In today’s episode of Evolve Ventures, we get real about how therapy talk and “healing culture” can be used to shame or manipulate. From family criticism to AI-fueled excuses, we break down what true growth looks like and how to protect your peace when others can’t handle it. Your healing isn’t up for debate. Own it, protect it, and make therapy sacred again.

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.
