Are you struggling to find love and happiness after a painful past? 

Hosts, Stephen and Sharlene talk with Larry and Dawne, two incredible individuals who found each other later in life after tragedy, enduring childhood abuse, and both being single parents.

Dawne and Larry draw from their own experiences overcoming trauma and finding purpose to provide authentic, resonant training.

Kingdom of Fraud

Kingdom of Fraud

It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
