What if the key to success wasn’t trying to fit into the world’s expectations—but instead, fully embracing who you are? In this episode of More Like You, I sit down with novelist Lorna Hollifield to talk about making authenticity your superpower.
Lorna shares how she stayed true to her writing dreams despite rejection, why she walked away from a traditional career path, and how she and her husband built a life together—one rooted in deep belief, not just hope. She also opens up about her personal struggles with OCD and how those experiences shaped her novel, Bright Little Girls.
If you've ever felt torn between who you are and who the world expects you to be, this conversation will remind you that the most powerful thing you can do is trust yourself.

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.
