Listen on

Episode notes

Imagine a world where every child in foster care has a dedicated advocate to fight for their permanency, a world where all foster children have a voice. This episode brings you a compelling discussion with Elizabeth Fisher and Comfort Keidel, key members of the Tulsa CASA team, who give us an inside look into this world where they tirelessly work to make a difference in children's lives every day.

We delve into the life of a court-appointed special advocate, exploring the rigorous training they undergo, the challenges they face, and the indomitable spirit that keeps them going. The role of CASAs in the child welfare system is undeniably crucial and we talk about the profound impact they make on the lives of the children they are assigned to. A heartwarming tale of an advocate named Bill, who successfully reunites a child with their mother, is just one testament of how rewarding this journey can be.

The episode takes an unexpected turn as we unite over our shared love for Sci-Fi fantasy books, discuss the importance of taking care of our environment, and eventually circle back to the importance of volunteering and donating to support the Tulsa Casa team. There's a special emphasis on male volunteers and we encourage listeners to take action. This episode isn't just a conversation, it's an invitation for you to join us in making a difference in the lives of countless children. Tune in, get inspired, and let's transform lives together!
