About this podcast

Stop Child Abuse Now

NAASCA ORG

Monday to Friday's "Stop Child Abuse Now" (SCAN) feature trauma informed HOSTs and Co-hosts and respected child abuse prevention, intervention and recovery advocates. They're all volunteers members of the National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse (NAASCA), a 501(c)3. Founded in 2009, NAASCA.org was originally a grassroots effort. It was launched based on our founder Bill Murray's personal life experienced. Bill wrote, "Very few adults escape years of severe childhood sexual abuse, pre-pubescent X-rated photography, sex trafficking, and a two week long kidnapping." He continued. "But I have, and for some 35 years I've been in recovery from its devastating effects." After years of operating as a grassroots effort, NAASCA became a public charity in 2015 .. a 501(c)3 .. but we receive no grants or outside support, and belong to no other organization. There are no dues or fees. Our MISSION is entirely self-sustaining through the volunteer contributions of our members. The single purpose is to address issues related to childhood abuse and trauma including sexual assault, violent or physical abuse, emotional traumas and neglect from two specific perspectives: 1) educating the public, and 2) offering hope for healing and services to adult survivors. There are now nearly 3000 BlogTalkRadio shows, podcasts in the ever-growing library. Join us five-nights-a-week (Mon to Fri), at 8pm EST (so 7pm CEN, 6pm MTN, 5pm PAC) for solution-oriented discussions about the many issues of child abuse and trauma. The shows always include panel discussions and call-in participation.

Monica Boglin: Transforming Pain into Purpose

“Asking for forgiveness is probably going to be the last stake in the heart for the abusers, because then they have to admit that they actually abused you right.”

What does it take to turn a life of pain into one of purpose and healing? In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now' (SCAN), Monica Boglin from Puyallup, Washington, shares her profound journey. Monica faced sexual, physical, and emotional abuse at the hands of her family members. Adding to her struggles, she was diagnosed with Lupus at 29, an autoimmune disease often linked to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).

Despite these challenges, Monica has found a way to forgive the unforgivable and build a life dedicated to helping others. Now a life coach and therapist, Monica holds a Masters degree in metaphysical science and counseling and is working towards her PhD. Her story is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of setting boundaries and recognizing triggers to prevent further harm.

Monica’s insights into breaking free from the stigma of silence and shame surrounding child abuse are both enlightening and empowering. This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone seeking healing and understanding. Tune in to hear Monica’s inspiring story and learn valuable strategies for overcoming trauma.
