Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire.

Podcast Insights
Content Themes
Explores themes of psychological insights, societal issues, and personal resilience, with episodes addressing topics like the psychology of predators, the dark realities of life in Orange County, and experiences of survival against abusive situations.
This isn’t bedtime reading — it’s your favorite dose of chaos, crime, and dark comedy at humanity’s expense, all served with a heavy pour of sarcasm and satire.
Dr. Leslie takes you straight into the messiest media cases dominating the headlines — and dissects them down to their twisted core and exposes just how thin the line is between tragedy and entertainment… thinner than anyone wants to admit. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist (and an impressively low tolerance for bullshit), Dr. Leslie is here to make sense of the madness… or at least make you laugh at it.
Leaving an abusive or controlling relationship isn’t the end of the story—it’s the beginning of a difficult healing process. In this episode, Dr. Leslie explains why anxiety often increases after leaving, how your nervous system adapts to life after survival mode, and why grief and relief can exist at the same time.
We also discuss practical safety planning, digital security, and the steps victims can take to protect themselves while rebuilding their lives. If you're navigating life after abuse—or supporting someone who is—this episode is for you.
