Season 6 EPI 12Are you ready to take the couch? ®️Welcome back to The Brain Love Podcast, where we unpack the mind, challenge the narrative, and get to the truth about mental health… and human behavior.Today’s conversation is a tough one—but an important one.Dr. Delvena is on the couch solo. Nancy Metayer Bowen, Vice Mayor of Coral Springs, was found dead in her home on April 1, 2026. Her husband, Stephen Bowen, was arrested and charged with premeditated murder and evidence tampering. According to police reports, he allegedly shot her multiple times, then attempted to conceal the crime. He reportedly told a relative he did it because he “couldn’t take it anymore.” The case is being investigated as domestic violence, and there is no confirmed motive publicly established yet. People are saying “mental illness.”Evil is not synonymous with mental illness.Planning a murder, carrying it out, and attempting to conceal it reflects awareness, intent, and choice.We have to stop labeling every horrific act as mental illness simply because it makes us uncomfortable to call it what it is.
