Kouri Richins spent a year on a press tour talking about grief, but a Utah jury just called it murder. This episode goes inside the trial to look at the 'calculated' nature of the crime. Friend of the show and DV trainer Jeanette Barich joins us to discuss the profile of the female primary aggressor, looking at how financial desperation, gaslighting, and digital manipulation served as the precursors to Eric Richins’ death. We analyze the March 2026 verdict and Jeanette shares her professional perspective on how we can better identify and support male victims in high-conflict, female-led domestic abuse situations.

History isn't just about the past; it’s about the context of our present. This week, we highlight the pivotal advancements in women’s rights, including the Equal Pay Act and the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). However, we also lean into the 'sobering statistics' that persist in 2026: the enduring gender pay gap, the disproportionate rates of violence against women, and the decline in reproductive healthcare access. It’s a brief but necessary reality check on the status of equality today and a call to continue the advocacy of those who came before us.

On July 6, 2012, 16-year-old Skylar Neese snuck out of her bedroom window in Star City, West Virginia, to meet her two best friends, Shelia Eddy and Rachel Shoaf. She never returned. This episode explores the devastating betrayal that followed, as Shelia and Rachel helped Skylar’s parents search for her for months, all while knowing exactly where her body was hidden. We dive into the most disturbing aspect of the case: the motive. When finally asked why they killed the girl they had called their sister, the answer was a cold, six-word sentence that continues to shock the world
