  • Jane Boroski Is The Only Pregnant Woman Who Survived Being Stabbed 27 Times by a Serial Killer Episode 153

    What if when you were seven months pregnant you were stabbed 27 times by a serial killer and left for dead?

    Invisible Tears Podcast host, Jane Boroski, was twenty-two years old and drinking a soda in her car when she was attacked by a man who pulled up next to her in a Jeep Cherokee.

    So what would you do if you survived, but the man who tried to murder you was still at large? Would you try to forget what happened and go on with your life? Or would you start a podcast dedicated to telling the stories of other cold-case victims?

  • Steve Keller Is The Only One Who Was Captured by Interpol and Extradited Back to the US Episode 152

    What if the company you’d built owned 65 percent of the market share, and you were forced out of business when your competitors teamed up with the US government to take out your industry?

    Consultant and writer, Steve Keller was convicted of mail fraud and was looking at spending fourteen years in prison. Fourteen years away from his wife and children, ages two and five.

    But what would you do if you could keep your family together, but it meant that you would all have to flee the country? Would you decide it was better to surrender yourself to the authorities? Or would you pack three hundred thousand dollars in your kid's diapers and toys and get them all on a plane to Mexico?

  • SUNDAY EDITION: Katie Krimitsos Is The Only Mompreneur In The Room

    Lucky us! We were able to nab a second interview with the always-inspiring, queen of meditation podcasts for women, Katie Krimitsos.  

    Family, love, and following dreams…these are the things that matter most to Katie Krimitsos. And it shows up in just about everything she does. The way she raises her two girls, the way she grows with her husband, the way she belly laughs with her girlfriends, and the words she writes in her guided meditations. Through her work with the Women’s Meditation Network, she’s created a way to get little digital messages of love out into the world at a time when it can feel really dark. All of her 9 podcasts under the network have the honor of supporting millions of women around the world. She’s had a lot of experience following her intuition and believes that, even in the most painful moments, she’s always becoming a better version of herself.

  • Shawna Kay Rodenberg Is The Only Writer in the Room Speaking Up For The Misrepresented People of Kentucky Episode 151

    As a child, she played in the hills of Kentucky, where her ancestors had lived for three hundred years.

    In 2017, author, and nurse, Shawna Kay Rodenberg, wrote an article about Eastern Kentucky that caught the attention of a CBS news anchor, who was eager to do a piece on Shawna against the backdrop of Trump signage and “signs of blight.”

    So what would you do if you were sick and tired of the media misrepresenting both the people and the place you called home? Would you stay quiet and allow the stereotypes to continue? Or would you author a memoir, called Kin, and tell a more complete story about the Appalachian people?

  • Collier Landry Is The Only One Who Put His Father In Prison For Murdering His Mother - TEAM FAVORITE

    Imagine if as an eleven-year-old, you were woken up by the sounds of your father murdering your mother?

    Filmmaker and podcaster, Collier Landry testified on the witness stand against his father at age 12, and it was his testimony that helped put his father in prison for life. But later on as an adult, he found that he still wanted closure.

    But what would you do if you’d confronted your father in prison in the hopes that he would tell you why he did it, but found that he was incapable of telling the truth? Would you verbally attack him in a fit of justified rage? Or would you hug him and tell him you loved him before saying goodbye.
