Amanda Goetz is a two-time founder, four-time CMO, and single mom of three who's helping ambitious people redefine what “having it all” actually looks like. She inspires over 150,000 readers each week through her Life's a Game newsletter and her new book, Toxic Grit: How to Have It All and Actually Love What You Have. In this conversation, Amanda shares a grounded, intentional approach to ambition—one that makes space for work, relationships, and personal growth without burning out. On this episode we talk about: Why Amanda believes ambition isn't toxic—it's lack of intention that is How to embrace “and” thinking instead of living life as an “either/or” equation The hidden cost of letting one identity (career, parent, partner) take over your life How to transition between roles, build hierarchy, and avoid constant guilt The five pillars of Amanda's “portfolio career” and how to start building one yourself Top 3 Takeaways The solution to overwork or burnout isn't quitting ambition—it's learning to balance all your “characters” with awareness and structure. A thriving career doesn't have to compete with family, purpose, or rest—it can coexist when you embrace the and. Genuine success comes from self-awareness and human connection—two things that automation and hustle culture can't replace. Notable Quotes “Life isn't an or statement—it's an and. You can chase goals and still build a life you love.” “Toxic grit happens when one character takes over the whole storyline of your life.” “You can't automate your way out of human connection.” A Word from Our Sponsors:- The most successful business owners don't do it all themselves — they delegate.

Donald Trump has been running propaganda ads starring, well, himself as a way to help the GOP in the midterms. The ads are government-funded, and one official even suggested that the payment scheme is partly designed to get media attention to the ads, amplifying them further. It's appallingly corrupt and potentially illegal. But, amusingly, they're backfiring: A new Quinnipiac poll shows that Trump is more toxic for the GOP than we thought. It finds his approval at an abysmal 34 percent, and at 31 percent on the economy, a record low for him. Worse, Democrats now lead Republicans on the economy, international conflicts and immigration, three traditional GOP strengths, underscoring just how big a drag he's become. We talked to David Corn, author of the new book How Russia Won and a New Republic piece on Trumpian propaganda. We discuss how badly Trump is screwing the GOP, why those TV ads are destined to fail, why he'll grow more dangerous as Election Day approaches, and how to prepare for it.

In this episode, John dives into the complexities of faith and power dynamics as he discusses the release of Dr. Kristin Kobes Du Mez's new book, "Live, Laugh, Love: The Secret History of White Christian Women and the World They Made." John and Dr. Du Mez explore how the seemingly innocuous phrase "live, laugh, love" masks a deeper narrative about submission, consumerism, and the intertwining of evangelical teachings with capitalism. They delve into the historical roots of these ideologies, tracing them back to 19th-century holiness theology and the impact it has had on generations of women.John and Dr. Du Mez also examine the troubling relationship between Christian nationalism and the empowerment of women, highlighting how many women have been conditioned to accept authoritarian structures in their personal and communal lives. The conversation touches on the role of multi-level marketing in perpetuating these narratives and how the ideals of beauty and holiness are often intertwined with economic success.Additionally, they discuss the implications of toxic empathy and the redefinition of compassion within religious communities, questioning how these shifts have led to a dangerous environment for those who challenge the status quo. With powerful insights and a critical lens, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersections of faith, gender, and power in contemporary society.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's Throwback Thursday! The foiled terror attack at the RAF Fairford base in England reminded us of a program we did 17 years ago. about a purportedly fictional series of events called BlackJack—a terror event that destroys the major cities of the West, including London, New York City, Washington DC, and Mexico City, leading to a totalitarian government based in Denver that controls the Western world. Originally released June 18, 2009 VIRAL MARKETING is all the rage, as recent campaigns for movies like Cloverfield, Snakes On A Plane, and Quarantine attest. But the Blackjack feature, which has been online at the website of the London Telegraph for months (picture at right; click for larger version), is hard to figure.

Det leder till en toxisk take kring det hela. I andra halvan diskuterar vi det uppmärksammade fallet med en gängvåldtäkt på Cornell University, som endast ledde till att gärningsmännen “straffades” med att få skriva uppsatser.

Functionally Enlightened - Better ways to heal from chronic pain and illness
What happens when you're living with very real symptoms—but your tests look “normal,” treatments aren't working, and you leave medical appointments feeling unheard?In this episode of the Functionally Enlightened Podcast, Dr. Sharon Surita sits down with Cyndii Sinex, public health practitioner and founder of the Chronic Illness Hotline, to discuss one of the most difficult parts of chronic illness: navigating a healthcare system when you don't feel believed, understood, or adequately supported.Cyndii's own experience with misdiagnosis and medical dismissal helped inspire the Chronic Illness Hotline—a free, text-based peer-support initiative created for people living with chronic illness, chronic pain, disability, injury, neurodivergence, and those still searching for answers. Sharon and Cyndii discuss the exhaustion of constantly advocating for yourself, the financial and physical burden of repeated medical appointments, and what can happen when chronically ill people remain in a persistent state of stress while trying to find answers. Most importantly, they explore why validation and peer connection matter—even when they don't provide a diagnosis or treatment. In this episode, we discuss:- Why Cyndii created the Chronic Illness Hotline- Medical gaslighting, misdiagnosis, and feeling dismissed- What it feels like when your tests are “normal” but you know something isn't right- The exhaustion of constantly advocating for yourself- Why validation can be so powerful in chronic illness- Medical bias and how it can affect the patient experience- The pressure to become the “perfect patient”- Why a treatment that works for one person may not work for another- Medication side effects and the importance of listening to patients- Toxic positivity—and why good intentions can still hurt- How pushing beyond someone's baseline can contribute to overexertion- Why caregivers need support, too- The role of peer support alongside professional healthcare- The future of the Chronic Illness Hotline- How individuals and organizations can support its relaunchThe conversation also explores healthcare bias and Cyndii's vision for developing resources that better serve communities whose experiences may be overlooked within traditional healthcare settings. For anyone living with implant illness, dysautonomia, POTS, autoimmune disease, chronic pain, invisible illness, neurodivergence, or unexplained chronic symptoms, this conversation is an important reminder that needing support doesn't mean you've failed at healing.Sometimes you need answers.Sometimes you need treatment.And sometimes you simply need someone willing to say:“I hear you.”About the Chronic Illness HotlineThe Chronic Illness Hotline is working toward relaunching a free, text-based peer-support service serving people affected by chronic illness, chronic pain, injury, disability, and neurodivergence—including people who remain undiagnosed or self-identify as living with chronic health challenges. Plans also include expanding its resource database to help connect individuals with practitioners and support services.

Teacher burnout won't be fixed with more grit. When resilience becomes the plan, schools stop redesigning the work that's draining staff. Teacher burnout and staff wellbeing get the headlines, but school leaders are missing two quieter problems: toxic resilience and bore out. Steph Hawkins, founder of Well Well Well, brings two decades of leadership across the UK and internationally, plus postgraduate work in applied positive psychology. She explains how "just dig deeper" became the bridge between unrealistic demands and human capability, and why it lets schools skip the real work. She breaks wellbeing into three layers (individual, leadership, organizational) and shows why middle leaders, the connective tissue of every school, have more agency than they think. You'll get the science of recognition that actually lands, why an overused strength starts to drain you, and how appreciative inquiry beats fixing weaknesses in school improvement planning.Depletion isn't a mark of dedication.

You're told to suffer through menopause after cancer, try lube first, and never question the blanket "no" on hormones. This episode tears that playbook apart.I sat down with Dr. Corinne Menn, a board-certified OB/GYN, Menopause Society certified practitioner, and breast cancer survivor who was diagnosed at just 28 years old, and this conversation blew me away. Dr. Menn experienced menopause three different ways — from chemotherapy-induced to medically suppressed to surgical — and that lived experience fuels her mission to make sure no woman suffers the way she did. We unpack why breast cancer is not one disease, why hormone therapy decisions must be individualized, and why the "lube it up and suck it up" culture around painful sex and vaginal atrophy needs to end…NOW!This is a wake-up call for every woman in menopause, and especially for cancer survivors who've been told their only option is to suffer in silence. Dr. Menn brings the science and the soul to our conversation about genetic testing gaps, the real data on hormone therapy after breast cancer, and why vaginal estrogen should be standard of care, full stop.Plus, she breaks down what vaginal atrophy actually looks like, why it goes way beyond "dryness," and how untreated GSM can lead to everything from chronic UTIs to hip fractures. If you've ever felt dismissed by your doctor or confused by conflicting advice, this one's for you.What You'll LearnWhy breast cancer is "as unique as your fingerprint" and why your menopause treatment should be just as individualizedThe 3 times Dr. Menn experienced menopause and how each one taught her what the medical system got wrongWhy genetic testing done before 2013 may be dangerously incomplete, and how to request updated panelsThe real data on systemic hormone therapy after breast cancer, including what the HABITS and Stockholm trials actually showedWhy vaginal estrogen is now in the NCCN guidelines and should be offered as standard of care to breast cancer survivorsThe difference between ER-positive, triple-negative, and DCIS when it comes to hormone therapy riskWhy the "fail first" approach to vaginal dryness (try lube and moisturizers before hormones) is unscientific and harmfulHow genital urinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) affects far more than just sex, including UTIs, bladder function, and even hip fractures in older womenWhat Dr. Menn would have done differently after her own diagnosis: baseline labs, bone density, vaginal hormones, and a real exercise prescriptionSamantha's "10% Toxic" philosophy and why trying to eliminate 100% of toxins actually backfired after her first cancer diagnosis…and more!About Our GuestDr. Corinne Menn is a board-certified OB/GYN and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner who was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 28 during her second year of residency in New York City. After losing her mother to ovarian cancer at 54 and later discovering she carries the BRCA2 mutation, Dr. Menn dedicated her career to helping women navigate menopause, with a particular focus on breast cancer survivors. She treats patients through both her private practice and her telemedicine practice, bringing a rare combination of clinical expertise and deeply personal experience to every patient encounter.Follow her on Instagram, TikTok, and Substack at@drmennobgyn and learn more at www.drmenn.com***************Get Cleaner, Regulated, Better Supplements for LessDid your last order of vitamins come off a big online overnight shipping platform but you have no idea how long it was sitting in an overheated warehouse?Or maybe those Omega-3's you take are actually rancid but you wouldn't know?That's why I'm excited to have found a platform that is not only efficacious and 3rd-party lab tested, but also regulated to have the ingredients in them that are on the label!And Fullscript has 100+ brands of supplements you may already be taking…only better.

How to Spot Red Flags Before a Toxic Relationship Starts Toxic relationship red flags can be easy to miss when you're dating. In this conversation, relationship coach Dave McLaclin reveals the dating red flags, compatibility issues, and warning signs you should recognize before committing. How do you know if someone is truly right for you—and when should you walk away? Dave explains the "Worthy Method" and how to evaluate a potential partner before a relationship becomes painful. On this episode of Eyes Wide Open with Nick Thompson, Dave McLaclin—relationship coach, screenwriter, bestselling author, and creator of the Worthy Method—shares his approach to identifying relationship compatibility and stopping unhealthy relationships before they begin. We discuss: • Toxic relationship red flags and why people often ignore them • Dating mistakes that can lead to painful relationships • How chemistry and the honeymoon phase can cloud judgment • How to recognize whether someone is actually compatible with you • Why trust, stability, compatibility, and communication matter • When to walk away from a dating situation • Why people stay in relationships that aren't working • How past experiences and emotional attachment affect dating decisions • The "Worthy Method" and its approach to evaluating relationships • Why creating your own relationship standards can change how you date Dave also explains how he developed the Worthy Method, an AI-assisted framework based around defining what you actually want in a partner, evaluating compatibility, and recognizing patterns before committing. The conversation also explores dating apps, dating fatigue, relationship failure, emotional responsibility, healthy boundaries, and what it means to choose a partner while keeping your eyes wide open.

In this hilarious episode, Tara sits down with Stephanie Drake and Arthur Meyer, the creative minds and co-hosts behind the hit satire series ABC Parenting. The trio dives deep into how the show brilliantly parodies the overwhelming, contradictory flood of online parenting advice that leaves so many parents feeling like they are failing. Stephanie (an actress and writer, known for her role as Meredith in Mad Men) and Arthur (a veteran comedy writer whose credits include The Tonight Show) share how their own real-life anxieties shape their sharpest sketches. The conversation highlights how ABC Parenting turns the fear-based messaging of modern parenting into comedy gold. Beyond the laughs, the conversation unpacks the very real pressures driving the satire, touching on everything from the intense stress of kindergarten "redshirting" to navigating comment sections when audiences mistake parody for actual advice, a struggle Tara knows all too well. The group also reflects on broader cultural shifts, contrasting the hands-off independence of 1980s childhoods with today's hyper-monitored, information-overloaded landscape.

This week on MTMJ Podcast w/the Wife, Mike and his wife prove once again that marriage can be equal parts love, laughter, arguments, rage bait, and absolute nonsense.
Sometimes becoming unstoppable begins with realizing you have more control over your life than you thought. Merrill Isherwood shares how her journey from professional ballet and a battle with bulimia to an abusive marriage, single parenthood, corporate struggles, and life coaching taught her the importance of self-ownership. She and Michael explore trauma recovery, toxic relationships, self-esteem, emotional support, and the courage to ask for help. Merrill also explains why coaching is not about giving people answers, but helping them discover their own strength and make conscious choices about the life they want to live. Highlights: 03:11 - Merrill shares how ballet shaped her early life and career. 11:00 - Pressure around weight led to bulimia and leaving professional ballet. 20:49 - Toxic relationships taught Merrill the importance of setting boundaries. 31:09 - A life coaching course changed how Merrill viewed control and personal responsibility. 43:28 - Trauma recovery became a focus of Merrill's coaching work. 59:16 - Undivided attention can help parents build stronger connections with their children. . About the Guest: I am still here, and I am most grateful for that privilege. I have been fortunate to live out most young girls' dreams of being a professional ballet dancer and an air hostess / flight attendant. However, for many years was terribly unhappy and felt life was not worth living.... Abusive relationships were the order of the day, both at work and in my personal life, and I unfortunately developed a severe eating disorder which taunted me for 12 years. Atop that were several sexual assaults, exorcism, home robberies, burnout, financial scarcity, manipulation and more. I overcame being completely broken emotionally; physically, experienced grief from the loss of multiple loved ones and friends; was a single parent (for over 20 years with no support), lost most of our material possessions, and loads more. Often questioning, “Why me?”, I read one day what we should be asking ourselves is “Why not me?” Why should I think, or assume I should be immune to difficulties in life? This was when I realised the power of my mind. I overcame the trauma of the above through mind control, determination, reflection, introspection, and willpower. That was a changing point in my life. Perhaps I went through these experiences so I could help others. In 2019 I studied to become a certified life coach, intent on helping others. Subsequently, I created a course on healing oneself emotionally, using the principles of life coaching. I discovered once my emotions were better aligned, the physical 'tiredness', and lethargy, decreased, and for the first time, (in what felt like forever), I decided life might be worth living after all. My desire is to teach others to do the same. Realising how much valuable time I had wasted, hiding from the world, feeling pathetic, and unworthy, I set out to make a difference, spreading love and support. At the lowest of the low, God sent heavenly friends to support me through the dark days. My mission is to strengthen, and empower others by teaching them the tools, strategies, and skills they need to succeed, and to be able to live the life they choose. I encourage them not to waste their lives being unhappy, it really IS worth putting in the work, healing, and being able to actually LIVE a productive AND fulfilling life!

What happens when your highest-performing employee is also damaging your culture?In this Mike on the Mic episode of The Better Leadership Team Show, I'm tackling one of the hardest decisions leaders face: what to do with a top producer who delivers incredible results but consistently violates your organization's core values.I've seen leaders tolerate toxic behavior because someone brings in revenue, has been with the company for years, seems impossible to replace, or might eventually respond to coaching. But every exception sends a message to the rest of the team about what your values are actually worth.I break down the five most common excuses leaders use to keep toxic top performers and explain why the true cost of keeping them goes far beyond what appears on a sales or productivity report.Key Takeaways:Why performance must include both productivity and culture fitThe hidden organizational cost of a toxic top producerWhy being short-staffed may not be as dangerous as keeping the wrong personHow loyalty can become an excuse for avoiding a difficult decisionWhy productivity issues are often more coachable than culture-fit problemsHow fear of lawsuits and negative reactions can weaken your cultureWhy doing nothing is still a leadership decisionHow to identify the excuse preventing you from taking actionYour best people are watching what you tolerate. If your core values are truly non-negotiable, they have to apply to everyone—including the people delivering your biggest numbers.Resources MentionedVisit my website: mike-goldman.comTake the Talent Density Quick Assessment: mike-goldman.com/talent-density-quick-assessmentThanks for listening!

Staying in a toxic law firm because you want to help change it can feel like a good reason to stay. You want to get to a position where you have more influence and can use that influence to make the environment better. The question is what staying long enough to get there is costing you along the way.The harder part is that toxic environments can change your sense of what is normal or acceptable. You can start out very clear about what feels wrong and, over time, become more comfortable with things you previously would not have accepted. If the goal is to eventually use your influence to create change, you also have to be realistic about the difference between playing the game to get there and becoming part of the machine.In this episode of The Former Lawyer Podcast, Sarah Cottrell talks about the cost of staying in a toxic law firm because you want to change it from the inside. She explains why toxic environments can change your sense of what is and is not okay, why gaining influence can make it harder to use that influence the way you originally intended, and why it is important to keep reassessing what staying is doing to you.0:30 - Staying in a toxic law firm because you want to change it1:45 - Lawyers think about the cost of leaving, not the cost of staying2:15 - Staying to fix the environment can change you3:08 - Playing the game to make change versus becoming part of the machine4:21 - What happens when you finally have the influence you were waiting for5:23 - Your conscience can be formed by your environment6:18 - Being clear about who you are and what you are willing to do7:50 - When the effect staying is having on you is a reason to reassessMentioned In The Cost of Staying in a Toxic Law FirmFirst Steps to Leaving the Law1:1 Coaching with Sarah Cottrell
Send us Fan MailToday, Emilia and Bianca take on one of the most uncomfortable and least talked about topics there is: the toxic family narratives so many of us absorbed growing up, and how these sayings were built to protect the family image rather than the people inside it.In this episode, we unpack the real origin of "blood is thicker than water" and why its true meaning is the opposite of how families use it, the common mottos like "what happens in the house stays in the house" and "I'll give you something to cry about," and how appearances can come to matter more than truth. Drawing on the work of John Bradshaw, Virginia Satir, and Dr. Yael Danieli, they explore shame-based family rules, multigenerational legacies of trauma, and why so many of us learned to override our own sense that something wasn't safe. If you've ever quietly known the truth about your family system, this conversation is your permission slip to acknowledge it as real.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #535 | I Did the Best I Could Is Not a Valid Excuse - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/535-everything-you-need-to-know-about-handling-rude/id1511831621?i=1000786923905 Learn more about:
What happens when you leave a 15-year relationship filled with cheating, lying, manipulation, and broken promises… and have to figure out dating all over again?In this episode, I sit down with Luba for a completely unfiltered conversation about modern dating, boundaries, dating younger men, casual relationships, sex, protection, aftercare, cheating, and learning to pay attention to someone's actions instead of their words.Luba opens up about trying to leave her previous relationship seven times, why she eventually had to completely remove herself from the situation, and what dating has looked like for her since.We also get into dating apps, why she refuses to give men her phone number right away, the difference between dating older and younger, why aftercare matters even in casual situations, and how past relationships can continue affecting you even when you think you've healed.No script. No filters. Just a real conversation from a male and female perspective about dating, intimacy, boundaries, and relationships.Get your Bryght products herehttps://bryghtenup.com/?ref=vczsjoacLuba's Socialshttps://www.instagram.com/lubasasowski/https://www.instagram.com/bryghtenup/Sponsored by Rinse Kings Pressure Washing and Cleaninghttps://www.instagram.com/rinsekingsaz/My Socialshttps://linktr.ee/SkarxFace
Send us Fan MailThinking about swinging? Before you start looking for events, downloading apps, or trying to convince your partner to give it a shot, you need to have a few conversations first.Dr. Stephanie sits down with Jason Lee of That Other Lifestyle for a RAW, REAL, UNFILTERED conversation about what it actually takes to navigate the swinging lifestyle in a healthy, respectful way.They dig into the culture and etiquette of the lifestyle, why swinging should enhance rather than repair a relationship, and why the word “convince” should probably disappear from conversations about opening a relationship.They also tackle some of the issues men don't always talk about: performance pressure, erectile disappointment, masculinity, friendships, hygiene, communication, and the expectations men bring into lifestyle spaces.In this episode:• Why you can't “convince” your partner to swing• Is swinging a hobby—or part of your identity?• Boundaries vs. agreements vs. rules• What are “vanilla swingers”?• Why opening a relationship won't fix an unhealthy one• Consent and etiquette in lifestyle spaces• Why men experience sexual performance pressure• Erectile disappointment and getting out of your own head• Toxic masculinity and male friendship• Hygiene, appearance, and what people actually notice• Why communication needs to happen before you ever enter the playroom• The importance of not “yucking someone else's yum”Whether you're curious about swinging, brand-new to consensual non-monogamy, or you've been in the lifestyle for years, this episode goes beyond the fantasy and gets into the relationship skills that make navigating the lifestyle actually work.Connect with Jason Lee:That Other Lifestylehttps://thatotherlifestyle.comConnect with Dr. Stephanie:Evolve Your Intimacyhttps://www.evolveyourintimacy.comRAW.

Have you ever walked into a church and known exactly where you stood before anyone said a word to you? Somebody else got the handshake, the follow-up text, the seat up front, and you got a smile that was about a second too short. If you've been through spiritual abuse or an unhealthy church, you already know this feeling. What you might not know is that the Bible has a name for it, and it isn't "awkward." James calls it the sin of partiality. We call it favoritism, or we don't call it anything at all. In James 2 he puts it in the same sentence as murder and adultery, and we think it's the engine that spiritual abuse runs on.In this episode, Alycia and Stewart White walk through James 2:1-13 and talk about the sin almost every church commits and almost no one confesses. We get into what the Greek word actually means (it's a courtroom word), why God says over and over that He shows no partiality, and what He says to shepherds who do. We also give you the one test to hold onto for the whole episode: the question isn't whether somebody got treated differently. The question is whether the rules changed because of who they were.We're talking to three people. The person who was on the wrong side of the handshake. The pastor who wants to get this right and was never taught it. And the leader who has done this and never once thought of it as sin. All three of you, stay.If you were treated as less because you had less to offer, that wasn't your imagination and it wasn't God.We love the church. We say it every episode and we mean it. That's the whole reason we're willing to say this out loud. God has something to say about who gets seen in His house, and we'd rather help you hear it now than watch it become someone's story later.SCRIPTURES REFERENCED James 2:1-13 | Luke 7:36-50 | Romans 13:7 | 1 Timothy 5:17-21 | Deuteronomy 10:17-18 | Job 34:19 | Acts 10:34 | Romans 2:11 | 1 Samuel 16:7 | Genesis 1:26-27 | Malachi 2:9 | Ezekiel 34:4, 16, 21 | John 10:11 | Mark 12:38-44 | 3 John 9-10 | Galatians 2:11-14 | Matthew 18:15-17 | Leviticus 19:15 | Isaiah 53:2 | 2 Corinthians 8:9 | Philippians 2:7 | Mark 12:14 | Romans 5:6-8 | Ephesians 2:8-9 | 1 John 1:9 | Galatians 5:22-23 | Ephesians 2:14If this episode named something you've lived, would you share it with someone who needs to hear that it wasn't just their imagination?

We would rather walk through it with you than watch you become an episode.Shepherd's Heart is hosted by Stewart and Alycia White.

*Content Warning: infidelity, physical abuse, intimate partner violence, domestic violence, and murder.Jenn Holman is a survivor, mother, and faithful family woman living in Idaho by way of Southern California. Jenn's path first crossed with Amy Chesler's over eighteen years ago when she began dating Amy's brother. Jenn has chosen to address him as Jesse in this episode, although Amy referred to her brother as ‘Rory' in Something Was Wrong Season 7. Jenn's relationship with Jesse began a year and a few months prior to Amy's mother's murder. Although Amy was privy to a portion of what Jenn will share in this conversation, some of the more explicit details of the abuse Jenn faced evaded them as a family. Through this interview, Amy also learned a lot more about the night her mother was murdered. Amy is grateful for Jenn's bravery in sharing, and is personally deeply grateful she was willing to divulge so much about her experiences. It may have taken Amy & Jenn nearly eighteen years to have this conversation, but as Hippocrates said, “Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.”Related Links:- Jenn on X: https://x.com/jennjenn10- Season 7 of Something Was Wrong: https://somethingwaswrong.com/season-7/- [WCN Presents] SWW Season 7 Updates Part 1: https://podcasts.apple.com/zw/podcast/amy-b-chesler-evil-lives-here-this-sh-t-doesnt-end/id1674051643?i=1000602598564- [WCN Presents] SWW Season 7 Updates Part 2: https://podcasts.apple.com/zw/podcast/amy-b-chesler-evil-lives-here-the-darkest-times-are/id1674051643?i=1000612743331- Petition: Keep Jesse Winnick in Prison: https://www.change.org/p/sign-to-keep-jesse-winnick-in-prison-in-loving-memory-of-hadas-winnick- Evil Lives Here: Season 11, Episode 2 - “What if He Gets Out?” https://www.hbomax.com/is/en/shows/evil-lives-here/s11/92560c9b-551c-4fe8-82aa-ae5e023e2d69/e2-what-if-he-gets-out/5d9627e6-fdd8-40f3-8d48-c07e5fdfac0c- I'm Related to a Killer: Season 1, Episode 1 - “Jesse Winnick”https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0DG1DJQG9/ref=atv_hm_hom_c_lZOsi7_1_34?jic=8%7CEgNhbGw%3D- HBO Max's Toxic, Season 2, Episode 1 - “Don't Go Home”https://www.hbomax.com/show/33977981-2e30-45d2-98c6-3145f9c40b33/s2For additional resources and a list of related non-profit organizations, please visit http://www.somethingwaswrong.com/resources
