She talks about everything from working with psychopathic individuals in prisons to working with lawyers representing A-list celebrities. She tells Sarah about her upcoming podcast 'Intentionally Disturbing, which aims to explore the psychology behind disturbing experiences, including cartel members, surgeons, and more. They also touch on the impact of celebrities and politicians abusing power, the role of women in psychology and media. Dr. Leslie also reminds us about the importance of empowerment and self-defense, and talking safety with your kids. More About Dr. Leslie Dr. Leslie Dobson is a Clinical and Forensic Psychologist with over 20 years of experience in the murky waters of human behavior. By day, she works with trauma survivors and attorneys in civil and criminal cases. By night, she transforms into your sarcastic, dark-humored guide through the labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with biting wit and just enough professional detachment to keep things interesting. As an expert on the mind of a predator (and, hypothetically, where to hide the bodies), Dr. Dobson's courtroom skills are legendary. Her ability to navigate the darkest corners of humanity is as impressive as it is unsettling. With government-level training seamlessly transitioned into private practice, she's the gold standard for dealing with humanity's ... less-than-shiny side. Join her on this thrilling ride as she dissects psychological evaluations, shares personal anecdotes, and drops wisdom, all served with a generous helping of sarcasm, satire, and the occasional existential crisis. https://drlesliedobson.com/ Follow Dr. Leslie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drlesliedobson Watch the Shopping Cart Video https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMkmf5JYq/ The book Dr. Leslie mentioned in this episode is The Gift of Fear.

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
