   Unreal | Aliens, Arson & Toddler Milestones

   This week we're diving into two bizarre headlines that sound too ridiculous to be true—a Labrador that accidentally fired a shotgun and injured a woman at a traffic light, and resurfaced claims involving the CIA, DNA databases, and potential extraterrestrial connections. Then we head to Las Vegas for a deep dive into Hulu's Mean Girl Murders: Built for Murder, exploring the shocking case involving fitness stars Kelly Ryan and Craig Titus, whose obsession with success and status spiraled into one of the fitness industry's most notorious murder cases. Finally, in this week's Mom Moment, I share an update on Maddox's ongoing teething journey, his latest cold, a huge milestone involving the word "please," and some reflections on navigating a stressful week with a surprisingly optimistic mindset.Takeaways 🦮 Sometimes the weirdest news stories are completely real. 👽 The internet's favorite hobby is turning unanswered questions into alien theories. 🏆 Obsession with winning can become dangerous when it overtakes everything else. 💔 The Mean Girl Murders case is a reminder that ego, jealousy, and poor choices can have devastating consequences. 🦷 Teething apparently lasts approximately 47 years. 🤧 The moment one parenting challenge improves, another one shows up. 🎉 Never underestimate how exciting a single new word can be when you're raising a toddler. 🧠 Not every inconvenience deserves permanent residency in your thoughts. ☀️ A positive mindset doesn't mean life is perfect—it means you're learning what deserves your energy. ❤️ Small victories are still victories.

   The Crash | Treasure, Terror & Teething

   This week’s episode is a full emotional rollercoaster. We start off with some internet chaos including a Norwegian hiker uncovering a rare 1,500-year-old gold relic hidden beneath a tree and a heartbreaking new development in the Kristin Smart case nearly three decades after her disappearance. Then we dive into Netflix’s The Crash, breaking down the tragic deaths of Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan and the disturbing evidence surrounding Mackenzie Shirilla’s murder conviction. We compare Netflix’s portrayal to Hulu’s more brutal and revealing version of the case and unpack why this documentary left so many viewers angry and heartbroken. Finally, in this week’s Mom Moment, we discuss surviving toddler canine teething, the chaos of raising a tiny human whose favorite new word is “EW,” and the bittersweet beauty of watching a child grow, learn, talk, color, and change right before your eyes. TAKEAWAYS ✨ 🗡️ Some people find ancient treasure while hiking. I find dehydration and anxiety. 🚗 The Crash documentary is devastating, but the Hulu version exposes far more about the toxic relationship dynamics and disturbing evidence. 💔 Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan deserved so much more life than they were given. 🧠 Toddlers absorb EVERYTHING — narrating daily life really can help language development. 🦷 Canine teething deserves prison time. 🎨 Watching your child learn colors, counting, and creativity in real time is one of the coolest parts of motherhood. 🙃 Toddlers will judge your cooking despite willingly eating lint off the floor last week.

   That's Wild | Beavers, Balloons & The Deadpool Killer

   This week’s episode is absolute chaos from start to finish. We kick things off with a bizarre $45,000 Pokémon and Magic card theft that proves collectible cards are apparently worth risking prison over. Then we head to New Jersey where an aggressive rabid beaver attacks an eight-year-old boy near a lake, because nature officially has anger issues. For the main segment, we deep dive into Netflix’s Worst Ex Ever: The Deadpool Killer, breaking down the horrifying and infuriating story of Wade Wilson, the manipulation tactics he used on multiple victims, and the systemic failures that allowed his violence to escalate. Finally, in this week’s mom moment, I share a very real parenting meltdown involving balloons, a toddler tantrum of historic proportions, and an emotional moment navigating public life as a bald woman living with alopecia. This episode balances dark humor, real emotion, internet absurdity, and honest reflection — basically the perfect recipe for modern survival. 🎙️ EPISODE TAKEAWAYS 🚸 Toddlers are tiny emotionally unstable fugitives with no regard for traffic laws. 💰 Pokémon cards are apparently worth more than some people’s retirement funds. 🚩 If a man has multiple aliases and steals puppies… run. 🎭 Manipulative people often rely on charm before control. 🗣️ Women deserve to be believed the FIRST time they report abuse. 💇♀️ Hair does not define femininity, strength, or identity. 🍎 Sometimes the best parenting strategy is surviving the tantrum and offering a snack afterward. 🦫 Never underestimate wildlife. Especially beavers. 😂❤️ Humor can coexist with heavy conversations. 🌪️✨ Life is chaotic, awkward, heartbreaking, funny, and beautiful all at once.
