On this episode, we’re diving into the deeply emotional topic of grief, focusing on the loss of loved ones.

Joining us is our special guest, John Wren.  The both of us have lost some pretty close people to us including siblings, a best friend, and a parent, and we're gunna talk about it. Wren is an ironman and triathlon athlete.  That's kinda cool. He's also vegan.  That's not that cool, but I respect it.  We’ve known each other for a very long time, and their experience with grief has offered me a lot of insight and support through my own stuff.

In this episode, we share our personal stories and experiences with grief, particularly in losing loved ones. We explore the complex emotions that arise and how we’ve both navigated these challenging times—sometimes successfully, and other times, not so much.

We also discuss healthy coping strategies that have worked for us and emphasize the importance of seeking support, whether from friends, family, or professionals. Additionally, we offer practical advice that has personally helped us along the way, which we hope can be of assistance to others facing similar experiences of loss.

WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT:

  • Personal experiences with grief and loss
  • The emotional rollercoaster that comes with grief
  • Coping strategies and the importance of support
  • Practical advice for those grieving the loss of a loved one

We hope this episode offers comfort and guidance for anyone dealing with the pain of losing someone close. Grief is a universal experience, but everyone’s journey is unique. Remember, it’s okay to seek help (and we encourage it), and there’s no right or wrong way to grieve. If you have any personal stories or questions, we’d love to hear from you!

Tune in and join the conversation on navigating the difficult but inevitable process of grieving.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

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.
