Episode 80: Cesar Quintana - Bring Alexander home

One of a parents' many duties to their children is to keep them safe. One of their worst nightmares is having their child abducted, and that's what has happened to today's guest, Cesar Quintana. Cesars son, Alexander, was abducted at the age of 2 by his mother who fled to her native country, the Ukraine, right before the war. Since then, Cesar has tried everything to get his son back, for which he was granted full custody of by an Orange County, California court Judge. The International Abduction rules don't apply in some countries, and that's the case here. Alexander is now in Russia, and they aren't about to do anything.
What can you do to help bring Alexander home to his father? If you know anyone in Russian government who might be sympathetic to Cesar's case, please reach out to them and to Cesar. Spread the word and sign the petition. The US government must become more involved in these child abduction cases. There are over 1,000 of these per year in the USA. It's time to take action to protect these children.

Episode 75: Jo Berry Bridges can be built - Disarming a terrorist who killed your father using empathy and forgiveness

There are terrible acts of injustice and violence happening across the globe every day. In today's episode, we visit one such case that occurred in 1984 in the IRA conflict. Five people were killed and several more injured during a terrorist bombing. Our guest lost her father during that bombing. But instead of blaming and hating, she decided to meet the man accused of killing her father to see if there was some humanity left in him.
This episode talks about how we should all treat one another, despite some of the terrible things that have happened. Perhaps if we did that those terrible things would stop happening and people's lives will be changed. I can attest that that does happen more than you might know.
Jo's bio:
Jo Berry is an inspiring speaker who works to resolve conflicts around the world. Sixteen years after an IRA bomb killed her father in 1984, Jo first met with the man responsible, Pat Magee. This initial three-hour meeting led to them speaking on over three hundred occasions on a shared platform worldwide. Their unusual relationship has been told in the BBC documentary “Facing the Enemy”, was featured in the film “Beyond Right and Wrong”, and inspired “The Bomb”, a play by Kevin Dyer.
The founder of the charity ‘Building Bridges for Peace’, Jo, advocates that unbounded empathy is the biggest weapon we have to transform conflict. With political, religious and racial divides deepening as global and local events unfold, her words offer a message of hope and encourage us all to see the humanity in others.
Jo is frequently invited to address international conferences and seminars on themes of reconciliation, conflict resolution and sustainable peace.  She has spoken and facilitated workshops worldwide, including Lebanon, Rwanda, India, Ireland, Palestine, South Korea,  Israel, and throughout Europe. She has also spoken in venues in the UK and joined panels and discussions forums on radio and TV. Her unique work in reconciliation has become a source of learning for many studying peace studies and conflict transformation worldwide.
Over the few last­ years, Jo has developed workshops and courses in the workplace on ‘finding the gift in conflict’, ‘having a difficult conversation’ and ‘dealing with uncertainty’ and now works virtually as well in person. She is a TEDx speaker and a Visiting Fellow with the University of Nottingham (Research Primary Area in Rights and Justice).

Episode 74: Ashley Michelle - Overcoming PTSD - An ongoing journey of hope and recovery

Post-traumatic stress is a mental health condition that affects so many people. Some are unaware that they are suffering from it and just can't explain why they're feeling the way that they are. Traumatic experiences from our past can stay with us if we don't do something to deal with them. It's important to get the help that you need in order to deal with those past traumas.
In this episode, our guest shares her traumatic experience of having been summoned to a home following a homicide to help clear the blood and body. She also found herself as potentially the next victim of this murderer. Listen in as she talks about this horrific incident and what she's doing to recover and help those who have experienced traumas in the past.
Ashley's message to us:
"My name is Ashley Michelle and have gone through things that I wouldn’t want anyone else to go through, including being assaulted and not only being a witness to a murder scene where my ex-boyfriend had just killed someone I knew of, but he locked the door behind me and told me I was next.
Thankfully I escaped, but, from that moment, my life has been filled with PTSD, depression, and anxiety.
Instead of this taking over my life, I chose to talk about what happened to me, but more importantly, about my healing process so I can inspire people to change their lives after going through their own tough times.
I want someone to look at me and say, because of you, I didn't give up!"
