Special 2 part series: I shared Sam’s story in August of 2022. A mix of marriage, divorce, betrayal, domestic violence and military court with those closest to him on the outside sharing his story and being his voice and advocate. Now, two years later, I have the honor of sitting with Sam after his release from his guilty sentencing. 1 in 9 men within the military will be victim of domestic violence in their lifetime, and only 8% report. Part 1 we discuss the relationship (rise and fall), how the military approaches and lacks assistance for men in specific for domestic violence cases, and life after release.

A new take and view on step motherhood almost a year later! I sat down with @mindykylecoaching in 2023 to talk about the in’s and outs of being a stepmom. The moments we question ourselves, feeling excluded, how to fit in and more. But now we talk about the role and the emotions of a stepmom AFTER a split/divorce. Are you a stepmom? Do you keep in contact with the child? Does your bond matter? How involved should you be? Transitioning roles isn’t always easy, but love knows no bounds. Stepping into the role of a stepmom after a breakup can be challenging, but it’s also an opportunity to continue fostering love, support, and understanding. Embracing the journey of blended families takes courage, patience, and a whole lot of heart. Here’s to navigating new beginnings with grace and compassion.

(Little Bit of Life Podcast Monthly True Crime Series with guest Paige) April Case: The Monster Mother, Kristel Candelario

** TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains audio playback from court proceedings with descriptive detail regarding the death of a minor. This may be triggering to some listeners. Proceed with caution**

We sit and chat about the tragic murder of 16 month old Jailyn. Her frantic screams could be heard on the neighbors Ring camera, while her mother was hundreds of miles away on a 10 day vacation in Puerto Rico. Sentenced in March 2024 to life in prison without the possibility of parol, we hear harrowing court testimony from Ohio Medical Examiner, as well as the mothers own words during her court case. Where were the neighbors/community in this tragic loss of a child? What does the childs father think? And the biggest question in true crime.... WHY.

- Kristel Candelario obtained public audio from WKYC Channel 3 audio

- Judge Brendan Sheehan obtained public video TT

- Medical Examiner obtained public video TT

From Capital Hill to Facebook, life seemed perfect! But behind closed doors, the truth was far from picture-perfect. The journey from public appearance to private struggles is a reminder that appearances can deceive. Especially when we remind ourselves internally "this can't happen to someone like me". I sit with special guest Hannah Kay, owner of Thread Talk, to discuss starting over, breaking stigmas with domestic violence, and creating change through hardship and compassion.

In a world where silence can be suffocating, our voices have the power to break barriers and ignite change. I am so proud to have had the chance to sit down with a courageous man, Seth Gehle better known on socials as @gobeyondtheshadows in sharing his story of healing, resilience, and strength. Especially for April: the month of SA awareness and prevention. As male survivors, they often face unique challenges in finding their voices and seeking support. But by coming together, we can amplify their stories, dismantle stigmas, and pave the way for healing. To every man who has felt the weight of silence, know that your voice matters. Your story is valid, and your journey toward healing is worthy of recognition and support. Let’s continue to uplift each other, advocate for change, and show the world that healing knows no gender. Together, we are breaking barriers, reclaiming our voices, and paving the path to healing for all.
