I'm back with a solo episode to catch you up on my life! This time, we're diving into the topic of self-esteem—how building a strong sense of self has helped me understand who I am, what I deserve, and the power of speaking positively about myself. The journey to this point wasn't easy, so I'm sharing some personal stories from my college days, including my experience with sorority life and the struggles that led me to confront my self-esteem issues. I open up about how those challenges led to unhealthy coping mechanisms, like drinking, and the wake-up calls that followed—like the night my roommate had to call 911 or the time I ended up passed out on a bus at 2 AM dressed as Bret Michaels. Those moments pushed me to make a change and give up drinking for good. I'll also discuss how self-esteem impacts relationships, shapes your beliefs, and influences what you’re willing to accept. Now, I've learned to hold my self-worth high, not worry about others' opinions, and demand the respect I deserve. I’m sharing the tips that helped me grow my self-esteem and transform my life.

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.
