    59 - Emotionally Unavailable Fathers w/ Lucy Turchin Apr 27, 2022
    Show notes

    We are joined today by former classmate Lucy Turchin for a super RAW and VULNERABLE conversation. Lucy is a singer, songwriter, recovering addict, and former sex worker. Lucy shares about her dysfunctional upbringing, her struggles with body image as a child, being sex trafficked at the age of 15 (TRIGGER WARNING), and the deep fear of abandonment that resulted from having a physically and emotionally unavailable father. We also reminisce about the "good old days" at a cult-like "character building" boarding school.

    58 - ACA Step 4 - Why Our Past is Our Greatest Asset Apr 20, 2022
    Show notes

    In today's episode, Andrea dives deep into Step 4 of the ACA program - "Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves." We discuss (and by we, I mean ME!) the purpose, the process, the key areas of focus (shame, abandonment, resentment, harm, and trauma) and what it means to take a blameless inventory. We also discuss how an ACA 4th step differs from a 4th step in AA/NA, as well as the limitations of the 12-steps in addressing unprocessed trauma.

    57 - The Making of a Cybercriminal w/ Brett Johnson Apr 13, 2022
    Show notes

    Brett Johnson is a reformed cybercriminal who built the first organized cybercrime community - Shadowcrew - the precursor to today's Darknet Markets - and laid the foundation for the way modern cybercrime channels still operate today. In 2004, he was placed on the United States Most Wanted List , arrested in 2005, convicted of 39 felonies, and sentenced to 7 1/2 years in federal prison. Brett shares about his childhood trauma, his fear of abandonment, his experience in federal prison, and how he turned his life around after 30+ year criminal career. Today he uses knowledge and experience concerning cybersecurity, cybercrime, identity theft, and fraud to help individuals and companies protect themselves from the type of criminal he used to be.
