Ready to glow from the inside out? We dive into a midlife blueprint that pairs joyful movement, simple money systems, and a mindset reset you can start today. First, we unpack why walking is a powerhouse for women over 40: it supports hormones, improves insulin sensitivity, lowers blood pressure, and sharpens focus without joint strain. You’ll get ten actionable ways to make walking irresistible—from mood-matching playlists and rotating scenic routes to safety tips, shelter dog strolls, and gentle intervals that boost heart health. We also talk gamifying your steps, capturing creative sparks on the go, and choosing comfortable, confidence-boosting gear that makes you want to move.
Then we shift into a financial glow-up that runs on autopilot. Think high-yield savings with labeled buckets, recurring 401(k) and Roth IRA contributions, and autopay for essentials to protect your credit. We share a smart twist many overlook: using a rewards card that deposits cash-back straight into your retirement account, plus a 48-hour rule for any nonessential purchase over $50 to reduce impulse spend. These small systems compound quietly, building momentum toward freedom and peace of mind.
We close with a mindset practice that actually changes results. A morning journal prompt sets your focus, while an evening thought download paired with a simple cognitive model helps you separate facts from stories, shift unhelpful thoughts, and choose actions that align with the life you want. Along the way, we spotlight budget-friendly products we’re loving—from open-ear headphones and a roomy cold plunge to a smart scale, resistance bands, and healthy pantry swaps—so you can experiment without overspending. Stay tuned for our rebrand to Midlife Glowgetter, uniting the podcast, newsletter, and community.

(01:46):
a lifestyle, not a chore.
It's not something you have todo, it's something we should
look forward to do, something weare lucky enough to do, uh, that
we get to do.
Uh walking is one of the mostpowerful ways to care for your
body, mind, and spirit,especially in midlife.
(02:07):
It balances hormones andsupports metabolism.
Walking helps regulate cortisol,it uh improves insulin
sensitivity, and um, it alsostrengthens the heart without
wrecking your joints, um, whichis unlike other impact, high
impact workouts.
(02:28):
It doesn't strain the knees orhips.
Walking strengthens yourcardiovascular system gently, it
lowers your blood pressure, itimproves circulation, it helps
reduce the risk of heartdisease, uh, it protects your
brain, it increases blood flowto the brain when walking, it
(02:51):
improves memory and focus whilereducing the risk of cognitive
decline.
It's like recharging yourbrain's battery with fresh
oxygen.
It boosts mood and eases midlifeanxiety, it releases endorphins,
you know, those happy littlechemicals that kind of make you
(03:12):
feel calm and centered andresilient.
Uh, it adds sunlight uh whenyou're out walking outside to
your body with vitamin D.
It uh increased uh increasesyour body to be more mobile and
toned and ageless.
It improves posture andflexibility and muscle tone,
(03:36):
especially in the legs and thecore.
It is a great way to maintainyour bone density and balance
because that's something we faceas we get older uh as women.
So those are some uh reasons whyyou should walk.
But you know, in order to stickwith walking as an everyday
(03:57):
thing, or at least, you know,three or four times a week,
maybe five.
I try to do it every day, but aslong as to make it a daily
practice, um, you need to makeit feel good and exciting.
And I have some tips that I usethat I hope you can as well to
help you look forward to yourwalking dates.
(04:17):
And so we'll get started here.
Um, so tip one is create aplaylist that matches your mood
for that walk.
Uh, something maybe upbeat ornostalgic or calming, whatever
you're feeling that day.
Have a playlist ready so you canplay it while you walk.
Uh, music releases dopamine, itboosts energy, and it makes the
(04:42):
30 or 45 minutes that you'rewalking feel like five minutes.
Um, I have so many playlists,and I use Spotify.
I have uh several Taylor Swiftplaylists that I play when I'm
in a certain mood.
I have uh the 1975, which is aband playlist.
I have two or three of them.
(05:02):
I have the Summer I Turn Prettyplaylist for all three seasons,
seasons one, two, and three.
Um, I have so I have differentmovie playlists of my favorite
movies or series with the uhmusic from that movie or series
on that playlist.
Um I have different bands,different eras, like 80s, 90s,
(05:24):
different, different types ofmusic, country, um, even
classical.
I have a playlist.
So yeah, have a playlist ready.
Have several of them.
So when you're ready to walk,you can pull the one that fits
your mood that's gonna get youthrough that walk and put you in
good energy.
So that's my tip number one.
So tip number two, turn yourwalking date into university
(05:49):
learning on foot.
What I mean is have things tolearn from while you walk.
I mean, why not?
Listen to certain podcasts andmake you learn about a subject
that you're passionate about,different audiobooks, maybe a
language app.
Use it wisely, your time whileyou walk, if you're in the mood.
(06:12):
Um, I do this all the time.
I have so many podcasts that Igo to um that I've saved over
over time.
Um, I could listen here, such asmaybe the Life Coach School
podcast, Zoe, Energize, Extend,Feel Bet Better, Live More, Um,
(06:32):
The Ed Mile Show, So Money, Uh,TED Talk Daily.
I could keep going on, Lipstickon a Rim, um, the Personal
Finance Podcast, Wellness HerWay, Rich Roll.
I there's so many, and I try tokeep up with them, which is very
difficult uh just because oftime.
But um have podcasts ready, yourgo-tos, and listen to that
(06:56):
latest episode to keep you ontrack and to learn something new
that you're really interestedin, what you're passionate
about.
Um, have audiobooks, have asubscription to audiobooks
through Amazon.
I do that.
Um and I do purchase additionalcredits.
I listen to audiobooks all day,especially when I walk.
Uh, so have an audiobook readyfor your walk.
(07:19):
Um uh have maybe a language app,maybe try to learn a different
language.
Uh, I also have courses fromUdemy and Coursera that I listen
to and watch while I walk.
So really uh make the walkingworthwhile, especially if you're
trying to enhance your skills tomake additional money or with
(07:40):
your profession, or maybe you'retrying to start a business.
Use your time, the 30 or 45minutes, you know, uh habit
stacking your uh habit stackingwhile you're walking, you're
getting exercise and movement,but you're also using your brain
and you're learning somethingnew.
So that's tip my number two.
(08:01):
So tip number three, rotate yourroutes, your walking routes.
Use nature trails, city streets,beaches, or indoor malls when
the weather is not good.
Uh novelty keeps your brainstimulated and prevents boredom.
Every route is a new miniadventure, so keep things
different, keep things fresh.
I literally also change routesaround my house, around my
(08:24):
neighborhood daily.
Not just for the change in mymind and the new adventure, but
there's another reason forsafety.
I don't have the same walkingroute every day at around my
neighborhood.
You know, someone could reallybe watching you and keeping
track of your regular routes,and you don't know what that
could develop into, what couldhappen.
So I highly suggest you changeyour routes around your
(08:46):
neighborhood and change thescenery.
Try different areas around yourcity or different cities in the
area.
Make things fresh, make thingsnew, make it a mini adventure.
Um, also, we have a park systemhere called the Metro Parks in
Northeast Ohio.
It's also known as the EmeraldNecklace.
It's award-winning.
It's all throughout ourcounties.
(09:09):
And um, I do walk that to keepthings fresh.
They have different routesaround water, around nature
trails, um, nature preserves.
So yeah, you know, justdefinitely keep things fresh and
try something new.
So that's my tip number three.
So tip number four, get awalking buddy.
(09:31):
Um, I just did a devotional walkwith my church, with some church
members that I met.
Um, and that was such a greatexperience.
I also walk with some friends ofmine.
I walk with my son once in awhile, walk with family.
Um, get a go-to walking buddy.
There's so many reasons forthis.
You know, it keeps the it helpsyou keep the pace up when you
(09:54):
hold conversation and keeps yourspirits high.
Also, when you make plans withsomeone to walk, it keeps you
and them accountable.
It builds connection and which,when you're accountable, it
builds up consistency.
So get yourself a walking buddy.
So tip number five, use yourwalking time to spark
(10:14):
creativity.
I do this in so many differentways.
First, I have an uh album savedon my phone that's my sparks joy
list.
And I, you know, on my walk, Itake pictures of rabbits and
birds and squirrels and flowersand different landscaping ideas,
pretty doors on houses, um,pretty porches that I find.
(10:35):
Um, anything that really sparksjoy on my walk, I take a
picture.
Um, also when I come across anidea in my mind, I record a
voice note and save it while Iwalk.
I research Chat GPT withdifferent ideas and brainstorm.
And if it's something I findthat I like, then I copy and
paste it to my notes app.
(10:56):
I also scroll social media.
Um, you know, I use that to becreate creative and to find
different ideas of whatdifferent content content
creators are doing and what Icould learn.
And I do save that informationas well.
So I really use the time tospark creativity and sometimes
with my walks.
(11:17):
So that's tip number five.
So tip number six, if you have adog that is totally built-in
motivation, that is a win-winfor you and your dog, um, make
time to walk your dog.
Uh, I used to have a dog.
My little puppy Louie passedaway two and a half years ago.
That was my little shihtzu.
I have not had the heart to getanother dog.
(11:39):
Uh, so, but if you have a dog,that would be a great thing to
do.
Make it a habit.
If not, you could volunteer andwalk shelter dogs.
I've done that a couple timessince my dog passed away.
It is movement with purpose.
Um, it's a lot of fun.
Plus, the dogs just love it.
And it also relieves stress fromthe volunteers and workers at
(12:00):
that shelter.
So you can walk a shelter dog.
Um, it's a good thing.
Uh, something else that you cando if you have a cat or another
type of animal, you can get ananimal stroller.
You could walk that animal intostroller.
They have netting that covers astroller, so it protects them
from jumping out or runningaway.
(12:21):
Uh, but they also get the freshair and the sunlight.
So you could walk your animal ina stroller.
So that's tip number six.
Walk your animals or volunteerand walk a shelter dog.
So, my tip number seven is slowdown and make your walk a moving
meditation.
Notice the colors, the sounds,the breeze, and your breath.
(12:42):
Uh, walking and being in themoment, no music, no earbuds, no
phone.
Look around and smell the freshair, especially in the morning.
See a sunrise or a sunset.
Really is this is a reallylovely, lovely and relaxing
moment.
So make it a moving meditation.
When you do this, it reducesstress while you're nourishing
(13:05):
your body.
So I highly suggest you try thistip number seven.
So, tip number eight, add shortbursts of speed.
This is also called Japanesewalking.
Do three minutes at a regularpace and then three minutes sped
up a faster pace while walking.
And do this on repeat over andover again for 30 or 45 minutes.
(13:29):
Try this two or three times perweek.
It's interesting.
It challenges your heart, itboosts fat burn, it creates you
to be able to sweat and youknow, um move your blood, create
blood flow.
Um, so this is big results overtime.
So I highly suggest you tryJapanese walking.
(13:49):
So tip number nine, gamify yourwalks.
Track your steps, earn badges orset many goals like to the park
and back.
I do this in so many differentways.
Maybe I'll add an extra fiveminutes to your to my walk, or
I'll walk an extra 500 extrasteps.
(14:09):
Um, so I do track my steps on myApple Watch.
Uh, by the way, um, you shouldreally track your steps.
I use, like I said, the AppleWatch, and you know, I know
they're kind of pricey.
I got mine refurbished from BestBuy, and I've had it for four
years and never had an issue.
So gamify your walks, track yoursteps, earn badges, and set many
(14:33):
goals while you walk.
It builds momentum and littlewins and makes it fun.
So finally, my tip number 10: make your walking date look (14:40):
undefined
good.
Make yourself look good.
Invest in cute sneakers that arealso comfortable.
Outfits that make you feelamazing and confident.
I do this all the time.
Um, I have uh about five or sixsweatshirts from Old Navy, which
(15:02):
is from the men's department.
They're in all different colorsin their hoodies.
They are so cute.
I have pale yellow, sky blue,peach, all these different
colors, and I love them andthey're warm on a cold uh
morning uh walk.
So invest in clothes you love.
I also buy several items fromHM.
Um, you know, I am on a budget,especially with losing weight,
(15:26):
and I'm growing out of clothing,so I don't buy expensive
clothing, but HM has an awesomeum selection of athleisure
that's cute and on trend andyoung and vibrant.
So I highly suggest you try thatstore.
I also, my go-to for sneakers isNew Balance.
They're cute, they're fun.
Plus, I have a wide foot andthey have a big selection of
(15:48):
those.
Um, I even have a couple shoesthat I have on repeat that I
always repurchase.
And New Balance shoes wash well.
I throw them when they're dirtyin the washing machine, I let
them air dry and they wash well.
So buy clothing you love thatmakes you feel confident,
amazing, and dress the part whenyou walk.
Also, sometimes when I take aneverything shower and I blow dry
(16:11):
and style my hair, then I'll puton some lip gloss and SPF and
maybe a visor or sunglasses, andI go for a walk right after my
everything shower, especially ifI don't plan on building up a
sweat.
So you can really look the partand feel the part and feel
amazing on your walk.
Uh, so it's mind and body.
So I highly suggest you trythat.
(16:34):
So I hope you enjoyed thesetips.
I hope it provided you withinspiration and motivation to go
for a walk today.
It sure did for me, and I'mdefinitely gonna go for one this
afternoon.
So I hope you enjoyed.
So the next segment is somefinancial glow-up tips I am
practicing and I'm gonna sharewith you.
Uh, so we'll get into it.
(16:55):
Tip number one, automate,automate, automate.
Automate your savingscontributions.
I have a high yield savingsaccount that I have an automatic
payment coming out of mychecking twice a month, two days
each after my check hits myaccount from my employer.
Um, and I have that going rightto my high yield savings
(17:17):
account, which has buckets formy emergency fund, my vacation
fund, my fund money, and myvacation property I'm selling
for.
So automate your savings.
Automate your retirement accountsavings.
I have two retirement accounts.
I have 401k and a Roth IRA.
Both of those are automated.
Um, so I don't forget and keepthings on track.
(17:37):
So automate your retirement,automate your credit card
payments so you don't forget, soyou don't miss that payment, so
you don't get a lay charge so itdoesn't ruin your credit.
Um, automate if you have an autoloan, automate that payment
every month so you don't forget.
Um, I automate my ATT accounts,my phone bill, my home internet,
(17:57):
and my streaming.
I automate all those and plus Iget a discount.
So automate your required umyour required bills.
Automate them.
That's tip number one.
So my tip number two is I have aRoth IRA with Fidelity.
And connected to my Roth IRAaccount, I have Fidelity credit
(18:20):
card.
Um, and everything I charge getspoints, which turns into cash.
That cash gets automaticallydeposited in my connected Roth
IRA for retirement savings.
And so everything I purchase onmy Fidelity credit card that I
pay off every month in full, Imake points, which turns into
(18:41):
cash and I add to my Roth IRA.
It keeps consistency and um it'sjust extra points.
And I think it's like threepoints.
So maybe if you have a Roth IRAor an IRA, maybe they have a
connected credit card you couldcheck out.
So that's my tip number two.
So my tip number three, if youhave a purchase, if I have a
(19:02):
purchase greater than$50, I havea sleep-on-it rule for 48 hours.
On 48 hours, I think about it.
If it's Amazon, I keep it in mycart or I save to my list.
Um if it's something else, I addit to a running list I have on
my notes app of things I'mthinking about purchasing.
(19:23):
And so I always have a sleep-onit rule if it's over$50.
Um, but I do save it on my notesapp list.
So if something I think aboutagain that I'm like, man, I
really need that.
That would really benefit me.
And I have the running list,then maybe I'll then pull the
trigger and purchase it.
So I always have a sleep-on itrule when I want to purchase
(19:45):
something that's not anecessity, that that's not
planned, and that's over$50.
So that's my tip number three.
So I hope you enjoyed thosefinancial tips.
Now we're on to the nextsegment, which are some products
that I have purchased, which iswhich in the last 30 to 60 days
that I am so loving and I wantto share.

Um, then I bought an ice dewrecovery ice plunge bath for
outdoors.
I am starting to do coldplunging.

prevents inflammation.
It keeps that in control, whichis something I've been dealing
with.
Plus, it was 40% off.
It was only$89.
It wasn't those small tubs thatare circular.
It was a long, it's a long ovaltub.
Um, so it is larger in shape, soit's more comfortable to get

is surprising because he is apicky eater.
It is called Flackers OrganicFlaxseed Crackers, and they have
different flavors.
Flackers F-L-A-C-K-E-R-Sorganic.
(22:15):
They are the healthiest crackersI found.

great.
And high, so the high in fiberthing really got me in the no
saturated fat.
So the flackers organic flaxseedcrackers.
And I found those on Amazon aswell.
And then next, I bought a figureeight resistance band that I use
(22:37):
while I work, sitting orstanding at work, and I so love
it.
I bought a pink one, they'retotally affordable.
I think it was like eight ornine dollars, and they have good
resistance and they're figureeight, so they're super easy to
use while stretching andpulling.
So those were on um, they havedifferent kinds, different
colors.
That was on uh Amazon.

And then next, the fit indexbody measuring tape with an app.
Uh so I measure my differentbody parts, and it's so easy to
use this tape.
Um, it's perfect to measure allparts of my body body easily.
Um, plus it keeps track in theapp.
And I think it was like$20 or$30also on Amazon.
(23:20):
Finally, I bought a new scale.
It is a body weight and fatpercentage platforms digital
scale, and it weighs up to 400pounds.
It's called the Posture Scale.
Uh, it was only$99 and it comeswith an app.
Um, it's a full body compositionanalyzer and it has voice props.
It is uh competitive to thathigh name brand, which I'm not

I love it.
Had no issues with it yet.

Um, and so all these will belinked to my show notes.

All these are affordable, and sothese are helping me in my daily
(24:05):
life.
So I do share, I don't gatekeep.
So those are some products I'mloving right now.
Finally, I'm gonna dabble into amindset practice that I have
been using on and off for years,but lately I am been doing
consistently, and that isjournaling.
Journaling, yes, uh, which I dotwice a day now.
(24:28):
The morning journal, I use ajournal prompt um in the
morning, uh, you know, after Iwake up, after I buy water and
coffee, and I check my emailsand I check my bank accounts,
and I to quickly take a look atmy social media accounts to see
if I have any messages.
Um, and then I have a prettyjournal that I purchased from
(24:52):
Amazon.
It's got a floral motif, and Ihave prompts saved in my notes
app on my phone, and I pick oneand I write it down in my
journal, and then I journal it.
I answer the prompt.
I respond to it.
Um, you could get these promptsthrough ChatGBT or Perplexity,
any AI app based on yourpreferences.
(25:14):
Uh, they it gives you a hugelist.
You can have a running listsaved on your notes app or
another area.
You can buy journal promptingbooks.
Um, you could look at blogs orwebsites.
I do post this journal prompt onmy social media in the morning
so I let people know what I'mwriting about.
So that's what I do in the AM.
But in the PM, I have anothernotebook, and this is my
(25:38):
thoughts download notebook forthe PM.
And this is something I learnedwhen I got my life coaching
certification from the lifecoach school, um, life coach
school.
So what I do is the day, thatday, I had different thoughts in
my mind (25:54):
negative, positive, neutral thoughts.
I write them, just throw themdown in the new book notebook.
No, no order, no, no rhyme orreason.
I'm just throwing thoughts downthat I thought.
And then I look at them and Ithink, okay, these the ones that
are negative thoughts, I look atthose and I think, wow, why was
(26:15):
I thinking that thought?
Where did that come from?
And then I use what's called themodel, which I learned in uh
life coaching school.
And what it is, it is a basicmodel that you follow, which can
change your results.
How you how you how result comesfrom a circumstance.
(26:36):
So you have a circumstance,right?
And that is a neutral fact.
That's something you can change.
An idea would be um, an examplewould be your boss sent you an
email.
A boss sent me an email.
That is a neutral fact.
That's not opinion, that's not aresult, that is just a fact.
And then from that circumstance,it creates a thought, which then
(26:58):
creates your feeling, which thencreates an action and then
result.
So the example is your boss sentyou an email.
So that thought um was you readthat email, and the thought
that's in your mind from theemail is um maybe he doesn't
appreciate me.
Okay, that's a thought that'ssomething we can control, not
(27:21):
the circumstance, but thethought we can control.
So that thought pipe pops in mymind that he doesn't appreciate
me, which then develops into afeeling, which is the next part
of the model.
And that feeling from thatthought, from that circumstance,
the feeling is resentment.
So I have resentment now, right?
So then the action is um fromthat resentment is um I'm I
(27:47):
become resentful, so maybe I amprocrastinating, or um, I avoid
my boss.
That is the action, which thencreates a result of him
wondering what's going on andcreates animosity between us.
Uh, so that's the result.
But then you have um yourthought download and a negative
(28:11):
thought download, you can applyit to this model intentionally,
and this is what you do.
You you have a circumstance, andthen you have this thought you
wrote your thought download.
Change that thought.
Maybe it's a negative thought,maybe change it into a positive
thought with this intentionalmodel, which then creates a
(28:32):
different feeling and then adifferent action, and finally a
different result.
So that's what I'm saying.
Control your thoughts, whichthen change your feelings,
actions, and results.
But remember, you can't chartchange the circumstance.
The circumstance is a neutralfact.
So this is called the modelmodel, and I apply it to my
(28:52):
thought download every evening.
I do one or two examples onnegative thoughts.
So um, that's something Ilearned in life coaching school.
Um, and why this works?
Uh, because, well, really, um,circumstances you can't change,
but your thoughts and youractions and your results and
feelings, you can.
(29:13):
You could get better results,maybe a better relationship with
somebody, maybe a betteroutcome.
So control those thoughts whichcontrol your results.
And that's how you can make yourlife more worthwhile, happier,
you know, more productive.
So that's why this modelmatters.
So that is my final segment.
(29:34):
Um, also, I want to let you knowthat I am rebranding this
website, uh, this uh podcast.
I'm in the middle of creating anew website with my designer,
and uh with that comes more formore uh more organized
formatting with my differentoutlets here, including my
podcast, my newsletter, myFacebook group.
(29:57):
Uh, so it's all going to beuniform.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
