What happens when the life you’ve built begins to unravel—and no amount of achievement can fix it?
In this raw and deeply moving episode, Brenda Zane—former Fortune 500 executive turned family advocate—shares the story of nearly losing her son to addiction, the guilt and isolation high-achieving parents quietly carry, and the moment she realized she could no longer live a double life.
You’ll hear:
-
The unspoken truth about parenting through crisis
-
Why overfunctioning feels powerful—but keeps you stuck
-
The shift from fixing to surrendering—and how it saved her family
-
How a mother’s deepest heartbreak became her life’s mission
This is more than a comeback story. It’s a wake-up call for any woman who’s trying to hold it all together while falling apart inside.
Because sometimes what you think might break you…is what actually makes you.

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.
