With compassion and honesty, this episode explores what it feels like to wake up in the depths of mental illness, how to create a personal safety plan, how to hold space for others in crisis, and how to turn survival into transformation. Whether you’re struggling, supporting someone who is, or seeking to understand—this episode offers validation, hope, and light.

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.
