On today's episode, I have the amazing Tiffany Kuhwede with me to talk about all things healing! Tiffany shares her story and discusses her experience with intimate partner violence. We really get into how the trauma impacts you in ways you can't fully recognize in the moment, but can have long lasting effects. Throw in random discussions about potato and pickle soup, along with some Supernatural talk, to break up the heaviness and the time will honestly fly by as you are listening to this.

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.
