How many more times do we have to watch women lose before we finally admit the system was never built to protect us?  In this episode, I connect the dots between three stories that broke my heart in different ways: Adolescence, the Netflix show that shows how easily young girls are thrown away Bree Olson’s fight to keep her child because of the shame our culture puts on women who refuse to live quietly And the devastating story of Cyntoia Brown, who was punished for surviving the kind of violence no one protected her from. These stories aren’t just sad. They’re a mirror. Until we stop treating women like objects—something to use, discard, or judge—none of us are truly safe. 🎧 Research Sources: Single Mom Attorney Podcast – Listen here Do We Know Them Podcast – Listen here 💬 I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments. 🔔 Subscribe if you're tired of watching women be silenced, and you’re ready to be part of the conversation that changes it.

So its been a minute! Like any proper lady I don't wanna justjump right into things, lets warm up a little. Get to know each other better, have an appetizer of sorts! In this episode we catch up a little but mostly tell the outrageous story of Burt Pugach and Linda Riss. They were the focus of the 2007 documentary Crazy Love directed by Dan Klores. Watching this documentary always annoyed me because everyone involved, even Linda herself made such light of the situation. I couldn't understand how she could love this man after what he did to her. But after really paying attention to the details and the words from Linda herself it sounds more like a story of a woman with no village. Linda died a prisoner and a warden. It is a wild story that is truly stranger than fiction, I wish I was making this one up. Thank you for the patience during the hiatus!
