Story
In 2022, Lisa Marie Presley asked her daughter to help finally finish her long-gestating memoir. A month later, Lisa Marie was dead, and the world would never know her story in her own words, never know the passionate, joyful, caring, and complicated woman that Riley loved and now grieved. Riley got the tapes that her mother had recorded for the book, lay in her bed, and listened as Lisa Marie told story after story about smashing golf carts together in the yards of Graceland, about the unconditional love she felt from her father, about being upstairs, just the two of them.

Story
Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot. Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet. Then the brutal murder of a young woman—the latest in a string of deaths across the coast—confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

Story
The plane is jam-packed. Every seat is taken. So of course the flight is delayed! Flight attendant Allegra Patel likes her job—she’s generally happy with her life, even if she can’t figure out why she hooks up with a man she barely speaks to—but today is her twenty-eighth birthday. She can think of plenty of things she’d rather be doing than placating a bunch of grumpy passengers.

Slow start but great revelations towards the end
I think I had higher expectations for what I works president be able to get from this session so I felt a little disappointed when the story started slow. Of course esther came through and provided lots of good insights in the end.

touching, incisive, insightful.
Esther has the ability to penetrate into the depths of things. She finds the heart of the matter and exposes it in a gentle, sensitive and thoughtful way. Hearing her help these two men opened my mind up to a lot of things going on with me and in my relationship with my girlfriend.
I am so grateful that Esther is out there helping people in this way, and sharing the insights and breakthroughs that she and the couple she works with are discovering.

Wonderful exploration of trauma
A Very informative and personal account of trauma in an accessible format. I love the way Esther speaks to her clients in this case study and invites them to go further into both their needs. I appreciate how the script uses audio ques to switch to Esther talking to the audience specifically to speak further to what the couple is talking about or the trauma specifics others listening may not understand right away. I will be eagerly awaiting a new chapter!

This is so good for trauma survivors!
My advice: focus on the similarities and not differences. This meant so much to me.

I'm here and your safe
Whether you are in a heterosexual, homosexual, or a transgender relationship, it doesn't matter. Listening to this episode does. I heard myself and my issues for the first time and what an eye opener this episode is. I recommend this for anyone in a relationship where one partner is all touch and feel, while the other is verbal and doesn't require the affection. This episode teaches you how to navigate relationships like this with the end result of all parties feeling fulfilled with a greater understanding of why the other person is the way they are. Excellent, Excellent, listen to this one more than once.
