Title: Not Just a Bad Example — A Predator in Disguise
⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode discusses child endangerment, stalking, emotional abuse, and parental betrayal. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
What happens when the greatest betrayal doesn’t come from a stranger, but from your own mother? Netflix’s Unknown Number: The High School Catfish isn’t just another cyberbullying documentary—it’s a chilling story of trust shattered, trauma weaponized, and boundaries destroyed.
In this explosive episode of Life Points with Ronda, I dive deep into the disturbing case of Kendra Licari, a mother who stalked her own daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend for more than a year. We’ll unpack the shocking truth behind the catfishing, explore why I believe her actions cross the line into predatory behavior, and confront the uncomfortable reality of parents who compete with or sabotage their own children.
This isn’t about bashing her parenting—it’s about naming the betrayal for what it is. Because when trauma becomes an excuse to harm, and when society softens the language to protect the wrong person, it’s the child who carries the scars.

Do you agree this behavior should be labeled predatory?
How do we balance compassion for trauma with accountability for harm?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
