    Why Stalking Victims Struggle to Get Justice feat. Anna Nasset

    How do you rebuild your life when a stalker is determined to destroy it? Michele Locke is joined by Stalking survivor, author, and advocate Anna Nasset who shares the terrifying reality of being stalked for years after opening an art gallery. What began as persistent emails and unwanted contact quickly escalated into threats, cyberstalking, and years of fear that ultimately forced her to close her business, leave her home, and rebuild her life across the country. Against overwhelming odds, Anna helped achieve one of the rarest outcomes in stalking prosecutions. After years of documenting evidence and working with prosecutors, her stalker was convicted of aggravated felony stalking and felony cyberstalking in a landmark case. She also recounts the extraordinary experience of being cross-examined in court by the man who stalked her. But this episode goes far beyond one survivor's story. Anna explains why stalking remains one of the most misunderstood crimes, why victims often struggle to get protection, and how technology has made stalking easier than ever. She discusses safety planning, digital privacy, trauma, dating after abuse, and the lasting emotional, financial, and professional impact stalking has on survivors. She also shares how her experience inspired a new mission: training law enforcement, prosecutors, victim advocates, and organizations to better recognize stalking behaviors and protect victims before violence escalates. Guest: Anna Nassett, Author of Now I Speak, international stalking expert, survivor advocate, trainer, and speaker. **DISCLAIMER** The information shared in this podcast is intended for entertainment purposes only.

    Christopher Titus on a 12-Year Divorce Battle, Family Court Chaos, and How Comedy Saved Him

    Content/Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of murder, and attempted murder, suicide and suicide attempts, domestic violence and domestic violence allegations, child abuse and child abuse allegations, pet abuse and animal death. Listener discretion is advised. Comedian Christopher Titus joins attorney and former family court judge Michele Locke for a candid conversation about the painful 12-year divorce battle that reshaped his life. After discovering his wife was sleeping with two other men and had stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars, Titus filed for divorce on 6/6/06, setting off more than a decade of courtroom battles, 108 court appearances, false abuse allegations, costly forensic accounting, and frustration with attorneys who failed to present critical evidence.  He also opens up about the emotional toll of the ordeal, including experiencing suicidal thoughts while on tour and being removed from his own home. Titus shares how his now wife, Rachel, became an unwavering source of support, helping reverse a ruling that once required him to pay his ex, into one that ultimately required his ex to pay him. He also explains the Richmond order that finally brought his alimony obligations to an end. Drawing on her experience overseeing CPS and protective-order cases, Locke offers practical insight into how family courts evaluate evidence, issue temporary orders, and navigate parenting disputes. Together, they discuss the importance of playing the long game for the sake of children, the value of settlement when possible, and the lasting harm caused by turning kids against a parent. The conversation also explores how comedy helped Titus transform trauma into connection, and why honesty and authenticity remain at the heart of both great storytelling and healing. **DISCLAIMER** The information shared in this podcast is intended for entertainment purposes only.

    Covert Narcissism in Marriage: Signs, Gaslighting, and Healing After Divorce | Laura Richards

    What happens when the person everyone sees as the “nice guy” is the one causing the deepest harm behind closed doors? In this powerful opening episode of lovelustlaw, host Michele Locke sits down with author and podcast host Laura Richards (Married to a Nice Guy; “That’s Where I’m At” Podcast) to explore her 30-plus year marriage and the abuse patterns she says were hidden beneath a carefully crafted public image. Laura shares her journey of uncovering decades of deception, infidelity, gaslighting, and manipulation, and how filing for divorce triggered what she describes as a campaign of blame, denial, and character assassination. Together, Michele and Laura unpack the hallmarks of covert narcissistic abuse, including DARVO, love bombing, future faking, devaluation, reverse discard, and smear campaigns, and discuss why victims often don’t need a clinical diagnosis to recognize an unhealthy relationship.  The conversation examines the impact of emotional abuse on mental health, family dynamics, and self-worth, including how children can become caught in the crossfire and how coercive behaviors can extend to intimacy, sleep deprivation, and emotional control. Ultimately, Laura reflects on the clarity that came after leaving, the peace that followed years of chaos, and the healing that becomes possible when victims reclaim their autonomy.  **DISCLAIMER** The information shared in this podcast is intended for entertainment purposes only.

    Is your partner tracking you without your knowledge?

Silberberg of DigiJaks to explore the growing intersection of technology, privacy, and modern relationships.

Beyond personal security, they explore the challenges law enforcement and courts face when handling technology-driven cases, the rise of malware marketplaces and organized cybercrime, and the increasing role of AI in shaping online information and reputation.

    The Hidden Reality of Financial Abuse and Coercive Control | Emily Rose Chadwick

    What happens when the systems designed to protect families leave women struggling to survive? On this powerful episode of lovelustlaw, attorney Michele Locke sits down with Emily Rose Chadwick, founder of the Mama Wilder Foundation, a nonprofit providing emergency cash grants to women navigating family court battles, financial hardship, and life after abuse. Emily shares her deeply personal journey as a single mother in Colorado, revealing how experiences with financial abuse, restraining orders, custody disputes, and a disappointing criminal justice outcome exposed critical gaps in support for women facing crisis. What began as grassroots fundraising through social media evolved into the Mama Wilder Foundation, a growing organization helping women pay for essentials like rent, groceries, transportation, and legal-related expenses when they need it most.  The conversation dives into the hidden realities of coercive control, why stay-at-home and homesteading mothers are often especially vulnerable to financial dependence, and how abusers can use money as a tool of power.  Emily and Michele also explore modern dating after divorce, identifying red flags and green flags in relationships, co-parenting challenges, digital evidence in family court, and the importance of maintaining financial autonomy. **DISCLAIMER** The information shared in this podcast is intended for entertainment purposes only.
