Cait Alexander joins us to share her story of surviving an attempted murder on July 31, 2021. What started as a "Hallmark" relationship during the pandemic quickly turned into a fight for her life.

In this episode, Cait breaks down the specific patterns abusive partners follow, often called the "Dark Triad" of narcissism and psychopathy. She explains why victims often "freeze" instead of fight, and why leaving is statistically the most dangerous time in a relationship.

We also discuss the failure of the justice system. After nearly killing her, Cait’s abuser was released on just $500 bail. She shares how she is now suing the government to demand change.

Co-parenting coach Jay Skibbens reveals his extraordinary journey of discovering through DNA tests that none of his three children were biologically his - and why he chose to remain their father. After years of toxic co-parenting and a devastating paternity fraud discovery, Jay transformed his pain into purpose, becoming a leading voice for divorced parents navigating high-conflict situations.

Jay shares raw insights about being raised by a single mom without knowing his father, the addictive nature of toxic relationships, and the moment he discovered the truth about his children's paternity when they were 3 and 18 months old. Despite the betrayal, he legally formalized his role as their father and now coaches hundreds of divorced moms through similar co-parenting challenges, offering a unique perspective as someone who's "been to hell" and found a way forward.

When trust breaks down, even good intentions can start to feel like control.
In Part 2 with Zach Watson, we explore how couples can rebuild trust by replacing reminders with real ownership, and why running a simple “boring meeting” can change everything.

Zach explains how to close the communication loop, set boundaries that stick, and turn recurring frustrations into shared systems that actually work. We unpack why “chore play” misses the point, how culture still rewards men for doing the bare minimum, and what it really takes to balance visible and invisible labor at home.
