Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com Today I’m so honored to introduce you all to: Satanic ritual abuse, mind control, and organized abuse survivor, overcomer, and now whistleblower, devoted wife and loving mother to 4-going-on-5-children, Nurse Practitioner, homemaker, homeschooler and home-birther, holistic healing, healthy food and cooking, and wellness lover, gardener, writer and blogger on Substack, social media content creator, SRA educator, and the brightest light in the darkness: Vanesa Judd A little bit about Vanesa and what you can expect to hear about on today’s episode: Born on March 15 - the Ides of March - into a lineage where trauma stretched back multiple generations on both sides of her family, she entered the world through a traumatic birth. In deep therapeutic work years later, Vanesa accessed the raw emotion of that arrival: an intense, thrashing reluctance to be born, as if some part of her already sensed the type of life she was about to enter. She was the eldest of five siblings. On her father’s side ran military intelligence, church history, and roots tracing through the Cannon-McGinnis line to Gaelic origins and the Isle of Man. Her grandfather, a historian and former Pentagon consultant, and her father - a Green Beret - carried the weight of service and, she believes, deeper dissociation and mind-control patterning. On her mother’s side, the story held war trauma, physical and sexual abuse, and stories of occult practice, altars, and fear. Both lines held conscious and trauma-driven participation in the same ritualistic abuse that she experienced as a child. Outwardly, her childhood looked like military moves, good schools, and opportunity. She was the quiet, somber “Little Bear” with big brown eyes and rare smiles - yet she excelled in everything she did - creating an optical illusion that made her abuse invisible from the outside looking in. Gifted programs, competitive sports, cheerleading, track, cross-country, state and local beauty pageant titles in Miss America and Miss USA, a 4.0, and the perfectionism of someone who learned early that being “good” and invisible was safer. Then at night after a full schedule of electives, sports, and school, rituals would occur with drives from a Bountiful, Utah home into the hands of a hidden cult network. The memories that Vanesa had dissociated began flooding back in February of this year and were vivid, detailed and overwhelming. For the first time, she felt she did not want to live. A blessing and the sudden, clear thought - “This is not just about you” - shifted everything. She realized she was not alone and that others were still trapped or newly remembering. Today Vanesa is a Family Nurse Practitioner who spent nearly a decade as an RN before specializing in primary care and women’s health and nutrition via telehealth. She is the mother of four - and soon to be five - children whom she homeschools, tending garden, meals, and home systems while preparing for the December birth of her newest child. She speaks out now because secrecy is the soil in which such evil grows - and light and awareness starve it. She wants family members and friends of survivors to recognize the language when it appears so they can say, “I have heard of this - tell me more,” rather than shut the door. Her counsel to other survivors is simple and hard-won: first believe and accept your own story; then look outward. The knowledge gained by enduring can be turned toward healing others. For helpers, the greatest gift is listening without immediate judgment and educating themselves so the “fantastical” becomes understandable. Vanesa did not choose the multi-generational inheritance that nearly claimed her. She has chosen, again and again, to meet it with honesty, professional skill, maternal devotion, and a voice that refuses to stay silent. In doing so she models what is possible: that the child who once thrashed against being born, who carried invisible wounds while collecting trophies and titles, who faced the return of the unspeakable and still rose to care for her children and others, can become a beacon of hope. Her message is not that the darkness was small; it is that light, once carried, multiplies. Survivors are not only those who endured - they are those who, having survived, choose to light the path for the next ones. And Vanesa walks that path - proving that the cycles can break and that purpose can be born even from the Ides. 🔗CONNECT WITH VANESA: IG: https://www.instagram.com/vanesanicoljudd/ SUBSTACK:https://substack.com/@vanesanicol 🔗CONNECT WITH EMMA: YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficial RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcast EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.com SUBSTACK: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/ BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimagination VENMO: @emmapreneur CASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204 ALL LINKS: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcast The Starter | Music, Memory & the Songs We KeepYou hear a song, and a memory opens up.
