Casefiles Unbound

Welcome to a Halloween-season deep dive into the paranormal, trauma, and the mysterious places where the two meet.In this episode, we explore why so many trauma survivors experience the supernatural, from shadow beings and sleep-paralysis visitors to ancestral spirits popping up through Instagram algorithms (yes, really).We talk haunted houses, psychic boundaries, creepy childhood homes, migraine-induced shadow figures, and why trauma might make some of us more energetically “tuned in” than

Today’s episode of Extra Strength Autism is a ride. Sarah and I started out laughing about RFK Jr.’s latest “circumcision + Tylenol = autism” conspiracy, and ended up talking about what it actually means to live inside a neurodivergent body.This one moves fast, from absurd politics to the real-life exhaustion of masking, sensory overload, and trying to survive in a world that keeps telling us we’re broken.We talk about trauma, C-PTSD, the overlap between PTSD and autism, and how compassion, not

Hi, hello…When we launched Casefiles Unbound: The Trad Wife, our plan looked great on paper: long-form storytelling, recorded in advance, a careful arc through my personal story. What we didn’t fully account for was the cost: the toll of re-opening old wounds every single week while balancing chronic illness, parenting, and running a business.Reliving my trauma on a schedule quickly became unsustainable.

From whispered interviews about sexual purity to rituals involving nudity, oaths, and eternal covenants, the temple isn't just a building—it's a system of spiritual control. One that tells you whether you're worthy of eternity… or not.For women raised in high-demand religions like Mormonism, silence is often the

There’s a phrase that gets repeated often in Mormon culture: “Endure to the end.”But what happens when endurance becomes the only thing you're allowed to do? When suffering isn’t just expected, but revered?In this week’s episode of Casefiles Unbound, Sarah and I explore how the stories we were raised on, the pioneers pulling handcarts across frozen plains, the women who “suffered well,” the idea that obedience always meant pain, shaped how we learned to swallow our own.We talk about spiritual

There’s a part of me that still freezes when I speak the truth.A part that braces for the blowback, the backlash, the subtle punishments. She doesn’t want to be brave; she just doesn’t want to get in trouble.I woke up one morning gasping, panic racing through my chest. Absolutely terrified someone would be mad at me, or that I’d be punished for saying things I was never supposed to say.
