Jen and co-host Dejah open by joking about aging, “over the hill,” and Halloween as they prepare to take Deja’s unfinished travel bus on its first campground trip for their annual decorated Yogi Bear/Jellystone Halloween outing (complete with fog machines and adult Jell-O shots). They welcome guest Nakisha, a Texas-raised new Raleigh resident and director of the Child Advocacy Center at SAFEchild, who discusses starting over in her 40s, how she tried to make friends through a community post, and what the Advocacy Center does: providing a safe, coordinated place for children to share abuse details once through non-leading forensic interviews, medical evaluations, and family advocacy with partner agencies. The conversation also covers secondary trauma support for staff, self-care, the importance of funding/donations, and ends with light Q&A, including the “hot dog sandwich” debate and a listener voicemail about speaking up.
