2 Monicas & a Microphone

If you haven't seen the documentary on Hulu, it's a must see for true crime lovers. This story touches a nerve close to us as Monica lived and worked where Morgan was abducted. We try not to spoil it for you, but want to give context and life to the family and people who lived there at the time.

As a parent you've probably experienced the judging eyes of others at the playground, in the grocery store and while out to dinner. It makes you feel terrible. So why do we do it? In today's episode we explore how to turn our tendency to judge into compassion and empathy for other parents. Parenting is hard enough, then add the complexity of making your kids "well rounded". Whatever. Fortunately, we have Kristin Schmoke Parenting Coach here to help.

We don't hear as much about ladies when it comes to serial murder crimes. In the battle of the sexes, the men are taking the cake on this one. However, there is a method of murder that women tend to gravitate towards more than men. POISON! In today's episode, you'll discover that women poisoners generally kill their family members for money (one said it was for "love") while others are just purely evil and will attack the most vulnerable in the population solely for money.
