  • 26: Chapter 23 | The SANE Corner with Shaun Johnson | Kimberly Corban & Kara Robinson Chamberlain

    It's our last episode of season 1! We will announce our season 2 date soon, but rest assured we will still be doing minisodes and having fun on Patreon during our break. 
    Kim and Kara catch up in the midst of travel and Kara shares what she's having! Much to Kim's chagrin, it is NOT a velociraptor. 
    Today's guest is forensic nurse Shaun Johnson. In an SGTC first, you all had the opportunity to submit questions ahead of our conversation. Listen as Shaun answers these and more. 
    Shaun Johnson is a dedicated registered nurse passionate about providing compassionate and patient-centered care to survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, human tracking, and stalking. Shaun has been a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) since 2018. 
    Since becoming a SANE, Shaun has made significant contributions to the field of sexual assault care and advocacy in Maine. His role extends beyond conducting forensic examinations; he also plays a crucial part in educating his community and other healthcare professionals about sexual assault, domestic violence, human trafficking, and stalking prevention and the importance of a trauma-informed approach to care and services provided to survivors.
    Shaun's career as a SANE began in Portland, Maine, where he worked as a registered nurse before specializing in forensic nursing. He developed exceptional clinical skills in assessing and treating victims of sexual assault while training colleagues, throughout the hospital, about the role and the services SANEs provide. 
    In late 2021, Shaun started The SANE Corner Instagram page to create a community and bring awareness and education to social media about forensic nursing. 
    His passion for providing specialized care to vulnerable populations led him to pursue an advanced degree, and is currently procuring a Master’s in Public Health. In addition, Shaun has a passion for breaking the stereotype that men can be SANEs and that more are needed in this field.

  • 25: Chapter 22 | Podcast Movement with Anna Van Valin and Christine O'Donnell | Kimberly Corban & Kara Robinson Chamberlain

    This year, during the world’s largest podcasting conference, a group of survivors and independent producers will be taking the stage with a panel titled, “True Crime Podcasts That Help Not Hurt: How to Produce True Crime Ethically.” Their goal is to start a conversation about changing the way we approach, produce, and commodify these dramatic stories. 
    Ahead of their live Podcast Movement panel, Anna Van Valin and Christine O'Donnell join Kim and Kara on SGTC for a discussion about the state of the true crime genre and what the future holds.

    CTA: Catch their live conversation: “True Crime Podcasts That Help Not Hurt: How to Produce True Crime Ethically” on Tuesday, August 22nd from 2:30-3pm on the Society, Culture and Advocacy Stage at the Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center.

  • 23: Chapter 21 | Shadowed with Julie Whitehead | Kimberly Corban & Kara Robinson Chamberlain

    This episode discusses suicide and suicidal ideation. Some listeners may find this disturbing. If you or someone you know is contemplating self-harm, please, contact your physician, go to your local ER, or call the suicide prevention hotline in your country. For the United States, the numbers are as follows:
    The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255), or message the Crisis Text Line at 741741. Both programs provide free, confidential support 24/7.
     
    This week, Kara owns her right to have, voice, and unapologetically stand by her opinions while Kim talks about running away to a cabin in the mountains for five days.
    Julie Whitehead joins the show to discuss domestic trafficking and surviving a lifetime of gender-based violence.
     
    Julie Whitehead is a survivor of 31 years of abuse, including child sexual abuse, domestic violence, and sex trafficking. Raised in Bountiful, Utah, Julie’s cycle of abuse began at the age of four, continuing through her early teens and into her first marriage.

    Despite years of trauma, Julie is recovering and finds hope in the future with her husband and six children. Today, she’s an advocate for survivors of abuse and sex trafficking and inspires others with her remarkable courage. She’s also an active speaker who focuses on bringing victims out of the shadows.

    Julie serves on an advisory board for the Malouf Foundation™ and consults on a variety of initiatives including OnWatch™, a free digital training that raises community awareness of sex trafficking in the United States.

    Julie recently published her memoir and first book, “Shadowed: How I Became the Sex-Trafficked Mother Next Door.”
