Even though Jeanelle worked in healthcare as a registered nurse, she still decided that giving birth in the healthcare system was not the safest option for her or her babies. After getting diagnosed with PCOS at 16 and then gestational diabetes during her pregnancy she was put in the high-risk category for pregnancy and birth. Because of this she decided to dive deep into her own research and choose her own path to birth and had both of her children at home unassisted.

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.
