High Achiever Hits Breaking Point – Ep. 40
from Crisis & Consequences · host Escape Pod
Good kid, model student, high achiever – just a few of the descriptors bestowed on Sidney Powell during her high school years in Ohio. But college proved much more challenging, and some theorize that – rather than face her academic failures – Sidney turned on one of the people who loved her most. Is she a stone-cold murderer, or a young woman who suffered a mental break? On this episode of the Escape Pod, the co-hosts dive into a deep discussion about the desire to be perfect, and how that very mindset can be perfectly dangerous.
