I originally created these stories for my own children on nights when they couldn’t fall asleep.

Lillian wanted a Pizza Witch that went on adventures with her cat, so I made it happen! To be honest, I already have a second part to this because it was much longer than normal. While most episodes are originals, this one was storyboarded by me, but written using Chat GPT. Let me know if you want to hear part 2!

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
