It's when I first had an experience with my mom regarding her addiction. It's a very personal episode. Things that people who have known me my whole life did not know. Writing that with respect to my mom, but also being honest was very difficult to do. There's different versions of that episode on a Google Drive somewhere where I'm a little harsher on my mom.

There's ones where I'm not as honest as I should have been. And then we finally got to that middle ground where it was equal parts honest and empathetic, but also real and raw. That one was really difficult. I would say my relationship with my mom hasn't changed at all. I don't know how many episodes she's listened to. I know she's heard the one about her.

When starting this, the whole point of it was no one is talking about my dad. We're happy to talk about other mainstream cases of quote-unquote perfect victims, but my dad never made any list of top cases you should know about. That was sort of the goal. So the healing part of that is that it's slowly but surely getting to that point where now people are talking about it.

And that is really exciting for me because the thing I set out to do, I'm starting to see the results of. I remember Googling the case just to see, was there anything online I could look at or look up? And there was absolutely nothing.

And so it's actually been an interesting exercise for me now to Google the show, myself, my dad, and to see all of the articles that come up when before there was nothing, I think really speaks to the power of media as well, but also what has really been accomplished since launching the show almost immediately. exactly a year ago. I think that for me has been really healing.

And that's been incredible. Knowing that's what's eventually going to be the catalyst for solving the case, I think is very exciting. I think that's why I haven't had as long of breaks as I used to when I wasn't putting out the show. Now there is this motivator of people care and people are invested and people are sending in tips.

So you've got to keep making episodes that you keep getting more information. That's been really wonderful. A traumatic side of that is you've now opened yourself up to the opinions of other people. And I've invited the world to listen into my deepest trauma and the things that make me who I am.
