1 NOV 2018 · Abandoned on a park bench as a baby, David Bernstein predictably went on to be abused and neglected as a foster child. Extraordinary then that David Bernstein found the strength to throw off the shackles of his woeful beginnings to find himself at Yale and Harvard. He has received many accolades throughout his career and as one of the brightest minds in his field he works with distinguished peers and offers his insights via all forms of media channels, everything from Psychology Today to Good Morning America. In this podcast he shares his insight on something that he has experienced and that continues to inform much of his current life, however it is not something that many will have expected. Dr. Bernstein was a foster child. From almost the moment he was born he was the responsibility of America’s foster care system. How did he move beyond his circumstances to achieve success where so many others have found only desolation? Hear Karla’s interview with Dr. Bernstein to discover what motivated him and how he endured placement after placement with one foster family after another.Â

20 JUN 2017 · After a dramatic episode 8 of Finding Shelley Desrochers, we now bring the series to a close.
Karla shares her final thoughts on the case and an update on police involvement.
We’ll hear from Dr. Pauline Boss, an educator, and researcher, widely recognized for her research on ambiguous loss –the loss of somebody with no finality or resolution.
To close out the series, we’re raising money to establish a memorial bench in Shelley’s honor, with Wearable Therapy by Tokii donating the first $1000.
For additional content, Karla talks with Maureen Trask, a mother who is all too familiar with ambiguous loss.

15 JUN 2017 · In the most dramatic episode yet, we call in the London Police after making a gruesome discovery. Karla and Chris Williams P.I. enter dangerous situations while trying to uncover the truth about Shelley Desrocher’s disappearance. At this point in time, we’ve been led to a group of individuals and one theory that seems highly likely. These possible suspects seem to be exhibiting strange behavior after our meddling. The pieces seem to start falling into place after one source becomes hysterical while describing a party that took place on New Year’s Eve, just days before Shelley went missing.

10 JUN 2017 · Karla and private investigator Chris Williams of Canadian Private Investigation Services spent an entire day in London, Ontario in the area where Shelley was last seen. They speak with people who live in the neighbourhood, other sex workers, and drug users who live in the crack houses that Shelley frequented.
While interviewing, Karla & Chris started hearing a few names mentioned repeatedly, along with eerie stores and rumours about these individuals possibly harming Shelley.
You’ll hear an outline of findings from the first trip as the team prepares for a second London visit to dig deeper using this new information.
In Part 8, Karla & Chris dig deeper into our leads, and end up in one of the houses where Shelley’s remains are rumoured to be. Look for that episode July 4th.
