Redefining the role of mother. Females are born into motherhood without option. The grooming and pressure women feel to be a "good" woman and one day a mother is traumatizing. Even if you are able to escape the conditioning, you are still assaulted with questions about your motherhood choices. Women need to be set free and given room to not only find their voice but use it! We are humans, motherhood is optional.

Enitza Templeton, Mandy Claudio

    It Takes A Village...

    So its been a minute! Like any proper lady I don't wanna justjump right into things, lets warm up a little. Get to know each other better, have an appetizer of sorts! In this episode we catch up a little but mostly tell the outrageous story of Burt Pugach and Linda Riss. They were the focus of the 2007 documentary Crazy Love directed by Dan Klores. Watching this documentary always annoyed me because everyone involved, even Linda herself made such light of the situation. I couldn't understand how she could love this man after what he did to her. But after really paying attention to the details and the words from Linda herself it sounds more like a story of a woman with no village. Linda died a prisoner and a warden. It is a wild story that is truly stranger than fiction, I wish I was making this one up.Thank you for the patience during the hiatus!

    One of the ways it helps to get over a break up is to remember all the things that you no longer have to deal with. Remember all the empty promises, missed dates or lack lustre moments. Think of all the men lined up in your DM's. Or think of the woman selling farts in a jar. Men are paying money to buy a woman's farts in a jar and you're explaining basic respect to the person that is supposed to be choosing you. In this episode, Enitza and Mandy take a DEEP DIVE into some of the most supportive husbands you've never heard of because they supported their ULTRA famous/powerful wives.

    The main question people always ask is "How did you get out?"  When you are trapped in any toxic situation, it can seem impossible to get out. Where do you even start when you are drowning in life, which never stops but simultaneously need to start over...in my case with 4 kids in tow. It does seem impossible no matter the circumstances-but it is not impossible.

    If it was so bad then why did you stay so long? It couldn't have been that bad. You're being dramatic.  You're just too emotional, you need to toughen up. Cry baby!  These are some of the typical thoughts, comments and responses to domestic violence and narcissistic abuse.  None of that is true or appropriate, its just easier for society to look the other way and blame the victim than to admit they are complicit. Abuse can not happen without enablers! Most evil dictators sat in their comfy thrones while their armies did the fighting. No one person is powerful alone, just like the old proverb many hands make light work. In this episode, I break down the movie The Truman Show and hopefully help you see how these abusive relationships work. I hope you evaluate the relationships in your life after listening and start having the necessary conversations to be an ally in this world.To follow us on social media click on the following links Tik Tok, Instagram, Twitter, & we are on Youtube as well!!

Poor Sidney, he is just a victim in this nasty Devil's Triangle that Tammy has created.  Or is it His web of lies we have all been trapped in?  Narcissistic abuse is so insidious it can be hard to tell who is who, what is real, and pinpoint who the actual victim is. This is not the typical true crime podcast, but if that's what you like, this episode will absolutely keep you engaged.My deepest condolences to the Elvis family and all of those suffering the loss of the beautiful  light that Heather was in this world.
