Podcasts about Love

Being wronged cuts deeply—especially when the hurt comes from someone you trusted or stood alongside in faith. This devotional speaks honestly to that pain, sharing the emotional weight of betrayal, disappointment, and offense that can surface when others turn away from truth or cause harm through their actions. In moments like these, it’s tempting to respond with exposure, retaliation, or harsh words, believing that justice requires us to fight back. But Scripture calls us to a different response—one that doesn’t ignore truth, yet refuses to be ruled by bitterness. Walking by the Spirit means actively resisting the urges of the flesh, even when our emotions feel justified. God doesn’t leave us guessing about how to respond; His Word provides clarity and direction when feelings are intense and wounds are fresh. Love, grace, and mercy are not passive responses—they are intentional, disciplined choices that reflect Christ. The devotional highlights a powerful truth from 1 Peter: love covers a multitude of sins. This doesn’t mean overlooking error or avoiding necessary correction. It means that once truth has been spoken, we entrust the outcome to God. Sometimes loving someone well looks like stepping back, guarding your heart, and choosing not to rehearse offense or collect evidence to “win” a battle that God never asked you to fight. Forgiveness and grace are not signs of weakness—they are evidence of spiritual maturity. When we release others into God’s hands, we free our hearts from bitterness and make room for peace. This prayer invites us to remember that every person is made in God’s image and that the same mercy we’ve received is meant to flow outward—even toward those who have hurt us the most. Main Takeaways Being wronged can stir strong emotions, but Scripture helps guide our response. Walking by the Spirit means resisting retaliation and choosing love over bitterness. Love does not ignore truth, but it releases the need for personal vindication. God’s Word provides clarity when emotions feel overwhelming. Extending grace protects your heart and reflects Christ’s character. Today’s Bible Verse “Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.” - 1 Peter 4:8, ESV Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Help me extend grace to those who have wronged me… Help me release that situation to You, Lord.” You can listen to the full prayer here or read the devotional at the links below.

Have you ever wanted to respond kindly… but everything inside your body felt tense, overloaded, and foggy? In this short episode, I'm sharing a real moment from my week and the 20-second reset I use when my patience is gone and my nervous system is maxed out.I'll explain why overwhelm can flip us into reactive “survival mode,” why willpower isn't enough in that moment, and how a tiny “pattern interrupt” can help you reconnect to calm—without needing a quiet house or a perfect morning.We'll anchor it in Isaiah 26:3 and I'll walk you through a simple, repeatable reset you can use today—right in the kitchen, hallway, or laundry room.Quick favor: I want to hear your voice, for 2026 episodes.I'm running a giveaway for a hard copy of my Movie Schooling book, and I made a 2-minute survey so I can build 2026 episodes around what you actually need right now.

The #1 thing keeping you from an amazing marriage are walls. Walls that you have toward your partner and walls they have toward you. You won't be able to nurture emotional and physical closeness when one or both of you have walls. In this new episode on the Dr. Wyatt Marriage Podcast, I discuss how walls are build and how to slowly bring them down to save your marriage.

The picture of a flock of primitive-breed sheep, the last of their kind, living on an island off the northeast coast of Scotland, has a certain romance to it. Plenty of knitters, spinners, fiber artists, and citizens of the modern world might idly dream of living on such an island and tending such a flock. With no background as a farmer and only a few years as a shepherd, Jane Cooper decided to bring that dream to life. Enchanted by the fiber of the Boreray sheep, and with her life transformed by a class on knitting with rare breeds, Jane decided to buy a small parcel of land and start a spinner's flock by adopting a few wethers from another farmer. In a short time, however, she found herself with more land—and more sheep—than she planned for. And so began her adventure as the shepherd of the “lost flock,” a group of sheep whose ancestors had escaped the official registry. Since obtaining her first sheep in 2013, Jane not only developed her own breeding program but established several other breeding flocks in the Orkneys. She has explored the recent and ancient history of her sheep, from the Vikings who used dual-coated wool in their sails to the breed registries established in the 20th century (and traced how her own sheep came to be called “the lost flock.”) This episode is brought to you by: Treenway Silks Treenway Silks is where weavers, spinners, knitters and stitchers find the silk they love.

When your past comes back and shakes up your present, what are you supposed to do? Listen in as Stacy Ladyman and I chat about her novel, Shep and the King of Hearts. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. We talked about the origin of this story and how parts of her life inspired her to attend that gambling addiction talk and then how it helped her define this story. I loved that she got to talk to those men and had pastors praying for her and the story.  It's a beautiful picture of how we're all broken and estranged and need to get back to a right relationship with each other and God. Shep and the King of Hearts by Stacy J. Ladyman Some wounds run deep. Love digs deeper. As a hospital administrator, Chris Warren thrives on order, control, and clean emotional boundaries. But when the father who abandoned her decades ago stumbles back into her life—disheveled, addicted, and clinging to what little dignity he has left—everything she's built begins to unravel. Desperate for answers—and closure—Chris finds herself reluctantly leaning on Shep, the hospital's unorthodox, chaplain whose faith is as bold as his sense of humor. What begins as a reluctant partnership becomes something far more personal as Chris and Shep navigate her father's self-destruction, each other's guarded hearts, and the jagged path toward grace. Inspired by true events, Shep and the King of Hearts is a raw and redemptive contemporary romance about love that doesn't flinch in the face of failure. This story invites you into a journey of second chances, spiritual reckoning, and the unexpected ways love breaks through—when we finally stop running. For readers who crave romance wrapped in redemption and a love story that heals more than just the heart. Faith. Forgiveness. Falling in love. Begin the journey now.

Are you overthinking…or under-processing? What if reflection was the missing piece to becoming (and receiving) everything you've ever wanted?Today, Tara Schuster returns to the Expanded Podcast to explore one of the most impactful healing modalities there is: journaling. Her latest book, This Journal F*cking Works, offers a science-backed and historical look at why journaling is so powerful, woven together with humor and Tara's own journey of rewriting internal narratives to break free from toxic, repetitive thought loops. It's an invitation to start “DMing with your soul” and to open up neural pathways of self-understanding, emotional processing, and healing.Jessica and Tara unpack why ritual matters. Not everything is about maximizing habits, productivity, or “doing it right.” Real transformation often comes from giving your brain space to process lived experience: to be honest, imperfect, and fully human. With this outlook, journaling becomes a bridge between science and intuition, seamlessly supporting your own TBM and personal growth practice.This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck in mental loops, wants a grounded and research-backed way to connect more deeply with intuition, and yearns to understand who they are at their core.**Trigger warning: Discussion of self-harm and abusive family dynamics at 00:07:10 through 00:09:28**Find the complete show notes here -> https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast Resources: Return to Magic - 15 Day Manifestation ChallengeA 15-day guided journey to reparent your inner child, reconnect with your magic, and step into this new year as your most confident, regulated, and magnetic self yet.

Calli Hauger-Thackery and Sara Hall join Lindsey together after going 1–2 at the Houston Marathon, where they trained side by side leading into race day. Calli ran 2:24:17 for the win, and Sara finished second in 2:26:26 after a build up that was not originally supposed to include the full marathon. They talk through the quick turnaround from their December marathons, what it takes to recover and race again, and how their shared approach to training has made the work more fun and more sustainable. The conversation also gets into the behind-the-scenes of being coached by their husbands, how they collaborate as a four-person team, and what it looks like to balance ambition with longevity, family life, and joy in the process. Sara shares more about her upcoming memoir, For the Love of the Grind, including why she wanted to write it and the lessons she hopes athletes take from it. Topics Discussed: Houston Marathon recap and going 1–2 together Back-to-back marathons and managing the recovery window Sara's original plan to run the half, and why she finished the full marathon How Calli stayed composed when things got hard early in the race Training partnership: why they are better together and how they compromise Their husbands coaching them and how the dynamic works day to day Strengths they bring to the group: long run strength, speed work, and racing frequency “Loving the grind,” longevity, and Sara's mindset shift over the years Sara's book For the Love of the Grind and what readers can expect Flagstaff training life, and why they love it and hate it Support Our Sponsors: Donna Marathon Weekend — Jacksonville, FL, February 1–2, 2025.

What happens when autistic and neurodivergent adults lose built-in social supports but still need connection? In this episode, Stacy talks with Jamie Pastranao and Brittany Moser, co-founders of the app synchrony, about loneliness, rejection sensitivity, and why community, not dating, is the missing piece for neurodivergent adults. Inspired by Love on the Spectrum, they explore how repeated rejection reshapes confidence, what research shows about neurodivergent connection, and whether technology can help rebuild trust and belonging. A thoughtful conversation about adulthood, identity, and why everyone deserves a place to belong. 00:09 | Why community matters for neurodivergent adults 02:28 | Aging out of supports and the adult autism gap 04:54 | From parenting questions to building Synchrony 06:54 | Love on the Spectrum and visible belonging 10:00 | Rejection sensitivity and fear of social risk 16:52 | “The risk isn't worth the reward” 20:00 | Friendship-first design, common interests, and safety 29:20 | Community, health, and redefining success Find Synchrony: joinsynchrony.com instagram.com/joinsynchrony tiktok.com/@synchrony33 facebook.com/joinsynchrony Find Stacy: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠missionmakersart.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠missionalchemists.com⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, you're taking a real-time boundaries self-assessment right along with us. We walk through a porous, rigid, and healthy boundaries quiz, you'll hear each question, the A, B, C options, and how to score what type of boundaries show up most in your life, so you can spot patterns fast and get honest about where you're leaking energy or walling people out. Expect blunt, practical conversation about why “boundaries” are rarely one size fits all, and how context matters, especially with your spouse, friends, work, and authority dynamics. You'll hear examples tied to saying no, overexplaining, work stress, social media habits, loaning money, oversharing, asking for help, and taking “no” personally, plus some pushback on black and white quizzes and the gray areas they miss. Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

Husbands, Draw Her Back: Order of Operations Gentlemen, you have likely heard that you are meant to be the leader of your home. You've likely heard it from the pulpit, maybe from your own family. We know there's been some confusion around that in culture, asking men to take a back seat or not be as assertive and lead–even though it is their God-given design. But we fully believe that it is the biblical design for men and that it is good for men to take up their role. And you likely have a deep sense that this is how it's meant to be as well. But what happens when the people you are meant to lead... aren't following? Your family. Particularly, your wife. What if you are doing all the right things–trying to make good decisions for your family, trying to make sure they are safe, healthy, and provided for, trying to think of the future and what is going to be needed...and your wife is just disregarding it all. In fact, she's trying to take the reins and lead herself. Maybe it even feels like she's trying to make you obsolete. In this episode, we are diving into why women often feel the need to control and how you as a husband can help shift the culture of your home, draw her back, and have the marriage you've always wanted–with a wife that trusts you, supports you, and is cheering you on. A Tale of Two Marriages If you have been around Delight Your Marriage a while, you might know part of the back story–married very young, determined to be a submissive wife, did everything a good Christian woman is supposed to do. And yet there was discord. There was quarreling. There was strife. There was even competition. There was a feeling of never being good enough, let alone cherished. There ended up being a filing for divorce (something to plead the blood of Jesus over) and walking away from God for a period of time. The hurt was severe. Everything had been done right, how did it go so wrong? Then came meeting Darrow. Even in dating, it was so different than anything before. After years of feeling uneasy, uncared for, and on edge– there was finally safety. Yes, physical safety, but also emotional safety. Safe to share and not be ridiculed. Safe to express emotion and it be received with steadiness, patience, and kindness. Safe to be fully open and not be mocked or shamed. That tenderness and kindness brought safety. And that safety led to trust. How to Lead a Leader As marriage went on, certain things arose. He wasn't taking as much initiative as before. He wouldn't get things done that needed to get done. He wasn't leading. But this time it was different. There was a realization: He actually didn't have permission to lead. It had not fully been given to him. There was still control, and that made him feel angry and apathetic, like "Why even try?" So, the response changed. No more steering the ship. No more hands on the reins. He is the leader. And now, there is so much more happiness and rest. But it was only because he had shown his character–that he is a trustworthy person, that he is safe–that there was even confidence to be able to allow him to lead. That confidence was not there in the first marriage. There was no safety. There was fear and unrest, and so control was the answer. Think of an animal that feels scared–is the best way to get them to follow you to continue being tough and assertive? Or is it to show that you are gentle and they will be safe with you? So, What Needs To Happen First To Draw Your Wife Back? So then, what draws your wife back? It looks something like this: Establish Safety She must be emotionally, spiritually, and physically safe. She is safe to open up. She is safe to express. She knows she is going to be accepted fully as she is. What if you can't accept her fully as she is? What if you are waiting for her to change and then, you can fully love her? If that is where you're at, consider what Christ did for you. "You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:6-8 (NIV) Christ did not wait for us to be perfect in order to love us. And if you, men, are called to love your wives as Christ loved the church, it means loving her always, no matter the circumstance. Love her regardless and establish that safety. Grow in your relationship with Christ. Truly exemplify the fruit of the Spirit (remember patience :)). Slowly Reestablish Jesus-Like Leadership In all things, lead from love. If you have great leadership, but have not love, it is "but a clanging cymbal" (1 Cor. 13:1) For more insight on drawing your wife back, take a listen to today's podcast. A Final Encouragement Dear men, we want you to take up the mantle of leadership. In your workplaces, in your churches, in your families. But your wife needs safety first. She needs to know that she can trust you. Just like that gentle animal we spoke about before–will yelling and pressuring build safety and trust? No. Ask the Lord to show you in what you have built trust in the past. Then, ask Him to show you how you have broken trust. Finally, ask Him how you can rebuild trust again and create a culture of safety. It is worth it, dear gentleman. The time and effort are worth it. If we can help in a more specific way, speaking more directly to your personal marriage, we would love to do so through our Coaching programs. We are rooting for you, gentleman!

A Love letter to our More Than Smalltalk friends.

In this episode of The High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff interviews Meg Myers Morgan, negotiation expert, executive coach, and author of Everything Is Negotiable, to explore why self-worth is the foundation of confidence, leadership, negotiation, and peak performance. Meg explains how our belief about what we're worth shapes what we ask for, what opportunities we pursue, and how we show up under pressure—long before we ever walk into a negotiation, performance moment, or leadership conversation. You'll learn why negotiation isn't about winning or convincing, but collaboration, clarity, and context—and how many people try to solve emotional needs (like feeling valued) with logistical asks (like money or titles). Meg also introduces her Three C's of self-worth—clarity, confidence, and navigating conflict—and explains why slowing down, regulating emotions, and deeply knowing yourself are essential skills for sustainable high performance. This episode will help you advocate for yourself more confidently, negotiate more effectively, and perform at your best by truly knowing your worth.   You'll Learn: Why self-worth is a foundation of high performance How your self-belief determines what you ask for and what you avoid The Three C's of self-worth: clarity, confidence, and conflict Why negotiation works best as collaboration, not confrontation How to stop solving emotional problems with logistical solutions The role of context when negotiating salary, roles, and boundaries Why slowing down and self-regulation improve performance How to ask for what you need with clarity and confidence

Good morning, afternoon, and good evening, investor! Scott Carson here, ready to tackle the burning questions in the note investing world. I went straight to the source – Google's Gemini AI – and asked for the 20 most frequently asked questions by note investors. And let me tell you, AI did not disappoint! Since so many new folks want to jump into the "sexy side of real estate," I'm breaking down these essential FAQs to help you act like the bank, not the pawn.If you've ever wondered how much cash you really need, whether you own the property (spoiler: you don't!), or how to avoid common pitfalls, this episode is your no-nonsense guide. As I always say, the pen is mightier than the hammer, and these insights are your ultimate toolkit for 2026.Here's your AI-powered cheat sheet to note investing:Note Investing 101: The Basics & Beyond: What's a real estate note? (It's an IOU, baby!). What's the difference between performing, non-performing, and "scratch & dent" loans? And seriously, how much money do you actually need to start? (Hint: it can be less than you think!).Yields, Values & Spreads (No, Not Butter): Unpack what constitutes a "good yield" for performing (9-12%!) and non-performing notes (20%+!). Learn about Investment-to-Value (ITV), Unpaid Principal Balance (UPB), and how to calculate your true return so you're not paying too much for the paper.Due Diligence Decoded (Without Owning the House!): Master the art of checking property condition (BPOs!), title (O&E reports!), and borrower payment history (servicing notes!). Plus, the absolute non-negotiables: collateral files and an unbroken chain of assignments – essential to avoid a "dud" deal.Operations & Management: Who Ya Gonna Call? (Not the Borrower!): Understand why you never call the borrower yourself (it's illegal, buddy!). Learn how servicers manage payments, what happens if a borrower stops paying (loan modifications, cash for keys, foreclosure!), and who's really on the hook for property taxes.Funding Your Future: IRAs & Beyond: Discover how Self-Directed IRAs are a game-changer for note investors, allowing tax-free or deferred growth. Learn about "cash for keys" as a smart exit strategy to avoid costly foreclosures, and why a clear plan beats wishful thinking every time.Whether you're a seasoned pro or just dipping your toes into the "paper investing" world, these 20 FAQs are fundamental. Don't be that person who learns the hard way because they didn't ask. Take action, get educated, and start acting like the bank. Because in the note world, being smart with your debt can make you a whole lot of dough!Want to learn more?

Tim Shurr is a world-renowned Peak Performance Mind Architect for millionaires, business owners, and high-achieving professionals. Tim quickly releases people from mental blocks while rapidly accelerating what he calls 'Peaceful Success' using subconscious reprogramming strategies developed over 36 years of research. His One Belief Away method is changing the game when it comes to freeing people from anxiety and attaining goals faster. He says you are just one belief away from your next big breakthrough. In this episode, Tim explains how childhood-formed limiting beliefs drive habits, emotions, and self-sabotage, and outlines a streamlined process: trace uncomfortable feelings to their root, provide missing inner resources, upgrade the core belief, and release trapped emotions like shame or anger. Using a client example of overcoming perfectionism, they discuss separating self-worth from achievements or body image, fostering self-compassion, and viewing life's challenges as game-like opportunities—where upgrading just one belief unlocks the next breakthrough.

Full Text of Readings The Saint of the day is Saint Francis de Sales Saint Francis de Sales' Story Saint Francis de Sales was destined by his father to be a lawyer so that the young man could eventually take his elder's place as a senator from the province of Savoy in France. For this reason Francis was sent to Padua to study law. After receiving his doctorate, he returned home and, in due time, told his parents he wished to enter the priesthood. His father strongly opposed Francis in this, and only after much patient persuasiveness on the part of the gentle Francis did his father finally consent. Francis was ordained and elected provost of the Diocese of Geneva, then a center for the Calvinists. Saint Francis de Sales set out to convert them, especially in the district of Chablais. By preaching and distributing the little pamphlets he wrote to explain true Catholic doctrine, he had remarkable success. At 35, he became bishop of Geneva. While administering his diocese he continued to preach, hear confessions, and catechize the children. His gentle character was a great asset in winning souls. He practiced his own axiom, “A spoonful of honey attracts more flies than a barrelful of vinegar.” Besides his two well-known books, the Introduction to the Devout Life and A Treatise on the Love of God, he wrote many pamphlets and carried on a vast correspondence. For his writings, he has been named patron of the Catholic Press. His writings, filled with his characteristic gentle spirit, are addressed to lay people. He wants to make them understand that they too are called to be saints. As he wrote in The Introduction to the Devout Life: “It is an error, or rather a heresy, to say devotion is incompatible with the life of a soldier, a tradesman, a prince, or a married woman…. It has happened that many have lost perfection in the desert who had preserved it in the world.” In spite of his busy and comparatively short life, he had time to collaborate with another saint, Jane Frances de Chantal, in the work of establishing the Sisters of the Visitation. These women were to practice the virtues exemplified in Mary's visit to Elizabeth: humility, piety, and mutual charity. They at first engaged to a limited degree in works of mercy for the poor and the sick. Today, while some communities conduct schools, others live a strictly contemplative life. Reflection Saint Francis de Sales took seriously the words of Christ, “Learn of me for I am meek and humble of heart.” As he said himself, it took him 20 years to conquer his quick temper, but no one ever suspected he had such a problem, so overflowing with good nature and kindness was his usual manner of acting. His perennial meekness and sunny disposition won for him the title of “Gentleman Saint.”Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

This section of the Evergetinos exposes slander not as a minor moral failure or social misstep but as a profoundly spiritual violence. The Desert Fathers present it as a force that wounds the heart, fractures the mind, and distorts reality itself, not only for the one who is slandered but especially for the one who speaks the lie and for all who consent to it by listening. In the lives of the two Gregories and Abba Makarios, slander arises from a familiar source: the refusal of sinners to endure the silent rebuke of holiness. The purity of Gregory the Wonderworker becomes unbearable to those who live dissolutely. Rather than repent, they must obscure the light that judges them simply by existing. Slander becomes their counterfeit leveling of the field. If the saint can be dragged down into accusation, then their own corruption can remain hidden and unchallenged. What is striking is not merely the cruelty of the accusation but the saintly response. Gregory does not defend himself, does not appeal to his reputation, does not expose the plot, does not demand justice. He refuses to enter the logic of the lie. He acts as though the accusation has no power over his inner world. By paying the woman calmly, he breaks the spell of outrage and self-justification that slander seeks to provoke. His silence is not passivity but clarity. He preserves the integrity of the heart by refusing to let the false word become an interior dialogue. The consequence is immediate and terrifying. The slander does not remain a neutral utterance. It reveals its true nature as communion with darkness. The demonization of the prostitute is not presented as an arbitrary punishment but as a manifestation of what slander already does invisibly. The lie fragments the person. The mind loses its harmony. Perception collapses. The woman becomes externally what slander makes one internally: disintegrated, driven, no longer master of oneself. Only the prayer of the one she accused restores her, revealing that the saint bears not resentment but intercession. The same pattern unfolds in the life of Gregory of Akragas. Years of imprisonment and suffocation are endured without bitterness. His patience becomes a slow purification that exposes truth without violence. When vindication finally comes, it is accompanied by healing, not triumph. The slanderer is restored, while the architects of the lie are left speechless and darkened, their inability to speak symbolizing the final sterility of falsehood. Slander ultimately consumes the voice of the one who practices it. Abba Makarios brings the teaching to its most intimate and terrifying form. He does not merely accept public humiliation. He inwardly consents to the burden placed upon him. He works to support the child he did not father. He rewrites the narrative within himself, not as injustice but as a providential call to greater humility and labor. In doing so, he is purified of even the desire to be seen rightly. When the truth finally emerges, he flees from honor as from fire, knowing that praise can undo what slander, paradoxically, had refined. Across these accounts, the Fathers reveal a severe mercy at work. God allows slander to touch the righteous not because He delights in injustice but because it becomes a furnace in which self-love is burned away. The saint emerges freer, simpler, more transparent. At the same time, slander unmasks itself. It darkens the intellect. It warps perception. It draws others into a shared unreality where suspicion replaces truth and noise replaces discernment. Left unrepented, it leads not to mastery but to loss of speech, loss of sight, loss of coherence. The Evergetinos does not leave the reader neutral. These stories are a warning and an invitation. To endure slander without retaliation is to enter the Cross where Christ Himself was accused, mocked, and condemned in silence. To participate in slander, even subtly, is to consent to a fragmentation of the heart that eventually spreads outward, shaping families, communities, and entire cultures. The Desert Fathers are uncompromising because they are physicians of the soul. They show that words are never merely words. They either heal or deform. And they insist that God, in His mercy, will expose the lie, whether through repentance and healing or through the terrible unveiling of what darkness does when it is allowed to speak unchecked. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:01:05 Fr.

Criminal defense attorney Shelley Levisay was a powerful force to be reckoned with in the courtroom but in her personal life she was being coercively controlled and abused by her boyfriend. In Levisay's memoir “Love is Not Always the Answer” she writes about how this relationship took her to places she never thought she would go & would forceher to face challenges she could have never predicted she would have to conquer: not as a lawyer but as a criminal defendant charged with harboring a fugitive & lastly as a convict fighting to retain her legal license. In this episode, Levisay talks about her own history as a victim of coercive control & details the red flags in Karen Read's behavior towards John O'Keefe that everyone missed. *Shelley Levisay's memoir “Love Isn't Always the Answer”: https://a.co/d/aqoM4fgShelley Levisay's website-https://www.shelleylevisaywrites.com/Get access to exclusive content & support the podcast by becoming a Patron today! https://patreon.com/robertaglasstruecrimereportThrow a tip in the tip jar! https://buymeacoffee.com/robertaglassSupport Roberta by sending a donation via Venmo. https://venmo.com/robertaglassBecome a channnel member for custom Emojis, first looks and exclusive streams here: https://youtube.com/@robertaglass/joinThank you Patrons!Carol Mumumeci, Therese Tunks, JC, Lizzy D, Elizabeth Drake, Texas Mimi, Barb, Deborah Shults, Debra Ratliff, Stephanie Lamberson, Maryellen Sudol, Mona, Karen Pacini, Jen Buell, Marie Horton, ER, Rosie Grace, B.

We're continuing to play it loose to start 2026 while we prepare for the changes coming in late-March-April. So, we will remain "themeless" until we're not. We were both so high on the Predator franchise last year getting TWO movies in 2025, our off-mic chatting led us to this week's episode: 2010's Predators from Director Nimrod Antal and Producer Robert Rodriguez. From IMDB: A group of elite warriors parachute into an unfamiliar jungle and are hunted by members of a merciless alien race. Predators is currently streaming on Hulu. ENJOY!
