Sometimes the worst days have a way of guiding us exactly where we need to be.
In this episode, Jamie shares a story of heartbreak, unexpected grace, and gentle signs of guidance hidden within life's toughest moments. A Father's Day rockhounding trip takes a disappointing turn, only to reveal itself later as a profound blessing in disguise when Jamie and her family experience the sudden loss of their beloved dog, Oliver.
Through raw honesty and vulnerability, Jamie invites us to see our struggles and setbacks differently—to find hope in closed doors, guidance in detours, and comfort in the signs that remind us we aren't alone, even in our grief.

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.
