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.

Edna Sailor: Turning Trauma into Triumph with 'Alfalfa Girl'

“Protecting children- that's what we want to do. In my presentation I talk about, I always say I'm old enough to have gone to the bathroom in an outdoor toilet, and one of my worst experiences happened in an outdoor toilet, and the man came into the toilet and the crime happened.”

Meet Edna Sailor, a remarkable woman from North Dakota who has turned her harrowing past into a beacon of hope. At 71, Edna published her first novel, 'Alfalfa Girl; the Path from Childhood Molestation to Soul', a fictional tale deeply rooted in real-life experiences of abuse. In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now', Edna opens up about her journey from being a child abuse survivor to becoming an author and advocate for others facing similar battles.

She shares how writing the book helped her process her trauma and stop hating the little girl inside her. Edna's story is one of resilience and determination, showing how therapy and self-care can play crucial roles in healing. She talks candidly about the importance of protecting children and standing up for survivors, emphasizing that every incident in her book is based on true stories she witnessed or heard firsthand.

If you're looking for an inspiring tale of overcoming adversity and finding inner strength, Edna's journey will leave you feeling hopeful and empowered.
