this is why being the "bigger person" isn't enough — and why constantly avoiding conflict is quietly eroding your relationships and stripping away your earnestness.
if you’ve been taught to suppress your feelings, keep the peace, or stay silent just to be the "mature one," you might actually be building resentment, distance, and disconnection without realizing it.
in this episode, we’re unpacking how avoidance becomes a slippery slope — and why true connection requires confrontation, honesty, and standing firmly in your truth, even when it's uncomfortable.

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.
