In this heartfelt episode of the Love Anarchy podcast, host Andrea Atherton sits down with fellow podcaster and storyteller Darion Morris — founder of the Decree of Dominion podcast, and author of a dark fantasy series by the same name. Both Andrea and Darion have created platforms rooted in emotional truth, healing, and the power of storytelling. As seasoned hosts, they reflect on what it means to hold space for others, the courage it takes to share our most vulnerable moments, and the unexpected ways podcasting has transformed them personally and spiritually.
Their conversation weaves together their shared belief in the power of narrative — not just to entertain, but to heal and connect. Darion speaks candidly about how his podcast was born from a journey through domestic violence, mental health challenges, and reclaiming identity as a Black man. Andrea brings her deep knowledge of archetypes and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to the dialogue, exploring how the inner characters we all carry — the protector, the exile, the inner child — show up in Darion’s work, in his fantasy-based book, and in all of our relationships. Together, they uncover how these frameworks offer a powerful lens for healing trauma and making peace with our past.
As two podcasters who have witnessed countless stories of pain, growth, and transformation, Andrea and Darion discuss the emotional responsibility of their work — and the deep connections that form when people feel truly seen. Their dynamic is open, honest, and filled with wisdom about the human experience. This episode is an invitation to explore not only what we've lived through, but who we become when we choose to speak our truth. Whether you’re a creator, a seeker, or someone simply trying to make sense of your own inner world, this conversation offers insight, inspiration, and a deep sense of belonging.

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.
