The JenCarole Show | Democracy 2.0 The Reckoning

Kris Pedretti asked me to do a presentation I'd done privately for a few folks. It applies what I learned as a Life Coach to how we live with the pain of trauma. I suggest ways to use feelings of worthlessness or anger to move you forward. Let me know what you think! If you want to see the images/slides I used, here's the link. Episode 65 | Feb 9, 2021

Kris is a survivor of Joe DeAngelo and is working to give voice to victims of sexual assault. Her private group on Facebook is a wonderful place to share, find support or just hang out. I love this woman! Here's her video.   Episode 64 | Recorded Dec 18, 2020, posted Feb 5, 2021  

I'm back. Podcasting is hard in a pandemic! Today we talk about Joseph DeAngelo and Corcoran State Prison - his new home. I also assign some homework for upcoming shows so you're ready to dig in with me! Episode 63 | February 2, 2021

I start the pod talking about Kris Pedretti's group and how it's growing. Then a closer look at the Missing Cases of JJD and the progress we're making there. Finally, a quick discussion of a California proposition expanding DNA. They make the mistake of associating it with DeAngelo. Nope, that's not how it worked.

You saw Gay and Bob on the HBO show I'll Be Gone in the Dark. You heard her powerful "paper" metaphor in her victim impact statement. Now hear what was behind those powerful moments. She also shares a scenario that was extremely painful for her. 

These amazing women who worked as hospice nurses for our nation's soldiers share what they've learned about trauma and the key to healing. While on their deathbeds, these soldiers experienced many of the same things that reveal a pattern for overcoming trauma - including sexual abuse and assault. This was an amazing discussion.

The controversy over the movie Cuties missed the point. While Netflix hopelessly botched the marketing of the movie in the United States, the reality is the director made the movie to address the way we sexualize our young girls. It's a problem we need to address and it's possible watching this movie will start the conversation. Watch the film and then let me know what you think! Episode 59 | Sept...

Ep 58 | August 26, 2020 | Lots of little threads from last week and over the weekend I wanted to follow-up on so we're all on the same page. Last episode of "Season 2" of the Lawyer's Daughter. Wow. I'll be back after Labor Day. As always, visit me at LawyersDaughter.com . Happy Conviction everyone!

Ep 57| August 21, 2020 | Sentencing of Joe DeAngelo Debrief. We discuss what we saw, heard, and think about what happened today. WE ARE FREE!

Murder Thursday - with victims from California speaking about the murders committed by Joseph DeAngelo, the Golden State Killer, East Area Rapist, Visalia Ransacker. Here's the rundown and a bit of background about my personal journey.

Ep 55 | August 19, 2020 | Rape Victims rfrom the other jurisdictions shared their statements today. Once again, a little unexpected delight. I believe you can see them via KCRA archive, link below. In today's post-hearing discussion, we learn what DeAngelo said AFTER the judge gaveled the recess. Here are our stories! KCRA Archive: http://bit.ly/VictimStatements

WARNING: Explicit Content. Not for children. Ep 54 | Aug 19, 2020 | Larry Crompton worked on the Rapist Task Force in Contra Costa County during the East Area Rapist years. He wrote a book, Sudden Terror, where he uses private, personal information to tell the story of the crimes. His book is an outstanding example of bias, exploitation and using victim's pain for personal enrichment (profit). In...

WARNING: Because I'm trying to go really fast, I'm posting without music, without any editing. This is funny and serious and everything you'd expect. Includes technical difficulties. Enjoy!  Sacramento Rape Victims shared their statements today. I believe you can see them via KCRA archive, link below. We talked, struggled with technology and shared gossip in this post hearing discussion. Here are...

I'm sure you're shocked. The question is, who was he looking at when he did it! This morning there was a rushed hearing on DeAngelo's demeanor. Here's what happened.

While I've talked about this tangentially in other podcasts, I don't think I ever did the deep dive about what happened that day and the days, weeks and years after that. This shaped who I am today - no doubt. Damned Golden State Killer.   Based on my Medium article.

Not a real episode, just a shout out to anyone interested. A press release went out today - here's what it says!  Here's the page on my site I mention in the podcast: jcarole.com/missing

There's a lot of scurrying around as we head into next week where we will be reading victim impact statements and then sitting through the sentencing of Joseph DeAngelo. Want to know what's going on behind the scenes? Here's the scoop!

Episode 49 | August 3, 2020 | Ever wonder if victims of big crimes make money? Wonder about who is making money? Welcome to the serial killer economy - or how one sadist is keeping lots of people employed. I'll take you inside our little economy and what I know about who's making bank (and who's not). Based on my article on Medium . 

Episode 48 | July 31, 2020 | If you want to piss off a female victim, all you have to do is hint that someone is going to review their witness impact statement. Here's what it did to our Golden State Killer victims. Based on an article I wrote for Medium.com.

Episode 47 | July 30, 2020 | When considering the point of view of a victim impact statement, who do we truly represent? This caused me to consider a lot of angles - my dad's, my brothers, mine. This discussion is based on a piece I wrote for Medium.com.

So many things get lost over the years. Photos, trinkets, things that help us remember. But for the most part, I remember the prologue to my dad and Charlene's wedding. I sometimes wonder why there's so much intrigue about "The Smiths" and I supposed it's things like this that have led to the drama.  Here's that photo of us all dressed up! 

NOTE: the speed is fast on this recording and I have no idea why. My apologies! Turns out, this is a little more complicated than I thought. Also, being part of this ginormous case means things that should be straightforward, are not. We're like the Costco of crime; everything happens in bulk and inevitably, you have to buy a few of the gross flavors to get the good flavors you like (why do they d...

My apologies up front, this is a very raw video. I thought long and hard about it, but after talking with my new therapist, I know they only thing that ever helps me is the truth. And while I share my honest feelings with you here, don't worry, I'll buck-up. I always do. If you'd prefer to watch me cry on video, it's here. (I'm saying that like a smart ass, please read that like a smart ass is pop...

One week after DeAngelo, the convicted Golden State Killer, (feels so nice to say that), entered his plea, I needed a way to let Charlene and my dad go. The full moon is a powerful source of renewal, so in the spirit of Spirit, my Santa Cruz roots and all things powerful, we did a thing. This isn't a typical podcast, so this might not be for you, but I wanted to share anyway. Much love to all of y...

Joseph DeAngelo, the horrendous, sadistic, brutal Golden State Killer, is convicted. I still kind of can't believe it. We did a Zoom meeting to talk about what everyone experienced and I share some "behind the scenes" information from Monday's hearing. Love you all! Your support is truly important. Thank you.
