- The silence, secrets, and shame that shaped everything -
In this first episode, I share the origin story that shaped everything — how I was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around my neck, a metaphor I now see as my soul’s assignment: to heal my throat chakra and help others find their voice, too.
This episode dives into the unspoken truths, emotional confusion, and generational patterns that shaped my childhood — and how silence became its own kind of trauma.
I was named after my aunt… who was murdered.
My mom adopted her son. Moved us across state lines. Left my dad for her dead sister’s husband. Then, at 38, I found out the man who raised me is not my biological father. And no one ever talked about any of this!
This is not about blame — it’s about truth.
Because secrets aren’t safe. But your truth is.

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.
