Sextortionists Convinced My Son to Take His Life - Jennifer Buta
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?
Topics in this episode include suicide, coercion, grief

In September 2022 Vanessa Burns’ partner Myles Sanderson became one of Canada’s most infamous mass killers.

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.

Can you be in love with someone whose character you barely recognize? What self care practises get her through the hard times? Follow Lindsay and her family on TikTok @lindsaywadmankelly

Growing Up Abused and Unwanted - Brad Keck
Brad Keck grew up in a broken home. He was bounced back and forth between his parents, grandparents and extended family, eventually ending up in a foster group home for children. What happened in all those homes? Why did no one make him feel wanted and how did that affect his adult years? I went to school for a couple years with Brad and always wondered about him. Then one day I saw his name in an article in my local news paper 'Man severely burned in house explosion doubly punished'.
Topics in this episode include abuse, trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation
