Last Modified 08/27/2026 16:32:02 by Freedom ControllerFamily is supposed to be your safe place—but what happens when home is the original high-control group? In this episode, Alicia Markowitz, co-host of the Spanish-language podcast Familias Horribles, joins us to talk about growing up in an abusive family system, becoming the scapegoat, and slowly realizing that the “family rules” were really just coercion, control, gaslighting, triangulation, and a whole lot of “because I said so.”
Alicia gets refreshingly real about trauma, religious guilt, emotional and physical abuse, fawning, zero contact, and the terrifying business of choosing yourself after a lifetime of being told you’re the problem. We talk about how family cults mirror other high-control groups, how to recognize the red flags, why boundaries don’t magically work on narcissists, and how therapy, trusted people, good information, and a little hard-won self-compassion can help you rebuild the person you had to hide to survive.
Follow Alicia on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok @estoydemilado, and Familias Horribles on YouTube and Instagram.
Trigger warning: This episode contains frank discussion of childhood abuse, physical violence, psychological and emotional abuse, narcissistic and controlling parents, family estrangement and zero contact, gaslighting, scapegoating, panic attacks, depression, trauma, and suicidal fear.

Not long ago, tech jobs were sought after for their security, benefits, wages, and the progressive values promoted by Silicon Valley companies. But now workers are barely hanging on. Clarissa Redwine and JS Tan join Paris Marx to discuss the state of worker organizing in the tech industry, including how it’s changed since the mid-2010s and where it needs to go from here.
Clarissa Redwine is a tech worker and labor activist. JS Tan is a PhD candidate at MIT and writes the Value Added newsletter. They are the authors of Against Tech Oligarchy: Worker Resistance in the World's Most Powerful Industry.

Also mentioned in this episode:
There’s someone in your life you wish would change.
You’ve pushed, reminded, and given advice. You’ve had the same conversation over and over.
And somehow, you’re still stuck in the same frustrating cycle of fighting, nagging, lecturing, and hoping they’ll finally do something differently.
There is a better way.
In today’s conversation, Mel sits down with renowned behavioral scientist and award-winning NYU professor Dr. Dolly Chugh to unpack the surprising science of why people resist change and what really works.
You’re going to walk away with some of the most powerful, research-backed tools Dr. Chugh teaches at NYU – tools that will change how you see difficult people, frustrating relationships, and your own ability to influence how others behave.
You’ll learn:
-The 3 things that really do help when someone you love won’t change
-The simple question to ask before giving advice – so it doesn’t backfire
-The 4-option question that reveals what someone needs from you in a difficult moment
-The relationship tool that keeps small problems from turning into 10-out-of-10 fights
-How to tell when “helping” someone is keeping them stuck
-The 2 “bodyguards” in your brain that explain why you know better but still don’t do better
-Why your brain can fight change even when you desperately want it
-The surprising role “unlearning” plays in changing a habit or behavior
If you’re exhausted from trying to change someone you love, this conversation will give you a different way forward – starting today – that feels lighter, more hopeful, and extremely doable.
Your relationships will never be the same. And neither will you.

This week, the girls are joined by Laci Mosley, comedian, actress, and host of the Scam Goddess podcast and TV show (and author of Scam Goddess the book), to talk about the many types of frauds that are out there, from romance scams to financial fraud to Munchausen by proxy. She talks about what makes us susceptible to scams, and how much overlap there is between the way that scams and cults operate.
Laci shares about the time she got scammed by a psychic in an airport, how even the most smart, successful people get swindled, and the lessons we can all take from scammers to be a little scammier–but like in a good way.

More To The Story: Ben McKenzie might seem like an unlikely choice to launch an investigation into the complicated world of cryptocurrency. But the television actor known for shows like The O.C. and Gotham did exactly that. His documentary film, Everyone Is Lying to You for Money, is a deep dive into the people and companies at the heart of crypto. The film focuses on McKenzie’s journey to discover why people continue to invest in digital currency even while knowing the risks of this highly under-regulated market.
On this week’s More To The Story, McKenzie shares his concerns for what he calls the cult-like behavior of those investing in digital currency, talks about his interview with disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried just months before his arrest, and discusses the poignant conversations he had with everyday people who trusted the power of digital currency and lost everything—yet are still crypto believers.

At 21, Stephanie Vaughn wanted to make some extra money. Then she won a "raffle" at her gym for a free case of energy drinks.
Lucky her, that free case won her entry into one of the biggest and most influential MLMs in the world...
AMWAY.
And the Amway lead her to the LTD, the Amway-affiliated training organization Stephanie says would eventually take over nearly every part of her life.
For nine years, Stephanie chased the promise of becoming a "Diamond": financial freedom, early retirement, and the life she was told was waiting for her if she just worked hard enough.
Instead she endured control on every level, including how much she slept, when she could visit family and even... who she was allowed to love.

Today is Mel’s 30th wedding anniversary. And she couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than to have a sit down conversation with her husband Chris about the lessons they've learned along the way.
This episode isn’t about the highlights – it’s talking about the hard lessons that have shaped their marriage these last 30 years.
Mel and Chris unpack the years where they felt more like roommates than a married couple and they share stories from when stress got the best of them.
They get into how resentment and bitterness created a distance that kept growing, and how they found their way back to each other.
They talk about what they wish they knew sooner and the expert advice that has helped them the most.
Mel and Chris also break down their relationship truths into small, actionable things you can do to make your relationship stronger today.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
-How to tell when stress has turned your partner from your favorite person into the person you blame.
-Why resentment, criticism, silence, and shutdown can become a cycle that quietly pulls couples apart.
-What “normal marital hatred” means and why your partner can trigger old wounds you have never fully dealt with.
-How to soften during conflict instead of hardening, attacking, or retreating.
-The simple rituals Mel and Chris use to rebuild connection, including notes, touch, walks, shared meals, and weekly calendar check-ins.
-How to know whether your relationship has the foundation to grow with you through decades of change.
Whether you are newly in love, decades into a marriage, going through a rough patch, or wondering if your relationship is going to make it through a rough season, this conversation will give you a more honest and useful way to think about lasting love.
Because the truth is, a strong relationship isn't built by avoiding the hard seasons. It’s built by learning the lessons from them and finding your way back to each other when those seasons come.

Learn how to truly help someone you love.
When someone you care about is going through a difficult time, you can make a meaningful difference with a few simple words.
Today, clinical psychologist and three-time New York Times bestselling author Dr. Lisa Damour teaches you how to offer the right kind of support for your kid, partner, or friend without panicking, taking control, or trying to fix everything.
You’ll learn 3 questions that help you understand whether someone needs to vent, needs more support, or may need professional help.
Dr. Damour also explains why painful emotions are not always a sign that something is wrong, how to recognize when coping has become harmful, and why giving advice before understanding what someone needs can backfire.
This episode is one of Mel’s favorite conversations on The Mel Robbins Podcast, and she’s bringing it back with a brand new introduction and new insights for right now.
In it, Mel gets personal about supporting her husband through depression, parenting teenagers through intense emotions, and the mistakes she made when she tried to solve every problem.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
-The exact words to use when someone shuts down or pushes you away
-Why the advice you give can make someone feel worse
-How to respond when someone is drinking, using substances, self-harming, or avoiding life
-How to listen so the person feels supported
-The simple question to ask when someone is venting
-How to stay calm when someone you love is overwhelmed
-The 3 questions to ask when someone you love is struggling
-How to tell the difference between normal stress and a serious mental health concern
-The two warning signs that someone may need professional support
-When and how to ask directly about suicide or self-harm
-How to suggest therapy without making someone feel broken
By the time you finish listening, you’ll know what to say, what not to say, and how to show up for someone you love.

The loss of land for Black Americans started with the government’s betrayal of its “40 acres” promise to formerly enslaved people—and it has continued over decades.
Today, researchers are unearthing the details of Black land loss long after emancipation.
“They lost land due to racial intimidation, where they were forced off their land [to] take flight in the middle of the night and resettle someplace else,” said Karcheik Sims-Alvarado, an assistant professor of Africana studies at Morehouse College. “They lost it through overtaxation. They lost it through eminent domain…There's all these different ways that African Americans acquired and lost land.”
This week on Reveal, we dive into the examination of American history happening at the state, city, even county level as local government task forces are on truth-finding missions. Across the country, government officials ask: Can we repair a wealth gap for Black Americans that is rooted in slavery? And how?

MAGA world continues to express outrage over Jon Ossoff's "travel with Natalie" remarks, including an over-the-top rant from Scott Jennings that is being seen as the pundit's shameless audition for the open White House press secretary job.
Dan and Jon react to Harp-gate, an MS NOW report that says Harp declined to seek a security clearance, and the New York Times reporting that Pete Hegseth brings his wife to highly sensitive meetings to "keep him out of trouble."
They then turn to the midterms to unpack Angie Nixon's surprising defeat of Alexander Vindman in the Florida Democratic Senate primary, Dan Sullivan vs. Dan Sullivan in the Alaska general election, Darline Graham's historically embarrassing debate answer in South Carolina, and the impact the debate over data centers is having on the Ohio Senate election.
Then, Josh Turek, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Iowa, stops by the studio to talk to Lovett about Democratic momentum in the Hawkeye State and how he convinced Barack Obama to shoot hoops in his viral endorsement video.

In Part 2 with Alicia Duncan, we get into the really juicy stuff: the loaded language, the euphemisms, and the whole “don’t say the scary word or everyone clutch their pearls” universe around MAID. Alicia breaks down how terms like autonomy, dignity, and assisted dying get used as PR glitter, while the actual lived experience can look a lot more like coercion, gaslighting, and a bureaucratic escape room with no exit.
She also digs into the bigger system questions: who benefits, what safeguards are missing, why assessors aren’t held to a higher standard, and how financial and institutional incentives can shape decisions about life and death. Plus: the autopsy findings, the physiological effects of the drugs used, the push to expand MAID to people with mental illness and even mature minors, and why Alicia is on a mission to keep asking the annoying-but-necessary questions.

Test post
If you have ever been told that you are too emotional, sensitive, anxious, hormonal, disorganized, or simply not trying hard enough, this episode is for you.
There’s a chance, according to Mel’s expert guest today, that like Mel, that the root cause of what you’re struggling with is actually ADHD.
Today, Dr. Sasha Hamdani, MD, a board-certified psychiatrist and leading expert on ADHD, gives you the full and comprehensive explanation you deserve.
She shares that ADHD is not just about attention. It can affect your emotions, motivation, energy, sleep, appetite, relationships, and ability to handle the demands of everyday life.
And these symptoms often get completely missed in women and girls.
Mel gets deeply personal about being diagnosed at 47, the anxiety she experienced for decades that was due to untreated ADHD, and the emotional overwhelm she never realized was connected to ADHD.
Dr. Hamdani explains why ADHD is mistaken for anxiety, depression, OCD, burnout, or hormonal issues (this is why so many people spend years believing there is something wrong with them!).
This is the ultimate guide to adult ADHD.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
-Why ADHD is not just attention and focus; it’s also about regulating your mood, sleep, motivation, and energy.
-Why ADHD is so often missed in women and girls
-Why anxiety, depression, OCD, burnout, and ADHD are often confused (even by medical professionals)
-Why criticism feels so overwhelming for anyone with ADHD
-Why perfectionism, overworking, and people pleasing can be signs of ADHD
-What is happening inside the ADHD brain
-Why ADHD is not always a “superpower”
-The four critical steps to take if you think you or someone you love may have ADHD
-The medication, therapy, coaching, tools, and systems that may help ease symptoms of ADHD
-What you can start doing while you wait for professional support
-The difference between the way ADHD can look externally and how it can feel internally
-How hormonal changes during puberty, postpartum, and perimenopause can intensify ADHD symptoms
This is an episode about understanding your brain, recognizing lifelong patterns, and learning what kind of support may be available to you.

Cet ami qui refuse de quitter son bonnet ou sa casquette quelle que soit la saison, cet autre qui ne parle plus que d'Istanbul... À l’approche de la trentaine, la perte des cheveux est inévitable pour certains hommes et ils sont nombreux à vivre ce changement de look comme une crise identitaire. Pourtant, si le crâne lisse fait souvent l’objet de moqueries, il peut aussi être vu comme un symbole de maturité et de virilité.
Pourquoi accorde-t-on autant d’importance à la perte de cheveux ? Dans l’histoire, la calvitie a-t-elle toujours été considérée comme une tare ? Et pourquoi certains hommes chauves cherchent à compenser l’absence de cheveux en se laissant pousser la barbe ?
Pour en parler, Naomi Titti reçoit Robinson Baudry, maître de conférence en histoire ancienne et co-auteur du livre Les Chauves. Histoire d’un préjugé dans la Rome antique avec Caroline Husquin (2025, Éds. Armand Colin) et Victor Vey, doctorant en sociologie et auteur de plusieurs articles, dont « La carrière de barbu. Socialisation à l’entretien de la barbe et construction d’une masculinité hybride » paru dans (2024, Émulations).

This week, Meagan and Lola sit down with Michelle McPhee, investigative reporter and host of podcast Kingdom of Fraud, to discuss how Jacob Kingston, a fundamentalist Mormon from the secretive polygamist sect known as the Kingston clan, or the “Order,” teamed up with a shadowy Armenian tycoon nicknamed “the Lion” to commit one of the largest fraud schemes in U.S. history.
She’ll explain how Jacob’s drive to prove himself as one of over 100 siblings within the insular Kingston hierarchy got him in over his head with Levon Termendzhyan, his unlikely partner in the massive scheme they embarked on: it involved renewable fuel tax credits, international money laundering, powerful political connections, and billions of dollars. Plus, how they finally got caught–with the help of a couple of Trust Me’s previous guests.

More To The Story: Sen. Adam Schiff is often on the receiving end of President Donald Trump’s rage online. It should be no surprise. Back in 2020, the California Democrat was the lead prosecutor during the first Trump impeachment trial as a member of the House of Representatives. Now a senator, Schiff has been laying out a different strategy for how Democrats might challenge the president if they reclaim Congress. Much of that strategy focuses on how the president has enriched himself in the White House—all at the expense, Schiff argues, of the American people. On this week’s More To The Story, Schiff describes what it’s like to be an ever-present target of Trump’s ire, how the Israeli government has pushed longtime supporters like himself to criticize it more openly, and lays out his proposals for rebuilding America’s institutional guardrails in a post-Trump era.

Jon Ossoff attacks Trump for sidestepping his duties to "travel with Natalie," the White House aide known as Trump's "Human Printer," who has a suspiciously close relationship to the president.
Jon, Tommy, and Lovett discuss the new line of attack and the president's response, the end of the 60-day cease-fire agreement with Iran, Trump's decision to scale back joint military exercises with South Korea, and his reaction to the horrible conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln.
Then, they check in on the fight to take back the Senate, Ken Paxton stealing a $1,000 pen, Mary Peltola rejecting Kamala Harris's endorsement, and a new poll in Michigan that has Abdul El-Sayed down four points to Mike Rogers.
Then, Brian Poindexter, a union ironworker, talks to Tommy about his campaign to unseat disgraced congressman Max Miller of Ohio.

Rediffusion - Mon “infin” alias Yves Junior, est depuis quelques mois dans son fameux “terrible two”. Même si je sais que ce passage aux 2 ans est une étape nécessaire pour son autonomie et son indépendance, franchement, je me sens parfois totalement démunie. Vivre ce rejet c’est usant, fatiguant. Cela a ravivé en moi, des blessures du passé et remis en perspective ma vision de l’éducation. Dans cet épisode solo que j’ai enregistré en live sur Twitch, je me livre comme toujours sans filtre, ni censure.
