   43: Are Women Monsters, or Are We Driving Them Crazy? | Women's Rage & True Crime

   Are Women Monsters, or Are We Driving Them Crazy? | Unicorns Do Exist S2E2 🦄 Apparently, women are supposed to be quiet, polite, agreeable, and emotionally regulated while the world tests every last nerve we have. And when we finally snap? Suddenly, we're the monsters. Cute. 🙃 This week on Unicorns Do Exist, we're diving into the stories of Lizzie Borden, Aileen Wuornos, and Lindsay Clancy, connecting true crime, women's anger, mental health, and a system that too often fails to listen until it's too late. We also revisit the disturbing questions surrounding the Cornell University sexual assault case and what accountability really means when people with the power to act choose not to. As a sexual assault survivor who reported what happened to her and still didn't get the justice she hoped for, this conversation is personal. I know what it feels like to speak up and wonder whether anyone is actually listening. Let's be clear: understanding someone's pain doesn't mean excusing violence. Revenge isn't healing, and becoming a monster isn't empowerment. But what happens when women ask for help, raise their voices, and keep getting dismissed until their stories become headlines? We're talking about rage, responsibility, motherhood, mental health, boundaries, financial independence, and why women should never have to choose between suffering in silence and being labeled crazy. Because apparently, a woman can survive hell, set one boundary, and suddenly she's the villain. Make it make sense. It's time to stop asking, "Why are women so angry?" and start asking, "What happened that made them this angry?" 🦄 Your anger isn't automatically a character flaw. Sometimes, it's information. Listen to it, learn from it, and turn it into something that changes your life. Watch Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story on Netflix and Furious on Hulu, then come back and tell me what you think. Are women born monsters, or are they pushed to their breaking point? Let's talk. Because unicorns do exist… but you have to be brave enough to create the magic. 🎙️ Listen, share, and join the conversation: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unicornsdoexistpod (https://www.instagram.com/unicornsdoexistpod) 📩 unicornsdoexistpodcast@gmail.com (mailto:unicornsdoexistpodcast@gmail.com) Content note: This episode discusses sexual assault, violence against women, murder, postpartum mental health, and failures of accountability.

   42: Sexual Assault, Rape Culture & the Cost of Staying Silent

   Season 2 is officially here… and we're starting with a conversation we cannot afford to stay quiet about. 🦄 In the Season 2 premiere of Unicorns Do Exist, Vanessa talks about the Cornell University sexual assault case, rape culture, consent, and the devastating consequences of silence. But this isn't just about what happened at Cornell. It's personal. Vanessa opens up about surviving her own sexual assault, reporting it, having a rape kit done, and years later being forced to relive the trauma—only to experience another kind of betrayal when the system failed to pursue justice. This episode asks the uncomfortable question: What happens when you see something wrong and choose to do nothing? Because silence isn't neutral. And being a good person isn't just about what you would never do—it's about what you allow others to do. This is an episode about sexual assault, survivor advocacy, accountability, consent, trauma, healing, and speaking up when it would be easier to stay quiet. And this season, we're going deeper. Because unicorns do exist. But you have to be brave enough to create that magic. 🦄 ⚠️ Content warning: This episode contains discussions of sexual assault, rape, trauma, PTSD, and survivor experiences.

   41: Starting Over Isn’t Starting From Zero

   After taking a couple of weeks away from the podcast, Vanessa returns to *Unicorns Do Exist* with a brutally honest conversation about anxiety, uncertainty, healing, motherhood, dating, and starting over. Her anxiety has been loud lately. Her brain and body aren't exactly on speaking terms, and she's realizing that sometimes the answer isn't to manifest harder, push through, or pretend everything is fine. Sometimes the answer is to slow down, go back to the basics, journal, move your body, rest, and yes… go back to therapy. But that's only part of the story. While trying to get her mental health back on track, Vanessa is also navigating a relationship she never expected to want. What started as something casual became emotional, complicated, intimate—and suddenly she's asking herself some uncomfortable questions: **Am I actually seeing reasons this won't work, or
