HOLA! This week Koelle is tackling a DAK first, in terms of crime and diagnosis. Susan Smith had a more-than-difficult time in her childhood and teen years, and this would set the tone for her adult life as well. Join us as Koelle talks through the timeline of Susan's life, and the horrific crime she would ultimately commit.

WE FEEL SO LOVED! Thank you all so much for all of the kind words and messages. It feels really amazing to know that we are making a positive impact!

In today's mental breakdown, Koelle takes us through the DSM-5 with what to expect, where to find specifics, and all the goodies that are inside. Also included in this episode: a deeper dive into our honest thoughts surrounding mental illness and awareness, and a fun fact about a previous mental breakdown!

CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains descriptions of sexual abuse of children, as well as a very raw, unedited 911 call depicting persons in distress and graphic content.

Lyle and Erik Menendez were two brothers that grew up in the spotlight of their parents, seemingly with everything they could ever want for included. The boys were raised like royalty on the outside, but their disturbing behavior throughout their childhood and teen years suggested that there may be something sinister behind the scenes of this "perfect", all-American family. Join us as Koelle details their lives, the family downfall, and the heinous crime the two would ultimately commit.
