  • Great insight!

    Such great perspective on the way divorces unfold. Am currently listening to the Jolie-Pitt divorce episode and it’s like a breath of fresh air.

    For some reason, I have ALWAYS side-eyed how that divorce happened; I sensed parental alienation.

    Those kids have lost a father - it’s massive. No dad at their wedding, no dad when they have kids.

    Yes, there was physical violence on the plane - it’s bad - but I’m involved in the foster care system and know kids who have relationships with dads who... more

  • suggestion?

    Hi, I heard you as a guest on Juicy Scoop with Heather McDonald. I loved your episode and came here and promptly listened to 4 episodes in a row. Love it!! You asked about suggestions for future shows. How about the reasoning why high net worth couples do not get divorced but are clearly living separate lives. Why do they do this? Kyle and Mauricio from RHOBH for example. Is it actually more expensive to try to split the finances? Thanks for the show.

Nichole Schmidt on Gabby Petito’s Legacy: Domestic Violence Awareness, Coercive Control & A Mother's Mission To Save Lives
Q: How did the lethality assessment law come about?
Schmidt says Utah passed the first law, followed by Florida and New York. She describes the foundation's advocacy and says implementation still needs stronger training and better access to services and shelter resources.
Nichole Schmidt on Gabby Petito’s Legacy: Domestic Violence Awareness, Coercive Control & A Mother's Mission To Save Lives
Q: What insight did you gain into what abuse Gabby actually did suffer at his hands?
Schmidt says she learned from Gabby's friend Rose that Brian strangled Gabby, and that coercive control, isolation, manipulation and gaslighting were also present. She believes repeated strangulation may have caused physical effects, though she cannot know the extent.
After the Mansion: Crystal Harris on Coercive Control, Trauma & Finding Freedom after Playboy
Q: Now, the problem that I see is that when you admit to yourself that you've had this trauma, then there's a tremendous amount of guilt and blame that goes along with it because it's, and it goes back to when you use the I word, right?
Harris says it took a long time to recognize herself as a trauma survivor, and that bullying makes it harder to acknowledge what she experienced. Locke distinguishes past victimization from surviving and moving forward.
After the Mansion: Crystal Harris on Coercive Control, Trauma & Finding Freedom after Playboy
Q: So when did you decide to do your podcast? And tell us about your podcast. And actually, because I think that's I know why I started mine. So what's your origin story for yours?
Harris says she wants to tell her story from her own point of view and create a platform where other people connected to the mansion can share their experiences, including both positive and painful stories.
Domestic Violence and Coercive Control: Recognizing the Warning Signs and Breaking the Cycle with Bill Mitchell
Q: How can we help them see? How can we help them take the rose-colored glasses off?
Locke suggests asking what they would want for their child in a similar relationship, while both speakers advise listening without judgment and offering support rather than pressuring them to leave.
