    Thread Lifts, GLP-1s & Modern Beauty: Confidence, Confessions & a Judicial Stalking Scandal

    This episode of lovelusraw brings on the pain—Michele’s brutally honest, somehow still worth-it threading experience—and quickly opens up into a bigger conversation about beauty, self-worth, and the price we pay to feel confident. Michele, Jake, and Gabi break down the evolution of beauty standards, from ’80s diet culture and Dexatrim to Hydroxycut, GLP-1s, and today’s obsession with effortless perfection. The trio gets real about societal pressure, body image, and the ongoing work of owning who you are, sharing personal stories of insecurity, growth, and self-acceptance along the way. Then, just when you think it’s all about beauty, the episode takes a sharp turn with Hot Takes High Stakes. The trio dives into a jaw-dropping judicial scandal involving a judge accused of stalking, calling out power, accountability, and why status never excuses inappropriate behavior. **DISCLAIMER** The information shared in this podcast is intended for entertainment purposes only.

    Stalking, Divorce, & Fear: Navigating Awareness, Accountability, and the Legal System

    In honor of National Stalking Awareness Month, this episode of lovelustraw focuses on the unsettling reality of stalking. Host Michele Locke and Jake Deptula, joined by Gabi Zielke, explore the tangled crossroads of obsession, mental health, stalking, and the law. Drawing from Michele’s real-world experience as a lawyer, they explore cases where fixation and legal gray areas collide—showing why victims are often left navigating a system that wasn’t designed to stop danger before it escalates.The conversation challenges stereotypes about “stalkers,” unpacks accountability, and examines the emotional toll stalking takes on everyone involved. Michele also reflects on how her own divorce and personal experiences shaped her perspective on relationships, boundaries, and trust in a legal system that doesn’t always have the answers. **DISCLAIMER** The information shared in this podcast is intended for entertainment purposes only.
