Welcome to a brand-new segment inside Becoming Emboldened — Once Upon a Trauma. This isn't your typical fairytale recap. It's where we unpack the childhood stories, Disney fantasies, and Saturday morning cartoons that quietly shaped how we (as millennials) saw love, leadership, identity... and ourselves.
In this premiere episode, I’m joined by my friend and thoughtful truth-teller Nancy Nycum, as we explore the stories that stuck with us and the messages we didn’t know we were internalizing. From unrealistic princess plots to hidden leadership lessons, we’re calling out the myths and making room for healing.

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.
