Have you ever had that chilling realization, maybe after a “friend” flips on you, or you catch someone using your deepest secrets against you, that you never really saw them at all? That you thought you were safe, but you were actually being “studied” the whole time?
In today’s episode, we’re going where almost no one is willing to go: inside the mind of a self-aware, high-functioning sociopath. Patric Gagne is a diagnosed sociopath with a PhD in clinical psychology, who’s here to break every stereotype, share how she learned to control her behavior, and expose exactly what’s going on behind “the mask.” If you worry you’ve been manipulated, lied to, or even stalked by someone who feels no guilt or shame, this is your survival guide.
Trust me, homie. You’ll never think of “intuition” the same way after this conversation.
Here’s exactly what we dive into:
- The chilling reality of life without guilt, shame, or remorse
- How sociopaths mask, mirror, and manipulate (and the tactics to watch out for)
- Why women are NOT immune to these traits (and the myths about sociopathic mothers)
- Diagnostic myths: the real differences between men and women, sociopaths vs. psychopaths, and the spectrum no one talks about

We all watched in shock as Elizabeth Holmes, once hailed as the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire, rose to the top with Theranos, promising to revolutionize medicine through a single drop of blood. But when it all came crashing down, she left a trail of shattered dreams, empty bank accounts, and broken trust behind her.
In this episode, I sit down with legendary former FBI special agent Jana Monroe, the real-life inspiration for Jodie Foster’s Clarice Starling in Silence of the Lambs. For more than two decades, Jana profiled serial killers, liars, and white-collar criminals. If anyone knows what evil really looks like, it’s her.
With a new documentary about Elizabeth Holmes dropping soon, Jana Monroe digs into the secrets behind what really goes on in the mind of a woman who fooled some of the savviest investors on the planet. If you want to understand the truth about manipulation, charisma, and how women like Elizabeth rewrite the rules of deception, homie, you can’t miss this.SHOWNOTES

- Why leaving an abusive partner is actually the most lethal time—and what to do instead

What happens when the “hero” turns out to be the monster? In part 2, acclaimed detective Paul Holes takes us into the darkest recesses of the criminal mind — dissecting the Gilgo Beach murders (Rex Heuermann), the tragic Micah Miller case, and showing how even smart, successful women can be hoodwinked by master manipulators. This is the episode every woman and every friend needs to hear for recognizing manipulative tactics, escaping control, and reclaiming your power.
Paul (straight-up genius in criminal psychology), Nicole Schmidt, and I unpack: why the “rescuer” with a dark room is a huge red flag, how powerful men weaponize faith or mental health, and the horrifying stats about leaving abusive partners. We lay out, step by step, how to spot red flags early — and, most importantly, how to build a plan for your own safety when the system fails you.
SHOWNOTES
- Why abusers pick certain women: the rescuing, the love bombing, the compliance
- Sadistic predators and the “room you can’t enter”: The dark psychology of secret spaces
- Why women sometimes protect the abuser, and the heartbreaking cycle of compliance
- Micah Miller case: faith, coercive control, and the weaponizing of power
- “Predators go where the prey’s at”: doctors, pastors, psychologists aren’t always safe
- Weaponizing faith, weaponizing sex: the step-by-step tactics of abusers
- When mental health becomes just another weapon
- Legal loopholes, system failures, and why the restraining order isn’t always enough
- Action steps: how to protect yourself, how to build your support network
- Reporting over and over… and still not being heard — the heartbreak of ignored warnings
- Bringing it all home: concrete steps every woman can take right now
- Micah’s last message. Why sharing and speaking out is the only way to create lasting change

Ever wondered if you could be sleeping next to a psychopath... and not even know it? In this episode, I sit down with Paul Holes, (yes,THAT Paul Holes) the detective who cracked the Golden State Killer case. We dig into the scariest headlines lighting up the news right now: Hidden killers, the chilling Gabby Petito case, and how the seemingly "sweetest guy" could be hiding monstrous secrets. This one is heavy, raw, and so necessary for every woman who has ever questioned her gut, worried about control in her relationship, or just sensed something off but couldn’t put her finger on it.
Paul brings his decades of investigative expertise, dissecting red flags most of us miss. We break down Gabby Petito’s tragic story step-by-step, what domestic violence looks like in real life (NOT just in textbooks!), and why even women’s closest friends or the cops sometimes get manipulated. Plus, I’m joined by Nicole Schmidt, Gabby’s unbelievably strong mom, who shares what she wishes she saw sooner… and what every woman, mother, and friend needs to hear.
SHOWNOTES
- Can you really be married to a psychopath and not know it?
- How predators “pass” as normal & the Wild Bill Huff story
- Gabby Petito case: setting the timeline and heartbreak
- Evidence of emotional abuse — the “I’m sorry, it’s my OCD” pattern
- The mistakes police made and what should’ve happened
- Police protocols in domestic abuse: who gets arrested, who gets believed
- How women can get help in domestic violence stops
- Stat: 51% of women don’t even know they’re being controlled
- Nicole Schmidt (Gabby’s mom) joins: how manipulation fooled everyone
- The first red flags she missed: Gabby’s “I’m fine” mask, and the secret signals you need to look for
- How criminality can run in families (and why you need to look at the family dynamic!)
- Rex Heuermann (Gilgo Beach Killer): predator hiding in plain sight, luring victims online
- Why “it couldn’t happen to me” is the most dangerous mindset

"Be UN-F*ck-Withable" 9 Nice Girl Habits Manipulative Men Take Advantage Of (Until Now!)

You know that feeling when you pour all your love and energy into someone… only to find yourself depleted, second-guessing, and begging for scraps? Homie, this is your episode. If you’re tired of being told you’re “too much,” exhausted by toxic loyalty, or want to become impossible to manipulate…hit play.
In this conversation, I sit down with Margarita Nazarenko, author of “Unbothered,” advocate for radical self-worth, and the internet’s toughest love coach, for the raw, sometimes uncomfortable truth about why women outsource their value, fall for emotional breadcrumbers, and confuse drama with connection.
Not only does Margarita break down the cycle of anxious and avoidant attachment (yes, she’ll tell you exactly which one you are), but she gives you real scripts, tactical moves, and mindset shifts to finally put your power back in your own hands. No empty affirmations, just the blueprint for creating unbreakable confidence and peaceful, drama-free relationships.
Here’s exactly what we dive into:
- The “unbothered” mindset: How to validate yourself without toxic independence
- Scripts and pause tactics for breaking codependent patterns (text and real life!)
- How to trust “boring” love after chaos addiction (and why calm is actually chemistry)
- Negotiating power dynamics, resentment, and real partnership, without losing yourself

If you've ever been controlled by someone mentally or emotionally, then you know how crushing it is to your confidence, your self-esteem, and your belief in yourself.
You question HOW this person convinced you to do or say or believe things that you KNOW deep down to your core are not true? WHAT did they do to get you to fall for the lies and change so much, without you even frikin’ realizing it? And HOW can you make sure it doesn’t happen to you again??
Well homie, the reality is that this type of manipulation happens more often than you might think, 1 on 1 in toxic relationships and sometimes even whole groups of people at a time in a cult.
So in this episode of Women of Impact, I wanted to get to the bottom of how good, well-intentioned, educated, “normal” people like you and me can fall into the trap of a controlling person like a cult leader or narcissistic romantic partner, and literally leave behind their life, family, job, money, friends, belief system, sanity, and everything about themselves for this person.
And whether it’s coz of a cult, a toxic partner, or a guy at work that keeps trying to convince you to join this “amazing self-help group”, if you think it “won’t happen to you” – well homie you’re actually that much more likely to become their next target and victim!!!!
And that’s why today’s guest is none other than the ultimate cult expert and deprogrammer, Rick Alan Ross. This guy is an aboslute LEGEND when it comes to cults!!
We go deep into:
- - the type of people who start cults.
- - how cults like NXIVM and Scientology bring people in.
- - what specifically makes a person more vulnerable to saying yes and “drinking the Kool-aid”.
- - strategies used by notorious cult leaders to gain control and brainwash people (and you’ll be surprised by what they have in common with your toxic ex!!!).
- - HOW you can actually avoid getting into a cult or toxic relationship in the first place.
- - & so much more!!!
This episode is truly FILLED with the knowledge you NEED if you want to have any hope of spotting the cult leaders, con men, and toxic boyfriends BEFORE they can rope you, or anyone you love, into their manipulative world and cut you off from the life YOU want to live!!!

The Lindsay Clancy case is one of the most gut-wrenching tragedies making headlines, and has torn the public opinion, (and even relationships) apart. Was it unspeakable heartbreak? Psychosis? Or criminal intent, plain and simple? Today, I’m joined by forensic psychologist Dr. Shannon Curry, the woman who bravely took the stand in the Depp-Heard trial, to unravel the real-life consequences every woman needs to think about. Not just for herself, but for every mother, wife, and daughter who might need help before it’s too late.
We break down the psychology, the law, and those impossible “what would I do?” dilemmas that are dividing men, women, and the world.
Here’s exactly what we dive into:
- The difference between baby blues, postpartum depression, and postpartum psychosis (and why most mothers never, ever hurt their children)
- The systems failures that are failing mothers, and what HAS to change
- Why women often hide dark thoughts, and why “blaming the husband” misses the real point
- The crucial first step to get help, without fear, shame, or losing your kids
