Mom Shaming and Victim Blaming

Please listen and share:

I recently had the sincere pleasure of connecting with, and being a featured guest of Jené Sena's and Trisha Sena's podcast: "Sisterhood of the Survivors.” I’d like to encourage you to listen to this thought provoking and heart wrenching podcast.

The episode looked at "Mom Shaming and Victim Blaming."

"There seems to be a trend in our society today in which people feel more comfortable blaming the victim and in Trisha’s case, shaming her as a 'bad mom’ because her child was abducted. We discuss the ramifications of this on victims/survivors and their families and how it deters other victims from coming forward, with renowned trauma specialist and author Dr. Asa Don Brown

When the unthinkable happens to someone you love, you do the only thing you know how to do and band together as a family to push through the trauma.

Jené Sena, a veteran journalist, author, and women’s advocate, and Trisha Sena, a corporate executive in the food services industry, are sisters-in-law who were thrust into the national spotlight in October of 2023 when one of their children was abducted from a family camping trip. That led to a 47-hour search that gripped the nation, and ultimately ended with a ransom note and dramatic rescue.

They understand that their outcome is not what every family gets, and they have set out on a mission to advocate for other victims, survivors, and their families.

Sisterhood of the Survivors will share their personal stories as they heal from this traumatic event in its aftermath, as well as the stories of others."
