  • I'm Jen - a white, cisgendered, straight-identifying, American-born woman with a history of Christian and conservative influences. My lived experience is one of solid economic security and educational privilege. All of this shaped the lens through which I viewed life for the majority of my adult years - and it created a comfortable echo chamber where “my existing views were neatly reinforced and alternative ideas were rarely considered…” This no longer works for me. I decided to pursue meaningful work, passion projects, and relationships that would serve as "antidotes to the echo chamber." This podcast is part of that work. Rather than put people in stereotypical boxes - I want to grow more curious and open minded. This means listening deeply to another person’s perspective, especially those who differ from me. It means challenging my old paradigms and assumptions. I pursue this on a public platform because I want to foster this mindset shift in our culture. My guests and I believe that conversations heard here will spur more healthy exchanges, marked by a spirit of inquiry with and for the people in our lives (especially those whom we don’t know or understand yet). Join the conversation.

  • From Amish to Empowered; one voice liberates others

    From Amish to Empowered; one voice liberates others
    2024/11/25

    I am “on the couch” in conversation with Saloma Fisher who lived until age 32 in a conservative Amish community; we covered stuff that shocked me right out of my own misconceptions. Yes, there are the typical things many are aware of…no cars, modern conveniences, outside influences, music, or TV. BUT, the drinking, partying and “bed courting” that begins for some Amish youth around age 16? Lesser known.

    Saloma and I also talk about what being ex-communicated from your family and community feels like along with how she started over as a single parent with an 8th grade education and no knowledge of how to pay bills, take a job, and so on.

    Saloma loves deeply and is a woman of incredible faith despite being told she was going to “hell” in a community where you can only hope to be good enough through your works to merit heaven.

    She helps me understand the coexistence of being oppressed and living fearfully in a prescribed role AND feeling safe and secure in a loving community and faith practice. While she does not speak for every person who identifies as Amish - her experience is illuminating and provides incredible hope to any person who dreams for bigger things and is determined to have a sense of control in their own life.

    Saloma Fisher BIO: I was born and raised in NW Pennsylvania in an Amish culture. I am the proud mom of 6 kids, 5 girls and 1 boy, and a grandma to 2 precious grandchildren with a 3rd on the way! I am an entrepreneur and a visionary at heart and founded Cup of Hope Ministries - a nonprofit organization that helps teen and single moms locally. I am also in the process of opening Cup of Hope Cafe - a small coffee shop and bakery where 10% of the profits flow into our nonprofit to benefit moms directly.

    I love all things coffee, friends and community. And most of all, Jesus, the one who set me free from bondage and has given me a love for others.

  • A different kind of matching platform: connecting sexual assault survivors

    A different kind of matching platform: connecting sexual assault survivors
    2024/10/08
    We got passionate and informed in this episode.I had the honor of hosting @TracyDeTomasi, CEO of Callisto, a survivor-founded nonprofit that has been able to create an encrypted platform allowing sexual assault survivors to find others harmed by the same perpetrator, without requiring them to report or come forward publicly. With a match in the Callisto Vault system, survivors receive free and confidential legal options counseling. This is a win-win-win and yet – with all of the money and resources in the world - Callisto is at risk of closing their doors. How can this be?We dive into a very REAL conversation about what’s at stake. Activist, educator and Jeffrey Epstein survivor, Jess Michaels, underscores the fact that surviving sexual assault is difficult on many levels - but it is made a bit easier when you aren’t alone in it; Callisto is a force for healing in that sense.The three of us converse boldly about the REAL good being done and the voices and financial backing needed to continue that important work. Join me, Jess, Tracy and the team as we imagine a world in which survivors of sexual violence are supported and empowered to find healing and justice on their own terms. We hope you will join in this important conversation…Resources mentioned in this episode:TED Talk: The reporting system that sexual assault survivors want | Jessica Laddhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orumugzJpt0Previous season episodes with guest, Jess Michaels:Surviving Epstein; Normalizing Our Response to Sexual Assault - part 1https://www.listenforreal.com/surviving-epstein-normalizing-our-response-to-sexual-assault-part-1/Surviving Epstein; Normalizing Our Response to Sexual Assault - part 2https://www.listenforreal.com/surviving-epstein-normalizing-our-response-to-sexual-assault-part-2/Our Guests:Tracy DeTomasiTracy has held leadership positions over the past 20 years, across the nonprofit sector, where she developed and implemented trauma-informed programming and curricula. She was instrumental in changing domestic violence laws in the US and has worked on projects globally with The Commonwealth of Nations, Ecuador, Australia, The United Kingdom, South Africa, and Ghana. Previously, Tracy was the Co-Founder of Good People Collective, the Interim Executive Director at NO MORE, and the VP of Domestic Violence Services at the YWCA.As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Tracy has extensive experience working in the field of gender-based violence, giving her a deep understanding of the ecosystem of survivors, offenders, and allies. She has consulted with organizations to develop tech-based tools, such as an app that educates users about violence against women, a smartphone device for sexual violence prevention safety, and virtual reality trainings to address Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and Anti-Sexual Harassment.Website: https://www.projectcallisto.org/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/callisto/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/callistoorgLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/callisto-tech-to-combat-sexual-assault/ Jess Michaels is a dance industry professional with 30 years experience as a performer, educator, and entrepreneur.She is also a 1991 survivor of sexual assault by Jeffrey Epstein and childhood sexual abuse. Shockingly, her healing journey began December 14, 2012, after she and her hometown of Newtown CT were devastated by the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Jess not only witnessed the impact of mass tragedy all around her but also experienced the full force of her past trauma catching up to her. In 2015, Jess found immense purpose and hope when she joined Dylan’s Wings of Change, a foundation dedicated to Dylan Hockley, one of the first-grade victims in the mass shooting. She helped develop the Wingman program for dance studios, sports, and schools and her work as a speaker & educator on empathy, inclusion, and community-building began. It was there in Newtown, teaching dance classes and working alongside brave parents who lost their children, Jess began to connect the value of shame-free, community-based early trauma intervention to the needs of sexual assault survivors.The 2019 arrest of Epstein motivated her to finally confront her past. Breaking her #MeToo silence, she channeled her own healing journey into action.Today, she's the founder and driving force behind 3Joannes SAFR—a groundbreaking Sexual Assault First Aid Certification Course and SA First Aid Kit (mobile app). Through her work, Jess equips communities with the tools to minimize the devastating long-term effects of sexual violence.Her ultimate goal? To ensure no one else loses decades shackled by the ghosts of unprocessed trauma, as she did.Website: https://www.jessmichaelsspeaks.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/jessmichaelsspeaksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessmichaelsspeaks?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app About Jen Oliver:I pursue and ...
