I sit down with Sherry Griffith to talk about what happens when a health crisis becomes a turning point and learning becomes part of healing, not just a line on a resume.

We get real about the barriers adult learners face, including the “you’re too old” stigma, fi...

What follows is a painful look at how misdiagnosis, delayed testing, and &...

Sandra L opens with a clear challenge: patients are tired of being dismissed, talked down to, or treated like a template, and real patient-centered care only happens when we communicate and build solutions together.

We’re joined by Ebony Mushell, founder of Proud The Lab, a bilateral breast ca...

    Love Trapped

    Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026. If you would like to reach out to the Love Trapped team, email us at lovetrappedpod@gmail.com and follow along on Instagram @glasspodcasts.
