In this episode we discuss the life and death of Tina Fontaine, a young indigenous girl whose life was marked by trauma, and systemic failures. Tina’s story is reflective of the shortcomings of the child welfare system and the pervasive issues facing indigenous women and girls in Canada. We honor her memory by calling attention to the urgent need for change and justice.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
