In this episode, Katie sits down with Yelna, a certified psychotherapist and self-reparenting coach, to explore how healing Complex PTSD (CPTSD) begins with reconnecting to — and reparenting — your inner child.
Together they unpack:
✨ What CPTSD really is and how it shapes your adult life
✨ How “protector parts” show up through perfectionism, people-pleasing, or burnout
✨ The difference between being stuck in the past and healing the past
✨ Gentle, daily ways to begin reparenting yourself with compassion
✨ Why it’s never too late to build the safety, love, and connection you’ve always needed
This conversation is both deeply human and profoundly hopeful — a reminder that healing doesn’t mean erasing your story, it means becoming the loving parent your inner child always deserved.

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.
