In this gripping episode of the Secret Life Podcast, host Brianne Davis-Gantt takes a deep dive into the often-misunderstood world of psychopaths and sociopaths. With her unique blend of insight and humor, Brianne explores the key differences between these two personality types, unraveling the complexities of their behaviors and the underlying causes that shape them.
Throughout the episode, Brianne shares her experiences working with individuals who exhibit these traits, emphasizing that while psychopaths are often born with certain genetic predispositions, sociopaths develop their behaviors through environmental factors and trauma. She highlights the stark contrasts in their behaviors—psychopaths tend to be controlled and manipulative, while sociopaths exhibit impulsive and erratic tendencies.
Listeners will gain valuable insights into the characteristics that define these personalities, from the lack of empathy and emotional connections to the calculated and often charming facade that psychopaths can present. Brianne provides practical advice for recognizing and protecting oneself from these individuals, emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care.
This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the impact that understanding personality disorders can have on our relationships and well-being. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that encourages listeners to navigate their interactions with empathy and awareness, all while safeguarding their own mental health.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
