Kim & Kara drop a bonus update episode to kick off 2024. Kara's almost done with growing her tiny human, Kim launched her online merch shop, and aligning our language to reflect our emotions is carrying us into our second year of SGTC.
A special thank you to everyone who has been listening, interacting, sharing, and supporting us throughout our first year of this passion project we call Survivor's Guide. We could not have done this without you, and are grateful for every moment you choose to spend with us.
Here's to sharing this next season of life and SGTC.
Love, K&K

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.

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.
Just because telling ethical true crime isn’t easy, doesn’t mean it can’t be done. That’s why Chamberlain, Corban, Van Valin and O’Donnell teamed up to present a panel on this very topic.
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.
Anna Van Valin is a podcast creator, producer and host; she is a trusted content development consultant and coaches indie/DIY podcasters to help them be heard. She is the executive producer of the upcoming true crime podcast from Bright Sighted Podcasting: https://www.annavanvalin.com/
Christine O'Donnell is a former FOXLA news reporter, Signal Award-winning podcast publisher, and advocate for ethical true crime. She is the creator and host of an upcoming true crime podcast based on her own reporting on an underaged human trafficking ring. www.brightsighted.com

Summer Forlenza LMFT joins Kim & Kara as an expert guest. Talking about trauma-informed mental health, Summer sheds light on popular therapeutic approaches used for survivors and their support persons.
Summer Forlenza helps people to heal from trauma and to support the survivors in their lives so that we can build a world with more compassion, connection, and joy. She does this through her work as a therapist, educator, and facilitator.
Summer graduated with her Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University in 2018. Since then, she has worked with teens in school-based counseling, with the general population in community mental health, and with eating disorder patients at residential, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization levels of care.

Please take time to check in on your friends and family who are victims of stalking. Yesterday's ruling by the Supreme Court ignores the insidious nature of stalking and the harm this crime causes its victims and their communities. Allowing stalkers to argue their actions were not intended to be threatening and thus protected as free speech punishes victims. Threats, intimidation, and unwanted messages should NOT be protected under free speech.
To learn more about the crime of stalking and resources to support survivors, visit https://www.stalkingawareness.org/.
Friend of the show, Anna Nasset interviewed with The Guardian in response to the recent ruling. Read more here: https://www.theguardian.com/law/2023/jun/27/supreme-court-stalking-ruling-alarms-advocates-and-victims

Get ready to feel some feelings this week. Although for Kara, the feelings are mostly nausea. Pregnancy is kicking her butt this time around so the vibes while Kim and Kara play catch up are rather relaxed. Updates on former guests Avremi Zippel and Michael Rourke are on tap as well as SGTC making a pretty cool ethical true crime top ten list.
Benzii Diaz joins Kim and Kara to talk about her experiences as a child and how they impacted her into adulthood. Still early in her recovery journey, Benzii's revelations throughout this raw interview offer a unique look at the oscillating feelings survivors go through on a daily basis.
Benzii Diaz is a survivor of domestic minor sex trafficking. Today, she is a thriving advocate, influencer, and businesswoman. Benzii has dedicated her endeavors to breaking the molds and stigmas of what a survivor is "supposed to be". She has testified at the Pennsylvania State Senate, coordinated drives for the youth and homeless, and has worked with celebrities. Her efforts over the past 6 years have been nationally recognized and she has been deemed one of the most influential women in the tri-state area all before the age of 30.

Kara is back from Italy just in time for Kim to leave for Pebble Beach. Anna Nasset joins K&K for a discussion that could have lasted hours, but brings a crime to light so often shrouded in the dark. Stalking, also known as "slow-motion homicide" rarely allows its survivors to speak publicly, but thanks to Anna's gut instincts, diligent investigators, and a prosecution team willing to seek the maximum penalty, Anna has the ability to educate, speak, write, and live her life freely while her stalker is incarcerated. Hear about the trauma manifestations and ways she has overcome consistent obstacles in the face of this insidious crime.
Anna Nasset is best known as an international speaker on the subject of stalking. As a victim/survivor of stalking for the last decade, Anna has firsthand experience of how to identify and respond to stalking. She has trained thousands of professionals, students, and military members on the importance of recognizing stalking, getting help, and advocating for one's self and others.
She is one of the very few people who can speak openly about her experience after the man who stalked her received the maximum sentence for stalking, 10 years in prison, in 2019. This is one of the longest-known sentences for stalking in USA history.

In the first question-and-answer episode of SGTC, Kim and Kara take listener questions. Some of the topics include communicating your needs and asking for help before its too late. Grief processing doesn't always just mean death and solo travel tips where feeling the feels makes an appearance. Kim would have two nickels and explains why that's not a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
Both Kim and Kara were apparently raised on NASCAR, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and America's Most Wanted.
This one is all over the place in the best of ways.

Nachos are Kara's favorite food, and you'll all be asking "is the cheese throughout?" the next time you order them. Early interwebs videos, college jobs, and hoping Terry Crews will grace the podcast with an interview someday start this chapter off on an eclectic note before introducing today's guest.
Avremi Zippel joins Kim and Kara for a conversation you'll probably want to listen to a few times to digest all of the wisdom this survivor imparts. His journey through reclaiming his voice, healing his inner child, and forging a new path toward justice for survivors like him provides a unique message that is compassionately delivered.
Rabbi Avremi Zippel was born in Toronto, Canada and moved to Salt Lake City with his parents, in July of 1992. He attended a Jewish High School in Chicago, and attended Rabbinical College in London, England. Rabbi Zippel participated in Jewish outreach and humanitarian missions, in Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Wales, and numerous cities throughout the U.S. He was ordained at the Rabbinical College of America in Morristown, NJ by the Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi I.M. Lau, in December of 2013. He married Sheina in January of 2014, and together they moved to Utah later that year, when they created Young Jewish Professionals Utah. They are the proud parents of two adorable little boys.
In February of 2019, Rabbi Zippel publicly came forward about the decade of sexual abuse he had endured at the hands of a childhood caretaker. He is believed to be the first Orthodox Rabbi to publicly speak out about sexual abuse in his past. Since then, Rabbi Zippel has taken a leadership role in combating sexual abuse in religious communities around the world and advocating for survivors. Rabbi Zippel serves his community as the Crime Victim Representative on the Utah Council for Victims of Crime, and was recognized as the Child Advocate of the Year in 2021 by Prevent Child Abuse Utah. His story has been shared in numerous formats, most recently in Aly Raisman: Darkness to Light, a made-for-TV special that aired on Lifetime. He is a sought-after lecturer and mentor to communities around the world. Avremi’s long-awaited memoir, entitled 'Not What I Expected' is now available for preorder and is due to hit shelves in May of 2023.

The ladies had a busy week full of advocacy and speaking. Kara trained the crew at Audio Chuck on ethics in true crime and Kim was the closing keynote for EVAWI's annual conference in Chicago. Favorite ice cream flavors, haircuts, rabid internet piercing enthusiasts, and the correct pronunciation of 'measurement' are hot topics before SGTC is deemed the "female gaze" of podcast shows. Also, shoutout to Pedro Pascal because…well… he's Pedro Pascal.
Tanya Gould joins Kim and Kara this week for an intimate dive into a type of victimization seemingly encompassing all violent crimes, all at once, over and over.

What did the buffalo say to his son when he left for college…
Kara's been galivanting around the country delivering keynotes and Kim has been…editing. It's fine. They're fine. Discussion of the TikTok hearings and positive impacts the app has had on Kim and Kara's lives kick off this episode before Catie Reay joins the conversation.
Don't mind the pitter patter of little feet, and what one child would later describe as "a very big picture" falling down in the background. It's all in a happily chaotic day's work for Catie Reay. Catie is a mother of four from Wyoming and in all of her tons of spare time, is also fielding an internet worth of advocacy. She joins Kim and Kara to share her harrowing tale of surviving a religious cult, enduring years of abuse, and healing her own inner child. Unabashedly taking social media platforms and the U.S. government to task, Catie is leading the way for followers to get involved in legislation benefitting survivors, especially children. She is going places, and she's taking all of us along with her.
Catie is a CSA survivor and advocate to the sexually exploited and human trafficked.
She uses her social media to educate, elevate survivor stories and uses public pressure to invoke change.
