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

Monday, June 22, 2026 • Duration 01:09:04

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.

The Dark Side of Modern Relationships: Spyware, Tracking, and Control | Alan Silberberg

Monday, June 15, 2026 • Duration 01:34:06

Is your partner tracking you without your knowledge?

In this episode of lovelustlaw, family law attorney and host Michele Locke sits down with cybersecurity and reputation-management expert Alan W. Silberberg of DigiJaks to explore the growing intersection of technology, privacy, and modern relationships.

From digital stalking and spyware to online harassment and reputation attacks, Alan explains how everyday devices, including AirPods, smartphones, smart cars, and connected home technology, can be used to monitor, track, or gather information about unsuspecting individuals. The conversation examines common surveillance tactics, including malicious links, shared account access, Bluetooth and NFC-based threats, and deceptive techniques such as “evil twin” Wi-Fi networks.

Michele and Alan also discuss practical steps listeners can take to protect themselves, including strengthening privacy settings, reviewing app permissions, disabling unused device features, and enabling two-factor authentication. 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.

Key topics covered:

Cyberstalking and digital surveillance
AirTags, AirPods, and “Find My” tracking concerns
Spyware, phishing links, and account compromise
Bluetooth, NFC, and proximity-based threats
Evil twin Wi-Fi networks and cybercriminal tactics
Smart cars, connected devices, and privacy risks

Love, Lust, and Lies: Inside the World of Affairs feat. Lauren LaRusso

Friday, April 10, 2026 • Duration 01:16:02

What really leads someone to cheat, and can a relationship ever fully recover?
Michele sits down with psychotherapist Lauren LaRusso, an expert in infidelity who brings both clinical insight and deeply personal experience to the conversation. After discovering her own husband’s affair and navigating divorce, Lauren now helps others make sense of betrayal, healing, and hard decisions. Together, they unpack the emotional and psychological layers of cheating: why it happens, what warning signs often get missed, and what it actually takes to rebuild trust (if that’s even the right path forward).

Enjoying My Blonde Life: Dating, Trust, and the “Duh Factor”

Friday, April 3, 2026 • Duration 56:12

After years of handling divorce and infidelity cases, Michele opens up about how the job can leave even the sharpest minds a little jaded—and hyper-aware of red flags. But beneath her tough exterior, she still believes in love, even if “your person” might evolve over time. The twist? She admits she often misses when someone is flirting—unless they’re very direct. Inspired by insights from an upcoming lovelustlaw episode with affair coach Lauren LaRusso, Michele and Jake dive into the gray areas of modern relationships. They explore questions like what actually counts as cheating, where the line should be drawn between privacy and secrecy, and what it really means if you feel the urge to check your partner’s phone. Michele also pulls back the curtain on her personal transformation—from losing over 120 pounds to embracing a bold new look that boosted her confidence—and reflects on the traits that make great litigators: competitiveness, resilience, and a love for the spotlight, before recounting and sharing a clip of her live appearance on True Crime Tonight, where high-stakes moments ranged from a chilling domestic abuse call to major legal debates and a newborn CPS case where her warning may have changed a child’s fate forever.

Control, Boundaries, and the Power of Starting Over feat. Kat Zammuto

Friday, March 20, 2026 • Duration 58:10

What does it really take to rebuild your life from nothing - emotionally, financially, spiritually? Michele sits down with Kat Zammuto of the hit podcast Kat on the Loose to unpack a story that will stop you in your tracks. After surviving a 15-year abusive marriage defined by control and loss, Kat made the impossible choice to walk away - even when it cost her everything.

They get brutally real about why women stay too long, the hidden patterns that linger after toxic relationships, and what reclaiming your power truly looks like. From the moment she knew she had to leave to the unexpected choice to return and care for her husband before his death, Kat’s journey is as complex as it is profoundly powerful.

Michele dives into the quirks of Texas men, while the hosts speak candidly about money, control, boundaries, and dating dynamics. And when a fellow podcaster drops a surprise question about Michele and Jake, the conversation ignites into a fiery, no-holds-barred exchange.

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

Friday, February 6, 2026 • Duration 31:57

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.

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

Saturday, January 17, 2026 • Duration 24:13

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.

Wednesday, December 31, 2025 • Duration 31:21

2025 was a year of glamour, growth, and bold moves—and Michele and Jake are here to spill it all. Michele teases her next chapter as an erotic literature author, shares her LA photoshoots and makeup transformations, and gets real about battling keyboard warriors (Angelina Jolie fans, we’re looking at you).

Meanwhile, Jake’s “snail pace” meets Michele’s cheetah energy, and together they’re plotting to pick up the speed in 2026. They also give a sneak peek at the next season of lovelustlaw, diving into overlooked legal stories in family law and criminal defense, centering survivor experiences, and taking the podcast to video.

In LA, Michele fully steps into transformation. With legendary photographer Troy Jensen her glamour photoshoot becomes a bold, confidence-boosting celebration of style, self-expression, and reclaiming her sparkle—inside and out.
