The Jan Broberg Show

[Content Warning]: Domestic violence, child abuse, abandonment, narcissism Today, Jan is joined by Hope Rose, a previously sponsored ultra endurance athlete, the self-published author of Unstoppable Vision, a health+wellness book, and featured in many publications such as NBC Nightly News and Today Show. In this gripping first installment, Hope Rose takes us through her incredible journey from elite ultra-runner to survivor of unimaginable trauma. She shares how her athletic discipline prepared her for life's hardest battles, including escaping a dangerously abusive relationship where she discovered her partner was still married and manipulating her life. The nightmare escalated when the family court system, which she describes as "legalized child trafficking," allowed her ex to obtain full custody of their son through an ex parte order—with no evidence or due process. Hope recounts her arrest for "custodial interference" after refusing to surrender her child, spending 130 days in jail while her son was placed in foster care. Amidst this darkness, she reveals the spiritual tools that sustained her, including a couple powerful daily forgiveness practices and her unwavering commitment to being "the steward of her story."Join Glow Up Sisterhood for FREE using Promo Code: F8EB678 Buy Hope Rose’s book Unstoppable Vision Where to find Hope Rose:HopeRoseSpeaks.com Insta: @hoperosespeaks If you or someone you know is experiencing emotional distress or suicidal ideation, please access the resources below:National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: Call/Text 988National Sexual Assault Hotline  (RAINN) : 1-800-656-HOPE (4673)National Alliance for Mental Illness: 1-800-950-6264Subscribe / Support / Contact:🍎 Review on Apple🎶 Review on Spotify✍ Share Your Story🌐 Podcast Website🔴 YouTube📷 Instagram   Jan Broberg Foundation:💝 Foundation Website📒  The Jan Broberg Story🗞 Sign Up For Our Newsletter💞 Thrivivors

Today Jan is joined by David Polidi, a dedicated trauma therapist and social worker who blends compassion with clinical expertise. Through his practice Empowered Through Compassion, David guides adults and couples using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR therapy—two powerful approaches for trauma recovery. A passionate advocate for self-healing, he’s also co-authoring *IFS-Informed EMDR* (2025/26), a collaborative book featuring insights from 20+ therapy experts.Jan and Dave's conversation explores how trauma reshapes identity, beginning with David’s own family story about names and generational legacy. They discuss his transition from school counseling (where systemic barriers limited trauma work) to private practice, where he now helps clients reprocess pain through EMDR and IFS. David breaks down these modalities: how EMDR rewires traumatic memories, and how IFS teaches us to listen to our inner ‘parts’ without judgment.They also tackle harder truths—how schools fail traumatized kids, why the justice system retraumatizes survivors, and how healing requires both individual work and community support. Throughout, David emphasizes hope: that self-energy (marked by qualities like courage and compassion) can help survivors reclaim wholeness.Where To Find David:EmpoweredThroughCompassion.com Empowered Through Compassion Podcast Insta: @Empowered.through.compassion Mentioned Resources:No Bad Parts by Richard SchwartzIf you or someone you know is experiencing emotional distress or suicidal ideation, please access the resources below:National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: Call/Text 988National Sexual Assault Hotline  (RAINN) : 1-800-656-HOPE (4673)National Alliance for Mental Illness: 1-800-950-6264Subscribe / Support / Contact:🍎 Review on Apple🎶 Review on Spotify✍ Share Your Story🌐 Podcast Website🔴 YouTube📷 Instagram   Jan Broberg Foundation:💝 Foundation Website📒  The Jan Broberg Story🗞 Sign Up For Our Newsletter💞 Thrivivors

[Content Warning]: Religious cult, physical abuse, sexual abuse, psychological abuse, abortion, self-harmToday, Jan is again joined by Jennifer Redcay to finish her story of cult abuse and escape. Said abuse turned sexual when the cult leader claimed Jennifer’s "fantasies about him" required "acting out" to purge demons. For nearly two years, he coerced her into increasingly degrading acts—always framed as "spiritual cleansing." When she became pregnant, he froze her out for three days, then ordered her to get an abortion. His wife took her across state lines to a clinic, where Jennifer endured the procedure alone. That trauma became a turning point. "How could God want this?" she asked herself. Small rebellions followed: a customer’s prayer about God’s love ("Greater is He that is in you") clashed with the cult’s teachings. Finding a book on deliverance ministries, thinking it would help reaffirm her belief in the cult, turned out to be literature denouncing the practice and exposed the leader’s identical tactics. After a couple of failed attempts and a discussion with fellow christians at her waitressing job, she finally fled. Now 17 years free, Jennifer shares how forgiveness (of herself and her abusers) and motherhood—adopting five children from trauma—rebuilt her life. "Healing is like an onion," she says. "You peel layers over years."Buy Jennifer’s Book:Pushing Back The Darkness by Becca Anderson and Jennifer Redcay Where To Find Jennifer:JenniferRedcay.comTiktok: @jenniferredcayauthorIf you or someone you know is experiencing emotional distress or suicidal ideation, please access the resources below:National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: Call/Text 988National Sexual Assault Hotline  (RAINN) : 1-800-656-HOPE (4673)National Alliance for Mental Illness: 1-800-950-6264Subscribe / Support / Contact:🍎 Review on Apple🎶 Review on Spotify✍ Share Your Story🌐 Podcast Website🔴 YouTube📷 Instagram   Jan Broberg Foundation:💝 Foundation Website📒  The Jan Broberg Story🗞 Sign Up For Our Newsletter💞 Thrivivors

[Content Warning]: Religious cult, physical abuse, sexual abuse, psychological abuseToday, Jan is joined by Jennifer Redcay, who spent 10 years of her late 20s and early 30s in a cult that nearly extinguished her soul, spirit, and life. Jennifer opens with her childhood—abandoned by her father and raised by a mother whose remarriage to a bipolar man left her longing for love. That void made her vulnerable when a charismatic couple running a "deliverance ministry" lured her in, promising spiritual fulfillment. What began as Bible study spiraled into total control: she sold her home, cut off family, and handed over $400,000 to her abusers. The cult leader, just nine years her senior, declared himself her "father" and rewrote her identity—forcing her to call his wife "Mother" and her own mom by her first name. Jennifer describes the escalating abuse: sleep deprivation, food restrictions, and brutal beatings for disobedience. She recounts horrifying rituals like watching movies (even porn) to "expose her sins," followed by hours of "exorcisms" for fabricated demons. All of this and more were overshadowed by the cult’s isolation tactics. Though Jennifer and her mom lived together, they were forbidden from speaking unless supervised, which was supported by the cult leader somehow knowing when they had broken that rule. "He didn’t want us comparing stories," she says. By the time physical violence became routine, Jennifer was trapped—convinced leaving would condemn her to hell. The abuse turned sexual when the cult leader claimed Jennifer’s "fantasies about him" required "acting out" to purge demons. For nearly two years, he coerced her into increasingly degrading acts—always framed as "spiritual cleansing."Buy Jennifer’s Book:Pushing Back The Darkness by Becca Anderson and Jennifer RedcayWhere To Find Jennifer:JenniferRedcay.comTiktok: @jenniferredcayauthorIf you or someone you know is experiencing emotional distress or suicidal ideation, please access the resources below:National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: Call/Text 988National Sexual Assault Hotline  (RAINN) : 1-800-656-HOPE (4673)National Alliance for Mental Illness: 1-800-950-6264Subscribe / Support / Contact:🍎 Review on Apple🎶 Review on Spotify✍ Share Your Story🌐 Podcast Website🔴 YouTube📷 Instagram   Jan Broberg Foundation:💝 Foundation Website📒  The Jan Broberg Story🗞 Sign Up For Our Newsletter💞 Thrivivors
