This week, The (Charleston) Post and Courier reported that Yemassee Police Chief Greg Alexander — a loyal ally of accused murderer Alex Murdaugh — is under State Grand Jury investigation on accusations that he transported the Murdaugh murder weapons and bloody clothing to his police station after Alex's wife and son were killed on June 7, 2021. For years, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell have reported on Alexander's ties to Murdaugh — and huge questions have existed from the start about his movements that night and why he was at the murder scene at all. Alex's little brother tried to answer those questions at the 2023 trial, but only added to the confusion. While it's encouraging that SLED and the Attorney General's Office are finally investigating, Mandy and Liz smell something fishy. Why is this leaking now? Who benefits from these headlines six months before Alex's trial? And what role, if any, does Team Murdaugh have in making it public?We'll get into more Murdaugh filings on Part Two with all the Mullen matters reserved for next week - tune in Monday 10/5/26 on Patreon, YouTube or Facebook to watch the redacted hearing.Let's Dive In…

Navigating healthcare billing is about to undergo a massive structural shift. For speech-language pathologists, feeding therapists, and private practice owners, the sunsetting of long-standing core CPT codes requires proactive preparation, documentation adjustments, and clear system updates.In this episode, Hallie Bulkin unpacks the upcoming 2027 CPT code overhaul for speech and feeding therapy services. Most notably, standard CPT code 92507 will be replaced by five distinct, specialized codes covering fluency, speech sounds, language, combined speech and language, and voice upper airway dysfunction.Hallie breaks down how to report multiple services provided on the same day, navigate payer-specific policies, apply modifier 59 correctly, and utilize time-based add-on codes using midpoint timing rules. She also discusses the business and clinical importance of building internal feeding therapy expertise to optimize patient care and ensure long-term practice sustainability.Key Topics & TakeawaysThe Replacement of CPT 92507: Preparing for 2027, where 92507 will split into five targeted codes for fluency, speech sound disorders, language, combined speech-language, and voice/upper airway dysfunction.Same-Day Multiple Service Reporting: Understanding how to accurately report distinct clinical services on the same date of service without triggering claim denials or unbundling errors.Applying Modifiers & Timing Rules: Utilizing modifier 59 effectively and calculating session midpoints for time-based add-on codes to secure appropriate reimbursement.Navigating Payer Reductions: Managing payment adjustments, commercial insurance policies, and Medicare guidelines when billing multiple codes per session.Building Internal Feeding Skills: Expanding internal clinical skill sets to keep pediatric feeding care in-house, reducing unnecessary external referrals while growing practice offerings.Soundbites"CPT code 92507 will be replaced by five distinct, specialized codes in 2027—preparing your documentation systems now is essential for practice compliance.""Timing rules and session midpoints dictate when add-on codes can be reported to support accurate, defensible reimbursement.""Understanding payer-specific policies and modifier applications allows you to protect your practice against underbilling or accidental unbundling."Timestamps00:00 — Introduction: Reporting Speech and Feeding Together00:26 — Welcome to The Untethered Podcast & Oral Rest Posture Reminder01:02 — Upcoming CPT Code Changes: Goodbye 92507, Hello 10 New Codes for 202702:21 — Code Bundling vs. Reporting Distinct Services on the Same Day03:06 — Current Billing Landscape: Speech (92507) and Swallowing/Feeding (92526)04:28 — 2027 Session Examples: Midpoint Timing Rules with Speech and Feeding07:06 — Comparing Combined Speech-Language Codes vs. Separate Treatment (Speech Sounds & Voice)11:56 — Expanding Pediatric Feeding Services in Your Practice & Team Mentorship14:27 — Free 3-Day Training Announcement: "Screen the Peds to Feed the Peds"15:43 — Episode Disclaimer, Review Call to Action, and OutroLinks & ResourcesFREE TRAINING: Screen The Peds to Feed The Peds Training.WORTH A LISTEN: CONTINUE YOUR JOURNEYWhat Myofunctional and Feeding Therapists Need to Know About Scope, Coding, and Documentation (Ep 386).Screening vs. Assessment vs. Treatment: Why Every Clinician Needs to Know the Difference (Ep 380).STAY CONNECTED
In her official answer to the ODC, Judge Carmen Mullen says she was just a good citizen worried about a mentally ill man's safety. In Part Two of True Sunlight #166, Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell play the recording from that December 2017 night in Port Royal Plantation and let her own words do the talking. Mullen tells deputies she has sentenced Ernie "the Attorney" before. She questions whether he has a lease and says she told the homeowner to press charges, then introduces herself to that homeowner… for the first time…? She says "you gotta get rid of him" and asks to "find some charges." According to the police report, she also suggests she could sign the warrant herself. We also dig into the threat-filled lawsuit against Ernie that Mullen dismissed months earlier, and a Hilton Head real estate agent named Moose Rini whose name keeps coming up in police reports, trial transcripts, and sentencing memos. Judge Mullen's hearing before the Commission on Judicial Conduct is Tuesday, September 29, in Columbia and our team will be there to capture and share all the details. Let's Dive In…

In part one of this two-part episode, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell finally get an answer to the question they've asked for years: when will South Carolina's Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) and Commission on Judicial Conduct (CJC) act on the ethics complaints against 14th Circuit Court Judge Carmen Tevis Mullen? At 10 a.m. Sept. 29, 2026, Judge Mullen will appear before the CJC in Columbia to defend herself against at least four counts of judicial misconduct stemming from a 2017 tenant dispute in her gated Hilton Head Island neighborhood. According to a police report, she wanted a man known as “Ernie the Attorney” arrested, searched for probable cause, and even suggested she could sign a warrant on the spot. Judge Mullen claims she only wanted Ernie to get mental health care. Mandy and Liz examine the charging document and her answers. In Part Two, the receipts come out. Let's Dive In…
What grade does Paul Skenes deserve for 2026? After he blamed the World Baseball Classic for a down year, is it fair to expect the regular, dominant Skenes in 2027? What is his future like in Pittsburgh? Poni appreciated the fans giving Skenes a standing ovation after his start today. We heard from Joey Porter Jr., who decided to speak to the media after practice today. Porter denied requesting a trade and denied ever getting a second opinion on his ‘back' injury. 93.7 The Fan baseball analyst Matt Clement joined the show. Matt recapped what he thought of Paul Skenes in 2026 – the worst of his 3-year career. Matt said pitchers still think about wins and losses even though it's grown to be pretty irrelevant by baseball's standards. Matt said Skenes probably can't wait for the off-season to begin so he can't immediately get back in the lab and ready for 2027. Signing Brandon Lowe would be atop Matt's wish list, even if it doesn't seem like a big chance of happening. Matt explained why getting Mitch Keller off the books could open a lot of doors for the Pirates going into 2027.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue sharing details from the Mica Francis Miller case that the new Netflix documentary "Death of the Pastor's Wife" didn't include. In Part Two of True Sunlight #165, Mandy and Liz talk about what went down when Pastor JP Miller's most prized church member assets — a couple in law enforcement — finally saw the light. JP not only seemed to think the Horry County Police Department existed to promptly respond to his needs and accept his version of the truth, he seemed to believe he could turn the department against one of their own in retaliation. In 2024, JP and faithful sidekick Tricia Ross went after a former church member's job at HCPD — because the officer allegedly sinned by gossiping about "God's anointed". They appealed to now-former Deputy Chief Brandon Strickland — he who was “working in the shadows” of the Scott Spivey investigation — and Brandon apparently hopped to it. Let's Dive In…

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue sharing details from the Mica Francis Miller case that the new Netflix documentary "Death of the Pastor's Wife" didn't include. Part One of True Sunlight #165 looks at the friends, acquaintances and assets JP had in his apparent mission to punish Mica for trying to leave him on her terms … not his. When Mandy and Liz first reported on this case in 2024, they knew Horry County Police Department was — how do we put this? — not good. Police reports obtained through FOIA told the story of a woman repeatedly reaching out for help and being told there was nothing they could do. But after nearly two years covering the Scott Spivey case and HCPD's corrupt investigation, Mandy and Liz have a whole new perspective: it wasn't just bad policing … it was policing from an agency known for helping out their friends. Between church members in law enforcement and JP's employee Tricia Ross, Mica wasn't just up against her powerful pastor husband … she was up against his flock of wolves in police clothing.

This Soundbite from the Vault packs three genuinely useful sections into one digestible clip, and each one stands on its own.It opens with something most emergency medicine physicians quietly wonder about before making the pivot: what does it actually feel like to work in a ketamine clinic after years of shift work? Dr. Nico Grundmann, founder of Ember Health in New York and an emergency physician with an MBA from Stanford, gives a refreshingly honest answer. The schedule changes. The mental model changes. The relationships you build with patients are unlike anything the ER allows. And for the right person, all of that is exactly the point.The middle section pulls back the curtain on what patient care can actually look like. From the first call to the four-visit induction series to long-term maintenance care, Dr. Grundmann walks through the full patient journey at Ember, including their 84 percent real-world treatment response rate and why they believe the care coordination model is what drives it.It closes with the three things Dr. Grundmann would tell anyone opening their own ketamine practice. Not generic advice. Specific, hard-won pillars that have shaped how Ember operates across five New York City locations and more than 2,200 patients treated.What You'll Gain:· An honest account of what actually changes when you move from emergency medicine to a ketamine clinic, including the parts most people do not talk about before making the leap· Why care coordination takes up 30 to 40 percent of the day at Ember and what that means for EM physicians who are used to handing off at the end of a shift · A clear picture of what the patient journey looks like inside a well-run ketamine practice, from first consultation through long-term maintenance care · Why Ember's real-world treatment response rate of 84 percent outperforms the published academic data of 75 percent and what Dr. Grundmann believes is driving that difference · The three pillars Dr. Grundmann would share with any provider opening their own ketamine clinic, built from years of operational experience across multiple sitesEpisode 65 show notes:00:00:00 Teaser: "This isn't a role where you clock out and you're done."00:00:13 Episode Introduction 00:01:25 What Is It Actually Like to Work in a Ketamine Clinic After Years of Shift Work?00:03:20 Who Is a Good Fit: Longitudinal Care, Fixed Schedule, and Panel Management00:05:00 For the Right Person It Checks Every Box: What the Fulfilling Version of This Work Looks Like00:07:58 What Does the Patient Journey Actually Look Like from First Call to Treatment?00:10:30 Real-World Treatment Response Data: 84 Percent at Ember vs. 75 Percent in Published Literature00:12:33 Three Pieces of Advice for Anyone Opening Their Own Ketamine Clinic00:14:36 Episode Ending Thanks for listeningSelected Links From the Episode:Want to go deeper?

In Part Two of Two, Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell go officer by officer through the allegations contained in the Spivey family's federal complaint against Horry County police. And through every level of the investigation, the alleged conspiracy comes sharply into focus. According to the lawsuit, the conspiracy to protect Weldon Boyd and Bradley Williams started immediately after they shot and killed Scott Spivey on Sept. 9, 2023, on an Horry County, SC, highway. And it continued through the power and influence of the now former Deputy Chief of Police Brandon Strickland, a close friend of Weldon, who allegedly directed the investigation in a direction favorable to his buddy. But Strickland isn't the only officer with dirt on his hands, according to the Spiveys.. Officer Daniel Spencer allegedly feeding investigation details to Weldon Boyd. Officer Kerry Higgs telling Weldon to stop talking. Damon Vescovi granting Weldon's attorney access to an unsecured scene. Lt. Doug Dishong allegedly ordering body cameras off while evidence was still being handled. And Scott's body left baking in his truck, towed 45 minutes to an impound lot, and an autopsy the coroner never recommended — allegedly pushed to inflate a blood alcohol reading. Plus a never-before-heard internal affairs interview, the September 11th "be nice to Weldon" meeting, and the phone download that allegedly hid 100-mph chase speeds from the case file. Are these just a series of failures and coincidences… or is this what a cover-up looks like when it's finally dragged into the sunlight? Let's Dive In…

On the eve of the third anniversary of Scott Spivey's killing, his family filed a bombshell federal lawsuit against Horry County and 13 current and former police officers — including former Deputy Chief Brandon Strickland, former Chief Joseph Hill, and "act like a victim" Officer Damon Vescovi. The complaint alleges a coordinated conspiracy to steer the investigation toward exonerating Weldon Boyd and Bradley Williams from the very first hours: unseized phones, returned weapons, disabled body cameras, coached witnesses, a retroactively altered on-call schedule, a wiped tablet — and, for the first time in a court filing, the allegation that officers planted drugs in Scott's truck. Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down the full list of accusations, revisit Strickland's own recorded words about working "in the shadows," and explain why the Spivey family's fight against qualified immunity may be the battle of all battles.

SummaryWe have spent three seasons building this podcast around a simple bet: that a sitcom about a losing football club could teach us something true about leading schools. Season Four asks a harder question than the ones we started with. Not whether to believe. What to do once belief is not enough on its own.That is the idea behind Beyond Believe, and it framed everything Garth and I talked about in this launch episode. We opened by looking back at how the podcast itself has evolved, then turned to what sustainable leadership actually requires day to day. Garth walked through his own practices, including the listening tours he uses to keep his read on an organization honest rather than assumed. We introduced Rocket Fuel and the visionary integrator model as a lens for balancing big picture thinking with the follow through that makes it real.We also previewed the mental health summit coming to Banff, including the keynote speakers and themes we are most looking forward to, because sustaining leadership is not just a strategy question. It is a personal one too.From there we went back to Ted Lasso itself, tracing how Season Four handles women in sports and empowerment, and what it shows us about mentoring relationships and knowing when someone is ready to lead without you. We closed on a question worth sitting with: should an organization adapt to the people already in it, or expect those people to adapt to it? Ted's answer, and ours, is that he moves slowly toward his team. He does not wait for them to come to him.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Season 4 of Ted Lasso and Leadership Themes03:50 Hosts Discuss the Evolution of the Podcast and New Season Focus05:12 Theme of Beyond Believe: Moving from Belief to Strategy and Culture06:01 Building Sustainable Leadership Practices in Education07:00 Garth Shares His Practices for Sustainability and Listening Tours09:00 Introduction to Rocket Fuel and Visionary Integration Leadership10:33 Upcoming Mental Health Summit in Banff and Key Speakers12:50 Highlights of Keynote Speakers and Topics at the Summit18:56 Leadership Lessons from Ted Lasso: Women in Sports and Empowerment20:47 Mentoring Relationships and Recognizing Readiness to Lead23:55 Adapting Leadership to Team and Organizational Needs26:56 Ted Lasso's Social Dynamics and Leadership Insights27:59 Closing Thoughts and Upcoming Season HighlightsKey TakeawaysBeyond Believe marks a shift for the podcast and for the season, moving from the case for believing in something to the harder work of building strategy and culture around that belief.Sustainable leadership is a practice, not a personality trait. Listening tours, in particular, keep a leader's understanding of their organization grounded in what people are actually experiencing rather than what a leader assumes.The visionary integrator model, drawn from Rocket Fuel, offers a useful way to think about pairing big picture leadership with the operational discipline needed to carry it out.Mentoring is not just about developing someone. It is about recognizing the moment they are ready to lead without you, and having the humility to let them.Adaptability cuts both ways. The real question for any leader is whether the organization should adapt to the people in it or expect those people to adapt to it, and Ted Lasso comes down clearly on the side of moving toward your team.Mental health is not separate from leadership sustainability. It is a foundation for it, which is part of why the upcoming Banff summit matters to this work.Sound Bites"Leadership is about recognizing when your mentee is ready to go on their own.""Should our organization adapt to us or to them?""Ted slowly moves towards his team, not expecting them to come to him."Keep Leading the Lasso Way.
The Modern Therapist's Survival Guide with Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy
The Clinical Depth Principle: Why Therapy Cannot Be Reduced to Tools, Hacks, and Sound Bites Curt and Katie on the clinical depth principle: case conceptualization, pacing, and the limits of coping skills. Curt Widhalm, LMFT, and Katie Vernoy, LMFT take on this month's modern therapist principle, clinical depth over simplification, and the two extremes the profession keeps swinging between. On one side is a therapy culture shaped by medicalization, medical necessity documentation, productivity pressure, and pop psychology trends that flatten complicated people into one size fits all narratives. On the other is the overcorrection, where clinical ambition outpaces the client and depth work turns into chasing catharsis before the relationship can hold it. Curt and Katie talk about why reaching for a worksheet is usually a reaction to real systemic pressure rather than a lack of care, how tools can quietly become the therapist's own defense mechanism, and why premature depth without pacing or consent can push a client outside their window of tolerance. They also describe what clinical depth looks like in their own sessions, from process versus content and case conceptualization to helping clients track their capacity, not just their story. A useful conversation for therapists, supervisors, and clinicians in community mental health or private practice who want deeper clinical reasoning without flooding their clients. In this episode, we discuss: - Why the pull toward tools, hacks, and protocols is a response to systemic pressure - How medicalization and medical necessity documentation shape what happens in session - Why social media has become the cheapest available substitute for clinical consultation - The difference between content and process in ongoing clinical work - Why premature depth, without pacing or consent, is not clinical depth - How to track a client's capacity rather than only their story - What it takes to build your own capacity for deep clinical work Timestamps: 01:53 - The principle: clinical depth over simplification 04:19 - Medicalization and the trade therapists made for legitimacy 09:47 - Content versus process in ongoing clinical work 11:46 - Tools as the therapist's defense mechanism 14:51 - Social media as the cheapest available consultation 19:03 - Premature depth, consent, and common factors 22:47 - What the research says about symptom control versus depth 24:44 - Everything is process, everything is pattern 27:12 - Tracking capacity, not just story 30:23 - Building the capacity to do deep work Full show notes and transcript: mtsgpodcast.com Join the Modern Therapist Community Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mtsgpodcast Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/therapyreimagined Modern Therapist's Survival Guide Creative Credits Voice Over by DW McCann: https://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Mangano: https://groomsymusic.com/

Follow The DROP FEED on Apple, Spotify or Ad-Free from LUNASHARK Premium on Patreon or Supercast COERCED: The Devotion & Death of Mica Francis Miller is a LUNASHARK® DROP-FEED from the award-winning team behind the Murdaugh Murders Podcast — investigative journalists Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Beth Braden — along with producers Kate Thomas, Grace Hills and David Moses. It's a remastered, chronological retelling of more than 2 years of original reporting from the True Sunlight Podcast, built for listeners who want to follow one case. On April 27, 2024, 30-year-old Mica Miller — wife of Myrtle Beach pastor John-Paul Miller — walked a mile into a North Carolina state park and made a 911 call that would be the last time the world heard her voice. Within days, her death was ruled a suicide — a ruling that would have ended the story for most true crime journalists. In the premiere of our remastered Drop-Feed series, Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell return to where their reporting began: the bizarre sermon Pastor JP Miller delivered the morning after his estranged wife's death. An obituary that reads like a taunt. A criminal history that includes running over a woman with a car — twice. And a stack of police reports showing Mica tracked, harassed, and hospitalized against her will in the months before she died. Police say that JP Miller didn't pull the trigger. But as Mandy and Liz explain — there's more than one way to end a life. COERCED takes a deeper look at JP Miller's dark past that includes rape allegations, alleged bestiality, an assault conviction and pardon, and a pattern of allegedly abusive behavior that can be traced back to his father — Rev. Wayne Miller. JP's felon father once owned a Christian complex in South Carolina called Gloryland… before it mysteriously burned down. Through exclusive interviews, 911 calls, court filings, and documents obtained through relentless FOIA requests, COERCED examines coercive control, medical and spiritual abuse, and the systems that dismissed a woman fighting for her life — and asks what accountability looks like. Mica couldn't save herself. But her story could save others. This series discusses domestic abuse, coercive control, and suicide.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell take a break from the Alex Murdaugh retrial drama this week to revisit one of the most devastating cases they've covered in their careers: the 2015 death of 38-year-old Sara Lynn Moore Colucci. Nine years after Sarah Lynn Colucci's mother Barbara Moore filed a wrongful death lawsuit, accused killer Michael Colucci finally sat for his deposition — after skipping two of them — and pleaded the Fifth roughly 100 times, refusing to answer everything from the color of his tie to his own birthday. We break down the devastating questions he wouldn't answer about the autopsy findings, his shifting stories, and his financial troubles — and why Barbara's new motion for summary judgment asks the judge to apply adverse inferences to 28 of them. They also expose the staggering double standard of South Carolina justice: Colucci was fined just $1,283.00 for blowing off two depositions, while Mandy was ordered to pay $176,500.00 in a case she isn't even a party to. Plus, an exciting announcement: COERCED: The Devotion & Death of Mica Francis Miller, the first LUNASHARK® “Drop-Feed”, launches Friday. Let's Dive In…

In this episode, Jason Leydon and Ryan discuss the extremes of endurance, the importance of program design, and the pitfalls of relying on templated programs in gyms. They explore how outliers in sports demonstrate extraordinary mental toughness and how gym owners can improve their programming and coaching strategies. Key Topics Extreme endurance feats and their lessons for training The importance of personalized program design The role of mental toughness and resilience in sports Pitfalls of relying on cookie-cutter gym programs Strategies for gym owners to improve member retention and performance Takeaways Extreme endurance athletes demonstrate extraordinary mental toughness and strategic effort management.

Part Two of Two There's a new Creighton Waters in town… In Part 2 of Episode 161, Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down the stunning filing in which the lead prosecutor formally corrected Dick Harpootlian's false claim that Alex Murdaugh passed a polygraph "with flying colors" — complete with a savage citation noting defense co-counsel's incredulous reactions in real time. Then, Joe McCullough pushes himself into the spotlight while pushing to unseal the Egg Lady records — conveniently trying to pull the in-camera transcripts from view that tell the real story. Dots Connected: Judge McCaslin's change-of-venue ruling leans on the Beach v. Parker venue order that bashes Liz and Mandy's opinions, the one built on months of purchased lawfare, harassment, and a landline survey of 333 people, and designed to blame journalists for publicity the villains created themselves.

Part One of Two Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down everything that happened at Alex Murdaugh's most recent hearing.Team Murdaugh came to Friday's retrial hearing armed with a "bombshell" that turned out to be a dud… a rumor from fitsnews claiming Murdaugh murder weapons were tied to a recent Allendale County killing. However, no article existed, prosecutor Creighton Waters had never heard of it, and SLED debunked the claim within minutes.Mandy and Liz break down how the fumble unraveled in real time — and why so much of the media ran with it anyway. Then there's the venue circus: Dick Harpootlian putting his own associate on the stand to testify about budget hotels and Cracker Barrel commutes, insisting on Charleston-only... before pivoting to Richland County in a Monday letter to Judge McCaslin. Plus, the ruling that matters most: Alex's sworn testimony from the first trial — the lies, the kennel video admission, all of it — is allowed into the record in Murdaugh 2.0. Testifying has consequences. So does lying about where you were when your family was murdered.Vote for Laura Richards and Mandy Matney's SXSW Panel!Let's Dive In…
In this episode of the Sacred Purpose Podcast, Lisa Malia and Beth Clayton explore themes of vulnerability, grief, and the journey of self-discovery. They discuss the impact of the 'good girl' archetype on personal growth and leadership, emphasizing the importance of embracing both light and shadow in our lives. The conversation delves into the transformative experiences that arise from navigating grief and the role of community in healing. Beth shares her insights on intimacy and relationships, highlighting the significance of being authentic and transparent in our connections with others. In this conversation, Beth Clayton and Lisa Malia explore the profound journey of self-discovery, healing, and the transformation of inner demons into guardians. They discuss the importance of facing our fears, the emotional depth of personal growth, and the complexities of navigating relationships as we evolve. The dialogue emphasizes the significance of understanding our own patterns and the role of the 'wild daughter' archetype in embracing our authentic selves. Takeaways: Grief can be a profound teacher and companion. The 'good girl' archetype often protects us from facing grief. Leadership involves showing vulnerability and humility. Self-discovery is a continuous journey, often through dark times. Embracing both our light and shadow leads to wholeness. Community plays a crucial role in healing and transformation. Intimacy requires authenticity and transparency. We all have parts of ourselves that need to be acknowledged and integrated. The journey of healing can reveal unexpected allies and lessons. Transformation often comes from surrendering to the process. Empathy arises from personal experience and humility. Facing our demons can lead to profound self-discovery. Demons can transform into guardians when we embrace them. The journey of healing is not just about lessons but about experiencing aliveness. Navigating relationships requires understanding our own changes. We put down patterns, not people, in our growth journey. Sovereignty is about becoming the one we were looking for. Intimacy requires discernment and understanding of our own needs. Grief is a necessary part of the healing process. The wild daughter archetype represents our authentic self in the journey. Beth Clayton is the founder of Born Wild™, an initiatory journey guiding highly sensitive, visionary women from unmasking their Good Girl conditioning into embodied Untamed sovereignty — so they can build a life and legacy that finally reflect the truth of who they are and the depth of their hunger. A TEDx Broadway speaker, somatic mentor, and ceremonialist with over 15 years of experience — and an MFA in Acting from one of the nation's top conservatories — Beth blends nervous system work, mythic storytelling, archetypal embodiment, and ritual to create immersive transformational thresholds rather than traditional coaching programs. Her work calls women back to the wisdom of their bodies, the medicine of their lived experience, and the leadership that emerges when they root into who they have always been — before the masks.

Alex Murdaugh is due back in court for another hearing this week and investigative journalist Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are more ready than ever. In today's episode Mandy and Liz share the highlights from the stack of filings made by Team Murdaugh and the prosecution ahead of the Aug. 14th hearing in front of Judge Debra McCaslin. Team Murdaugh's surprisingly polished 26-page motion to move the second murder trial of the century out of the 14th Circuit, and the state's pointed response asking what's so special about the Holy City top the list. The co-hosts also dig into the state's bombshell request for a never-before-seen extraction of Alex's phone data citing former clients' permission to waive privilege, the fight over the DNA under Maggie's fingernails, and so much more. Let's Dive In…
Part Two of Two Some good news first: Judge Richard Gergel dismissed Alex Murdaugh's federal lawsuit demanding $600,000 from former Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill, pointing to the "fatal flaw" sitting at the center of it.Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell explain why agreeing with the ruling isn't the same as defending Becky Hill — and why they always believed the suit was less about money than about spectacle, subpoena power, and keeping everyone's eyes off the double homicide case.Then, Gregg Roman. The Middle East Forum executive director hired by billionaire gas station owner Greg Parker now calls himself an investigative journalist in court filings, and the South Carolina Supreme Court has agreed to take his appeal to keep his bank records away from the Beach family. Mandy and Liz walk through South Carolina's autopsy photo laws, the Dale Earnhardt and Kobe Bryant precedents, and the one question buried under all the noise: who gave Gregg Roman photos of Mallory Beach's body?Let's Dive In…
[Part One of Two] Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell walk through the motion to reconsider filed by Mandy's attorneys to combat the unprecedented and arguably unconstitutional $176,500 civil contempt sanction. Mandy and Liz lay out how the process went sideways from the start: a rule to show cause with no verified petition, a hearing where her own compelled testimony was used to supply the missing foundation, and an order that cites her podcast and social media commentary as evidence against her — while conceding that speech was protected — it's a farce. Liz Farrell adds context on the five-star hotel bills, the fees no one gets to inspect, and the one person who predicted this outcome on the day of the deposition before any proceeding began. Let's Dive In…
Part Two of Two South Carolina fined journalist Mandy Matney $5,000 to “deter similar conduct in the future and promote respect for the law.” It fined Cory Fleming, $0. Becky Hill, $0. Alex Murdaugh — who stole more than $12 million from grieving clients — $0. Mandy opens Part Two of Episode 158 by laying that math out plainly, and asking what message it sends to every whistleblower in the state trying to change its broken systems. Then journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell turn to Murdaugh v. Hill, the federal suit in which Alex demands at least $600,000 from the former clerk of court for what his lawyers call “criminal jury tampering” — a charge prosecutors declined to bring, because the jurors telling the story couldn't keep it straight. Plus: Becky's motion to dismiss, Phil Barber's savage briefs, another sealed discovery order, and why a sourdough starter metaphor explains this entire mess.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell have some questions about a Spartanburg County Police report… made by none other than Debbie Barbier… When Greg Parker's attorney Deborah Barbier told Spartanburg police she'd been “harassed” in a hotel lobby the morning of Mandy's contempt hearing on June 22, 2026, the department did something our team has never seen done so thoroughly for a harassment complaint made by a woman: it investigated. Multiple officers. Multiple weeks. Untold public monies. Search warrants signed by magistrate judges with no explanation of what probable cause existed — including a search of Mandy's Marriott room records and private guest information divulged over the phone. Hours of surveillance footage later, police could not locate the confrontation Barbier described, and the case is now listed as "inactive". We're revisiting what South Carolina's harassment statute actually says, and ask why protected first amendment activities keep getting recast as crimes… and why behavior matching the statute is disregarded. Then we relook at McClatchy reporter John Monk's coverage of Mandy's contempt proceedings through the prism of his 44 year old son's federal indictment on child sexual abuse material charges — to which Monk Jr. has pleaded not guilty. We have questions… Let's Dive In…
Ten days after an unprecedented contempt order shook South Carolina to its core, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are still standing — and they've got a lot of ground to cover. First, Mandy updates listeners on jaw-dropping injustice as we dig our foxholes and announce a new addition to her growing legal team intent on defending the first amendment and due process. Then, things get a little... cinematic… because the Lee Gilley saga has officially crossed into foreign territory. Lee is still in Italy. The extradition fight is stalling. Harris County keeps fumbling the ball. And somehow, a man named Matthew Jackson managed to squat inside Christa Bauer's million-dollar Houston home while all of this was happening. It's the WILD WILD WEST. It's lawless. It's outrageous. It's a lot. Christa deserved better — and we're pressing on to uncover The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Let's Dive In…
[Part Two of Two] In Part Two, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down exactly how Parker's attorneys weaponized a judge's old-fashioned notions of what a scared woman looks like — and why South Carolina's appointed judiciary has no reason to care what you think about it… Demand better! Attorneys for a billionaire gas station owner allegedly billed $310,000 (allegedly because the invoices are secret) — the cost of approximately two murder defenses — in secret billings – to punish a journalist for wanting to feel safe at her own deposition. A deposition that was attempted in March and happened in April. Judge R. Keith Kelly obliged them, ordering Mandy to pay $171,500 in attorneys fees and a $5,000 fine to coerce a deposition that already happened back in April. We believe that Mandy's constitutional rights were violated and it makes us worry for all of us. The contempt charge brought by attorneys who represented Alex Murdaugh's convicted co-conspirators and decided by the same judge who lets Gregg Roman continue to dodge his deposition… the lesson is clear: EVADE SERVICE at all costs and skate free. Cooperate to your best ability: and they'll ruin your life in return. Let's Dive In…
[Part One of Two] Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell react to a stunning contempt ruling ordering Mandy to pay a $5,000 fine and $171,500 for billionaire Greg Parker's legal fees — a sum greater than what many murder defendants pay for their entire defense, and a penalty whose line-item breakdown has been sealed from Mandy and the public. Mandy argues the ruling has nothing to do with a missed deposition and everything to do with punishing a journalist who refused to stay quiet. David Moses reads directly from South Carolina contempt law to expose how the order may exceed its own legal authority. Then Liz breaks down the bigger picture: the evidence connecting Greg Parker to Gregg Roman, the photos of Mallory Beach's dead body, and the documentary that used them — a puzzle hiding in plain sight while Parker's attorneys keep everyone focused on Mandy. This is a fight for the First Amendment for a woman's safety. And it's just getting started. Let's Dive In…
