In this episode of Cuntfessionals, I open up about my journey with bipolar disorder — from the day I was diagnosed, to the criteria I “met,” to the years of trial and error with treatments, mindsets, and healing. I share the things that absolutely did not work for me, the breakthroughs that did, and why I now believe I am truly cured. I also dive into my skepticism around the diagnosis itself, the power of belief, and how shifting my perspective completely changed the way I experienced myself and my mental health.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
