In this short episode, I explain what's going on with me as well as the podcast. I've had some roadblocks and some issues with confidence in my own editing abilities to make sure this story is told properly. I also have a couple corrections from episode one.
I hope to do better going forward and want to make a commitment to 1 new episode per week until Julia's story is told.

Tune into Season two coming this fall where I discuss the murder and aftermath of Julia Niswender. I speak directly with her mother, Kim, and twin sister, Jennifer. Come with me as I explore how Julia's death was handled by her family, the media, the police, and the public. Subscribe now to hear how this tragic story unfolds.
Dang I have some feminist ass things to SAY about these topics here. Listen to me hop up on a couple of soap boxes and talk about my disgust for men that think they are God's gift to women *eyeroll*. We will also discuss some misconstrued ideas about the correlation between BDSM and Sexual Sadism. Lastly, I tell a story about the nun Sister Margaret Ann Pahl who was murdered at a church in Ohio. It wouldn't be a Squat, Drop, & Roll episode without something connecting this to me (6 degrees of Kevin Bacon), so OF COURSE my great aunt Dorothy was the housekeeper of one of the suspects. Let's chat.

This one is HEAVY. I discuss the difference that getting a coach makes not only for fitness and nutrition, but really for your whole life! It seriously changed mine. Then we dive into a darker arena and discuss the PTSD I suffer(ed) from after being robbed at gun point and taken into an abandoned house when I was 19. This shit's crazy. How is this my life?

Let's talk gym intimidation AKA the top reason why females are not getting enough exercise. This can stem from multiple factors such as not knowing how to use equipment, fear of other's judgement, or being hit on. Next, we transition into Narcissistic Personality Disorder, specifically narcissistic parents- ouch. Lastly, I continue on with the INSANE story of the serial killer, John Norman Collins, whom terrorized my hometown. Oh- and I'm also apparently distantly related to him by marriage (my mom as 12 siblings so don't ask me how).

BROOOOO we go DEEP in this one. I'm calling everyone out (myself included) on our need for instant gratification and lack of acceptance. Then we stray into the obsessive disorder called Body Dysmorphia. Spoiler alert: Not everyone with bad body image is struggling with BDD. Lastly, I will start a part 1 of 2 on the Ypsilanti Ripper!! HE IS WILD, Y'ALL, AND APPARENTLY RELATED TO ME. He also murdered women in the 60s in my college town. OH- and did I mention that I have ghost stories about his victims. Yeah. This episode be crazy.

THIS EPISODE IS WILD!! Come along for the ride with me while I weave fitness, psychology, and true crime together. Let's start by chatting about the importance of stress management and it's role in weight loss.
Next, we venture onto this INSANE diagnosis called dissociative fugue. Think sleepwalking + amnesia + memory loss + unexpected vacation.... for up to MONTHS.
Lastly, we will meander through the real life mystery that is the disappearance of the University of Michigan PhD student, Xin Rong. I NEED ANSWERS. Oh and I also lose my Michigander card while trying to describe where locations are using a hand map *face palm*.
