🎙️➡️🤎From Podcast To Purpose: 2025 Recap

2025 Recap… The Year That Changed Everything

Please note: This episode is going up later than planned due to technical issues with recording/uploading. Thank you for your patience… and thank you for always showing up.

2025 was not a year I could have planned.

It was a year that grew this platform beyond anything I imagined.

What started as a podcast… became advocacy.

What started as telling stories… became holding systems accountable.

What started as research… became real relationships with families who are still fighting for answers.

In this recap episode, I’m walking you through the cases that shaped this year — the families who trusted me with their stories, the moments that changed me, and why I continue to do this work even when it’s heavy.

We talk about:

• why our cases are treated differently

• how law enforcement and media shape urgency

• what it means when families who’ve sat with major platforms still come to me for help

• and why staying homegrown matters to me

This episode also includes case updates (and lack thereof), reflections on the work, and what’s coming next.

Thank you for listening.

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for caring.
