds. The Imagination and Save Our Children podcasts, www.standbysurvivors.com, and our Stand By Survivors telegram page are resources that we've created to give more insight into survivors lives and a way for believers / truth-tellers to connect and help stand up against these abuses. We take this time to explain how the three of us got into this calling of anti-human trafficking, what we've been through because we are in this fight, and how blessed we are to be on this journey together. The power, spirituality, and strength we see in these survivors has helped us push through, find ourselves, and stand strong in our truth.
Please join us in our journey to stand by ALL survivors by sharing our content and letting us know what topics you'd like to learn about or hear on our podcasts.
We are blessed to have the chance to speak to Kyle Collins, a Phoenix born lyricist, father, producer, and self described visionary. Musician, Sincerely Collins, Kyle has lived through a life's worth of tragedy growing up without a father, surviving the early disappearance of his mother, and later facing adversity while homeless. He unleashed the gift of grit: a hidden resilience throwing everything he had into the love of music. Collins often taps into the common experiences of his uncommon life for his otherworldly lyrics, and in doing so, becomes the kind of messenger that is too often missing in today’s musical landscape. Through perseverance the man lives his truth everyday and tells the stories that he knows best.
In this episode we talk about Kyle's childhood, raising his daughter, and his journey to enlightenment while dealing with the entertainment industry. The message of being yourself, always having integrity, and living in your truth is the theme of our conversation. It's a great to have found someone who is a genuine role model for kids. As Kyle states, “I make music for dreamers, I make music for people who just know that there’s more, I make music for people who have visions, for people who believe in themselves but don’t necessarily know how to take action on that. Or maybe they don’t believe in themselves… yet. Maybe they want to believe in themselves. Maybe they come to me, they come to my music to learn how to believe in themselves or to learn how to break away from the norm as much as they’ve wanted to their entire life. I just provide that bridge for people to unplug from the Matrix.”
As parents, it is great to know that there are artists in the music industry that are creating positive music and being great influences to the kids out there who are still looking into themselves and trying to find their true self. Kyle is more than just a man who moves to the beat of his own drum, but one who encourages the rest of us to get with the rhythm of believing in our infinite potential. That, more than anything, is what his music is all about.

In this episode we are talking with Vee, a survivor, human trafficking activist, and business owner. You may recognize her as "Bagels and Shade" if you follower her on social media and the podcast world. We touch slightly on Vee's story of being a survivor but our episode mostly centers around educating people on the business of human trafficking, grooming, and mind control. We discuss how to look deeper into situations that appear singular but are actually part of a much bigger picture when you're able to make the connections.
As a survivor, she uses her voice to call out the evil that still lurks in this world. Pedophilia, incest, rape, and child sexual abuse are never easy conversations to have, yet many still want to avoid talking about it...assuming it will make it go away. Vee is such an advocate for continuing to make people uncomfortable to get the message out there! Stop judging and doubting the folks who are speaking out about the evil and start researching and listening. It could be the difference in saving a child's life...possibly a child you know.
Taking a stance against human trafficking and pedophilia and standing up for survivors may seem very vulnerable and lonely, but the more you stand up, the more people will join you. In a time when our children have never been more in danger and when child trafficking numbers are sky high, right now is the time to really educate ourselves and others on this business so we can help move the needle forward in the right direction. Vee is such an inspiration and someone who is equally funny and empathetic. We had so much fun talking and laughing with Vee on this episode and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

In this episode, we are blessed to be able to have Tommy Womeldorf on to speak about his childhood sexual abuse experience with the Boy Scout's and Mormon Church and how it has effected raising his 4 daughters. Since Tommy has written a book, Scouts Dishonor, we do not spend much time discussing his past. However, please consider purchasing Tommy's book to support this brave survivor and read more on his history. Instead, we discuss how he keeps his daughters safe by keeping them aware, alert, and educated. For more on Tommy's story visit @yourimaginationisreal 'Survivor Series' as Becky, Bridget and Emma have an open conversation with Tommy about his childhood/book Scout's Dishonor.
Scout's Dishonor:
"As a precocious, enthusiastic boy of thirteen, Tommy had the whole world ahead of him...until a trusted association with his Boy Scout leader destroyed his innocence and shattered his self-perception. To make matters worse, the abuse Tommy endured took place within the sacred walls of the Mormon Church. While his tormentor went on to molest at least five other boys and was ultimately convicted on these charges, Tommy’s own abuse went unacknowledged, the denial of which forever altered his life’s path.
Succumbing to a lack of trust and self-worth, Tommy descends into a tumultuous life of drug and alcohol abuse, always seeking to mask the pain of his past. It is his relationship with the young, courageous single mother, Arlene Ryan, and her infant daughter that finally leads him into sobriety and brings him to a point in his life where he must question the failures of those he once trusted to protect him.
Struggling to understand how reputable organizations can act in such reprehensible ways, Tommy is soon embroiled in a legal drama with the Mormon Church itself as he seeks the retribution and recognition of truth that had been suppressed for far too long. Throughout this journey, Tommy is gradually put back on the path for which his life was destined, with the ultimate purpose of serving victims and understanding the true meaning of justice, forgiveness, and love."
Please join us in supporting Tommy and see links below to find Tommy's book "Scout's Dishonor"- support survivors and their businesses and show support by listening, reading, and SHARING his story!
On this episode, we are so fortunate to have on Elizabeth Harding Weinstein, a mother of 3 (18, 16, and 14) who is in the fight of her life to get her children back from their abusive, pedophile father after the justice system granted him full custody (even though there is an active investigation into his abuse allegations). Lizzie is a nursing graduate from Columbia University and lives in New York State. Unfortunately, she is also a survivor of pedophilia, domestic violence and narcissistic abuse. Her husband, Brian Stryker Weinstein, is a well-known lawyer and senior litigation partner of his firm, he graduated from Yale Law School and sits as a board member on Duke University’s Keenan Institute for Ethics.
Back in April 2020 Lizzie discovered that her husband of 18 years was he himself a pedophile after a known history of sexual abuse as a child. She and the children confronted Brian directly offering him help and he admitted to the pedophilia. Unfortunately, from that point on, Brian had begun using his narcissistic tendencies to gaslight Lizzie and the kids and buy or persuade the cops, lawyers, and judges to keep the children from their mom. The battle Lizzie goes through weekly, and sometimes daily, is difficult to fathom and it's amazing she’s still here fighting. That’s the strength of a mama bear for you! She has been harassed, arrested and imprisoned on multiple occasions with NO criminal charges, evicted from her home, denied access to any of her bank accounts since coming forth with her story... and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Since this discovery, Lizzie has been taking active action to expose the corruption in the court systems that actually works to protect pedophiles instead of persecuting and punishing them. During this time, Lizzie has only been able to see her children a handful of times, because the courts deemed it appropriate to place them with their abusive, pedophile father without their mom.
In this episode, we focus on the parts of the story that I think concern and scare us all as parents. Could this happen to my children? What do we do if it does happen to us? What do we need to be aware of to make sure we’re prepared? Lizzie has some great insight based on what she's had to go through this past year. Nothing is stronger or more unbreakable than the love between a mother and her child. I hope Lizzie's story encourages you to share her story far and wide, sign her petition (below), and start speaking up so we can bring justice to survivors like Elizabeth and victims like her children once and for all.

In this episode, we are joined by Survivor Jeremy Indika. Jeremy is a firm believer in the "Power of Story Telling" and the importance of sharing his story of childhood sexual abuse in an attempt to help break down the stigma and silence that is allowing it to thrive. We had the great pleasure of chatting about future projects Jeremy's working on. We're so excited to see what content he will come up with next to help us not only learn and raise awareness but to help educate others.
Instead of diving deep into Jeremy's past on our podcast, we take this time to discuss what we can do to help children moving forward. The importance of education, talking to your children about their private areas, and making sure they know that there are no secrets when someone touches them in those areas. Talking to your children must start early and be repeated often . These conversations should be age appropriate, starting with using the correct names for private areas, reminding them of their body sovereignty, and as they get older beginning to have conversations about sex and body positivity.
As parents we spend so much time talking about avoiding strangers and not taking drugs, but we ignore having the conversation with our kids about their body. It can be embarrassing, we know, but it is so important to talk to them or get a book on their body's changes or find an age-appropriate video to watch together. If we are not controlling the narrative of what is told to our children, they'll find it elsewhere. Jeremy has a great 5-part series on Instagram that he created to be the starting point of conversations with other parents and with some older kids. If we are to stop the secrecy of pedophilia, we need to make sure our kids know what is good and bad and they have a soft place to land if they ever have to come forward with this type of information. It starts at home!
We were excited to have connected with guest of honor, Jeremy Indika. We hope you get some great pointers to being having conversations with your children. It's never too early to start talking. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes.
Jeremy has taken us on his journey by sharing his most vulnerable and painful moments/experience of his life with us. It takes so much courage, Jeremy has embraced the opportunity to create illustrations and animations to help educate our children, parents and future generations on how to identify the different types of abuse/grooming.

In this first episode, learn a little bit about Bridget. She's a single mother of one daughter who lives in the Valley of the Sun of Phoenix, Arizona. Bridget was exposed to a lot during her childhood. She grew up around pro-sport’s and the entertainment industry.
About 2 years ago Bridget found herself in a situationship which lead to toxicity,anxiety and could’ve gone down a dark path. Beginning to see the character of one facing not only a sex addiction but an addiction to porn, lying and drugs. She knew she had to get herself out of that relationship. As she was facing anxiety while researching deeper down the rabbit hole of sex trafficking everything started to click.
Bridget faced multiple situations in her own personal life that lead to her awakening over the last 4 years. She is a firm believer in God will never give you more than you can handle. And whatever is done in the dark will always come to light. God has placed so many people in her path during this awakening process as she went down the journey of saying No, the power of one and focusing on self love.
In 2019, she joined a community Army of Love with her friend Emma spreading love and kindness across social media platforms. As Bridget saw the shifts in technology, relationships, healthcare, food, the fashion, and the entertainment industry. She than realized the connections to all the industries, could not fathom it as it was beyond disgusting and disturbing. 🤮
This lead to flipping her reality upside down by knowing the truth and was a concerned mother. Watching how social media influences and how it plays a major role in all aspects of a child’s development (life) is very alarming. Many parents do not have open discussions or uncomfortable talks with their children. Knowing what Bridget knows now especially when it came to sex trafficking and saw it happening in her own backyard speaking up was the only option. She spent the next year cleaning up all aspects of her life from relationships,health, social media and taking her power back. She is very selective now of who she engages with and gives her energy to. Blessed to be on this journey with Emma and Becky as we raise more awareness, have these uncomfortable conversations and continue voice for the voiceless and raising awareness.
Through the process of relationships, social media, health, anxiety, entertainment and other experiences Bridget has found herself learning the deeper reality of the world and the evils behind it. She believes that we can teach our kids not only to be safe, but to also be on the lookout for others. There is no right answer on how to parent our kids, but Bridget will bring you along on her journey of what she's done so you can take any nuggets that you find beneficial.
In this episode, Bridget and Becky invite their kids (Bridget's daughter and Becky's two sons) to sit down with them and watch a Bark Technology video on the dangers of Social Media. It is scary to think about what predators are doing to our children, but we think it is important for them to also see who could be on the other side of the phone or iPad.
If you need a conversation starter with your pre-teen or teen on the dangers of social media/technology, consider showing them this video and having that hard discussion. We need to start talking to our children about these dangers. Knowledge is power!
This podcast is recorded from an Instagram Live we did on April 2nd.
It's a conversation about how we met and the interesting, divine, and crazy things we've been through in the past few months. How we got to this place over the last few years and where we think it's going to lead us. We discuss how our lives have connected for the greater good, our plan for Stand By Survivors, and how living and parenting with God is such a big part in how this world will become a better place.
Please connect with us on Instagram to follow see future lives between ourselves and others along with content on human trafficking and parenting in this red-pilled world.
In this first episode, learn a little bit about Becky. She's a wife and mother of two boys who lives in the suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona. About 4 years ago Becky found herself facing a diagnosis of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, a thyroid autoimmune disease. She spent the next year cleaning up her diet and health, beyond anything she had every done before. First time trying veggies at 38?! Yup, it was that drastic. Through that change, she not only improved her health and reduced her autoimmune disorder, she improved the health and wellness of her husband and two boys.
Having two sons with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD) and one with tics became a challenge she was willing to fight though healthy diet and supplements. By eliminating most food coloring from their diet, she has been able to keep their medication needs low. Using a heavy metal removing spray has cleared the tics almost completely. Becky does not have all the answers for how to cure her son's, but they're all working together to live the cleanest, healthiest, and most stable lives she can provide them.
Through the process of healthy living, Becky has found herself learning more and more about the world and the evils behind it. She believes that we can teach our kids not only to be safe, but to also be on the lookout for others. There is no right answer on how to parent our kids, but Becky will bring you along on her journey of what she's done so you can take any nuggets that you find beneficial.

This is two lives clipped into one as Instagram cut us off •••••・・ Part 1: Bridget and Becky took some time to discuss a local tragedy that occurred a few weeks ago in our community. A teenage boy was murdered at a Halloween party in a senseless attack.
It’s so important that adults begin the process of healing themselves so that they are stable foundations for the kids.
This world is heavy for the grown ups…I can only imagine what it feels like for the kids. Time to step up and help !
Sharing Katey McPhersons powerful post 🙏🏽 Trigger warning: suicide, violence
Last weekend, a perfect storm hit our community. Something that has less than a 1% chance of happening did. Two young lives were lost 24 hours apart. One to an on campus suicide, one to violence. I sat with District leaders, eyes red and raw, parents themselves trying to understand how did we get here? One of those lives was taken by senseless, reckless, violence fueled by harassment, intimidation, drugs, alcohol, and social media. I have been ringing alarm bells about all of these things for 17 years and they all showed up with an open invite at the same Halloween party. I have received over 50 text messages from worried parents, furious parents, heartbroken parents asking what we can do. Asking how can this happen HERE?
I hate to break it to you all but it has been happening here for a long time. Parties are not new. Teens gathering at parties that grow bigger is not new. Alcohol is not new. Social media dehumanizing and desensitizing our kids, not new. Drugs and their access and extreme potency, not new.
It is time to get really REAL. With yourself. With ourselves, And as a community.
I will say what I say to every audience I speak to:
A community and school are only as safe as the kids feel welcome, and in particular our boys.
When kids are engaged with HEALTHY, CARING, TRUSTED adults, they thrive. Just because you live in a $2 million dollar house and your parents post you on Facebook playing club soccer doesn’t mean you’re thriving. It actually may mean the opposite.
There is an old African passage that says: “ A child that is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel it’s warmth.”
Well folks, this place is on fire. Many of us are caring trusted adults. And kids overall are inherently good, this I believe. What happened last weekend signals the unfortunate reality that some of them don’t have healthy relationships and are really hurting. In turn, turning on our community at large. The incident that occurred was not boys pushing and shoving gone wrong. It was a targeted, senseless, brutal attack with no regard for human life. There is no question about that. This is not new behavior for these children. Preston was just who they chose that particular night. It could have been my daughter or your son. Easily. We all need to get real clear about how WE as a community feel about that and what comes next? Stand by? Dig in? Stand up? Hide? Go fetal? I watched video footage as HUNDREDS of kids exited the party, phones in the air recording whatever they could.
I listened as the police chief said only 1 call came in about the assault as it was in progress. ONE CALL. Yet hundreds of phones yards away. If we want our kids to be bra
Welcome back to the Save Our Children Podcast with Becky and Bridget. After taking a hiatus for the past 7 months, we decided to jump back on and tell our listeners what we've been up to. God has moved us in amazing ways and we are here to share our testimony.
Between family, church, and advocacy, we've been busy. Luckily for us, we live close to each other, so we get to do local outreach together. Our goal for this season is to share our story in hopes that you can bring our local advocacy to your towns. Perhaps give you ideas on ways you can create ministries within your church or bring groups of people together to create change. The only way we're going to change this world is by changing our homes. Once we've created a better home space, we can move to the communities. If we start local, we'll transform globally.
We don't have a timeframe for each episode, but please turn on notifications so that when they are released, you'll be informed. We appreciate all of your love and support. God Bless!
We are back with another episode here with Emma from the #theimaginationpodcast for our annual New Year's Episode! Together the 3 of us make up Stand by Survivors LLC! For the last few years we’ve been on a journey together to bring awareness to human trafficking, SRA, and child abuse of all kinds. It’s been a while since we’ve caught up and per usual - you’re going to get to sit in on a genuine and non-scripted conversation between friends on a mission to make the future a better place for our children. I absolutely adore these two amazing women and ask that you give them your full attention. So sit back, enjoy this fun conversation, and Happy New Year to you all!
On todays episode we are talking to Brandon and Breanna, the founders of Red Light Rebellion. They are a local (Arizona) group that goes out into the community and speaks primarily to kids in 7th to 12th grades about the dangers they face with human and sex trafficking, having healthy relationships, and the dangers of pornography. Although teens are their focus, they also speak to parents, churches, and communities in the area as this is something we all need to be aware of.
We discuss what Brandon and Breanna are seeing when visiting schools, talk about some scary statistics plaguing our kids, and what they’re doing to fight against it. At Red Light Rebellion they know there is a movement all around the world of young people fighting against sex trafficking, and they are creating a culture that is intolerant of exploitation. This generation is igniting a rebellion against sex trafficking like history has never seen before!
We encourage listening to this episode with your teen as a way to start communication about difficult topics. You might be surprised by what they already know from friends and peers.

On today's episode, Becky gets the lucky privilege to be back with Monica Bucevschi for her Part 2 episode. If you haven't listened to part 1, please go back and listen to that episode, as we will be jumping into where we last left off.
When we were last together, Monica was telling us all about herself and her family...and right towards the end of her heroic story, her little girl woke up sick and Monica needed to take care of her. As we firmly believe on this show, family comes first. But we wanted to bring Monica back to be able to finish her story and tell us all about what she's doing now and how God had truly changed her life.
Monica continues her heroic story and shows how God truly does provide guidance and love through all things difficult. It is through God's strength that Monica is able to be such a strong and loving mother to her four babies. The example she is setting to her kids will take them through the toughest times. It was a blessing to talk to Monica and get her insight into dealing with the hard things. Please be praying for Monica and her family.
On today's episode we are blessed to speak to advocate and survivor Monica Bucevschi. Monica started her podcast, Awake O Sleeper, back in March of this year to tell her story and bring hope and the power of God to the sexually abused, molested...and even the abusers. There is hope and there is no sin beyond forgiveness for those who believe in Jesus.
Monica was able to give us the majority of her powerful story during this episode, but unfortunately, as life often does, her daughter got sick and we had to end the interview early. However, it is always more important to be there for your family, so we will continue her story on another episode.
On today's episode we are speaking to Dr. Evelyn Hill, and amazing woman who stands in the trenches with those in need. As a member of the Board of Education of the Kansas City Kansas Public Schools for almost 10 years she has seen firsthand the devastation of children/teenagers who have been abused, sold, kicked out of homes and shelters, and left on the streets. Unfortunately, she has also seen family members and friends who have suffered from sexual assault and abuse.
After leaving a large corporate career Evelyn joined a few faith-based not-for-profit organizations where she knew she could work directly with individuals in need. Specifically, during her tenure at Avenue of Life, they formed the Justice and Equity Coalition which allows the community partners to work together to find solutions in areas of injustice and inequity such as unfair housing practices, health care, unemployment, sexual assualt, profiling, and more.
Earlier this summer, she independently published her book Grace Over Rape, a book that offers some strategies to help individuals move from the trauma of rape and sexual assault to a place of recover, resilience, and purpose. This book will help individuals get control back in their lives. Those who have felt shame, guilt, low self-esteem, dirty, isolated, and alone can move to a place of peace, contentment, and power.
We are so blessed to have Dr. Evelyn on our show today
This week, we are honored to bring on Sean Hibbeler who has been making a splash in the truther community for many years with his outspoken views on all things conspiracy! Raised in Chicago, Sean started producing music for local artists from a young age in the secular music industry when the life-changing event of losing his mother to cancer changed the trajectory of his life. He began asking questions and digging into alternative research about cancer, and as the cliche goes - the rest was history. Sean is now an independent film producer and owner and founder of Hibbeler Productions which creates compelling films featuring counter-narratives to some of the most important issues in the world and things you will NOT see featured on any mainstream media outlet. His latest film, “Fluvid-19” features ground-breaking and rare footage from the last couple years that will leave your hair standing on end and jaw on the floor. His work has been featured on Alex Jones and Sam Tripoli’s Tin Foil Hat - just to name a few - and his raw approach to creating meaningful conversation pieces through story-telling is both refreshing and inspirational,
We couldn’t be more excited to feature his story and voice on our show today, so without further ado, we are honored to introduce to you today, truther, content creator, and independent film producer - Sean Hibbeler!

Through some research, it seems like there have been multiple cases against him, a suspended state license, and a criminal charge. And yet, he's interacting with the public daily...especially young girls.

On this week’s episode, we’re catching up! It’s been a completely crazy whirlwind recently between kids, fall break, work, and travel. So we haven’t had a ton of time to catch up on what’s been going on. And our recent podcasts were recorded weeks ago.
Instead of inviting a new guest, we decided to catch up and allow you guys to hear what’s going on with us. How we’re getting out into our communities to make a difference. We always say the power of one, and our actions support our message. The way to make change is to get into the community and show people you’re committed.
There are so many new and exciting things happening in our lives…behind the weekly podcast. Hopefully you’ll enjoy and glean some nuggets to take to your community.
This week, we welcome you to a special combo podcast episode with Emma our sister podcast and host of 'The Imagination.' We are thrilled to introduce to you this week - faith-based independent artist, podcast host creator and voice for truth, Isaiah Robin!! Isaiah has been an inspiration to all of us with his boldness in discussing the hard topics most artists don’t have the courage to talk about - and in an industry that denies God, grooms children, and outcasts those who are outsiders to the beast system, Isaiah continues to be one of few who dare to discuss our Lord and Father, quote Scripture, and to bring attention to saving the children. Isaiah is the founder of Godly Vibez Apparel and creates wholesome and powerful content across all platforms.
Isaiah’s newest album, Controver-SOUL is already making waves, facing censorship and is absolutely an album every one of you listening should go support and listen to. It’s so refreshing seeing more independent artists being recognized and we couldn’t be more honored to share Isaiah's voice, story, and inspiration behind the music with all of you!
Introducing today, man of God, conspiratorial wordsmith,TikToker, content creator, artist, and voice for the voiceless - the one, the only - Isaiah Robin!
On today's episode we have jack of all trades and master of all of them, Remi Adeleke! Remi’s resume and life story is impressive, and we could easily have spent the entire episode just on his background! A true riches to rags and rags to riches story, Remi calls his life the TRUE ‘Coming to America’ story. Born into African Royalty in a small country in Western Africa, his picture perfect life took a devastating turn after circumstances surrounding the death of his beloved father forced him and his mother to uproot to America - which began a new life filled with adversity and struggles.
After years of running the streets out in The Bronx, NY, Remi knew he needed a change and enlisted in the US Navy in 2002 and began his inspirational and transformational journey from Streets to SEALs. Ironically inspired to join the Navy through Michael Bay films like “Bad Boy” and having a story that reads like a Hollywood film, Remi probably had no idea that his own resume would one day include making an appearance in the Michael Bay film, “Transformers” and scoring a major publishing deal with a book appropriately titled, “Transformed: A Navy SEALs Unlikely Journey from the Throne of Africa to the Streets of the Bronx to Defying All Odds” - a truly remarkable piece of literature you should all check out.
Describing his life in one word, “Unexpected”, Remi joins us to day to discuss the debut of his short film of the same name, “The Unexpected” that will premiere on Sept 30th and shines a bright light on topics that are near and dear to our hearts and typically shunned by creatives working in the entertainment industry: Human Trafficking and Organ Harvesting. His harrowing film has already been met with high acclaim and we couldn’t be more honored to give you all the juicy details on this breakthrough project.
This week, I am joined by my best friends, my business partners of Stand By Survivors LLC and co-hosts of the @saveourchildrenpodcast, Becky and Bridget! For those of you who are new here, Becky and Bridget are two badass mamas and child abuse activists who have their own podcast bringing awareness to learning how to parent our children and re-parent ourselves in a Red Pilled world. We like to say our podcasts are ‘sisters’ as they both make sense together and were created to be compliments to one another. Where The Imagination covers the stories of survivors and whistleblowers, the Save Our Children Podcast dives deep into some of the questions not answered on this show. Many of their episodes are even kid-friendly and some even feature their own kiddos! Together, we believe we are helping to paint a fuller picture of what is happening and to whom in regard to child abuse of all levels and providing solutions on both ends to help listeners feel hopeful and guided to take responsibility in healing our own inner child within so we can break generational trauma cycles many of us have had to one degree or another within our family lineages.
These girls are absolutely amazing and are so passionate about helping others - and they do it with full-time careers, as full-time mommy’s and as devoted content creators. The Imagination podcast wouldn’t be what it is without them as they were the ones who helped me kick this project off and believed in me while most everyone else was outcasting me.
Becky and Bridget took a short hiatus on their podcast to get some much-deserved rest, recovery and family time and I knew we had to do a show when they were back and catch everyone up on what they’ve been doing and what is coming up!
So, without further ado, I’m honored to introduce two of the most amazing women I know - two of my best friends and two of the most passionate people on the planet who devote every waking minute of free time they can squeeze out of their crazy days to BE the change they wish to see in the world - Becky and Bridget from the Save our Children Podcast!
Today we are blessed to speak to Kayleigh Kozak. Kayleigh is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, college graduate, political activist, public speaker and founder of Because You Still Matter, but more importantly a wife and mother to five beautiful children.
In February of 2020, Kayleigh had to face her abuser once again in court, 13 years AFTER her case was closed. Kayleigh was informed that when her perpetrators probation ended, so did her protection. So together with local Arizona legislators, Kayleigh worked to draft "Kayleigh's Law", a bill that offers lifetime protection to victims and survivors of sexual and domestic abuse, regardless of their abuser's probation status. Yes, you read that correctly, that does NOT actually exist right now in most states. As of this recording, Arizona and Wisconsin are the only two states that have signed this bill. But we are hoping that many more states, legislators, and leaders see the importance of protecting the victims throughout their lifetime.
This podcast dives deep into what survivors have to deal with on a day to day basis. How difficult it is to just live their lives, even after they've healed from their trauma. The continuous reminders that even people who say they will help, don't usually stand up for someone who has been sexually abused. How frustrating it is to have big influencers claim they will help, only to turn a blind eye. When we say we must believe survivors, we also mean that we need to support them with our voices to elevate their stories.
Kayleigh is truly becoming her own hero and now has become the hero to many survivors who no longer have to relive their abuse in the courts to keep themselves safe.
Today we get to speak to well known human trafficking activist Landon Starbuck. As a mom of 3, Landon is one of the big voices out there talking about this difficult topic. She started out as a billboard charting artist who left the business due to learning about exploitation. After doing a bit of research she discovered that Hollywood was indeed just a marketing arm for sexual exploitation. As an artist, she naturally wondered what it was about herself that made her less than her peers in the same industry. However, quickly learned that it was what they were doing beyond their craft that got them roles and contracts. That didn't make the childhood wounds of not being good enough and that pain any easier to take. But it is something that every child (and adult for that matter) needs to realize when they interact with social media and the entertainment industry.
Becky's oldest son currently has a few transgendered students in his band and we discussed how to handle these situations. On one hand we don't want to approve or confirm this with our children, but we can't expect them to go out and be rude to people they need to see and be respectful of. God says to love others, so even if we don't agree with their situation, we can be respectful and loving. Landon had a great response that we can use with our kids to help them become the warriors we're training them up to be.
We discussed the horrific scenes at the country's border and what Landon has personally seen there. The fact that everything that is happening at the border is our government complicit in the trafficking of humans into our system. That our own citizens and those truly seeking asylum are being ignored and mismanaged. Between the humans, drugs, and crime coming across the boarder daily, there is a huge epidemic we are not talking about. And until we begin having these conversations and stopping our governments (both state and federal) from allowing to continue, we will continue to have a huge mess on our hands.
Landon is now the founder and president of Freedom Forever, we are blessed to have her on our podcast. Enjoy all her knowledge and fire! Raise up those mighty warriors to take this fight into the next generation.
We finally got on!!! Now it’s time to SHARE!!! 🚨🚨 Tell everyone you know in Arizona!!
Thank you to everyone who was able to join tonight. This message is urgent and needs to get out to all people who live in Arizona!
🚨🚨DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING FROM SAVE OUR SCHOOLS!!!🚨🚨
It’s time to be informed. @christine.sawhill.accurso is the expert in ESA and we’re so thrilled we can bring her on and discuss this. Bottom line we as parents should have the choice of where our children go to school. Whether it’s public school, public charter, private, homeschool, micro school, etc. Because at any time, your current situation could change. We pulled my son from public school to homeschool last year…and now he’s back in public school. This ESA would have been great to have!
Christine has a video on YouTube explaining more. Additional information can be found at www.DeclinetoSignArizona.com
For any more questions, or to find out how you can help, email at ArizonaESAmom@gmail.com
Today we are blessed to be joined by Emma from The Imagination Podcast to interview one of the most bad ass women we know. Janae Sergio is a survivor, mom, wife, Navy veteran, philanthropist, fashion entrepreneur, and social media motivator.
At age 16, Janae was dropped off at a homeless shelter in Hollywood, California by her mom. She spent the next 2 1/2 years surviving. Janae moved from various shelters, finding herself in situations that could have completely changed her life. She spent those years avoiding attempts to lure her into drug addiction and the sex trafficking industry. Her strength, tenacity, and wherewithal at the young ages of 16, 17, and 18 is heroic and brave.
At 19, Janae joined the Navy and was quickly thrust into battle after the events of 9/11. She is a Combat Navy Veteran who was amongst the first group of service members to be forward deployed aboard the USS John C Stennis one month after the 9/11 attacks to kick off Operation Enduring Freedom.
Janae is now married for 15 years with two beautiful daughters. Her life is far from easy, but she has used her life experiences to build a thriving fashion business and speak up for those who's voices are not always heard. She is a strong voice for the voiceless, and we are thrilled to have her share her life story with us.
On this episode we are so excited to have Catie and Whitney on our show. A few weeks ago, we came across one of Catie's Instagram posts. Catie is a survivor and advocate with huge following on TikTok where she speaks out about trafficking, childhood sexual abuse materials, sexual exploitation, and child safety.
Whitney used to be a content moderator for Tik Tok. She wanted to expose TikTok and Catie came forward to help elevate her story. Together they poured through all the information of what the content moderator experience looked like. As you can image, part of Whitney's job was to look through the worst garbage of the internet. "If everyone had to sit and watch what we had to watch for one 6-hour shift, this world would be a utopia".
**Trigger Warning** There is a lot of sensitive materials discussed in this episode. Although we encourage everyone to listen and learn from Catie and Whitney, please be aware that this episode is not for little ears.
This is a dangerous subject to begin talking about, so please keep Catie and Whitney in your prayers as they continue to expose the truth.
On todays episode we are so blessed to be speaking to Joel Bauman, also known to many as King Bau. He’s a UFC fighter, recording artist, producer, content creator, and advocate working to eradicate childhood malnutrition from the world.
Last week, Joel went viral again for calling out Jimmy Kimmel, the mainstream media, and Hollywood as pedophiles asking for the Epstein flight logs to be released. It’s wonderful to have these influencers stepping up to fight for the kids.
As we discuss, both of our causes go hand in hand. Eradicating malnutrition allows for the prevention of human trafficking. Families don’t need to make decisions about selling their children to get enough food for everyone. When people aren’t hungry, they are less likely to be controlled. It’s vital that we start saving the children at a grassroots level.
Joel is such an open, honest, and enlightened human and we were so lucky to share his story and message with you.
On today's episode, we're speaking to Amethyst Jewel, a Christian singer, songwriter who's leading the change for her generation through faith. She uses her music to bring biblical power and inspire self-reflection to a culture ravaged by mental health and sin. She hopes she can bring her message of hope to others who she knows also needs to hear it.
Back in 2017, Amethyst lost her grandfather to PTSD. It changed her family and they haven't been the same, but God stepped in and allows them to continually provide a message of hope. It is important for them to bring awareness to the struggles of mental health among not only veterans, but everyone. At the beginning of the summer, Amethyst worked with our podcast friend TMR to write the song Gone. A song that has such a deep message about the mental health of our veterans.
Just recently, the song "Be the Generation" was released and it is extremely powerful. I truly believe that this young generation is going to be the one who turns the world around.
Thank you for joining us again after our summer break. During this episode, we catch you up on what we've been up to over the summer along with our future plans...new and exciting adventures God has put on our hearts to also pursue.
Back in May, we decided that we would spend the summer with our kids. We spend so much time on these episodes talking about being present and doing what's right by yourself and your family that it didn't seem right to continue when we really wanted and needed to spend time with our kids.
Although there were a few episodes posted throughout the summer, we did not actually record any episodes together throughout the months of May, June and July. We stayed present, enjoyed the way too short summer months for our Arizona kids, and traveled around the country. Come check in with us to see what we were up to.
Let's talk...Bringing to light the murder of Veteran Madalyn Coulter
This info is directly from the two people who found Madalyn. What is @ninelineapparel hiding? Why didn’t they help and why is everyone treating HER death like a secret? This is heartbreaking.
🗣🗣Share her story please 🙏🏽
A conversation we need to have! At what point does this behavior become dangerous to our community as a whole? Vulnerability is courageous.
To my male counterparts, don’t turn a blind eye to abuse/exploitation of our female Veterans in order to preserve the “brotherhood”. The signs were there. We scream from mountaintops and remain unheard, y’all whisper and the community stops to listen. -janae_perfectlyflawed @ninelineapparel#madalyncoulter #zacscalf #22aday #dvawareness #veteran #MurderSuicide

2 U.S. Army Veterans, former Nine Line employees identified in murder-suicide investigation.
Around 5 p.m. on July 12, Savannah Police discovered the body of 28-year-old Madalyn Coulter in a red Toyota Highlander in the parking lot of the Double Tree Hotel on Yvette J. Hagins Drive near the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport. Dead from a gunshot wound, Coulter had been reported missing hours earlier.
The man ultimately suspected of her murder, 41-year-old Zachary Scalf, had been found dead hours earlier from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in his car, parked in the lot of Nine Line Apparel on Fort Argyle Road, where both Coulter and Scalf worked together from 2018 to 2020.
Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport and Savannah Police released details of the suspected murder-suicide today, one week after their deaths. Both were U.S. Army veterans. He in the infantry and she as a healthcare specialist, according to their LinkedIn pages.
The Veterans Crisis Line is available 24/7/365 for veterans struggling with mental health or contemplating suicide by calling 988 and pressing 1, or texting 838255.
On this episode, Becky speaks with friend and fellow Wake Up Phoenix founder Briana. Over the past two years, Briana and I have been through many awakening moments and changes in our lives. As the world changes, we are becoming more and more aware of how we can impact humanity…both as advocates against human trafficking and moms.
We talk about our childhoods and how that has impacted the way we parent. Learning how to grow and change past our traumas to become better people. How homeschooling has changed our lives and children for the better. And finally we discuss how our spirituality has changed and evolved over our lives and where we stand today. It was great to sit back and have a relaxing conversation with Briana.
We joined Emma the host of our Sister Podcast "The Imagination" as co-hosts as we are back with our interview series with Survivor Advocate, Corinne Cline! We met this week's guest on Telegram and it's been history ever since. She's is someone who risks her life everyday working for Rescue 1 Global which is an undercover organization in the state of Tennessee that assists in rescuing children out of sex trafficking and provides them with a long-term plan to recover, heal and find loving homes. Corinne is a Survivor Advocate for R1G where she gets to be with and comfort the children immediately after they are rescued from sex trafficking at the safe house. She is a real life earth angel and a real life example of taking action in this fight for our children.
In this week's episode, we discuss the ins and outs of trafficking - what it is, where it is, why it flies under the radar and why you should care. We also discuss her experiences in working with survivors immediately after they are rescued from trafficking, the lowdown on California and Tennessee's trafficking landscape, how non-profits are contributing to the problem more than helping, and how we can raise healed children in the household and hold ourselves accountable for raising the bar in our parenting to ensure we are raising aware, protected, educated, and conscious children.
*The episode randomly cuts off after my computer glitched at the very end, so apologies for not having a proper closing! God bless you all!
Corinne is also a woman of God, a wife, mother, and an incredible independent researcher. She is also an advocate in bringing awareness to trafficking through CPS, the foster care system, and the secret family courts after she and her husband went through the adoption process themselves and discovered the deep corruption first-hand. Corinne is an absolute wealth of knowledge and in this episode, she gives us all the details of the organization she's partnered with, the differences between a non-profit and an LLC and why the difference is important when it comes to fighting for our children, and the low-down on her experiences being boots on the ground in this movement! My hope is that she will not only educate you all, but also inspire you to take action in your own way in combatting this pan-demic against children and making the world a safer place for out kids!
Rescue 1 Global's mission is to counter human trafficking and provide holistic restoration: at home and around the world. Rescue 1 Global is a 21st Century Abolitionist Movement located in Tennessee combating human trafficking on a global scale by serving communities around the world until they are free from slavery.
On this episode, Becky joins The Imagination podcast to do an urgent emergency broadcast podcast episode featuring two survivors and on-going victims of human trafficking and government abuse in the UK, Serenity Rose and Rachel Caruso. Because of the emergency status of this situation, we decided to halt everything we had originally planned and broadcast this story far in wide in hopes we can get resources for these two amazing women. Prepare to be shocked by what you hear - if you think trafficking victims ever ‘escape’ the system and that the crimes committed against them just ‘end’, you’re missing the bigger picture. The measures in place to keep survivors on-going victims is horrific and astounding. We lay it all out here and give you a taste of what real survivors go through on a day to day basis and how systems are put in place to rob them of their basic human rights, sanity, and financial resources.
If you haven’t yet seen Serenity’s episode, I will link it below for reference and we will be uploading Rachel’s series to my channel soon as well so you can hear her whole story. In the meantime, Rachel whistleblows ALL THE THINGS on her YouTube channels and I will have those linked below as well for you guys to check out. I need help distributing this episode far and wide and am so thankful for all the support and love you guys on the other end of the screen, phone and computer give! Please share, comment, and help resource these girls in any way possible - connections, finances, and social media support all go such a long way!
On this episode Bridget sits down with recording artists The Marine Rapper (TMR) and Jessie G to discuss their new song Self Doubt. A very vulnerable collaboration between the two of them speaking about doubt, anxiety, and finding your place.
The conversation then turns to mental health and what they’ve dealt with in their lives. Bridget talks through the verses of the song and the significance of them. It is such a blessing to get to see the process and thought behind the lyrics. The genius minds that it takes to write not only a good song, but one that hits people at multiple levels with multiple meanings.
Enjoy this vulnerable and insightful episode with two amazingly talented musicians. And if you feel compelled, please support them by purchasing their music. If that is not something you can afford at this time, please like, share, and comment their stuff to help their algorithms.
We met warrior mom Kristina at a women's conference a few weeks ago. She got up and told us her story of losing her house to a very quick fire. Thankfully everyone made it out safely, but the same can not be said for her house or many of her belongings. They lost their home in a matter of minutes.
It was very important to us to bring Kristina on so that our amazing listeners could hear her story and be able to support her family if they saw it in their hearts, but also to warn people on the importance of fire safety, exit strategies, and insurance needs. We also discussed mental health and how much strength it's taken for Kristina and her husband to be supportive to their children and each other. How it's taken strength to accept the help people have offered when you're normally the one offering support.
We wish Kristina and her family nothing but the best. We ask our community to say a prayer for their family, share their story with others, and let's rally around them in this time of need.
On today's episode we're speaking to child safety educator, Yami Pence. For 7 years, Yami worked in law enforcement, with the last 3 of those years as a Crimes Against Children detective. She has seen some horrific things and after becoming a mom herself, felt called by God to start educating parents and adults on keeping kids safe.
We start our conversation by discussing what is appropriate to share online. Since many friends and family do not live near each other, social media is often used to share everyday life experiences. Yami tells us about ways to protect our kids while sharing with those close to us.
Sleepovers are another important topic for Yami as that is where many issues can arise. Becky’s 11 year old son had a sleep over for school coming up and she asked for some advice on how to educate our kids before leaving our house. To teach them safety in a factual, but sometimes scary way. We don’t sugarcoat stranger danger or drugs and we certainly shouldn’t sugarcoat what could happen to them in the presence of other people. It is never to make them fearful, but to educate them and make them aware of what COULD happen. If they’re aware, they’re less likely to be victimized.
This conversation was filled with so much great information for not only parents, but adults who have children they love or care for. We’re all responsible for watching and helping each other. Enjoy!!
