    Drying Egyptian Mummies & $1B Disasters: Wes Carlson's Wild Restoration Stories

    Mummies insured for $1B each, a secret mouse lab, and a $100K honesty check. True stories. He opened the door, and the man next to him fainted. Inside were two Egyptian mummies floating in their sarcophagi after a fire and flood, each insured for about $1 billion. Disaster restoration expert Wes Carlson, founder of Loss Management Solutions, has spent decades running into the disasters insurance companies can't handle. He dried out ancient mummies, restored a secret underground research lab holding more than 100,000 mice, and handled losses from Superstorm Sandy, including the United Nations building and the Holland Tunnel. In this episode of Insights with Marcia, Wes tells the wildest stories from his career and shares how he built a business on faith: starting debt-free with $5,000, reading a chapter of Proverbs every day for 20 years, and writing the hardest $100,000 check of his life. He also explains "dwell time," a principle from disinfecting hospitals that changes how you think about time in God's presence. Whether you're an entrepreneur, dreaming of starting something, or just love a good true story, you won't want to miss this one.

    Charlie Kirk's Killer Confessed in Texts — Here's What They Said

    Constitutional lawyer Keisha Toni Derry returns to Insights with Marcia to walk through the evidence in the Charlie Kirk murder case — separating what's actually in the court record from what's circulating on social media. Keisha (formerly of First Liberty Institute, now with the State of Florida) breaks down the case against Tyler Robinson point by point: the confession text messages to his roommate, the DNA found on the rifle and towel, the ballistics testimony, the surveillance footage and shoe/clothing matches, and what "transfer DNA" actually means in a case like this. She also explains how Utah's death penalty aggravating-factor standard applies here, what has to happen for a unanimous death verdict, and why she believes a guilty plea may ultimately be the most likely outcome. Marcia and Keisha also talk candidly about the "court of social media" — why online sleuthing and unverified theories are doing real damage to real people's lives — and close with a reflection on Charlie Kirk's legacy and impact on faith among young people.

    A Postpartum Nurse Breaks Down the Lindsay Clancy Case

    40-yr nurse on postpartum psychosis, the Clancy case & meds no one talks about A special edition of Insights with Marcia. As the Lindsay Clancy trial deliberations continue with no verdict yet, host Marcia Upson sits down with Gena Overby — a postpartum/pediatric nurse of over 40 years — to talk through what postpartum psychosis actually looks like from the inside. Gena has personally witnessed two cases of postpartum psychosis in her decades of nursing, and she walks through both stories in detail: the warning signs families missed, the moment each husband realized "this isn't tiredness, this is an emergency," and what recovery looked like afterward. The conversation moves into medication tapering, genetic methylation status, copper/zinc imbalances, and the nutrient-based psychiatric approach used by Dr. Albert Mensah — including why some people thrive on psychiatric medication and others don't. Neither Marcia nor Gena claims to know what happened with Lindsay Clancy specifically — this is Gena's clinical experience laid alongside the public facts of the case, offered as context, not judgment. Watch for the companion legal episode with attorney Keisha Toni Derry, breaking down what has to be proven in court.
