How often do you say, “I’m fine” when you’re anything but? In this powerful episode of Don’t Fk*n Shrink, host Daffney Allwein sits down with podcaster and speaker Kari Hurd to unpack what it really means to live authentically and why “fine” just isn’t enough.
Kari shares her candid story of becoming a single mom, navigating heartbreak, dismantling her old life, and building a new one rooted in authenticity and family. She opens up about dating after 50 (yes, the infamous fish selfies make an appearance) and the values that guide her through life’s challenges.
✨ What you’ll hear in this episode:
- Why authenticity is non-negotiable in midlife
- How to stop settling and choose yourself first
- The funny and frustrating truths about dating apps
- Practical exercises for clarifying your values
- Why the right partner should fit your life, not shrink it
This episode is equal parts raw, real, and hilarious. It’s for every woman who’s ready to stop shrinking, reclaim her power, and live boldly.

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.
