Before We Dive InRecording this on August 26th, and I want to say clearly at the start: I am feeling a bit low. The eclipse energy has been personally challenging in a number of ways, and also — Dolly Parton and Tim Curry have both passed, within days of each other. Both around 80 years old. I loved them both, for very different reasons, and I find their passing sitting in me in that particular way that celebrity deaths sometimes do, when someone has been part of the landscape of your whole life.I'm telling you this because it's also very much the energy of this week. This is the come-down after eclipse season. If you're feeling deflated, that's appropriate. That's the astrology. The cards are honest about it — but they end in a place of genuine hope. If you're looking for that hopeful note right now, go and watch the September 10th Virgo New Moon video I just put up. That one has more light in it.This week: do your inner work. Go into the woods. Slow your roll.Subscribe free on Substack for all posts in your inbox. Spiral Weave / Spiral Codex membership — $10/month or $90/year.Venus Retrograde: Heroine's Journey — I'll decide on the final pricing when I'm back from Chicago. For now, it's still open and I'll let you know. Two tiers: the basic Venus Retrograde course, and Dragon Rider (adds a year of Spiral Codex membership, a 30-minute one-on-one with me, and a personal gift). louiseedington.com/VenusRetrograde2026One more small thing: if you enjoy astrology AND music, Chris Brennan did an extraordinary interview with Roland Orzabal from Tears for Fears about his astrology memoir. It's worth your time. I've listened twice and bought the hard copy.The Energy of This WeekWe come off the lunar eclipse on August 28th and begin to wane. The week opens with the Moon in Aries and ends with it in Cancer, waning all the while, heading toward the September 10th new moon. We are in the shedding phase.What makes this week distinctive — and why the message keeps being the same — is the sheer number of retrograde planets in Aries: Neptune, Manwë, Saturn, Pallas Athena, Eris, and Vesta, all moving backwards. When the Aries Moon moves through them, each conjunction or activation is saying: slow down. Go in. Revisit. Review. Do not charge forward. Aries likes action and speed; the retrogrades are applying the brakes.The overall prescription for this week: radical, extraordinary self-care. More than you normally would. The whole week is a churn of inner processing. Let it do its work.Three more things to note:Pluto is out of bounds until December 5th — as it will be for a few months around this time of year until 2035. Going out of bounds to the south, which Rosie Finn's book Persephone's Revolution associates with people rising up and more peaceful collective energy. We are in that window.Sedna stations retrograde this week (Thursday) — her 11,406-year orbit is so slow that her stations are gentler than most, but she's still asking: dig deeper into your perceptions and adaptations. She was last in Gemini at the end of the Great Ice Ages.Venus is entering the shadow of her retrograde — she hits 21°50' Libra at the start of the week, which is the point she'll return to when she stations direct on November 13th. Start paying attention now to what comes up around your values, your relationships, your sense of justice and beauty, your desires. Everything that surfaces in the next few weeks will have something to say when Venus goes retrograde in October.Only Venus, Mercury, and the Sun have passed the South Node and Regulus so far. Everyone else is still coming. Gradually, one by one.The Cards — A First GlanceFrom the Red Seeds Tarot and the Witch Oracle: Two of Bees, Eight of Seeds reversed, Ten of Bees, and The Witch.Tension. Disengagement. Then: revelation. And then the Witch herself — the one in total control of herself — to close. More at the end.Day by DaySunday, August 30 — Moon in Aries. Slow Your Horses. Venus Enters Her Shadow.The Moon is freshly in Aries — and immediately hits all those retrograde planets. A sextile to Sedna (about to station), a sextile to Pluto activating the basket at 4°, then the Moon conjuncts Neptune — stop and smell the coffee. Tune in to your intuition. There is nothing to rush into right now. The Moon then sextiles Uranus — the aha question of this whole period: who am I in this new world we're building? That's worth sitting with.The Moon squares Ceres in Cancer — do your self-care. Take care of yourself first, and then you are able to care for and protect your loved ones. And squares Pholus — the lid is still coming off things.The Moon is being slowed at every turn. Neptune is particularly potent here: the retrograde Aries cluster, every one of them applying the brakes to the Aries Moon's natural preference for speed. Slow your horses. We are not at full speed ahead yet.The Moon conjuncts Pallas Athena (revisiting strategy and pattern recognition), then conjuncts Eris (tables turning, but within — going in to see what you need to overturn in your own life), then squares Juno (renegotiating contracts), sextiles Hekate (the torchbearer is saying: the path forward is through your inner truths), and finally conjuncts Vesta (inner flame — what are you devoted to, really?). Before the day closes, the Moon conjuncts Saturn — a hard stop. Reality check. Put the brakes on.Venus at 21°50' Libra directly opposes Pallas Athena retrograde — the strategist, the pattern-recognizer, looking keenly back at Venus. Slow down. Think through your relationships, your values, your sense of justice. See the patterns before you charge on. Venus is covering ground she will cover again during the retrograde. Pay attention to what surfaces.Black Moon Lilith makes a fire trine to Eris and Vesta, and sextiles Hekate — that inner feminine rage at injustice, in flowing conversation with the table-turners and the inner flame, with the way-shower lighting the path. And Mercury in Virgo trines Pholus — more information coming to light. More things being seen.Monday, August 31 — Saturn Squares Asteroid Lilith. Black Moon Lilith Enters Capricorn. Earth Grand Trine.Saturn at 13° Aries squares Asteroid Lilith in Cancer. Thirteen — the number of the goddess, the witch. Saturn in Aries retrograde is revisiting the rules, the structures, the identities we've been building. Asteroid Lilith — the talk-to-the-hand, we-were-created-equal, original divine feminine — is in the Moon's sign, looking around and asking: how are all our needs being met? How are outsiders' needs being met? It's a hard look, again, before we do anything more. Saturn can bring the “shoulds” — and this week: don't. It will still be there later.Black Moon Lilith reaches the end of Sagittarius and enters Capricorn — the sign of our institutions, structures, and the man-made rules we live under. And the moment she crosses into Capricorn, she trines Regulus at 0° Virgo and Chiron at 0° Taurus — an Earth Grand Trine. The exiled feminine energy, in flowing conversation with the Royal Star that now speaks of future stewards, and with the medicine man shining his light on wounds and healing.The way forward is this world. This experience. Being on this Earth, which is our home.Jupiter at 13° Leo trines Saturn at 13° Aries. Thirteen — the goddess number, the witch number, also a number of creation (Fibonacci, phi). This is the opening trine of the cycle that began at the Great Conjunction in December 2020 — Jupiter and Saturn at 0° Aquarius, the beginning of the Age of Air. Now Jupiter has moved into Leo and this is the first flowering of that seed. We have to change these man-made rules that are not in alignment with the natural laws of the universe. That's what this aspect is saying. In the number of the goddess, no less.The Moon in Aries moves through Pallas Athena (revisiting strategy), opposes Venus (emotions stirred around what Venus is covering in her pre-retrograde territory — feel it, don't push it away), conjuncts Eris (more inner table-turning), squares Juno, sextiles Hekate, conjuncts Vesta.Tuesday, September 1 — Moon Into Taurus. Mars Squares Saturn. Mercury Meets Circe. The Brakes.The Moon finishes its Aries passage by aspecting the Nodes (still at 29° until October 9th — eclipse energy still reverberating) before moving into Taurus at 4:01am Eastern. Immediately, the Moon conjuncts Chiron — the shaman, the medicine man, hands-on healing. Earth. Body. Values. The wound and the medicine.Venus at 23° Libra makes a lovely unbroken flow aspect to Chariklo in Aquarius — the cosmic doula, Chiron's consort, the grace-spinner, holding space for the new story we're weaving. I am here with you. I am helping you weave it.Then the aspect that defines the day: Mars in Cancer squares Saturn in Aries. Mars in Cancer is already uncomfortable — fire in water, drive dampened by sensitivity. And Saturn in Aries is retrograde, in Mars's own sign. One foot on the accelerator, one foot on the brake. Except this week: it is far more brake than accelerator.If you feel the shoulds pressing in — I should be doing this, I should be doing that — this week is not the time. What needs to be done will still be there after you've rested and gone in. The brakes are on for a reason.Mercury in Virgo meets Circe the Sorceress — Circe is also conjunct the upcoming Virgo New Moon, which feels intentional. Mercury saying: get into the details, go in and do some inner sorcery and magic. The craftsmanship here is interior. Mercury then sextiles Asteroid Lilith — she's in there too, having a very good look at what she's going to say no to. Not performing the no yet. Looking clearly.The Taurus Moon Earth-trines the Virgo Sun and Pholus at around 9-10° — a pull to earth, to the somatic, to the body, to roots. Get your bare feet on the ground. Do grounding meditations. Go into the woods. That's why I chose the Red Riding Hood image for this week — the feminine going into the woods, into the inner world, is the heroine's journey. Read those old fairy tales from a different lens.Wednesday, September 2 — Moon in Taurus. Everything Is Within.The Taurus Moon squares Jupiter at 13° Leo — the natural laws of the universe, in the sign of the heart, at the goddess number again. The pattern of all of these 13° aspects this week is unmistakable.Everything is pointing inward. Everything is saying: come into balance and harmony within your nervous system. These eclipses have been nerve-jangling. If you feel your nervous system a bit fried, that's both appropriate and fixable. You have the tools. Use them.The Moon sextiles Mars (still cooling its jets, heading toward Asteroid Lilith), and the Sun trines Black Moon Lilith — with Okyrhoe the seer joining that aspect. This is about uncovering your inner seer. Going to the depth within that knows things before the mind catches up. The inner oracle.Thursday, September 3 — Sedna Stations Retrograde. Moon Into Gemini. Basket Activated.The Taurus Moon makes an Earth trine to Juno — our sacred contracts with each other, held in the flowing earth energy that's been the backbone of this week. This Earth trine has been holding the whole week: pulling inward, pulling down to ground, pulling roots deeper.Sedna stations retrograde in Gemini. Her 11,406-year orbit means she was last in Gemini at the end of the Great Ice Ages. Her stations are slower-burning than closer-in planets, but this is still a turning point: dig deeper into your perceptions, your ideas, your words, your thinking. How do you need to shift? How do you need to adapt?Black Moon Lilith squares Saturn — now in his own sign Capricorn, pressing against the rules and structures of our institutions. More things being seen. More reality checks arriving. This is not the moment to rail at every little thing. It's the moment to take it in, to see clearly, to know what you're looking at before you act.The Taurus Moon reaches 27-29° — the Pleiades degrees. This may feel like a tender, even sad day. The Pleiades carry the grief of endings and the beauty of the in-between. With Dolly and Tim Curry's passing this week, and with so much being released in the collective, let yourself feel what's there. The Moon then squares Hekate, squares the Nodes, and begins moving toward the drain of the South Node.At 7:47am Eastern, the Moon enters Gemini and immediately meets Sedna — who just stationed retrograde, all that adapt-or-transform energy newly concentrated. The Moon then trines Pluto, sextiles Neptune, conjuncts Uranus — the basket, again. The cradle activated. The aha moment: something about letting go. Something about death and rebirth. Something about what's trying to move through.Mars is opposed by Black Moon Lilith at 2:44pm Eastern — a question not about action but about wisdom. Is the action we're taking coming from a wise place? Or are we just acting? Black Moon Lilith is a lunar point, not a physical body — she's the inner voice, the interior knowing. Are we using her wisdom to shape what we do?Friday, September 4 — Last Quarter Moon. Venus Opposes Eris. Inner Tables Turning.The Gemini Moon (out of bounds since late Wednesday or Thursday) squares the Sun — Last Quarter Moon at approximately 11:48am Eastern. Eleven: the master number, the gateway. What are we letting go of before we step through this doorway? Not one big doorway — a series of doorways. That's what this whole period is. Each week, another door. What are we releasing at this one?The Last Quarter Moon is always a crisis in consciousness — the moment of maximum tension before the letting go. In this context, coming off eclipse season, it's the inner churn before the new moon plant.Venus at 25° Libra opposes Eris — more inner tables to turn. Not out there, not yet. Going within, looking at strategy and patterns, recognizing what needs to be overturned within your own relating and your own values before you bring a new version of yourself to the world.The Moon sextiles Saturn (opportunity to let go of self-limiting beliefs, old rules we were taught to live by) and sextiles Jupiter (the curious Gemini Moon trying to make sense of it all through the lens of the natural laws).Mars meets Asteroid Lilith at 15° Cancer — the midpoint of the degree, the middle of Cancer. Mars will move ahead of her after this. But she is right there with him, saying: you are more of a protector and a guardian than you have been portrayed. Right now, at this moment — using the language of internal family systems — you are my inner protector. You are here to help me move within, do more self-care, love myself more. You are the guardian of my interior, not just the warrior taking on the external world.If your inner Mars is feeling frustrated and angry (Mars doesn't love Cancer), you can actually talk to that part of yourself: I know you're here to help me. Right now your job is to protect my inner work, not to attack everything out there.The Moon squares Mercury — information, details, adjustments, what you think. All of it inside.Venus squares Juno — we are rewriting the contracts. With each other, and with ourselves.Saturday, September 5 — Moon Into Cancer. Venus and Hekate. One Last Look at the Toxins.The Gemini Moon finishes its journey — way out of bounds — making last aspects to the retrograde planets in Aries: Pallas Athena, Eris, Vesta. Fire and air. What do I need to burn off? What ideas need to be released? What does the inner flame actually want? Intense, but passing.At 10:30am Eastern, the Moon enters Cancer — her own sign — and sextiles Chiron. The wound and the medicine. The shaman. What's the medicine I've become because of what I've been through?Venus makes a lovely unbroken flow aspect to Hekate — the way-shower, the torchbearer, the triple moon goddess at the crossroads. Venus and Hekate work together beautifully during Venus retrogrades (you'll experience this directly in the class), and this pre-retrograde aspect is a preview: pay attention to your inner voice about which paths to choose. Which direction through the woods of your inner self is being illuminated?The Cancer Moon trines Haumea — pure regeneration, the Hawaiian creatrix, the handle of the basket. She hasn't been aspected much this week, and here at the close she shows up to say: something new is being birthed from all of this. Something is regenerating. And the Moon squares Neptune — Haumea moving forward, Neptune moving back, an aspect of adjustment between the two Mars signs (Aries and Scorpio). We are moving into a more Venusian era. We cannot stay where we were.The last aspect of the week: one more look at the toxins, at what needs to be released, at what we've been carrying that belongs to the past. What more can I let go of to be a better ancestor? (If you want to go deeper on Nessus, there's a beautiful blog post from the Amalthea website — search “Amalthea Nessus” — and the author contributed to Sideways from Saturn, the book on the centaurs that I wrote the foreword for.)The Cards in DetailTwo of Bees (Swords) — I Am Tension:Proverbs: “Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.”This week suggests difficult choices and decisions. Your ideas and opinions may be questioned — by others and, perhaps more intensely, by yourself. You may feel mentally paralyzed as you try to navigate stress, uncertainty, and inner conflict.How do we move forward? Balance the tension of the opposites. Hold the tension of not knowing the outcome for a while. Clarity and a balanced view will make itself known. Positive choices and insightful decisions will arise from the centre of your being, once you've taken time to contemplate and listen to yourself before you act.And remember that quote when you speak to yourself this week: gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Including when you are talking inside your own head.Eight of Seeds (Pentacles), reversed — I Am Disengaged:Upright, the Eight of Seeds is productive, diligent, sowing and harvesting. Reversed this week: I feel disengaged. I feel like I've never done enough, like I'm not good enough. The inner perfectionist shows up.This is an Earth card, and its very reversal is the prescription: self-development and inner work. Not productive outer work. The shadow of Virgo — the perfectionism, the not-enoughness — can come through here. Let it be acknowledged and then gently set aside. You don't have to perform productivity right now.Ten of Bees (Swords) — I Am Revelation:Khalil Gibran: “For the bee, the flower is the fountain of life. For the flower, the bee is the messenger of love.”This is the card I was genuinely glad to see at the end of this challenging set. Here it is:We have tripped up and plummeted along the way, and now know what rock bottom feels like. It has challenged us. Self-pity, at times, has heightened our suffering.However, in reality, the rocks actually grounded us, and a relief and an understanding is starting to rise up within us. It is clear that we have been stung into waking up to some hard truths. Our ego may have been battered, and we may feel sore, vulnerable, as we reflect on what appear to be failures and endings that lie behind us.The good news is: the worst is over, for this week. The weight we have carried is finally lifting. We have survived, and our stings will heal. Our wings gently unfurl, and we start to ascend, breathing in the clear air, and dancing into a new beginning.By the end of the week, you will start to feel the call of the new moon. Not quite there yet. But coming.The Witch (Witch Oracle) — I Am Coordinating, Not Dominating:“Control. No woman alive today needs a dictionary to know what control means within a toxic patriarchy. She's experienced it a thousand different ways. It is domination and restraint.But in a balanced psyche and in a balanced culture, control can mean something else entirely.A witch experiences control through cooperation rather than competition. She is engaged with all the parts of her psyche in an attempt to coordinate rather than dominate.You are being asked right now to embrace all the inhabitants of your inner realm, because each deserves respect and a place at the table. Even the unruly, the inconvenient, the ugly. Making space for all under the banner of wild inclusion — giving voice to the shame, malice, and anger, as well as every other outlawed part of the psyche — is the way we create integrity.When your intent is to create rather than compete, you don't have to dominate. Your influence is enough. This is power with, rather than power over.Invite whatever is bothering you today into the realm of inclusion. Assert your inner authority.”Coordinate, don't dominate. Including inside yourself. This is the whole week. This is the whole work.Summing UpPost-eclipse. Waning. Brakes firmly on. The Aries retrogrades slowing everything down, saying not yet, not yet. The Earth Grand Trine pulling us down to roots and soil and body. The 13s showing up everywhere — the goddess number, the witch number — at Saturn and Jupiter and the Moon's aspects. Venus entering her pre-retrograde territory and asking us to start paying attention. Sedna stationing to dig deeper into how we adapt. The Last Quarter Moon at the gateway number, releasing before the new moon.The rocks grounded us. The wings are beginning to unfurl.Go into the woods. Slow your roll. Do the radical self-care. Talk to your inner Mars. Embrace all the inhabitants of your inner realm. And coordinate, don't dominate — inside and out.The new moon is coming on September 10th.

Thirteen days from kickoff and Florida still doesn't have a quarterback. Dan, Nick, Jordan and Corry break down everything out of Saturday's second fall scrimmage, run through a loaded week in Gators sports — and then sit down with one of the greatest defensive linemen to ever wear orange and blue.
Welcome to The Other Side of Midnight with Walter Sterling, the ultimate late-night sanctuary for the Midnight Misfits. In this episode, we dive deep into the highly anticipated Lindsay Clancy verdict, analyzing the psychiatric overmedication defense, the "three ghosts" of legal precedent, and why TikTok sleuths have turned their sights on her husband's Apple Watch. But because it's Walter, we quickly pivot to the life-and-death rules of ordering too much mayonnaise at a Jewish deli, the sheer horror of motion-sensor lights at Aldi, and why you should never let a supermarket force you into self-bagging.Round out the hour with jaw-dropping stories from the road—including a trucker racing a parallel tornado while hauling horses on I-95 and a retired NYPD detective sifting through cremated ashes to solve a cold-case murder—along with Walter's bewildered musings on the sudden avalanche of erectile dysfunction commercials. It's chaotic, hilarious, and the best kind of late-night radio bullfight
UNHUSTLED starts next week. August 25, 26, and 27 at 11:00 am Central. I'm breaking down my entire mechanism, showing you all five patterns, and giving you the diagnostic so you can see exactly which one is running you and what to do about it. This is free right now. It becomes a paid masterclass going forward. Register here: https://go.shaminataylor.com/unhustled If your success has created more money but less freedom, is it actually working? I could have called this episode "why your work ethic is costing you your wealth," because that's what this really is. This one is for the hustler. The doer. The woman crushing her goals, checking off the list, winning constantly, and multitasking while she listens to this right now. I used to be her. Getting it all done was what ambition looked like to me. So let me be clear before we go further: I am never going to tell you to be less ambitious. We're not retiring your ambition. We're retiring the survival state you think you need in order to have the success. Because survival is not a business strategy. You didn't build your business to become an employee of it. If the only way it makes money is if you personally do the work, that's not a business, that's a job that owns you. And here's the part nobody says out loud: when you're already maxed out, you start subconsciously pushing money away. You can't imagine taking on more clients, because who would serve them? So you chase another strategy, another lead gen play, another sales tweak, and none of it moves, because the cap isn't in the strategy. It's in you. Four signs you're running on hustle: Your revenue grows, but your responsibility grows faster You hired a team, but everything still lands back on you Taking time off creates anxiety instead of freedom You've made more money, but slowing down still doesn't feel safe Then I break down The Power Pattern™, my trademarked process. Your pattern is the lens you see the world through, and it shapes every decision you make. The Controller takes the work back instead of delegating. The Prover works harder to earn the next level. The Pusher adds another offer, another hour, and never stops. The Pleaser overdelivers and undercharges. And the Protector delays the very move that would make her more visible, more known, more powerful. I also go deeper on my client Heather. Thirteen years running her cleaning company, a Cornell graduate, and still cleaning houses herself six years ago. Her months since she started the work: $146,000. Then $167,000. Then $191,000. July closed at $213,000. She restructured her leadership, released team members she'd been carrying, and took eleven days off without worrying about her business, something she says she has never done in her life. UNHUSTLED isn't becoming passive. It isn't lowering your standards, losing your ambition, ignoring strategy, or sitting in a bubble bath waiting for money. It's refusing to use pressure, control, proving, over-functioning, and nervous system overload as your growth strategy.
Thirteen-year-old Madeline Soto vanished the morning after her birthday, and the man she called her “bonus dad” claimed he had dropped her off near school. But as detectives retraced her final hours, surveillance footage, a missing phone history, and a story that kept changing began pointing somewhere far closer to home.

Thirteen years in business. Nearly 700 wholesale accounts. And the biggest shift Rachel O'Neill of Loftipop made this year was admitting her wholesale business was being run like a D2C channel.If you started in direct-to-consumer and layered wholesale on top, this episode will feel familiar. Rachel came into Paper Camp with a thriving business at Loftipop and left with major enhancements: separate pricing logic, a leaner product line, and a strategy built around the retailers she already has.In this episode, you'll learn:Why wholesale is not an extension of your D2C business — it's a separate model with its own pricing, margins, and rulesHow Loftipop added 60 accounts in the 6 months after Paper Camp, growing from 690 to about 750Why Rachel discontinued SKUs that were still selling — and why she felt "so much lighter" afterwardHow to run channel-by-channel margin math before keeping a product in your wholesale catalogWhat it looks like to nurture current retailers — email outreach, direct mail, and consistent touchpoints — instead of only chasing new accountsHow staying open to change, 13 years in, became the shift that moved her whole business forwardFrom the episode:"The biggest takeaway is that your wholesale business is not D2C. We came into wholesale thinking it was just an extension of our D2C... it's actually a whole separate business model and strategy." — Rachel O'Neill"If you're serious about wholesale, it's 100% worth the investment.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Men on X are posting that Lindsay Clancy should be tortured. Women on Threads have built a theory that Patrick Clancy is a covert narcissist who convinced Lindsay she was mentally ill. Both the prosecution and the defense say Lindsay killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan. Neither online camp has engaged with that.The men skip past the illness entirely. Thirteen medications, a Seroquel spiral, providers who allegedly never coordinated care — none of it registers. The women skip past the act. Command hallucinations, a defense concession, Patrick's own testimony describing a wife who got sick — none of it fits the narrative they've built.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to explain why each side lands where it does. She identifies a pattern among the women defending Lindsay — a significant number identify as survivors of narcissistic relationships, and they've mapped their own experience onto Patrick and Lindsay. Fighting for Lindsay feels like the fight they never had. Shavaun explains what happens when your own wound becomes the lens you see every story through, and whether you can tell the difference between projection and perception once the pattern locks in.She also covers why the men's punishment impulse bypasses evidence by design — because engaging with the complexity would collapse the certainty that makes the rage feel good.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Nightbird, discuss why men and women are experiencing two completely different Lindsay Clancy trials.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Thirteen-year-old singer-songwriter Pixie Minerva may not have taken home first place in her first competition, but the experience opened a far more valuable door. It gave her the opportunity to meet people who believed in her talent, helped her record her first song, and ultimately led to a series of new opportunities in her musical journey. - Hindi man naiuwi ng 13-anyos na singer-songwriter Pixie Minerva ang first place sa isang singing competition, ang karanasang iyon ang nagbukas ng mas mahalagang pinto—ang makilala ang mga taong naniwala sa kanyang talento, nagbigay sa kanya ng pagkakataong ma-record ang kanyang unang kanta, at nagbukas ng sunod-sunod pang oportunidad sa kanyang music journey.

Lindsay Clancy messaged her providers almost every day, begging them to change what wasn't working. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to break down a defense case built less on a single moment and more on months of documented desperation. Thirteen psychiatric medications. Daily messages asking for adjustments. Journal entries describing intrusive thoughts and brain fog in the weeks before her children died. Not one provider diagnosed postpartum psychosis before that day — every doctor and nurse practitioner who saw her documented anxiety and depression instead. The psychosis diagnosis came later, from a forensic psychiatrist retained by the defense, a timing detail Faddis says both sides know matters more than almost anything else in the record. Faddis explains why Kevin Reddington has spent three weeks dismantling the providers who treated Lindsay, including her psychiatrist, who admitted under cross-examination that she never once met Lindsay in person across fourteen telehealth sessions, didn't have her complete medical record, and didn't know Lindsay had called a suicide hotline twice. On the other side, prosecutors are leaning on what Lindsay did that morning — sending her husband out for takeout, timing his errand, and a specific search on her phone beforehand. Faddis walks through why the state considers that detail central, and why the defense conceded from day one that Lindsay killed her children, choosing instead to fight over whether she was herself when it happened. What Massachusetts law requires the state to prove beyond a reasonable doubt is where this case now turns, and Faddis makes the case for why the providers on both witness lists may end up mattering as much as anything said in closing arguments.

Thirteen medications. Daily messages to her nurse practitioner begging for changes. Journal entries describing intrusive thoughts she'd never had before and a desperate desire to get well. Not one clinician diagnosed Lindsay Clancy with postpartum psychosis before January 24, 2023.Every provider who treated her documented anxiety and depression. The psychosis diagnosis came afterward, from a forensic psychiatrist working with the defense. Lindsay's attorney Kevin Reddington told the jury she heard voices that day — "This is your last chance" — and that the medical system failed to identify what was happening to her.Reddington has spent three weeks in Plymouth Superior Court building that argument through cross-examination. He dismantled Lindsay's psychiatrist over fourteen telehealth-only sessions. He exposed gaps in her medical records. He read her journal entries aloud to the jury. The defense conceded on day one that Lindsay killed her children. The entire case turns on whether the jury believes she was someone else when it happened.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down the defense's approach — what's working, where the diagnosis gap creates risk, and whether Reddington's strategy of putting the providers on trial can overcome the historical reluctance of juries to accept insanity defenses in cases involving children.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Thirteen psychiatric drugs. Seven prescribers. Four months. Three dead children. Everyone knows what Lindsay Clancy did. Almost nobody knows what was done to her first. Her husband told them the drugs were making her worse. A hospital team wrote it in her chart. She said it herself, over and over, in her own words, in writing. There is a note in that record explaining why nobody listened. One phrase. It is the reason this keeps happening, and once you hear it you will not be able to unhear it. Dr. Roger McFillin lays out the timeline and the question nobody is asking in that court room.
Original Air Date: August 16, 2025 Re-Air Date: August 15, 2026 Episode Number: 471Episode SummaryFour topics this week. Dan opens with a segment on AI, the trades, and why professional painters are on the safe list of jobs that technology won't replace. Then a deck safety segment covering what actually causes collapses and a quick inspection checklist you can run through today. After that, a breakdown of efflorescence -- the white powdery stuff on basement walls that looks like mold but isn't -- including what causes it, why painting over it doesn't work, and how to actually fix it. The episode closes out a multi-week series on room exposures with a full guide to choosing paint colors for west-facing rooms, including eight to nine specific Benjamin Moore recommendations.Timestamps[00:00] -- Welcome and Preview[00:50] -- AI and the Trades[03:07] -- Why Painting Matters[07:11] -- Deck Safety Basics[10:03] -- Deck Failure Causes[14:08] -- Quick Deck Inspection[18:41] -- Basement White Powder[19:33] -- Efflorescence Explained[21:19] -- Fix Moisture and Repaint[24:47] -- West-Facing Color Guide[34:05] -- Best Colors and Samples[38:06] -- Wrap UpAI and the Trades [00:50]Dan opens with a Microsoft study ranking the top 40 jobs most at risk from AI and the top 40 considered safest. The at-risk list included customer service reps, writers, paralegals, web developers, and some programming roles. The safe list: caregivers, cleaners, roofers, pipe fitters, plumbers, plasterers -- and right in the middle of the mix, professional painters.The common thread across all the safe jobs is that they require hands-on work, real skill, human judgment, and a physical presence on site. No matter how capable the technology gets, it can't paint a house.Dan talks about his son Andrew, now in his second summer on a painting crew. He came in with no experience. Within a few weeks he was confidently working off extension ladders. By the end of that first summer he could handle almost anything thrown at him. What struck Dan wasn't just the skill -- it was something Andrew said about how satisfying it is to finish a job and stand back and see the actual before and after. A faded house that looks good again. That's different from the kind of satisfaction Dan gets at work, where some days it feels like moving digital ideas from one folder to another.The broader point: trades are going to keep requiring real people. Dan thinks the human touch is only going to become more valuable as more of the world goes digital. AI might help a plumber or electrician diagnose a complex issue, but somebody still has to show up and do the work.What Causes Deck Collapses [10:03]Deck collapses are genuinely rare -- the US Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates around 6,000 injuries per year tied to deck, porch, stair, and balcony failures. But because decks are elevated, when something does give way, injuries are almost guaranteed.One of the most well-known incidents was a 2003 Chicago collapse where a third-story wooden deck gave way under a group of people. The weight brought two lower decks down with it. Thirteen people died and 57 were injured.The most common failure point is the ledger board -- the board that connects the deck directly to the house. If flashing wasn't installed correctly or has failed over time, water gets behind the ledger and starts rotting the rim joist it's fastened to. Once the rim joist softens, the bolts anchoring the ledger can pull free. The ledger can look completely solid from the outside while the wood it's bolted into is already compromised.In older decks -- especially those built before building codes were updated in the early 2000s following the Chicago collapse -- the ledger board may have been fastened with plain nails rather than bolts or lag screws. Over time those nails can loosen or rust, leaving a deck looking solid while hiding a serious structural weakness.Other common failure points:Railings that aren't fastened into proper framing -- these tend to fail when someone leans their full weight against themPosts that are buried directly in soil rather than resting on concrete footings, where they can rot from below without showing any visible signMetal connectors -- joist hangers, bolts, screws -- that are rusted, missing, or weren't installed correctlyA deck that looks perfectly fine on the surface can be hiding significant problems underneath all of these.Quick Deck Inspection Checklist [14:08]This takes 10 to 15 minutes and is worth doing today if you haven't done it recently. Ideally it's an annual spring task, but any time works.Walk the deck surface. Pay attention to how it feels underfoot. Do boards bounce or feel springy? Are any warped, uneven, or soft?Test the railing. Give it a firm push -- don't lean your full weight on it as the test, but put enough pressure to check whether it's solid. Wobbling or creaking means it needs attention.Check the ledger board. If you can get safely underneath the deck, look where it connects to the house. Is the flashing intact? Are there signs of rot, water damage, or staining on the house wall or the ledger itself? And look at how it's attached -- if you see only nails and no bolts or lag screws, that connection should be reinforced.Probe suspicious wood. A screwdriver or small awl pressed into any wood that looks questionable -- joists, posts, the ledger -- will tell you a lot. If the tip sinks in a quarter inch or more with light pressure, that indicates rot and warrants further investigation.Check the posts. Make sure they're sitting on concrete footings, not buried directly in soil. Look for cracking, shifting, or movement at the base.Inspect the hardware. Look for rusted or missing screws, nails, or joist hangers. Anything corroded should be tightened or replaced with corrosion-resistant hardware.If the deck is over 15 to 20 years old, or was built before the 2003 code updates, or if anything in the inspection looks questionable, bring in a licensed contractor for a closer look. And if the deck just needs a refresh -- cleaning and a coat of wood protector -- stop into any RepcoLite and they'll walk you through the right products.Efflorescence: The White Powder on Your Basement Walls [19:33]If you've noticed white chalky streaks or fuzzy white buildup on your basement's concrete block or poured concrete walls, it probably startled you a bit. It looks like something is growing. It's not mold. It's efflorescence, and it's actually pretty common.What it is. Efflorescence is salt deposits forming on masonry surfaces. Water moves through the wall, picks up mineral salts from the concrete or block as it travels, and when it reaches the surface and evaporates, it leaves those salts behind. Sometimes it's a light dusting. Other times it's streaks or crusty fuzzy buildup that looks pretty alarming.What causes it. Moisture. If you have efflorescence, there is a moisture issue somewhere. It could be coming from outside -- poor drainage, clogged gutters, improper grading around the foundation. It could be coming from inside -- vapor movement through the space. Wherever it's coming from, the moisture has to be addressed or the efflorescence will keep coming back.Dan's own situation: his house had no gutters, so rainwater poured straight off the roof at the foundation. Once he installed gutters, the moisture problem went away and the efflorescence stopped.How to clean it. A stiff brush and plain water handles mild cases. For stubborn buildup, a diluted solution of white vinegar or a masonry cleaner specifically formulated for efflorescence will get it off. Follow the label directions and wear protective gear -- some of these cleaners are acidic.The critical mistake to avoid. Cleaning is only treating the symptom. If you paint over active efflorescence without fixing the moisture source, the moisture and salt will continue working toward the surface and will bring the paint with them. Blistering, peeling, paint failure. Dan learned this firsthand -- he painted over it the first time thinking it might solve things. It did not. He had to deal with peeling paint on top of the original problem.The right sequence. Fix the moisture source first. Then clean the efflorescence completely. Then let everything dry thoroughly. Then repaint.For bare, never-painted concrete or block walls: WaterBlock from Insl-X is worth knowing about. It's a water-blocking product that, when applied to unpainted masonry under the right conditions, can prevent a certain level of moisture from working through the wall. Stop into RepcoLite and ask about it -- there are specific application conditions that have to be met for it to work correctly.Choosing Paint Colors for West-Facing Rooms [24:47]This is the final installment of a series on how room orientation affects paint color. Previous episodes covered north-facing, south-facing, and east-facing rooms.The challenge with west-facing rooms. They're cool, shaded, and a little flat in the morning -- the sun is rising on the opposite side of the house. By mid-afternoon and into early evening, dramatic warm golden light pours in, carrying strong amber and orange undertones. That subtle beige you loved at noon might look...
Jeffrey Mosher welcomes back Dwayne Powell Jr., Chief Operating Officer and Managing Partner of Kalamazoo Forward Ventures & Marcel Fable Price, Director of Platform and Programming at Kalamazoo Forward Ventures. Welcome back Dwayne and Marcel. Please remind the Michigan business community about Kalamazoo Forward Ventures and the Tsunami Lab? Many small business owners are nearing retirement. Why is buying an existing business becoming an attractive alternative to starting one from scratch? Tsunami Lab focuses on helping entrepreneurs acquire established businesses rather than launch new ones. How does that approach help protect jobs, preserve local businesses, and strengthen the regional economy? Access to capital is often one of the biggest barriers to business ownership. How is your program helping more entrepreneurs, including women, veterans, and underrepresented founders, overcome that challenge? The first cohort included professionals from a wide range of backgrounds, from engineering and military leadership to nonprofit management. What qualities make someone a strong candidate to successfully take over an existing business? Looking ahead, what are your goals for the next Tsunami Lab cohort, and what would you say to Michigan business owners who may be thinking about selling their companies or entrepreneurs interested in becoming the next generation of owners? » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: X.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/ Thursday, July 30th, Kalamazoo Forward Ventures graduated the first cohort of Tsunami Lab, an accelerator built to change that math. Thirteen local operators, including a sitting city commissioner, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, a Detroit-native nonprofit exec, and a Kalamazoo Promise grad-turned-tech-sales-pro, completed 14 weeks of training in the mechanics of buying an existing business, from financial due diligence to regional bank financing. The goal: instead of starting from scratch, these graduates are now equipped to step into ownership of established local companies, protect the jobs already there, and keep the wealth those businesses generate in Kalamazoo. The evening drew State Rep. Julie Rogers, who presented tribute plaques to each graduate, members of Kalamazoo Valley Community College, along with regional banking executives, local investors and county commissioners. Michael Davenport, President & CEO of Jireh Metal Products, delivered the keynote. A few graduate names worth noting: Alonzo Wilson II, a Kalamazoo city commissioner, is targeting a legacy business to scale using his industrial engineering background Dave “Brew” Brewer, a retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel, is bringing 29 years of large-organization leadership to a Michigan legacy business Stacey R. Ledbetter, Executive Director of the Douglass Community Association, wants to prove small business success can directly fund nonprofit resilience Shantonio Birch, named 2026 Black Engineer of the Year, is eyeing an HVAC company to modernize for the clean-tech future
Every year, thousands of people stand on stages and tell others how to overcome adversity.Jake Thompson is one of them.As a keynote speaker, author, and the voice behind Compete Every Day, Jake has spent years teaching people to embrace discomfort, honor their commitments, and become the kind of person who keeps showing up when things get hard.But there's a big difference between teaching those principles... and living them.Just seven and a half weeks after knee surgery, with business thriving and life going well, Jake chose to do something that made absolutely no sense to most people. He left to participate in 29029 Snowbasin.Thirteen climbs. Almost 30 miles all uphill. Twenty-nine thousand and twenty-nine feet of vertical gain—the height of Mount Everest.And somewhere on those climbs, the speaker became the student.Every ascent came with a perfectly reasonable excuse to quit. Every lap forced him to confront the same lessons he has spent years teaching audiences around the world. Discipline over motivation. Commitment over comfort. Action over excuses.After the event, Jake wrote something in a LinkedIn post that sums up his journey. "My worth was never going to be decided by a red hat or a missed cutoff. Only by what I left in the arena."What happens when life hands you a microphone... and then hands you a mountain?When your message is no longer something you speak, but something you have to prove.
Think about the last thing you almost bought and did not. You picked it up, you looked at it, you put it back down. You had a reason for choosing one item over its competitors, and you know exactly what it was. Did anybody ever ask you why you didn't choose the loser? Of course not. And somebody did the same thing to you this week. Something you made, or wrote, or suggested. An idea you put into a meeting that got a polite nod and then went nowhere. They considered it, decided against it, and you never found out the real reason. Almost everything that comes back to you comes from the people who said yes. Inside a business, the machinery makes that official. Satisfaction surveys go to people who have bought. Reviews come from people who have bought. The customer list is a list of people who have bought. The one who put it back down is invisible to all of it, and that person is holding the answer. So, where do you point a question to reach somebody who is not there? Last week, we took a question apart and rebuilt it. But a well-made question aimed at the wrong thing comes back empty. Where you point a question is the other half of the skill. Forty-two cards of Killer Questions A killer question is one that has been tested and proven to spark ideas beyond the obvious. The name comes from the old phrase "killer app," where "killer" meant standout, not lethal. I built this collection of questions the slow way. I designed structured tests into my innovation workshops, which I was running: specific questions put to specific groups, and a record of what each produced. The rule for keeping a question was that it had to trigger something in that room. Did somebody walk out seeing their customer, their product, or the way they work differently than when they walked in? If nothing moved, the question was cut. If there was a good idea underneath one and I had simply worded it badly, I rewrote it and ran it again in another workshop. There were hundreds of questions, and most did not survive. Forty-two did. When I sorted the survivors, they fell into three groups. Not by subject. By where they aim your thinking. Three places to aim Every question in the deck points to one of three things. Who, what, and how. WHO is the person or organization who will benefit from what you make. Usually, your customer, though the gap between "usually" and "always" is where a lot of new business hides. WHAT is the product, the service, the solution that creates the value for the WHO. HOW is the way your organization builds, delivers, and supports the WHAT for the WHO. Three places an idea can come from, and the questions exist to send you into each one on purpose rather than by accident. The cards all say "product." Read that as whatever you make for somebody else. A service counts. So does a proposal you hand to your boss. Thirteen of my cards aim at WHO. Thirteen at WHAT. Sixteen at HOW. That split was never a plan. It is where the questions that kept surviving pointed, and eventually, I stopped arguing with it. WHO What are your unshakable beliefs about what your customers want? The phone companies believed their customers wanted reliability above all else, and they were right. For a century, they built toward 99.999 percent uptime. A dial tone that worked in a storm, in a power failure, always. Then somebody turned that belief over and looked at it with no assumptions about what the customer wanted. Where were there people who would give up call quality for something else? That is the question that led to voice over IP, a phone call carried over the internet. In the early days, it sounded terrible. Calls dropped. By the standard the old industry had spent a century perfecting, VoIP was not a serious product. But underneath it sat an idea nobody in that industry had allowed themselves to consider: that many people would trade call quality for price and mobility, and would do so happily. They did. That market opportunity existed before anyone built it, waiting for someone willing to challenge the old standard on its head. WHAT What is surprisingly inconvenient about my product? It does not ask whether the product is good. Your team will defend that all day, and they will be partly right, which will only make the conversation worse. Surprisingly inconvenient means some part of using your product that nobody inside your company has ever seen a real person struggle with. The fifteen minutes with the instructions. The step everyone on your team skips automatically because they built the thing. On the back of that card sits the shortest useful question I own: "Do you use your own product yourself?" Hold on to this one. In a few minutes, it turns up at a Best Buy, and the strange part is that I wasn't aiming at it when I found it. HOW What do people not like about the buying experience for my product? For the whole time I was CTO at HP, I spent nearly every Saturday in a Best Buy. While traveling, I found a local electronics store in whatever country I was in. I was not shopping. I was standing in the aisle watching strangers choose, because this question has no other answer. You cannot survey somebody who did not buy. My family called it my "digital stalking". My kids would have done almost anything else rather than be seen with me in a Best Buy on a Saturday. When somebody picked up a competitor's product and headed for the checkout, I would walk over, introduce myself, and ask what made them choose that one. I did it long enough that the sales staff around Silicon Valley knew me, and would change how they talked to a customer if they saw me standing there. Stay somewhere long enough, and you stop being an observer. You influence what you are measuring. Then came the Saturday that changed a product. A customer set down an HP laptop and bought a competitor's. I asked him why. He told me he could not see the keys. This was during the stretch when every laptop was going aluminum, and somebody in our laptop group had given ours a chrome-looking keyboard. High gloss. On a store shelf, it looked expensive, which is exactly what it was designed to do. It also meant that anyone whose eyesight had started to go could not read the letters on it. Sales on that product had been running under plan, and nothing in the data said why. We changed the keyboard back to matte black with high contrast white lettering. Sales went up on that one change. No survey would have revealed the issue. By the time he told me, he was already somebody else's customer. Notice what that question actually turned up. I went into the store carrying a HOW question about the buying experience. What came back was a WHAT answer, something surprisingly. Inconvenient about the product itself. You choose where to aim. You do not choose where the answer comes from. Testing for Great Questions How do you find and test great questions? Ask the question, then watch what happens in the next four seconds. If the room goes quiet, and then somebody says, "Hang on," you are holding a good one. That pause is the sound of a person arriving somewhere they have not been. You just unleashed a great question. If someone answers immediately and confidently, the question isn't that great. A fast answer means you aimed where the team has already been, and they are reciting. I threw away hundreds that way and got down to the questions that caused impact. Practice Exercise Take a decision you are facing this month and give it ninety minutes. Start with whichever of the three you are least comfortable with, which for most people is HOW. Take a question from it at random. Do not hunt for the one you like, because the one you like is the one you have already answered. Set a timer for thirty minutes and write down every idea that question produces. No judging, no editing, just quantity. Then do the same thing with a question aimed at your customer, and again with one aimed at the product. When you have worked through all three, read back over everything and pick the best three ideas to start on. That is how you run it on your own. If you would rather do it with a team, there is a second version designed for groups of 4 to 6 people. Both are written out step by step on killerquestions.com, so you are not working from memory. You can buy the deck at innovation.tools, either as printed cards or as a digital download for your phone, tablet, or PC. Send me the question that worked best for you. I am also still on the search for new questions for volume 2 of the card deck. Send your suggestions, and they might just be included. That closes out this three-part series on questions. If you came in at the end, part one is about why you cannot stop yourself from answering a question, and part two is about how a single word inside a question steers the answer you get back. The next episode is about abductive thinking. Deduction hands you a conclusion you can prove. Induction hands you a pattern you can bet on. Abduction is what you reach for when you have neither and still have to decide, which is most of the time. It is how a doctor arrives at a diagnosis, and it is how most real innovation actually happens. Subscribe wherever you watch or listen, and you will get that one when it lands.
In this episode, we explore the powerful shift that happens when you move beyond simply surviving separation and begin asking, "What do I want to create now?" While divorce or separation may always be part of your story, it doesn't have to define the rest of your life. We talk about how to start building a future that's richer, more meaningful, and centred on who you're becoming (not what you've been through). If you're ready to move from getting through each day to creating a life you love, this episode will encourage you to take that next step with hope and purpose.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Something happened in the Lindsay Clancy trial that legal analysts didn't expect from a prosecution witness — an admission that may have done more for the defense than for the state. I break it down along with everything else that unfolded across the Commonwealth's case.Thirteen psychiatric medications, all within therapeutic range — that's the prosecution's headline fact, the one they want the jury fixated on. It's supposed to mean she was lucid. It doesn't mean what they think it means, and their own expert said so under cross-examination.Day 8 alone produced eleven witnesses, all called by the state. A medical examiner detailed how 8-month-old Callan died. Lindsay Clancy broke down hard enough at the defense table that the judge halted the hearing until she composed herself. The family's pediatrician recounted a completely unremarkable checkup with 5-year-old Cora hours before the deaths. Coworkers and friends testified to insomnia, brain fog, a rotating list of medications, and time spent at McLean Hospital. Patrick Clancy's own father took the stand and called her a great mother.Then the case detective was asked about a search warrant on her Facebook account, hunting for any sign of abuse in the home. He confirmed it turned up nothing.Her journal entries were read into the record — lines about drowning, about barely holding on. The prosecution reads those words as premeditation. The defense reads them as a woman's mind unraveling in real time, on paper, before anyone stepped in. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington has conceded what happened. What he's fighting is whether Massachusetts can prove she was sane beyond a reasonable doubt. I walk through where that fight stands now.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What you trust will always shape how you live. In this message from the Book of James, we're challenged to look beyond what we say we believe and examine what our lives are actually revealing. Because faith isn't proven by what we claim, it's revealed by what we hold onto, what we're willing to release, and ultimately, who truly has our heart.

He said it four times, under oath, in open court: he killed each of them deliberately. A judge asked Bryan Kohberger point blank whether he was pleading guilty because he was guilty. Yes. Whether anyone forced him. No. That's the record from the day he gave up his right to a trial in the University of Idaho student murders. Thirteen months later, he wants that trial back. His handwritten petition claims his lawyers failed him, that proof of his innocence was buried before he signed anything, and that he was scared into the deal with lies about what life in prison and death row in Idaho actually involve. The centerpiece of his innocence claim — "clumps of hair" in a victim's hand — isn't in any court filing or lab report. It's from a book. The real DNA testing, done by his own defense expert, found that hair consistent with the victim's own. Buried further into the petition is a claim about who Kohberger says was present during his meetings with his own defense attorneys — a detail that could end up cutting against him harder than anything the prosecution has argued. Tony Brueski lays out what prosecutors had ready to use against him — an amended list of a hundred and eighty potential witnesses — and why the legal road Kohberger is now attempting almost never leads where he wants it to, no matter how the petition is written. He also separates two entirely different pieces of hair evidence that keep getting reported online as if they were the same thing.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Four sworn admissions of deliberate murder. A judge who asked, point blank, whether Bryan Kohberger was pleading guilty because he was guilty — and whether anyone had forced him into it. He said yes to the first question and no to the second, on the record, with his own attorneys standing beside him. Thirteen months later, he's telling a different story. Kohberger's handwritten petition to withdraw his guilty plea in the University of Idaho student murders rests on a specific claim: "clumps of hair" recovered from a victim's hand that he says prove someone else did this. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examined that claim against the actual unsealed record and found the phrase doesn't exist in any forensic report or court filing. It's from a book. The real testing, done by Kohberger's own defense expert, found the hair morphologically consistent with the victim's own. There's also a detail in the petition about who was present during Kohberger's meetings with his own defense attorneys — a claim that, if it goes anywhere, could complicate his case far more than it helps it. Coffindaffer and Tony Brueski go through what prosecutors had lined up before the plea — an amended witness list naming a hundred and eighty people — and why the math facing Kohberger now is brutal: a clean plea colloquy, a defense expert's own findings, and a legal standard that almost never favors petitions like this one. They also break down what was actually recovered from the crime scene, what was tested and what wasn't, and how two separate pieces of hair evidence ended up being reported online as if they were one single, damning detail.

Bryan Kohberger stood in an Idaho courtroom and told a judge, four separate times, that he deliberately killed each of his victims. Asked if he was pleading guilty because he was guilty, he said yes. Asked if anyone had forced him, he said no. Thirteen months later, from a maximum security cell, he's asking a judge to let him take it all back. Live, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer go through Kohberger's handwritten petition line by line against the actual unsealed record. His central claim — that "clumps of hair" found in a victim's hand prove his innocence — traces back to a published book, not to any forensic report. His own defense team already had a hair from that hand tested. It came back consistent with the victim's own. Then there's the line in the petition that may matter more than the hair: Kohberger's claim about exactly who was present during his private meetings with his own attorneys. Coffindaffer breaks down why prosecutors and defense teams alike take that kind of allegation seriously, and why it could cut against him instead of helping his case. They also cover the amended witness list naming a hundred and eighty people prosecutors were prepared to call, what got recovered from the crime scene, what never got tested, and why nearly every legal expert who has looked at petitions like this one says they fail — even when, on paper, the law allows them to be filed at all. It's a live breakdown of where the actual evidence ends and where the petition starts filling in its own version of events.

Bryan Kohberger stood in court and admitted, four separate times under oath, that he deliberately killed each of his four victims. A judge asked if he was pleading guilty because he was guilty. He said yes. The judge asked if anyone had forced him into the deal. He said no. Thirteen months later, from a maximum security cell, he's asking a court to erase that entire exchange. His handwritten petition to withdraw the plea makes three claims: his lawyers failed him, proof of his innocence was buried before he signed, and he was frightened into the deal with lies about what a life sentence and Idaho's death row actually mean. The proof he leans on hardest is a detail — "clumps of hair" found in a victim's hand — that doesn't exist in any court filing or forensic report. It's from a published book. Newly unsealed records show his own defense DNA expert already tested a hair from that hand and found it consistent with the victim's own. Further into the petition sits a claim about exactly who Kohberger says was present during his private meetings with his own attorneys — a detail that may cost him more credibility than it buys him. Tony Brueski breaks down the amended witness list naming a hundred and eighty people prosecutors were prepared to call before the plea, what the unsealed record actually shows versus what the petition claims, and why the legal standard for taking back a guilty plea this clean almost never gets met — no matter how the request is written. This channel will track every filing as the case moves, including whatever the judge decides about a new trial.

Thirteen unscripted moments from across the seasons, 2022 through 2024, exactly as they happened: the world runs on the attempt to control. We have all lived this one. Gripping the wheel, planning the future, telling ourselves stories about how things should be going, and suffering when reality does something else. That is exactly why these conversations are worth revisiting. Our experiences are the real teachers, and every speaker in this episode is just being honest about theirs. Yours will teach you the same way if you let them.

S.O.S. (Stories of Service) - Ordinary people who do extraordinary work
Let us know what you think of the show and what we can do better! Thirteen service members died at Abbey Gate, and the country barely blinked before the headlines changed. That silence is what Navy veteran, entrepreneur, and wooden flag craftsman Joe Burdick could not accept, so he turned remembrance into something tangible, public, and permanent.We talk about the Abbey Gate bombing during the Kabul evacuation and why it still hits so hard for Global War on Terror veterans who understand the true cost of service. Joe walks me through his own Navy aviation story, the disorienting shift from military purpose to civilian uncertainty, and how building handmade wooden American flags became a bridge back to service. What began as craftsmanship and community support grew into something much bigger once he met Gold Star families, including the family of Max Soviak, the only one of the 13 from Ohio.From there, the conversation becomes a blueprint for civic action and veteran advocacy. Joe explains how he organized a local Abbey Gate Remembrance Day in Seven Hills, partnered with state lawmakers, testified, and helped pass Ohio Senate Bill 244 to honor all 13 fallen by name. We also dig into what this kind of remembrance can look like in schools and communities, why the national effort still matters, and the simple steps listeners can take to push similar legislation in their own states.If you believe “never forget” has to mean more than a post, listen, share this with someone who cares about military service and Gold Star families, and subscribe and leave a review so more people find these stories.Support the showVisit my website: https://thehello.llc/THERESACARPENTERRead my writings on my blog: https://www.theresatapestries.com/Listen to other episodes on my podcast: https://storiesofservice.buzzsprout.comWatch episodes of my podcast:https://www.youtube.com/c/TheresaCarpenter76
In July 2025, Bryan Kohberger stood in an Ada County courtroom and admitted to killing four University of Idaho students. The plea deal gave him four consecutive life sentences without parole and removed the death penalty. He signed a nine-page questionnaire. He told the judge he was guilty.Thirteen months later, he wants it all back. His handwritten petition for post-conviction relief claims ineffective assistance of counsel, coercion, and withheld evidence. He alleges his lawyers told his family a fabricated story about death row to pressure the deal. He says he was advised to lie.The evidence he cites: hair found near Ethan Chapin's hand that wasn't Kohberger's. But his own defense expert tested that hair and concluded it was consistent with Chapin's own hair. The characterization he uses — "clumps of hair" — came from a third-party book, not from any official record.Idaho law sets the post-sentencing bar at manifest injustice. Kohberger waived his right to appeal. He endorsed the plea under oath. The court has appointed attorney Gregory Rauch to take the petition forward.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis weighs the legal standard, the obstacles, and whether Kohberger just traded a guaranteed life sentence for a shot at the firing squad.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The Lindsay Clancy murder trial is into its first full week of testimony at Plymouth Superior Court, and the prosecution's case is already raising a question it may not want the jury asking: whose theory does the evidence support?Thirteen psychiatric medications. A hospital admission three weeks before the incident. A journal documenting a woman begging for help. A toxicology report showing every drug within its therapeutic window — as if the combination of thirteen separate mind-altering substances doesn't matter if each one passes on its own.Defense attorney Kevin Reddington conceded the government's case-in-chief. She killed her children. The blood matches. The physical evidence is not in dispute. That tactical move saved the prosecution from calling dozens of witnesses — but it also reframed the entire trial around the only question that matters: was Lindsay Clancy criminally responsible?The prosecution's own psychiatrist admitted under cross-examination that psychosis can present as calm cooperation. The state's expert just undercut the state's argument.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis examines the prosecution's strategy, the defense's gamble, and what the jury is actually hearing after week one of testimony.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Bryan Kohberger took four consecutive life sentences in July 2025 specifically to keep the death penalty off the table. Thirteen months later, he filed a handwritten petition trying to undo his guilty plea — and the death penalty came right back into the conversation.His petition for post-conviction relief alleges his lawyers coerced him, hid exculpatory evidence, and told him actual guilt didn't matter. He claims he was advised to lie in court. He says his defense team fabricated a story about death row to scare his family into supporting the deal.Idaho's legal standard for withdrawing a guilty plea after sentencing is manifest injustice — an extraordinarily high bar. Kohberger signed a nine-page questionnaire confirming his plea was voluntary. He told the judge under oath he was guilty. He answered yes to every safeguard question designed to prevent exactly what he's trying to do.A new attorney, Gregory Rauch, has been appointed to represent him. The attorney general says Idaho stands ready. The families of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin say they welcome a trial.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis assesses the petition's legal viability, what the prosecution's response will look like, and whether Kohberger understands the gamble he just made.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Our card this week is Ilene Misheloff, the Ace of Hearts from California. Thirteen-year-old Ilene Misheloff normally walked the same path home from school most days. And on January 30, 1989, all signs indicate she took that same route… and ALMOST made it home. But something… or someone intervened. And somehow, with all the traffic and houses that lined her route, no one saw the moment that Ilene Misheloff disappeared. In a case with so many leads and tips, investigators all these years later are left with one physical piece of evidence and a million questions… some of which they're hoping you might be able to answer. Anyone with information on the 1989 disappearance of Ilene Misheloff can call the Dublin Police Services tip line at 925-833-6638.

A South Shore Hospital surgeon took the stand at Plymouth Superior Court and told the jury that Lindsay Clancy's wrist and neck injuries on the night she allegedly killed her three children were superficial. The cuts went through skin and exposed fat but didn't reach muscles, arteries, or tendons. The prosecution needed that testimony to support their argument that Clancy's attempt on her own life wasn't real. Then Clancy's defense attorney Kevin Reddington revealed something the surgeon never knew — her patient's heart had stopped at Brigham and Women's Hospital and she required massive blood transfusions to survive.The rest of Day 6 centered on prescription evidence. Thirteen bottles were presented to the jury, most nearly full. Prosecutors argued Clancy wasn't taking her medications. The defense showed all thirteen were prescribed in a three-week span. Forensic scientists confirmed five psychiatric drugs in Clancy's blood — mirtazapine, lamotrigine, quetiapine, trazodone, and benzodiazepines — and confirmed the absence of any recreational or illicit substances. Post-mortem results on Cora, five, Dawson, three, and Callan, eight months, showed nothing in their systems. Clancy also spoke in court for the first time, agreeing to stipulations that concede all physical evidence and narrow the trial entirely to her mental state.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy killed her three children. Nobody's arguing that. What the state of Massachusetts wants you to skip past is the part where an entire medical apparatus watched a woman disintegrate in real time, handed her a fistful of scripts, cycled her on and off drugs like a science fair project, and then clutched its pearls when the worst thing imaginable happened in a house in Duxbury.This week I'm walking through the Clancy case as her trial finally gets going in Plymouth County. Postpartum psychosis, the kind that's rare enough for every provider to treat like someone else's problem. A stack of prescriptions and a psychiatric system that failed her at every single door she walked through, including the one she checked herself into. And a prosecution that would rather cage a paralyzed woman than say out loud that the failure was systemic and it was theirs.This is not a redemption arc and I'm not going to send you off feeling better about any of it.

Thirteen months after admitting under oath that he deliberately killed four University of Idaho students, Bryan Kohberger claims a book convinced him he's innocent. His petition points to evidence in Ethan Chapin's hand that he says was never disclosed — but unsealed documents show a defense expert already tested it, and it matched the victim. Retired FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer walks through what the petition actually says versus what the forensic record contains, why Kohberger's language mirrors a published book rather than legal filings, and the one procedural move that would make or break his case: whether former defense attorney Anne Taylor admits under oath that she failed her client. The families were promised no more appeals. Prosecutor Bill Thompson put that in writing. That promise was never his to make.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, I'm talking about one of the questions I'm asked most often: How do I know if I'm actually healing? After separation or divorce, it's easy to feel like you're making progress one day, only to be triggered the next and wonder if you're back where you started. I explore why healing is rarely a straight line and how setbacks don't erase the progress you've already made. If you've been questioning whether you're moving forward, this episode offers reassurance, perspective, and reminders to help you recognise the quiet signs of healing that are often easy to miss.

Why Bryan Kohberger's own words might sink the petition he just filed comes down to one moment: a judge asked him, under oath, if he was pleading guilty because he was guilty, and he said yes. Thirteen months after that plea, representing himself, Kohberger filed a handwritten petition for post-conviction relief in Ada County District Court. He told the New York Times his actual innocence is his truth and called investigators' account of the case a work of fiction. Before the filing reached anyone official, he called a reporter from a prison phone, and what came out of that call left the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin dealing with a scenario they were promised in writing would never reach them. The petition claims ineffective assistance of counsel, undisclosed evidence, and a distorted picture of what death row and a life sentence would actually look like, with threats and false promises blamed for the confession itself. He's also said he'd welcome the death penalty being sought again if this reaches trial. There's a procedural wrinkle most coverage has missed: the appeal waiver he signed never closed the door on challenging whether the plea itself was valid, and that's the entire premise of this filing. The Goncalves family answered within hours, taking the petition apart in detail. There was never a trial, never a cross-examination, and no motive on the record.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
A judge asked Bryan Kohberger, under oath, whether he was pleading guilty because he was guilty. He said yes. Thirteen months later, that exchange is the exact thing threatening to sink the petition he just filed to take it all back. Representing himself, Kohberger filed a handwritten petition for post-conviction relief in Ada County District Court, telling the New York Times that his actual innocence is his truth and calling the investigators' account a work of fiction. Before any of that reached a court, he got to a prison phone and called a reporter. Not a lawyer. Not a filing. A newspaper. What followed has put the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin in a position they were promised in writing they'd never be in. The petition alleges ineffective assistance of counsel, evidence his defense team failed to disclose, and a distorted picture of what a life sentence and death row would actually look like, with threats and false promises blamed for the original confession. He's also said he'd welcome prosecutors seeking the death penalty again if this goes to trial. There's a procedural detail most coverage has skipped: the appeal waiver he signed never blocked a challenge to whether the plea itself was valid, which is the entire basis for this filing. The Goncalves family answered within hours, dismantling the petition point by point. There was never a trial, never a cross-examination, and no motive was ever put on the record. We go through the filing, the phone call, and the sentence that may undo both. None of this gets decided by a headline. A judge in Ada County reads it next.

Bryan Kohberger sank his own case with one line, and he said it under oath more than a year before he tried to take it all back. Tonight we go through exactly how that happened. He stood in an Idaho courtroom and pleaded guilty four times to the University of Idaho student murders. Thirteen months later, representing himself, he filed a handwritten petition for post-conviction relief in Ada County, telling the New York Times his actual innocence is his truth. Before it ever reached a judge, he called a reporter from a prison phone, and what he said in that call put the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin in a position they'd been promised, in writing, could never happen. His petition claims his defense team withheld evidence and painted a distorted picture of what death row and a life sentence would look like, and that threats and false promises produced the original confession. He's also said he'd welcome the death penalty being sought again at a new trial. But the line that matters most came the day he pleaded. When the judge asked him directly, under oath, whether he was pleading guilty because he was guilty, he said yes. The Goncalves family responded within hours, taking the petition apart point by point. There was never a trial, never a cross-examination, and no motive was ever entered on the record. We walk through what he filed and why it may not hold up. None of it gets resolved tonight. It goes to a judge in Ada County from here.

Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children in Duxbury, Massachusetts. She doesn't deny what happened. This trial is entirely about whether she was criminally responsible when it did. Tony Brueski is joined live by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, more than thirty years across private practice, community mental health, crisis teams, and forensic programs, to unpack the opening days of testimony — starting with prosecutors putting Patrick Clancy on the stand and walking him through a bag of nine pill bottles, count by count, asking what was missing. Scott and Brueski get into what the defense calls thirteen prescriptions from multiple prescribers in four months that nobody was tracking, why an afternoon of a patient looking fine doesn't rule out a psychotic illness, and what happens when an antidepressant is handed to someone with an undiagnosed bipolar condition. They cover where Massachusetts actually sends someone found not criminally responsible, which isn't out the front door, and why roughly two dozen countries have a law written for exactly this situation and the United States doesn't. This is a live conversation, so expect real reactions and audience questions alongside the clinical breakdown.

"I'd only sell for a stupid multiple. Thirteen, fifteen X." A five-practice owner from Dallas calls the hotline with the question every group owner is quietly asking: when do I sell, and what's the highest multiple anyone has actually gotten? What follows is one of the most candid breakdowns of the DSO economy you'll hear anywhere. Zombie DSOs, zero interest rate policy, bridge loans at 18 percent, dilution that sellers never see coming, and why a headline multiple is not the same as a check. Peter and Craig make the case for a different scoreboard entirely: do the honest math, optimize for cash flow, and build a life you don't want to sell. Dr. Cary Brown returns with an update on his My Story journey from February: Google reviews doubled, revenue consistently up, and a self-graded report card that Peter and Craig immediately push back on. The real lesson isn't the tactics. It's the psychology of giving yourself credit and the power of consistency over intensity. Plus, a milestone to open the show: the Bulletproof Summit 2026 is officially sold out, and Craig records his final podcast from his current office before breaking ground on a 3,000 square foot expansion that takes his practice to 26 operatories. At 55, he's stepping on the gas again. Got a story or a question for the guys? Call 561-933-5575. www.bulletproofmastermind.com www.bulletproofsummit.com

In 1986 the North and West End neighborhoods of Tacoma trusted their parks. That was, until two girls disappeared from public parks in Tacoma, Washington within a few miles and a few months of each other, both stories ending in tragedy. Twelve-year-old Michella Welch disappeared from Puget Park on a bright Wednesday afternoon in March. Thirteen-year-old Jennifer Bastian vanished from Point Defiance Park while riding her brand-new Schwinn bike that same year in August.For nearly three decades, investigators believed the girls had been killed by the same man. The circumstances were too similar to imagine otherwise. As Jennifer's mother Pattie put it, there couldn't possibly be two monsters in Tacoma. And yet – there were. In this episode we walk through what happened to Michella and Jenni, the assumption that shaped multiple decades of the investigation, the evidence that finally broke that assumption apart, and the two very different paths that led to justice.Their cases also led to Jennifer & Michella's Law – the 2019 Washington legislation that expanded mandatory DNA collection for convicted felons and now stands as a legislative legacy for both girls. Michella Welch and Jennifer Bastian were just little girls who should have had the chance to grow up. Both were blonde, blue-eyed girls on their bikes, doing exactly what kids had always been trusted to do – enjoying their local park. If the story moves you, we'd love it if you shared the episode - it helps the show, and most importantly these two girls deserve to be remembered by name.Visit our website!

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
A woman in a psychiatric crisis drove herself to a locked ward on New Year's Eve and checked herself in voluntarily. The malpractice complaint filed against her providers says she was not seen by a doctor for three days. She was discharged after five with no indication she was a danger to anyone. Three weeks later her three children were dead.Built around four clips from the prosecution's opening statement at Plymouth Superior Court, this breakdown follows ADA Shanan Buckingham's argument and tests it against the record.The state's premeditation theory rests on a clock and a fourteen-second phone call. Underneath it is a premise the prosecution never states directly: that organization proves a sound mind. The clinical literature on postpartum psychosis runs the other direction, and this episode goes through what it actually documents. Then the Massachusetts standard that gives the defense two doors and requires the Commonwealth to close both beyond a reasonable doubt.The provider record laid out in the civil complaints is where the case lives. Thirteen medications. Five prescribers, none holding the full picture. A referral that went unanswered. An appointment the day before that the state's opening skips entirely. And the prosecutor's own observation about Clancy's access to care, offered as proof of guilt, that may be the most damaging sentence about the system anyone said that morning.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
