We discuss what sparked her passion for true crime, why she focuses on solved cases, growing a community online, the challenges of content creation, and the importance of protecting your mental health while covering difficult stories. Plus, some fun games and hot takes along the way.

This week on The Judgy Bitch Pod, I'm joined by Kelly Dawn, psychic guide, entrepreneur, and host of the Money Mystic podcast. We discuss money mindset, manifestation, intuition, and why more money doesn't always create more peace.

Burnout, reinvention, and choosing joy in midlife—Lauren | Joy in Motion creates space for honest connection and gets me to open up like never before.

We throw around “this gave me PTSD” way too casually—but what does PTSD actually mean?
In this episode, I’m joined by Lauren, the self esteemed counselor, to break down PTSD and CPTSD, including triggers, trauma, and how it shows up in real life. We talk about the difference between PTSD and CPTSD, common misconceptions, and how people can manage and heal.

On this episode of On the Paige of Crime, we dive into the mysterious death of Kendrick Johnson—officially ruled an accident, but surrounded by questions that refuse to go away. From missing organs to conflicting reports and allegations of a cover-up, we break down the details, the theories, and what still doesn’t add up. Accident or coincidence… or something more? Buckle up, bitches.

Molly is back for Part 2 and we’re diving into all things Bridgerton. From Sophie Baek and Benedict Bridgerton’s storyline to plot twists, fan theories, and our unfiltered hot takes — we’re breaking it all down.

Molly is back on The Judgy Bitch Pod and we’re diving into the shift from Snake Year energy into Fire Horse energy — recorded on the Spring Equinox ✨ We break down what this new cycle means, why you might be feeling restless or ready for change, and how to work with this bold, fast-moving energy. Expect laughs, real talk, and insights you can actually apply to your life.

We throw around “I have OCD” way too casually—but what does OCD actually mean?
In this episode, I’m joined by Lauren, the self esteemed counselor, to break down intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and the real struggle behind OCD. We talk about why these thoughts feel so real, the misconception around OCD, and how people with OCD can overcome it.

In Part 2 of On the Paige of Crime, Paige and I step into the “reasonable doubt” debate in the Laci Peterson case. Looking at both the Netflix (detectives’ POV) and Hulu (defense POV) documentaries, we play devil’s advocate and break down why some believe Scott Peterson is guilty — and why others think there may be reasonable doubt.

We’re not here to decide — we’re here to question everything.

In our first On the Paige of Crime episode, Paige and I break down the Laci Peterson case from all angles. We compare the Netflix documentary (detectives’ POV) vs. the Hulu documentary (defense POV), unpack the timeline, Scott Peterson’s affair, and key moments leading to his arrest. We even play devil’s advocate along the way.

We stop right before the “reasonable doubt” debate — Part 2 is where things really get wild.

In Part 2, we’re zeroing in on the most talked-about dynamic in The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives 👀

Taylor Frankie Paul, Dakota, and the whole DadTok world—what’s really going on here?

From relationship patterns to online personas vs. reality, we’re breaking it all down with our very unfiltered (and very judgy) takes.

If you thought Part 1 had opinions… just wait 😏

I put out a “most wanted podcast guest” call on TikTok… and Marisa delivered 😏

So yes, this became a double episode.

We’re breaking down The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives—every wife, every relationship, and all the dynamics in between.

Who’s thriving, who’s struggling, and who has us side-eyeing hard 👀

Part 2 drops next week… it only gets messier.

Perimenopause can bring surprising symptoms for women 40+ — sleep disruption, brain fog, mood changes, and hormone shifts. In this episode, I’m joined by Keonté Fisher, FNP-BC, Founder and Clinical Chief Officer of Discreet Health, to talk about common perimenopause symptoms, why sleep can suddenly feel so hard, and why labs can look “normal” even when women don’t feel like themselves.

In this episode, I’m joined by artist, cosplayer, and vintage fashion lover MissGingerLocks. Known for her stunning vintage looks and raw, thought-provoking reels, she shares how creativity, style, and embracing your “weird girl” energy can become a powerful form of self-expression. We talk about vintage fashion, confidence, individuality, and why sometimes standing out is exactly the point.

Today I’m joined by creator Cat Miggs to talk about her imaginative new project The Tree Whisperer — a PG-13 fantasy comedy podcast set in Bufford National Park about a forest ranger who talks to trees and the quirky characters around her. Cat shares how the idea came to life, why she’s introducing the characters one by one, and her vision of turning this unique podcast into a future TV show.

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses emotional abuse, manipulation, and narcissistic behavior.

In this episode, I’m joined again by Lauren, aka theselfesteemedcounselor, to break down narcissism in a clear, accessible way. We talk about what narcissism actually is, where it stems from, how to recognize red flags in relationships and friendships, why narcissists are skilled manipulators, and what happens when you confront them. We also cover boundaries, no-contact, and how to protect your mental health if you’re dealing with someone like this.

In this deeply personal episode, Melli shares the night her mother was attacked by a serial killer in Germany in 1996 — and how she and her sister survived. Guided by Paige, this is not just a true crime case recap, but a survivor’s story of courage, trauma, and resilience. We discuss the investigation, the pattern of violence in 1990s Berlin, and what it’s like to grow up knowing your family lived through something unimaginable.

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses violence and assault.

After watching the latest Summer House episode, I had thoughts… and this time, you’re getting them raw and unedited. 🎙️

Recorded in the park under the Hollywood sign (Peanut cameo included 🐶), I break down Amanda & Kyle’s cringe moments, the red flags, and why the split didn’t surprise me. No cuts. No polish. Just full Judgy Bitch analysis — plus excitement for the upcoming “In The City” spin-off.

Holly is back and we’re getting very judgy. We break down Scheana Shay’s book, the friendship fallout with Lala and her new podcast era, why the Vanderpump Rules reboot feels forced, and why Stassi might be the blueprint for evolving beyond Bravo. Honest opinions, hot takes, and zero pretending to like things we don’t.

Speaking a second language doesn’t just change how you talk — it can quietly shape your confidence and sense of self. In this raw solo episode, I open up about feeling “small” when meeting new people, the mental vacuum of being stuck between two languages, and how parts of my personality feel muted depending on which language I speak. From untranslatable sayings to identity shifts, this episode is for anyone who’s ever felt lost in translation — and ready to reclaim their voice.

In this episode, I’m joined by Lauren, aka The Self-Esteemed Counselor, to talk about self-esteem, fawn mode, people-pleasing, and how low self-worth shows up in our relationships and daily lives. We break down the signs of low self-esteem and share practical ways to rebuild confidence and self-trust.

In this episode, Paige and I break down the Karen Read case and the controversial trial surrounding the death of Boston police officer John O’Keefe. We walk through the timeline, disputed evidence, witness testimony, and investigative red flags that left the jury — and us — with more questions than answers. This is a fact-based discussion of one of the most debated true crime cases in recent years.

Trigger warning: trauma, abuse, mental health.
In this deeply moving episode, Marta shares her personal journey living with CPTSD and bipolar disorder, and the impact of narcissistic abuse. We talk about her healing, resilience, and what it means to rebuild after trauma. A raw, vulnerable story that reminds us we’re never alone in the hard stuff. 💔🎙️

Growing up as a millennial in East Germany meant waiting, sharing, and making the most of very little. In this solo episode, I take you back to a childhood before streaming, smartphones, and endless choices — with only two TV channels, one Barbie, cassette tapes, knockoff brands, handmade holidays, and a lot of freedom kids today would never understand. A nostalgic, funny, and honest look at how scarcity shaped an entire generation.

'Tis the season: It’s my very first solo episode and the last one of the year! With a sleepy Peanut cameo, I open up about my 2025 journey: the wins, the struggles, and everything in between. I recap every episode, thank my amazing guests, friends and bitch besties for all the love and support, and send everyone warm holiday wishes. See you in 2026 — buckle up, bitches besties! 💋🎄🐶

In this episode, Melli and Paige dive deep into the mysterious death of Ellen Greenberg — the Philadelphia teacher found with 20 stab wounds yet ruled a suicide. We unpack the medical examiner’s flip-flop from homicide to suicide, the suspicious details, and why so many believe there’s more to this story. Was it true crime… or a true cover-up?

Ever wondered what really happens in a psychic reading? Medium Stephanie from Tangerine Sage Healing gives me (and you) a mini meditation and energy reading that gets very personal — from my “silver heart” to a message from my grandfather.

Emily, founder of The Perimenopause Hub, joins Melli to talk all things hormones, hot flashes, and identity shifts. They unpack the signs, surprises, and self-care tools every woman should know — with honesty, humor, and zero shame. Because even when our hormones are wild, we’re still that bitch.

This week on The Judgy Bitch Pod, we’re getting real about endometriosis — the pain, the stigma, and the constant fight to be taken seriously. I’m joined by Portland specialist Dr. Nicholas Fogelson, one of the leading experts in endometriosis care, to break down what’s actually happening in the body, why diagnosis takes so long, and what real treatment options look like.

Dr. Fogelson shares the facts every woman should know, clears up common myths (no, pregnancy doesn’t cure endo), and explains why so many patients are left suffering for years before finding answers.

If you’ve ever been told it’s “just bad cramps,” this episode will make you feel seen, validated, and ready to advocate for yourself.

🎧 Listen now and share this episode with every woman who deserves to know she’s not alone.

This week on The Judgy Bitch Pod, Melli welcomes Romi for her very first appearance — and things get juicy fast. The two dive into this season of Love Island USA, break down the new spinoff Beyond the Villa, and share their unfiltered takes on who’s giving main-character energy and who needs to pack their bags.

Romi also spills on her real-life adventure — a dentist trip to Ecuador (yes, Ecuador, not Equator 😂) — and Melli puts her through the ultimate Love Island game: Couple Up or Cancel?

If you love reality TV chaos, cheeky banter, and brutally honest opinions, this one’s for you. Buckle up, bitches — it’s a wild ride beyond the villa. 🌴💅

This week, I’m sharing something a little different. I recently joined Tammy on her podcast The Path to Transformation to talk about how I came to America, my past abusive marriage, and the journey that led me to becoming… well, The Judgy Bitch.

Tammy was kind enough to let me share that conversation here as a bonus episode while I take some time off for surgery and recovery. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s a big part of my story that I’ve never shared this openly before.

Thank you for listening, bitch besties — I’ll be back next week with new episodes, new laughs, and probably a few new scars. 💕

This week, your favorite main bitch Melli is back with Molly — and the stars (and Swifties) have aligned! 💫 Molly’s TikTok has been on fire lately with all her Taylor Swift theories, so of course we had to talk about her obsession, the bread rumors, and why she’s living her best Swiftie life.

Then she reads my birth chart and breaks down what the universe really has to say about me — from my rising sign to my main character energy. It’s giving astrology meets fangirl chaos, and I’m so here for it. ✨

This week, I sit down with Tammy, who opens up about losing her mom and how grief reshaped her life. We talk about what it’s really like to navigate loss, why you don’t just “heal” from it, and how she’s learned to live with grief while leaning into gratitude and sound baths. Tammy also shares her own podcast journey, and of course, we play some judgy games to keep it real.

Whether you’ve been through loss yourself or just need a reminder that joy can exist alongside pain, this one’s for you.

From side parts to pumpkin spice, we’re getting judgy about all things millennial. This week’s guest slid straight from TikTok into the pod, and together we tackle bangs, adulting, avocado toast, and the eternal question: how the hell do you get TikTok famous?

In our very first true crime deep dive, we take on the heartbreaking and haunting case of the four University of Idaho students murdered in their home in November 2022. This case has stuck with us — maybe because it feels like every woman’s worst nightmare. We walk through what happened, how the suspect was tracked down and arrested, and we share our own thoughts on what may have led to these senseless killings.

While there was a moment we couldn’t help but laugh (thanks to Melli tripping over her words), our hearts remain with the victims — Kaylee, Madison, Xana, and Ethan — and their families. We will not name the killer in this episode, because the story should be about the lives lost, not the monster who took them.

Pack your bags and polish that resume, bitch besties — we’re going on a ride. In this episode, I sit down with recruiter Steven to spill the tea on job interviews, resume red flags, and why so many “EA” roles are actually just admin in disguise. But it’s not all career talk — we also dive into Steven’s Bali adventures, our mutual love for Simple Plan and Yellowcard, and his obsession with festivals. Oh, and yes… there were drinks involved. 🍹 Buckle up for Bali trips, festival pits, and plenty of recruiting bits.

This week, Melli sits down with her former coworker Anna — a copywriter, storyteller, yoga teacher, and Reiki practitioner — to explore the unexpected intersections of creativity and healing. From the art of finding the right words to the energy of aligning mind and body, Anna shares how storytelling and spirituality can flow together in everyday life. Buckle up, bitches — it’s equal parts inspiring, grounding, and unapologetically real.

In this episode, I sit down with Cat — the powerhouse who wrote, produced, and directed her own Beauty and the Beast parody (The Enchanted Silverware) and premiered it at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. We spill the tea on what it’s like to bring enchanted forks and spoons to life on stage, the wild world of theater, and Cat’s own incredible story of surviving a heart attack at a shockingly young age.

Of course, it wouldn’t be The Judgy Bitch Pod without some fun and games — think enchanted objects, feast-worthy foods, and rapid-fire ridiculousness.

Grab your leash and your latte, bitch besties — this week we’re diving nose-first into the world of Cavapoos with the founder of Cavapoo Friends NYC. We swap stories about our own fluffy little divas, dish out real (and a little judgy) advice for fellow pawrents, and yes… we call out the cringe things we’ve seen in the dog park. If you’re a Cavapoo lover, a proud dog mom, or just here for the tea on bougie pawrents, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I’m joined by Sarah to unpack the wildest Swedish sayings (yes, there’s a cow on the ice and someone’s shitting in a blue cupboard). We try to guess what these hilarious idioms mean — and roast them along the way.

Oh, and SKIMS launched nipple bras… so obviously we had thoughts. Buckle up, bitches — it’s a judgy ride.

Think your friend group is messy? Wait till you hear what went down in The Valley.
Season 2 is a full-blown disaster—and Holly and I are here to judge it.
Jax spirals, Brittany sets boundaries, and Jesse and Michelle’s divorce turns into a Bravo battlefield. We’ve got exposed group chats, accidental engagement reveals, and a reunion that proves nobody on this show knows what accountability means. Holly and I unpack the chaos, the comebacks, and the couples that should’ve never been.

Hit play, bitch besties—this one’s a ride. 🎧

We dive into all the juiciest moments from The Valley Season 1 — from babymoons and breakups to pants being pulled down at the pool. Plus, we play a little “This or That” and our own twist on “Fuck, Marry, Kill” with the cast you love (and love to hate).

It’s the very first episode of The Judgy Bitch Pod, and who better to kick things off with than my bestie Simone — a fellow German bitch with a sharp tongue and even sharper wit. We dive into all things Deutsch, from hilarious German traditions to sayings that make zero sense in English (but somehow hit hard). We also spill how we met, our funniest memories together, and play some ridiculous games like Fuck, Marry, Kill and This or That. Grab a drink, get comfy, and buckle up, bitches — we’re just getting started.
