    The Dichotomy Diaries Podcast

    When host Amanda meets Dick—a seemingly charming Mormon man from Las Vegas who pursued her relentlessly on social media—she had no idea the chaos that was about to unfold. What began as a whirlwind romance quickly unraveled into something far more disturbing.

    Season One of The Dichotomy Diaries pulls back the curtain on the man behind the mask. What appears to be a devoted husband and religious man is, in truth, a compulsive liar entangled in financial domination, secret escorting for men, and a web of manipulation that left a trail of broken women. This season follows Amanda and six other unsuspecting women, all connected by the same predator, as they share their raw, unfiltered stories of betrayal, coercive control, and the strength it took to survive him.

    New victims of Dick continue to surface regularly. On average, The Dichotomy Diaries has helped at least one woman per month recognize the red flags, escape the manipulation, and avoid becoming the next chapter in this chilling story.

    But the story doesn’t stop there. Each subsequent season of The Dichotomy Diaries centers around a new brave individual who chose to speak their truth—shedding light on toxic relationships, the psychology of abuse, and what it really means to reclaim your voice.

    These aren’t just stories. They’re a warning, a mirror, and a testament to the power of truth. Because sometimes, real life is darker—and more unbelievable—than fiction.

    Joanna bravely shares her profound sense of entrapment and manipulation in the relationship, detailing the emotional and physical abuse she endured. She recounts harrowing experiences, including a violent incident where Dick attempted to suffocate her.

    Amidst the darkness, Joanna opens up about her journey to healing and the pivotal role therapy played in her recovery process.

    JOANNA - Houston, We Have a Squatter: Part 1 Apr 16, 2024
    Show notes

    Dear Diary & Listeners,

    In this compelling episode, Amanda sits down with Joanna to delve into her personal journey with a former partner who, coincidentally, they both know.

    Joanna candidly shares the story of their meeting, the subtle early signs of manipulation she noticed, and the profound impact it had on her life.

    Both Amanda and Joanna hope that by sharing this story, it will provide solace to others and illuminate the realities of narcissistic abuse. They explore the characteristics of women often targeted by narcissists and the manipulative tactics they employ.

    From the outset, Joanna's father had reservations about Dick. Yet, Dick managed to maintain a convincing facade, impressing Joanna's family to some extent.

    As circumstances would have it, Joanna found herself becoming roommates with Dick, eventually leading to an "exclusive" relationship...or so she thought.

    The relationship seemed picture-perfect on social media, providing Joanna with a sense of security. However, this facade crumbled when she began receiving messages about Dick's inappropriate behavior.

    Joanna soon recognized that Dick had used his Mormon faith as yet another tool for manipulation.

    In addition to this, Joanna discovered some of Dick's unconventional side hustles, one of which even surprised Amanda.

    Much like Amanda, Joanna found herself trapped in a trauma bond with Dick, experiencing lies, abandonment, verbal abuse, and coercion firsthand.

    Total Eclipse of the Heart Apr 09, 2024
    Show notes

    Dear Diary & Listeners,

    Today's solar eclipse reminds us of the beauty that can be found in life's uncertainties, prompting a brief ONE WEEK hiatus for The Dichotomy Diaries.

    (I KNOWWWWWWW)

    I'm grappling with personal challenges, including family matters and financial stress to the MAX.

    I feel guilty for deviating from our schedule, trust me.

    However, quality remains paramount as we anticipate new global listeners via a very exciting opportunity.

    During this brief break, I'll address these challenges and return with content that exceeds expectations.

    On a brighter note, our first interviewee, Joanna, will be introduced via social media before her episode goes live with Part One on April 16th and Part Two on April 23rd.

    Your patience and support are appreciated as we navigate life's curveballs.

    Thank you for understanding.

    Forever Speaking My Truth,

    First up, we have Kyle. A wonderfully warm and chatty gentleman from Phoenix, AZ who saw through Dick's facade faster than most; but played along- because the P L O T was just too juicy.

    Please don't forget to rate, review, share, and comment. Your interactions get The Dichotomy Diaries noticed. Thank you for your continued support as always.

    Beyond The Rainbow Mar 05, 2024
    Show notes

    Dear Diary & Listeners,

    We made it! We survived.

    VIDEO RECORDINGS OF EPISODES ARE HERE!

    Even though at times it may have seemed impossible, we are both stronger than we thought.

    This episode is the last episode in MY part of this story.

    And while I am going to miss sharing my experiences with you weekly, I feel this indescribable weight lifted off my shoulders that it is all FINALLY OVER..

    The next part of The Dichotomy Diaries Season One has one main focus…

    To help others share their truth, finally experience closure, and help countless others.

    Many times while recording this episode, I caught myself smiling. Stupidly proud of what I have created. Stupidly proud of my own personal growth and accelerated healing.

    But most importantly, stupidly proud that the woman I have become- is someone little 7 year old, ruby slipper wearing Amanda would be proud to become.

    While sometimes I feel down when reflecting on the path my life has taken; the pride I feel directly relating to my resilience supersedes all of it.

    In Episode 20, you will hear how my story ends. You will hear exactly how I uncovered all the other women Dick swindled in almost the exact same way. You will learn who’s interview comes first, as well as who to expect in the upcoming episodes.

    There’s No Place Like Home. Especially when you build home within yourself.

    Be on the lookout for opportunities to interact with the upcoming guests on Instagram.

    Thank you all for your support and hanging in there during this difficult and trying story that was my life. I will be forever grateful and humbled by this extraordinary experience.

    Forever Speaking My Truth,

    Amanda Arnier, MLS

    Dear Diary & Listeners,

    Welcome to the second to LAST episode in MY part of this tragic story.

    We've been on a wild ride together.

    But you know what...?

    There's no one else I would have rather taken this trip with.

    Episode 19 really needs no introduction, but I might as well give you a taste...

    This is the episode where you find out how my marriage really ended.

    Yep. This is the one.

    I won't keep you waiting.

    Just please, don't forget.

    One day, you wake up...and it just doesn't hurt anymore.

    I promise.

    With Liberty & Justice for All Feb 20, 2024
    Show notes

    Dear Diary & Listeners,

    While I had hoped the justice system would come through, it fell short, leaving me disappointed.

    Did I get the justice I deserved?

    Not at all.

    My experiences were dismissed, making them seem like lies.

    But does it matter in the grand scheme of things?

    Also -Nope.

    Why?

    Because even if the court didn't see it, I know the truth, and now - so do you.

    That feels like a win to me.

    In Episode 18, I'll give you a quick rundown of my messy divorce court saga and share how I celebrated my birthday. Then, get ready for more drama as I spill the beans on the treachery leading up to my first wedding anniversary.

    Buckle up—it's gonna be a wild ride!

    Creampie Confessions Feb 06, 2024
    Show notes

    Dear Diary & Listeners,

    Stress has taught me a lot this year.

    I have learned that stress can be both debilitating AND motivating.

    I have learned that no one cares what is going on in your life; they expect you to keep it moving as usual- no matter the price.

    I have learned that while devastatingly debilitating at times; stress can sometimes be invisible to anyone other than yourself.

    So what do we do with this information?

    Well- we learn of course.

    We learn how to manage our stress levels.

    We learn new tools to soften the blow it has on our activities of daily life.

    But we also learn that stress relief is NO ONES job, but our own.

    Episode 17 is ALL THE THINGS.

    You're going to hear the raunchy, the sad, the shocking, and of course- the heartbreaking...

    So sit tight.

    OH- and if you're not fully prepared to hear some insanely gross sexual content...I would advise you to skip this episode.

    Shit's NASTYYYYYY up in here.
