Real. Relatable‪.‬ Donna Greene

This was probably the hardest episode I ever had to record. For Sexual Assault Awareness Month, I share and reflect on both sexual trauma that has resurfaced as well as a recent assault.

The last several months have been a time of working towards healing, acknowledging 12-year old Donna, and figuring out how I really give myself grace in the wake of immense shame from sexual trauma. To everyone who has reached out, brave enough to share their own story with me or provided support for me - I see you, I appreciate you, I hear you.

On this episode of Real. Relatable., Donna welcomes Jovaan Lumpkin, a warrior on his sobriety journey of 318 days (as of this recording). Jovaan doesn't hold back to share his story from the beginning of a childhood with a matriarchal head of the household, the turn to alcohol and later venture into drugs. The journey to recovery wasn't easy, but he wouldn't have it any other way to get to where he is today. 

Have you or a loved one faced the challenges of addiction? Understandably, it can be a scary and uncertain time for everyone involved. What's the correct route to take to get yourself or your loved one help?

Co-parenting can be as easy or hard of a journey as those involved make it. Unfortunately, society is set up where most are not as amicable as they could/should be. Yes, there is a lot of nuance as to why couples split and result in co-parenting. No, it doesn't have to be hard. Yes, there are situations that make it extremely challenging for one or both parties involved (which can be very disheartening).
This episode, Donna chats with her ex-husband, John on how they make co-parenting work. This dynamic is an anomaly, but they wouldn't have it any other way.

How is the culture in law enforcement shaped? Why would someone who devoted themself to protect and serve aid in the discourse of terrorism in Buffalo? How didn’t the officers in Uvalde not intervene more?

In this episode, Trent, a trusted friend of the podcast and law enforcement officer, goes into depth of how the culture of law enforcement is shaped at each branch and how the tragic cluster of Uvalde devastated the country.

Every mass shooting is shockingly unnerving, disheartening and causes immense sorrow nation wide. The pure acts of evil plague what we acclaim to be the best country on earth. Loving one’s country does not excuse her from ridicule. What level of discomfort do we need to obtain to make the radical change we need to see?
