  • lovelustfear | presents | Morbidology
    Oct 7 2024
    Introducing: Morbidology – a true crime podcast created and hosted by Emily G. Thompson, author of “Unsolved Child Murders,” “Cults Uncovered” and co-author of “Unsolved Murders: True Crime Cases Uncovered.” Morbidology was voted ‘Best International Podcast’ at the iHeartRadio Podcast Awards. Join Emily as she covers a new true crime case – solved and unsolved – released weekly. You can listen to Morbidology across all podcast platforms.
    I’m going to play a preview of episode 277 on the murder of Lise Fredette, a 74-year-old woman who failed to show up for her shift in Walmart in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. Her daughter drove over to her home, and when she pulled up outside, she observed her car parked in the driveway. She headed up the drive but was stopped in her tracks by a large pool of blood on the ground. An investigation into her whereabouts got underway, and suspicion immediately fell upon an ex-boyfriend who had refused to accept that the relationship was over.

  • lovelustfridays | Toxicity, Trauma, and Trust | Surviving Domestic Violence and Focusing on Victim-Centric Stories
    Oct 6 2024
    Host Jake Deptula and former family court judge and family law attorney Michele Locke sit down with Terra Newell, a victim advocate, public figure, and survivor of multiple toxic relationships. They explore the complexities of toxic relationships and the expectations placed on survivors who become public figures. They also confront misconceptions stemming from media portrayals that often oversimplify these experiences, particularly beyond the sensational headlines of “Dirty John.” Additionally, they discuss the responsibilities of true crime content creators, focusing on the glorification of serial killer culture and the ethical considerations that come with storytelling. Also, how advocating for a victim-centered approach is essential for fostering safe spaces for survivors and recognizing that each individual's journey through trauma is uniquely their own. topics | terra newell, domestic violence, toxic relationships, true crime, survivor stories, ethics in media, accountability, red flags, healing, victim support, dirty john, survival, podcasting, serial killer culture, responsibility, survivor, domestic violence awareness month Terra Newell - Episode Link "I Want You To Always Be Available To Me” https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lovelustfear-terra-i-want-you-to-always-be-available-to-me/id1735876283?i=1000663173031 https://open.spotify.com/episode/2H7GJVeaVXV3cLvCsBTuC7?si=TlkZexWPT5WsIVcbm4I5Nw links Terra Newell https://www.terranewellsurvival.com I'll Take The Stairs Merch 25% of Sale Proceeds go to Season of Justice! https://www.terranewellsurvival.com/shop/page/2/ Book a 1 on 1 call!
