As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, this full-length special brings together all four parts of our deep investigation into the case of Donna Adelson — the grandmother, mother, and alleged mastermind at the center of one of Florida's most shocking murder-for-hire conspiracies. This is the complete, unbroken story — from the private family dynamics that prosecutors say sparked a deadly plot, to the public trial that could end with Donna spending the rest of her life behind bars. We begin inside the Adelson family, where Donna's influence allegedly shaped everything — including her children's decisions and the years-long feud with Florida State law professor Dan Markel. The state claims Donna's control and obsession with family “image” turned toxic, driving the financial schemes, the $1 million relocation bribe offer, and the custody-fueled resentment that ultimately led to murder. Next, we break down Donna's public and private narrative control — from the coded language in her jail calls to her tone-shifting conversations designed to manipulate both family and public perception. Even behind bars, her words carry weight, painting herself as a misunderstood matriarch while sidestepping accountability. Then comes her biggest gamble yet — the possibility of testifying in her own defense. Alongside Defense Attorney Eric Faddis, we explore the psychology, confidence, and potential ego behind that decision. Could Donna's instinct for control be the very thing that exposes her to devastating cross-examination? We also examine how prosecutors plan to connect the dots — from the financial transactions to Katherine Magbanua, to Luis Rivera's testimony about “the lady” ordering the hit, to the one-way ticket to Vietnam that speaks louder than words. Finally, we look at the aftermath: the intergenerational trauma facing the Adelson grandchildren, the moral collapse of a family once built on privilege and perception, and the lasting stain this case leaves on every name attached to it.

This Sunday, don't miss the Race of the Day: Grade 1 Matriarch Stakes at Del Mar. Ashley Mailloux and Gino Buccola share their expert perspectives.

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we're revisiting one of the most jaw-dropping courtroom sagas of the year — the unraveling of Donna Adelson, the 75-year-old grandmother accused of orchestrating the murder-for-hire plot that took the life of Florida State law professor Dan Markel. In two of the year's most explosive episodes, Tony Brueski sat down with both Defense Attorney Bob Motta (Defense Diaries) and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer to break down how a once-untouchable matriarch's arrogance and denial helped destroy her family's last shred of credibility. Donna's courtroom appearance was supposed to humanize her. Instead, it showcased the same manipulative charm and self-delusion that prosecutors say fueled her alleged role in the murder conspiracy. From the stand, she painted herself as a frail victim of “inhumane jail conditions” — right before prosecutors rolled out recorded jailhouse calls in which she and her son Charlie Adelson discuss potential escape routes and non-extradition countries. Oops. Motta dissects the strategic disaster of Donna testifying at her own bond hearing — a move that may go down as one of the biggest self-inflicted wounds in recent courtroom history. Coffindaffer takes it even deeper, exposing the psychology behind Donna's belief that she could still talk her way out of accountability, decades after manipulating everyone around her. From family loyalty turned liability to delusion on display, this episode captures the full scope of Donna's implosion — and what it means for the rest of the Adelson family heading into the next phase of legal battles. Will she ever take a plea? Could she flip on her daughter Wendi? Or does Donna still believe she can win the game — even when the board's already on fire?

A game show rivalry meets runner wisdom in a rubber match that's equal parts chaotic, helpful, and heartfelt. We pit Team Rise and Run against Team Will Run For in a custom Family Feud built from real Run Disney life: favorite expo merch, the best post‑race resort pools, the cleanest, quietest in‑park bathrooms for that urgent corral P‑stop, and the most energizing on‑course entertainment that isn't a character. Along the way, you'll hear how tiny choices—like a mug over a pin, a quiet pool over a volcano slide, or Norway over the TTC—add up to a calmer, faster, happier race day.We also shine a light on community. Michael shares details for the Virtually Live 5K supporting Unite For Her and the scholarship created in Erin's honor at Rowan/Cooper for medical students focused on oncology. After a nail‑biting Fast Money, we cap the show with a surprise donation to Erin's fund—a reminder that this sport is bigger than split times and park playlists.Beyond the feud, we dig into practical takeaways you can use immediately: which expo vendors are worth the stop (Sparkle Athletic, Fit2Run, and more), how to plan bathroom strategy on Walt Disney World race courses, and which non‑character entertainment—gospel choirs, marching bands, live actors—can carry you through late miles. We round it out with training updates, medal reactions, and a packed race report loaded with PRs, tips, and laughs.Press play for a smart, lively tour through Run Disney culture that balances fun and function.

His music is available on major streaming platforms like Spotify.Other Work: He has worked as a youth pastor and, as of late 2023, was reportedly driving for Uber in Nashville to cover his bills. Notable FactsBirth: Born on July 30, 1974, in Owensboro, Kentucky.Personality: On The Real World, he was known for his conservative views, abstinence from alcohol and sex, and a dramatic interaction with castmate Tammy in a Winnebago that inadvertently inspired the show Road Rules.Online Presence: He actively shares updates about his music and podcast on his Instagram and Facebook pages. For more information, visit his official website at jonbrennan.com. _________________________________________________________________________Then later I welcome my sweet friend Kim Bellas joins me to talk about her AMAZING platform called Sober is the NEW Cool.

Throat-singing Inuit sisters Tiffany Ayalik and Inuksuk Mackay released their sixth album, offering a soundtrack to the traditional stories they grew up with. "Legends" blends PIQSIQ's cultural improvisational technique with sophisticated studio production. First Nations Cree singer LOV is on tour, propelled by the success of the video releases for the singles, "Matriarch" and "Mama". Her upbeat soulful, rhythmic style invokes Amy Winehouse, but LOV has a message all her own drawn from her roots on her Treaty Six Reserve. Country crooner Blaine Bailey barely blinked after getting eliminated from the musical competition reality show, "The Road". He hit the road with his own tour singing songs from his album, "Indian Country", with a classic sound built around lyrics full of Native pride.

We are finally done talking about Sex and the City!We conclude our discussion with an examination of Miranda and Charlotte as foils of one another, and through the lens of archetypes rather than fully developed characters, branching off from our talk last episode about the theory of the three other women as facets of Carrie.This leads to the most interesting part of the entire series, where we delve into the classic four-character-group dynamic, with the archetypes of Patriarch, Matriarch, Craftsman, and Clown. We spend way too much time (probably) talking about famous groups of four characters and how they fit in to these archetypes, leading with Sex and the City, The Golden Girls, and the March sisters from Little Women. We found the pattern fits for the Beatles, the Plastics from Mean Girls, the Hobbits from The Lord of the Rings, and many more...Further Reading:Arrested Development creator Mitchell Hurwitz talks about the archetypes and the Bluth siblingsBuzzfeed breaks down a bunch of four-character groupsBuzzfeed also highlights how Miranda was always the worst

If Part 1 cracked open what it means to move from Superwoman to Matriarch, this episode dives into the fire and responsibility of actually embodying her.Motherhood initiates you—but the matriarch is forged in the flames of maturity, devotion, and surrender. This isn't about doing more, it's about becoming the rooted, embodied woman your family's frequency depends on.In Part 2: Embodying the Matriarch, we explore:The initiation that begins when you let the maiden die.How culture's obsession with agelessness keeps women stuck in survival.The sacred power of personal responsibility—not over-functioning, not detaching, but standing in self-trust.The 3 C's of matriarchal stewardship.The truth that your nervous system is your altar—and your wellbeing shapes your family's entire ecosystem.Why the matriarch leads by frequency, not force.This conversation is for the woman learning to hold paradox, create space, and lead her life from devotion instead of depletion.If you've been feeling the pull to redefine power in your partnership and remember the woman you're becoming—this episode is your reminder:You are the hearth. You are the home. You are the frequency your family follows.CLICK HERE to listen to part 1 of this series.Send us a message and let us know what you love about this episodeImportant Links: www.Megthompson.com Attuned - CLICK HERE Let's Connect on Instagram - CLICK HERE

When the Florida Department of Corrections locked the door on Donna Adelson, it didn't just end a chapter in the Dan Markel murder case — it ended a dynasty built on money, manipulation, and control. For years, the Adelsons operated like a family above the law — insulated by privilege, convinced they could script reality itself. But that illusion shattered when a Tallahassee jury saw through the act and convicted 75-year-old Donna Adelson of orchestrating the murder of her former son-in-law, FSU law professor Dan Markel. Now, the woman who once ruled her family with an iron will faces her ultimate punishment: life behind concrete and steel, where her status means nothing and her name earns only whispers. In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down what Donna's life will actually look like inside Florida's women's prison system — from intake and strip searches to social hierarchies and survival strategies. Drawing on verified reporting and first-hand inmate accounts, we explore what happens when a narcissist who's lived for power loses every ounce of it. There's no staff to command. No family to manipulate. No control. Just noise, confinement, and a slow psychological unraveling known as narcissistic collapse. We examine the psychology behind her downfall, the sociology of aging inmates, and the poetic justice of watching a lifelong manipulator become invisible in a world she can't dominate. Donna Adelson will never walk free again. Her son Charlie sits in his own cage. Her daughter Wendy waits for her turn in the spotlight. And the woman who thought she could bend reality is now learning what reality really feels like — cold, loud, and merciless. This is the fall of Donna Adelson — and the silence of a cell she can never escape.

In this episode, we dive deep into the tension between emotional triggers and personal responsibility. From Kevin McCall's raw revelation that wealth doesn't shield you from life's unpredictability, to Gucci Mane's candid conversation with The Breakfast Club about his mental health journey—we explore how healing begins with honesty.I also reflect on the books I've read this week: Kamala's 107 Days, A Promised Land by Barack Obama, and Matriarch by Tina Knowles. Each story offers a unique lens on leadership, legacy, and the emotional labor of showing up—especially when triggered. Three ways to take responsibility even when triggered:• Pause before reacting: Give yourself space to respond, not explode.• Own your patterns: Recognize when past wounds are shaping present behavior.• Communicate with intention: Speak from truth, not trauma.Let's talk about what it means to be emotionally honest and accountable. Because growth isn't just about feeling—it's about choosing.Follow me on the blog www.toitime.org As well as on all socials as Toitimeblog

On the morning of May 17th, 2014, a detective wrote furiously as she sat next to the hospital bed of a mortally-injured 77-year-old woman. The woman had been in a coma for the last ten days, and the detective had been desperately working to figure out who had tried to kill her. Now that the woman had woken up, the detective was finally getting the chance she'd been waiting for – to ask her victim directly. But the woman was afraid. She told the detective she had a lot to say, but she couldn't say it here, at the hospital – because she was still in danger.

Client Reviews… ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  Jenny's teachings have produced results reconnecting me with my estranged daughter I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support and guidance received in the most tragic time of my life from coach Jenny Good. Her faith, compassion, understanding, dedication and display of radical love has truly been life-changing for me. I was so overwhelmed with feelings of confusion, guilt, and sadness. I felt lost and didn't know how to navigate through the emotional turmoil I was experiencing. However, from the very first call, Jenny created a safe and non-judgmental space for me to share my details. Her ability to listen attentively and empathize while helping me understand a different way of thinking is truly remarkable. She understood my feelings and offered tools each session in ways I have not experienced even from therapy. I am forever thankful for the medicine she has poured into me to be the very best version of myself! This has rippled into all areas of life for me. Jenny's teachings have produced results reconnecting me with my estranged daughter! Thank you for being the vessel of unwavering faith & love that so many of us could benefit from, estranged or not. A true Godsend.  - Melinda Wyman . ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am living a truly happy life, and I reconciled with my son  Having a coach and mentor who is rooted in Christ is very important. I've experienced so much inner healing with Jenny as my Coach. I am living a truly happy life, and I reconciled with my son! I feel empowered to continue stepping into my full power as a mother and to live a life where my children matter, but they don't determine my worth. I am me again. - Carol Adams
