🕯️ What happens when an actor steps so deep into darkness that he must visit a killer’s grave to release the spirit of the role?

In this explosive Life Points with Ronda episode, Ronda dives into Netflix’s Monster: The Ed Gein Story — exploring the psychology of Ed Gein, the impact of his mother’s control, and the emotional burden of portraying real-life evil. 💭

From childhood trauma and religious obsession to Charlie Hunnam’s controversial decision to visit Ed Gein’s grave after filming, this powerful episode goes beyond true crime — it’s a mirror reflecting the human mind, the weight of empathy, and the sacred process of letting go.

Ronda unpacks why society is drawn to monsters, how energy lingers after embodying pain, and what spiritual release truly looks like. This is not horror for shock value — it’s a journey into healing through awareness, compassion, and truth.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The psychological and spiritual origins of Ed Gein’s madness

  • The dangers of control disguised as love and morality

  • Why Charlie Hunnam’s portrayal stirred debate and healing conversations

  • How society’s obsession with true crime reveals our own unhealed shadows

  • Practical ways to release emotional and energetic residue from dark experiences

💡 Life Points to Remember:

“You can honor someone’s pain without carrying it as your own.” “Understanding transforms pain into wisdom — and wisdom frees the soul.” “The darkness teaches us where the light must live.”

⚠️ Trigger Warning:

This episode contains sensitive discussions about violence, trauma, and mental illness. Listener discretion is advised.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
