Summary
I’M BACK – Thank you so much for hanging in there with me, while I took some time away from the podcast rather unexpectedly. I miss my dad quite a bit, so coming back has been really daunting. If you read this far, thank you again for hanging out until I got it all together to come back to a place I’ve called ‘home’ for the last 10 years. I’m not done with TCCWL [probs will do this into my 70s! lol]
You might remember this phrase from health class: “All medicines are drugs, but not all drugs are medicines.” It was a simple reminder that while there’s nothing wrong with needing medication, even the ones that sound intimidating, we have to be careful about what we take and how much.

Content Warnings: murder, prescription drug use, familicide, mentions of suicide.

| 0:13.0 | Before we begin this episode, I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who has |
| 0:18.4 | checked in on me since September. |
| 0:20.5 | I lost my stepfather, |
| 0:22.9 | September 12th, and his loss has been really difficult for me. It put me in a very difficult |
| 0:30.3 | headspace to even want to come back and create content in the way that I did either online |
| 0:35.2 | or even through the podcast. |
| 0:39.3 | And I just needed some time to heal. |
| 0:42.6 | I recently celebrated my birthday on November 16th. |
| 0:45.8 | Thank you in advance for all of the birthday wishes. |
| 0:51.7 | I realized that I needed to take some time definitely for myself and really just kind of focus on trying to get my little spark back, things that |
| 0:55.7 | make me excited to create content. So I really appreciate everyone hanging in. I'm not going to lie, |
| 1:02.8 | it is a little nerve-wracking to be back on the podcast, but this is what I love to do. It is one |
| 1:08.2 | of the things that brings me a lot of joy to be able to share |
| 1:11.3 | cases from a really empathetic point of view. On top of the loss of my father, before that, |

| 1:24.2 | very staunch advocate for ethics and advocacy within true crime creation and |
| 1:28.8 | consumption. And unfortunately, there are people who I felt were not really living by those |
