When your partner has cancer, it can feel like your entire world has been turned upside down. The emotional and mental stress is overwhelming, and it’s easy to feel like you have no control. But what if I told you that the way you experience this challenge—and life in general—has more to do with your thoughts than the circumstances themselves?
In this episode, I introduce a concept I learned from my coach, Brooke Castillo called The Model, a simple but powerful way of understanding how we make sense of the world. I’ll break down how our thoughts shape our emotions, which drive our actions, and ultimately create our reality. I’ll share real-life examples (including my own) to show how shifting your thoughts can change your experience—even when you can’t change the situation.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or out of control, this episode will give you a new perspective—and a practical tool—to help you regain some clarity and power in your life.
Tune in to learn how your thoughts can work for you instead of against you.

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.
