This week on the podcast, Alanna and Nicole are joined by Endometriosis Warrior Sam Abel, who is taking initiative and sharing her journey with this debilitating disease on Instagram and TikTok. Sam tells us about her symptoms – which severely impacted her life, notably during her menstrual cycle – and how she had to deal with these symptoms for SIX YEARS before one doctor finally took her seriously. She talks about her various surgeries, the importance of advocating for yourself and how she is now inspiring others to speak up and speak out. She also discusses what helps her manage her disease – she tries to go the natural route verses the medication route – and a new discovery by doctors of two different groups of people who are now getting endometriosis.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

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.
