Join us as we sit down with Nancy Purpole, to peel back the layers of divorce law and the importance of client engagement. Nancy's journey from the courtroom offers a unique vantage point, as she discusses the subtle nuances of family law and the emotional toll it can take. We delve into how one's past can shape communication in relationships, the shifting sands of legal acceptance for LGBTQ+ individuals, and the impact of upbringing on one's ability to navigate legal challenges.

This episode is a roller coaster of emotions, touching on the heartache that comes with custody battles and the contentious nature of using children as pawns. We share poignant stories from Nancy's career that highlight the complexities of attorney-client dynamics and the ethical quandaries lawyers face in family law. The discussion also sheds light on the surprising number of divorces arising from COVID-19 disagreements, serving as a stark reminder of the unforeseen challenges in marriage and the legal framework that surrounds it.

As we wrap up, we tackle the tough questions about advocacy, particularly when it comes to children's welfare post-divorce. We also share the significance of role models during life's transitions and the necessity for resilience in the face of adversity. And because we understand the need for levity amidst serious topics, we end on a lighter note debating holiday nutcrackers and the virtues of vodka, inviting you to join in on the fun. This conversation with Nancy Purpole is not just an exploration of the law—it's a journey through the human experience, marked by growth, struggle, and the quest for justice.

As we wade through the waters of historical intrigue and cultural legacy, Denise Parkinson joins us to share the stirring story of Helen Spence, an emblematic figure from the Arkansas Delta of the 1930s. Amidst the ebb and flow of the White River, we uncover the essence of the houseboat communities, reflecting on the robust and resilient spirit that has weathered through displacement, government intervention, and the persistent currents of social justice. The life of Helen Spence, etched against this dynamic backdrop, emerges not just as a tale of personal vendetta but as a broader narrative of the cultural divide within Arkansas, spotlighting the hushed stories of river communities and their unintentional brush with legendary outlaws.

The episode takes an unexpected turn into a courtroom drama, tinged with the humor of a stuck gun in a tense situation, as we trace Helen Spence's journey from her infamous act of revenge to her somber stints in prison. Your heart might race as we recount her escapes, shaped by her riverine upbringing, and the dark shadow of a 1930s trafficking plot. Denise's personal anecdotes and a deep-dive into the Spence saga reveal how regional history is often a complex tapestry of human strength and the darker facets of human society, including the exploitation and marginalization of women like Helen.

Lastly, the episode casts a critical gaze on the contemporary struggles within the film industry, highlighting my own experiences trying to illuminate Arkansas history through the lens of documentary filmmaking. Despite the challenges posed by gatekeeping and media blackouts, the conversation is imbued with determination and the hope that alternative pathways can shine a light on the rich narratives that course through the heart of the Arkansas Delta. Join us for this enthralling exploration, where the undulating tales of the past ripple into the present, and the echoes of justice and recognition resonate through time.
