In this eye-opening episode, Robyn Priest and Charlotte Armstrong dive into one of the most complex and heartfelt dynamics in mental health and substance use recovery: the tension between personal experience and family expectations.
What happens when someone living with mental health challenges or substance use defines recovery one way—and their family sees it differently? Robyn and Charlotte unpack the emotional layers, the misunderstandings, and the power struggles that can arise when perspectives clash.
Whether you’re walking your own recovery path or supporting someone you love, this episode will challenge assumptions, spark empathy, and offer real tools for bridging the gap.
Listen now to explore how we can honor lived experience and support systems—without losing sight of what recovery truly means.

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.
