    Tracie's mother was Judy

    Please note that this episode of What Was That Like has a content warning, for discussion of suicide. Do you remember when you were seven years old? At that age, your biggest concerns are playing with your friends, learning new things at school, riding your bike, and what to put on your Christmas list. At least that’s how it is for a lot of kids. And that’s pretty much how it was for Tracie, who you’re about to hear from. She got along with her older brother and sister, and she loved her mom and dad. To anyone who knew the family, everything seemed fine. But one day, Tracie’s mom made a decision that no one expected – and it changed their family forever. If you’d like to contact Tracie, her website is: https://meetmeridian.co/ Full show notes and pictures for this episode are here: https://WhatWasThatLike.com/266 Graphics for this episode by Bob Bretz.

    Ryan prepped a child for court

    I’ve never had to testify in court. If I’m ever in a courtroom, I hope it will be as a juror. That hasn’t happened yet, but I’m still hopeful. For many people, having to appear in court, in front of a judge, and a jury, and maybe a room full of people, can be really nerve-wracking. Every word you say is going into the official record, and you’re under oath – what if you say something wrong, or you remember something incorrectly? There could be a lot at stake, and it could depend on YOUR testimony. But lawyers know that. And the lawyer that’s on your side, whether you’re the plaintiff or the defendant, is probably going to give you some helpful advice about how to handle the situation. For my guest today, Ryan, that was part of his job. Today he’s gonna tell the story of when he had to prepare someone to testify in court. This young person was the victim of a sexual assault, so yes, there’s a content warning for this episode. For Ryan, it’s difficult enough to prepare an adult for what to expect in a courtroom. In this case, he was working on behalf of a seven year old child. And what he learned after prosecuting this case is something he never would have expected. If you’d like to contact Ryan: Website:  https://thebaggagepodcast.com/ Universal link: https://thebaggagepodcast.com/listen Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559706070847 Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/thebaggagepodcast/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@TheBaggagePodcast Full show notes and pictures for this episode are here: https://WhatWasThatLike.com/265 Graphics for this episode by Bob Bretz.
