    EP16: Kenzie St George Social Worker, Overcoming Domestic Violence

    How Domestic Violence Affects Children: Resilience, Cycles of Violence, and Empowerment On the Irene Podcast, licensed clinical social worker and certified Utah DV provider Kenzie Bradshaw Betancur discusses domestic violence as an ongoing “atmosphere” that affects families and children, drawing on her experience at a Children’s Justice Center and her current work with both survivors and people who have used violence in court-involved treatment. She shares statistics from the Office of Women’s Health (one in six children witness physical assault of a parent or important adult; boys who see their mother abused are 10 times more likely to abuse female partners) and references the ACE study linking higher scores to smoking, alcoholism, and drug use, while noting resilience improves when a child has at least one supportive adult. The conversation emphasizes education as empowerment, accountability without excusing harm, barriers to leaving (safety, finances, childcare, isolation), and using the Irene app to recognize abuse and reframe communication. The host shares her own abuse, divorce, forgiveness/acceptance, spirituality, and the role of support systems and self-worth in healing. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:27 Kenzie Background and CJC Work 01:59 Adoption Story and Inspiration 03:08 From Advocacy to Therapy Roles 04:44 Working With Those Using Violence 07:41 Empowerment and Tools Like Irene 11:28 DV as an Atmosphere and Training 12:56 Key Stats and ACE Resilience 17:10 Why Leaving Is So Dangerous 20:50 Men and Stigma in DV 24:32 Irene for Awareness and Change 27:46 Tactics vs Dynamics and Root Causes 29:37 Victim Roles and Patterns 30:07 Love Bombing and Breadcrumbs 30:49 Breaking Point and Clean Exit 33:15 Forgiveness as Freedom 36:32 Acceptance and Taking Power 39:45 Building Resilience with Support 42:41 Resources and Self Empowerment 48:46 Silencing Doubt with Truths 53:49 Reclaiming Worth and Faith 59:07 Healthy Conflict vs Abuse 01:00:41 Next Life Chapter and Closing Kenzie Bradshaw Betancur: https://www.instagram.com/kenziebtherapy?igsh=MTR0cHp0MXcyZzNsbQ== Irenegpt.ai Website: https://irenegpt.ai/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/irenegpt.ai?igsh=MWdwNTh0eTZ0aHNpaA== TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@irenegpt.ai?_r=1&_t=ZP-91vwytSGovf Youtube: https://youtube.com/@IreneGPT?si=8An_BfZ7YKOu3BOT

    EP:15 Dr. Steve on Trauma, Healing, and Your Overall Health

    How Trauma Rewires the Brain and Practical Ways to Heal the Body On the Irene Podcast, Dr. Steve with Kaizen Health (family medicine and obesity medicine) explains that abuse and trauma create biological brain changes, especially a hyperactive amygdala and downregulated prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, which can make past trauma feel present and drive PTSD-like physical responses. He discusses chronic stress and cortisol effects such as insomnia, pain, inflammation, anxiety, depression, attention issues, and coping behaviors including substance use and overeating, noting links between adverse childhood events (ACEs) and obesity while acknowledging genetics can be influenced by lifestyle. Dr Steve emphasizes neuroplasticity and improving vagal tone through exercise (about 150 minutes/week), deep breathing, humming, vibration, and cold water exposure, and describes heart rate variability. He advises patients they don’t need to disclose trauma details to seek help, encourages finding the right provider, and highlights foundational health pillars, gut-brain connection, therapy modalities, mindset, and self-compassion to release guilt and support healing. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:11 Why Trauma Runs Deep 01:39 Brain Changes From Trauma 04:23 PTSD and Body Reactions 05:28 Neuroplasticity and Healing 07:20 Chronic Stress Symptoms 08:14 Coping Behaviors and Food 09:21 ACEs and Obesity Genetics 11:47 Vagus Nerve Basics 13:21 Heart Rate Variability 15:07 Breathwork and Humming 18:10 Cold Plunge Recovery 21:06 Longevity Docuseries 21:27 Cold Plunge Benefits 21:44 Trauma Care Advocacy 24:15 Finding the Right Doctor 25:10 Lifestyle Medicine Basics 26:24 Gut Brain Connection 27:52 Somatic Therapy Modalities 29:26 Mindset and Placebo 30:29 Exercise for Mental Health 36:37 Self Compassion Healing 38:06 Growth Through Resistance 41:26 Final Takeaways Thanks DR STEVE: WEBSITE: https://kzn.health/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thekaizen_md?igsh=dHgzZDN3OXVsbXo1 Irenegpt.ai Website: https://irenegpt.ai/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/irenegpt.ai?igsh=MWdwNTh0eTZ0aHNpaA== TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@irenegpt.ai?_r=1&_t=ZP-91vwytSGovf Youtube: https://youtube.com/@IreneGPT?si=8An_BfZ7YKOu3BOT

    EP14: Breaking Generational Patterns: Tineise with Kindness In Motion

    From Teen Mom to Kindness in Motion: Tineise on Breaking Cycles, Finding Purpose, and Building Community In part two of the Irene Podcast, Tineise shares how getting pregnant at 17 prompted an overnight shift toward motherhood and a desire to break generational patterns, though early parenting and relationships were messy, including leaving her daughter’s dad after police involvement and later divorcing in 2018. She describes returning to college at Utah Tech for criminal justice while raising two kids, running a business, and exploring psychology, ultimately rejecting “boxed-in” career limits to create Kindness in Motion, launched about two months ago and growing rapidly in the last six weeks. Tineise discusses overcoming fear and imposter syndrome by accepting she’s “messy” and “weird,” inspired partly by her son’s perspective, and emphasizes collaboration, community, and focusing on “what can we do.” She advises trauma survivors to find a trusted person to talk to, and wraps it up with Irene, a trauma-informed AI on their website for support. 00:00 Teen Pregnancy Turning Point 01:06 Breaking Generational Patterns 02:49 Messy Early Motherhood 04:44 Finding Her Voice 06:40 Letting Go of Fear 11:13 Divorce and Back to School 13:07 No Box Kindness Mission 14:52 Kindness in Motion Launch 18:14 Collaboration and Community 21:09 Embracing Weirdness 25:39 Finding Your People 25:57 A Walk That Changed Everything 26:53 Collaboration Over Money 27:48 Bring Back Community 29:18 Trauma Into Growth 29:59 Rewriting Your Identity 30:40 It Is Okay To Start Over 33:04 Try Everything First 34:53 Turn Off The News 37:23 Introverts And Extroverts 39:40 Advice For Healing 40:17 Find Your Person 42:41 When You Cannot Talk 44:32 Breaking The Silence 47:37 Building Community Again 50:33 AI For Good Irene 52:12 Where To Find Kindness In Motion 52:42 Final Thanks And Blessing Kindness In Motion: Website: https://kindnessinmotion.ngo/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kindnessinmotion.ngo?igsh=MTdqYWM3c2ZzbHBjMg== Irenegpt.ai Website: https://irenegpt.ai/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/irenegpt.ai?igsh=MWdwNTh0eTZ0aHNpaA== TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@irenegpt.ai?_r=1&_t=ZP-91vwytSGovf Youtube: https://youtube.com/@IreneGPT?si=8An_BfZ7YKOu3BOT

    Nikki Jones on Childhood Abuse, Healing, and Finding Worth Through Faith On the Irene Podcast, Nikki Jones shares her story of early childhood trauma after her parents’ divorce, including severe abuse by her stepmother while living with her father from about ages 4–9, time overseas in Okinawa, and never seeing her father again after leaving at age nine to live with her mother. She describes lasting effects such as fear of vomiting, insecurity about being lovable, social anxiety, emotional suppression, and coping with stress through binge eating, with later triggers including a mistaken-identity arrest at an airport and her son’s serious health crisis.

    EP12: Surviving a Polygamous Cult, Family Abuse, and Finding Purpose Through Kindness in Motion

    This Is Tineise’s Story In this episode of the Irene Podcast, host Hope interviews Tineise Davenport, with the nonprofit Kindness in Motion. Tineise explains she grew up in a polygamous cult environment connected to multiple fundamentalist groups (including Centennial Park, FLDS/Colorado City, and the AUB), describing secrecy, fear of government, and strict gender expectations that discouraged girls from asking questions. She recounts that in July 1993, when she was five, her mother was life-flighted to a Salt Lake City hospital after an incident Tineise was later told involved falling from a truck, a story she came to believe did not make sense. Tineise describes how her father remarried in September 1993 to Lenora (his secretary), who moved in with five children while still married to someone else, and how Tineise’s mother later returned home awake but paralyzed and unable to speak. Tineise details severe abuse in the household, including witnessing her brother being beaten unconscious, and her mother had to watch the abuse while immobilized; her mother died when Tineise was seven. As a neglected and angry child, Tineise began sneaking out and spending time with boys from Colorado City who later became known as the “Lost Boys,” running away multiple times; at 13 she reached Hurricane, was arrested for breaking into a friend’s family’s house, and was sentenced to two weeks in juvenile detention. A guardian ad litem, Angela Adams, investigated abuse concerns and helped place Tineise in her maternal grandmother’s custody at a remote polygamist-affiliated ranch in the Utah desert, where Tineise learned independence skills but later returned to her father and ran away again. Between roughly 15–18, she describes heavy drinking, smoking, living with or around Lost Boys in St. George, and feeling abandoned, while noting an uncle helped her by providing a car even though she was unlicensed. Then Tineise became pregnant and says her daughter “saved” her by prompting her to stop drinking and smoking and focus on being a mother; she later left the child’s father around the time her daughter was one due to an unhealthy relationship. Tineise also shares she learned years later that her mother had planned to tell Tineise’s father she wanted a divorce shortly before the trip in 1993. Tineise will be back to continue her story and connect it to her nonprofit. Tineise briefly describes Kindness in Motion as focused on community connection linking people in need with those who can help and “bringing back the village” motivated by her belief that spreading love and kindness helps people heal. 00:47 Growing Up in a Polygamous Cult: The Groups, Secrecy, and Control 04:13 1993: Mom’s “Accident,” Hospital Visit, and a Sudden New Wife 07:43 Mom Returns Home Paralyzed: Living Through Abuse and Silence 10:44 The Story Doesn’t Add Up: Questioning the “Fell From the Truck” Explanation 14:19 Angry Childhood & Neglect: Sneaking Out, Being Raised by Siblings 20:03 Lost Boys & Desert Nights: Disappearing to Survive 22:54 Why Running Away Worked This Time: Making It to Hurricane 24:28 Lost Boys, Desert Nights, and a Risky Place to Hide 25:50 Arrested at 13: Breaking & Entering, Court, and Juvenile Detention 28:21 New Custody, New Isolation: Life at Sanctuary Ranch 32:43 Found Family: Living with the Lost Boys (and an Uncle Who Helped) 38:01 Two Weeks Before 18: Pregnancy That Turned Her Life Around 40:07 Motherhood, Leaving a Bad Relationship, and Becoming Like Her Mom 43:19 Wrap-Up: Kindness in Motion + Next Episode part 2 Irenegpt.ai Website: https://irenegpt.ai/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/irenegpt.ai?igsh=MWdwNTh0eTZ0aHNpaA== TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@irenegpt.ai?_r=1&_t=ZP-91vwytSGovf Youtube: https://youtube.com/@IreneGPT?si=8An_BfZ7YKOu3BOT
