Welcome back to the podcast where I overshare so you don’t have to.
Today’s episode is about habits that changed my life, stabilized my mental health, and dramatically reduced my desire to scream into a pillow. Listen, it might even be the peptides that I am taking that give me clarity! Who knows?

The idea that people can be killed for standing up for themselves or for a cause is not an abstract concept; it is a historical and ongoing reality in many parts of the world.

Here's how I manage The Balancing Act- "Being a good friend means knowing when to be a voice of reason and when to be a partner in crime. It's about having the prudence to offer careful advice when needed, but also the boldness to support your friend's passion—even if it seems a little wild."

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
