I absolutely love how Celisia approaches telling these stories with so much respect and dignity for victims and their families. 1000% my favorite true crime pod!
I love the idea and execution of telling these stories in a ‘truer’ way. Such a great balance of heavy truths with engaging and interesting storytelling. Celisia’s authenticity and perspective embody the idea that being our truest selves is the best way to make a difference in the world.

Andrea: She had no prior issues. She adored her kids, etc
