Till I Say It Out Loud

Main Ep 11: Alison Botha, the Survivor

This week’s episode is the unbelievable survival story of Alison Botha, a woman who went through so many unfathomable things, but lived to tell her story. I feel so honored to get to discuss this amazing woman and her enduring strength. Trigger Warning: sexual assault, violence, attempted murder. -- * Alison’s Book [https://www.amazon.com/Have-Life-Alisons-Journey-Marianne-ebook/dp/B01G8WS2CG] * Alison’s Film [https://www.amazon.com/Alison-Christia-Visser/dp/B077464V7W/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2XDXDLHEHI6N9&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.D5SYPzhuYyVSG8Hbtr1weEVRwf97uchSB47B_axTybqY0gPPwL_81A9uxUxZsVId3RJwEms1R7LrbqKchEtiitx480K0PhkUFzzKasLbA_f7Lxi1jB8fNR99P73kgI8DrRvW_3jH-IFtd08IvKV9fiGLAEjIT7gLdfaKuQgHFY4LTHcBDd4GJVeBSnuhzmt05L13z6yboMbvyK3FPZX58iGVaOQuG_bwsTGbXAHWcmg.ALdMcxwnqkT4YwVutVg-rhD2MD6D-0s5TBdGBZDbdNU&dib_tag=se&keywords=alison&qid=1715644726&s=instant-video&sprefix=alison+%2Cinstant-video%2C140&sr=1-1] Sources: Tinning, Danielle.

Main Ep 10: Religious Trauma & Red Flags with Stacy

If you're into tea about people you do not know, this ep is for you! Stacy Bailey joins the pod this week to get very honest with our host. Audree and Stacy have been friends for a long time but have never discussed the red flags they saw in one another's relationships that did eventually end up in divorce, so they talk that out for the first time on this episode. Along the way, they hit on religious trauma, world views, and much, much more! It's a weirdly funny yet vulnerable episode.

Main Ep 9: The Stepfather Horror Series and John List Part 2

Part 2 of the John List vs The Stepfather series has dropped! This time we dig into "The Stepfather" horror movie series and how close it keeps to the true story of John List (the true crime story we dug into in Part 1). Your host, Audree, watched 3 Stepfather movies, spanning from the '80s to the remake in 2009 to discuss all the similarities, differences, and wacky inspirations of the series.  Source:  https://ew.com/tv/the-watcher-john-graff-true-story-john-list-family-murders/ [https://ew.com/tv/the-watcher-john-graff-true-story-john-list-family-murders/]

Mini Ep 12: At Least Mercury Retrograde Is Over?

The last week has been bonkers and Audree tries to cover it. She discusses the TikTok ban, Joe Biden and Donald Trump, the Pro-Palestine protests on campuses across the nation, and her misgivings about Taylor Swift's recent album and her Swift Fatigue.  Collage images from: ABC.com, Billboard, WAVY.com, and Teen Vogue.
