In this powerful episode, I’m joined by lifestyle writer, editor, and 3-time published author Rachelle Bergstein. Rachelle is a 43-year-old mom to a 9-year-old son, a Brooklyn-based creative, and a breast cancer survivor.
She gets real about what it was like to raise a young child while navigating a life-threatening diagnosis, and how her perspective on motherhood, identity, and ambition has shifted through it all.
Whether you’re in the middle of your own storm or just trying to keep your head above water in motherhood, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and a little more grounded.

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.
