There are bad exes...and then there are harmful exes. Unfortunately, this discussion is focused on the latter. Our listener was stuck in a relationship with a person who, along with his family, went out of their way to rob her of her self-worth. Now that she’s single and free, she’s having trouble picking up the pieces from her time with this man. All she wants is to be able to move on. And, heads up: this episode contains discussion of abuse. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is available 24/7 at 800-799-7233 if you or a loved one are in need of help.
Our guest Dr. Courtney Tracy is a USC-trained licensed psychotherapist and doctor of clinical psychology in California. She is also a multi-award-winning mental health content creator known as The Truth Doctor with a global online community of over 2 million people. She hosts a hit YouTube Show called The Truth Doctor Show and hosts her own podcast called Human First with Dr. Courtney, where she gets real with her listeners about what it’s like to be a therapist with mental health disorders.

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.
