My friend Stephanie Roach—who is married mother of two special needs children age 24 (daughter) and age 22 (son)—joins us to share how we can better support friends and family members with specific needs.
In the episode, Stephanie talks about the following:
Historical treatment of individuals with special needs
Geraldo Rivera’s documentary
Improved laws and understanding—often led by special needs folks
Utah Parent Center—great resource
Insights and examples on how we can do better
Suggestions from her daughter
I learned so much from Stephanie about how to better support the special needs people in my life—I wish I had listened to this episode decades ago. Stephanie is also the person who suggested the name of our podcast “Listen, Learn and Love” about 8 years ago. I will be forever grateful to Stephanie for her help.
Thank you, Stephanie, for coming on the podcast. Your family is awesome. I encourage everyone to listen and share this episode.

Episode 835: Shirley Washenko and Sage Williams, New Book: “Healing after Sexual Abuse”
My friends Shirley Washenko (sexual abuse survivor/advocate) and Sage Williams (MSc, RN, long-time advocate) joins us to talk about their new, groundbreaking and needed book (published by Deseret Book) called “Healing after Sexual Abuse, A Latter-day Saint Perspective”.
The book has these powerful chapters:
1) Establishing Identity
2) Uncovering Wounds
3) Embracing Agency
4) Differentiating Healing Journeys
5) Responding to Anger with Integrity
6) The Core: Connection
7) It Takes “an Angel” to Speak the Truth
8) Grief: Linking, Past Present, and Future
9) Forgiveness in a New Light
10) The Healing Journey
This is one of the finest podcasts we’ve done on healing after sexual abuse. Shirley and Sage (from their respective experiences) bring new, impactful, and practical insights to help heal from sexual abuse. The book will help sexual abuse survivors and also the rest of us as we learn better tools to help them.
I encourage everyone to listen to the podcast, read the book—and share with others.
Thank you, Shirley and Sage, for your life-saving work to bring hope and healing. You are two of my heroes. Honored to have you on the podcast!
