Ep. 65: Moms and Monsters- Gypsy Rose Blanchard and the Hysterical Strength Phenomenon

Hi spooky people! Welcome to a special Mother's Day episode! Today, we're exploring the phenomenon of hysterical strength—because let's face it, moms have been known to move mountains when their kids are in trouble! We'll get into some incredible stories of superhuman feats driven by adrenaline and maternal love, and why it's possible. In addition to that, we discuss Gypsy Rose Blanchard's story—a twisty tale of deception, revenge, and the complicated relationship between a mother and daughter. And since it's Mother's Day, let's raise a toast to all the hard- working moms out there just doing their best. They all deserve some love- even the dog moms (I see you). Cheers!
