In this episode of The Human Beauty Movement Podcast, Jessica Fern and David Cooley unpack the transformative power of understanding and working through shame, revealing how it can quietly undermine our relationships and sense of self. Guided by Jennifer Norman, the conversation explores the "shame triangle"—an internal pattern of critic, victim, and escaper—and offers hope, practical tools, and new language for transforming shame into self-love and deeper connection. Listeners are invited to reconsider shame not as a flaw, but as a signal pointing to healing, authenticity, and richer connection with themselves and others.

Kingdom of Fraud
It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
