My name is Chase, and I\u2019m a Family Law attorney in California. As you can imagine, I handle a lot of domestic violence and child abuse cases. But I want to take a moment to share with you how your podcast has not only saved a life, but also become an integral part of my work\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For confidentiality\u2019s sake, I\u2019ll keep some details vague, but please know that this case was as dire and severe as they come. My client had endured repeated abuse, each incident escalating with horrifying intensity. Eventually, she found her way to my office, where she filed for a domestic violence restraining order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But here\u2019s where things took a turn that I\u2019ll never forget: a month or two later, she came to me with the decision to go back to him. As we all know, this happens far too often in abuse cases. But I knew, with chilling certainty, that one more escalation in the pattern would likely end in death. After pleading with her, trying to show her the reality of what she was risking, she was determined to return. And that\u2019s when I said, in a moment of pure desperation, \u201cBefore I write your eulogy, I\u2019m asking you for one favor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She agreed. I asked her to go home, turn on Crime Junkie, and listen to as many episodes as she could over the next week \u2013 specifically those about domestic violence. I told her to reflect on those stories and come back to me with her final decision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And here\u2019s where your podcast worked its magic. As you can probably guess, she came back with a changed heart. The decision she made was not to go back. Your podcast, with all its raw truth and compassion, opened her eyes to the reality of her situation in a way that nothing else could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, she\u2019s a lifelong Crime Junkie listener, as am I, and I can\u2019t thank you enough for the role you played in changing her life. I share your podcast with every one of my clients who\u2019s experiencing domestic abuse, because it helps them understand they\u2019re not alone, and that the first step to leaving their abuser \u2013 by walking into my office \u2013 is the most courageous and life-affirming choice they can make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you, truly, for what you do. Your podcast is not just informative \u2013 it\u2019s lifesaving. And for that, I\u2019m forever grateful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
