#125 - The Cost of Disbelief (Dr. Aleksandra Treglown) Jun 18, 2025

Show notes

Dr. Aleksandra Treglown has spent years listening to children recount the worst moments of their lives—only to watch their truths be ignored. In this episode, she reveals how disbelief—by courts, by law enforcement, and by the public—is not just a barrier to justice, but a form of systemic violence against women and children. Through her research and frontline work, she exposes the devastating power of disbelief, and the urgent need to confront it.

#124 - Circling the Rabbit Hole (Stephanie Kemmerer) Jun 04, 2025

Show notes

Stephanie Kemmerer spent years spiraling through conspiracy theories—from 9/11 truthers to reptilian overlords—before a single, personal conversation snapped her back to reality. Her journey through the world of conspiracy theories reveals how trauma, alienation, and the search for meaning can lead us deep into illusion. In this conversation, she reflects on the allure of certainty, the cost of disconnection, and what it really takes to wake up from a comforting lie.
