S3 E0: Breaking The Cycle with Scott and Scarlette Kinderman
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Candace talks to father and daughter duo, Scott and Scarlette Kinderman. Scott is the current Director of Business Intelligence and a volunteer that advocates for sexual assault at BeLEAF Survivors, Inc. While Scarlette is the upcoming Regional Community Partnerships Coordinator for Racine and Kenosha with Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin. She received the Bronze Congressional Award and the Silver President's Volunteer Service Award for her work in the non-profit sector.
Scott is a male survivor who bravely opened up about his molestation story and journey to overcoming the unfortunate circumstances he went through and becoming a loving father to his beautiful children. In addition, Scarlett also shares how Scott's past trauma never manifested in his interactions with her and his family.
For Scott, forgiveness is the giving up of the power of the pain over you. Listen to Scott and Scarlett as they strive to empower others through volunteer work through sharing their own stories to help those who feel like they don't have a voice.
Episode Highlights
07:31 - Every case of sexual abuse or molestation is unique in its own way but each is really powerful to the person how it occurs to and it creates the effects in their lives.
21:35 - "What you don't know, you don't know." And one of the things that I didn't know that I didn't know was that I had a choice, but I just knew I had to do something.
29:29 - I do this work out of a sense of duty to those who have no voice. I do this work because there was no voice there for me.
36:54 - The thing about those buried emotions, shame and pain, they never really stay buried. They can be triggered by so many things, even simple, mundane things.
