What do you do when life keeps telling you to shut up?
In this soul-baring episode, I open up about how my voice has been under attack—not just recently, but for decades. From childhood trauma, to toxic relationships, to being silenced in religious spaces, to now facing physical issues with my thyroid and vocal strain—this journey has been layered.
I share how I was told to be quiet, to tone it down, to play small… even threatened legally for telling my own story. But no more.
This episode is about reclaiming your voice. It’s for the woman who’s been told she’s too loud, too much, too emotional, too different. It’s for the woman who has something to say, but life—or people—kept pressing mute.
Your voice has power. And this is your reminder: you don’t have to shut up to keep the peace.

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.
