In this episode of Noodles in the Sandbox, we dive deep into the third and final monster in our series: the Victimhood Monster. This tricky foe shows up when we feel like the world is against us, when "why me?" thoughts take over, or when we find ourselves blaming others instead of taking control. Join us as we discuss how to recognize when you’re battling your inner victim, and how secret weapons like gratitude and can’t/can mindset shifts can help you remember that you are not helpless and alone. If you’ve ever felt like the world is out to get you and just want to give up, this episode is for you.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

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.
