S26 Ep15: WCN Presents: [Jenn Holman] There is a Softer Life

38 min

*Content Warning: infidelity, physical abuse, intimate partner violence, domestic violence, and murder. Jenn Holman is a survivor, mother, and faithful family woman living in Idaho by way of Southern California. Jenn’s path first crossed with Amy Chesler’s over eighteen years ago when she began dating Amy’s brother. Jenn has chosen to address him as Jesse in this episode, although Amy referred to her brother as ‘Rory’ in Something Was Wrong Season 7. Jenn’s relationship with Jesse began a year and a few months prior to Amy’s mother’s murder. Although Amy was privy to a portion of what Jenn will share in this conversation, some of the more explicit details of the abuse Jenn faced evaded them as a family. Through this interview, Amy also learned a lot more about the night her mother was murdered. Amy is grateful for Jenn’s bravery in sharing, and is personally deeply grateful she was willing to divulge so much about her experiences. It may have taken Amy & Jenn nearly eighteen years to have this conversation, but as Hippocrates said, “Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.” Related Links:- Jenn on X: https://x.com/jennjenn10- Season 7 of Something Was Wrong: https://somethingwaswrong.com/season-7/- [WCN Presents] SWW Season 7 Updates Part 1: https://podcasts.apple.com/zw/podcast/amy-b-chesler-evil-lives-here-this-sh-t-doesnt-end/id1674051643?i=1000602598564- [WCN Presents] SWW Season 7 Updates Part 2: https://podcasts.apple.com/zw/podcast/amy-b-chesler-evil-lives-here-the-darkest-times-are/id1674051643?i=1000612743331- Petition: Keep Jesse Winnick in Prison: https://www.change.org/p/sign-to-keep-jesse-winnick-in-prison-in-loving-memory-of-hadas-winnick- Evil Lives Here: Season 11, Episode 2 - “What if He Gets Out?” https://www.hbomax.com/is/en/shows/evil-lives-here/s11/92560c9b-551c-4fe8-82aa-ae5e023e2d69/e2-what-if-he-gets-out/5d9627e6-fdd8-40f3-8d48-c07e5fdfac0c- I’m Related to a Killer: Season 1, Episode 1 - “Jesse Winnick”ht...

*Content warning: divorce, conversion therapy, reorientation therapy, cyberstalking, stalking, emotional and psychological abuse, death threats, and criminal threats. Danny Cords is an organizational psychologist and victim advocate from Seattle. He began harnessing his voice and speaking out for others after leaving conversion therapy in his late teens. But his advocacy mission only intensified after being subjected to years of cyberstalking. He hopes to bring awareness and healing to victims all over the world, as well as legal change too. His related (and unrelated) work and efforts have been featured on the stage, television, radio, podcasts, and more. We are extremely grateful that Danny was willing to share all that came next in his personal, professional, legal, and media journeys. *Resources:  Danny Cords's website: https://www.dannycords.com/ End Tech-Enabled Abuse: endtab.org Organization for Social Media Safety: https://www.socialmediasafety.org/ *Sources: -Cybersecurity Awareness Month, Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency, www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-awareness-month-Cybersecurity, RAND Corporation, www.rand.org/topics/cybersecurity.html-Stalking Fact Sheet, The Stalking Prevention, Awareness, & Resource Center, www.stalkingawareness.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/SPARC_StalkngFactSheet_2018_FINAL.pdf For additional resources and a list of non-profit organizations that can help, please visit http://www.somethingwaswrong.com/resources Follow What Came Next: Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-came-next/id1674051643 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatcamenext_podcast/ SWW S25 E24 BTS and Q & A Part 2 *Content Warning: friendship betrayal, infidelity, stalking, domestic violence, institutional betrayal, institutional trauma, and murder.  Free + Confidential Resources + Safety Tips: somethingwaswrong.com/resources    SWW Sticker Shop!: https://brokencyclemedia.com/sticker-shop  SWW S25 Theme Song & Artwork:  The S25 cov...
