Alreen Haeggquist is a successful attorney and author who’s made it her life’s mission to advocate for women — but her journey to becoming that woman is one of the most harrowing stories we’ve ever heard.

In this raw and deeply emotional conversation, Alreen shares her experience of being abused by her father (both emotionally and sexually), the silence that surrounded it within her large family, and the lifelong impact of her mother’s silence. For decades, Alreen kept her story a secret…until the day she decided to write it all down.

We talk about the trauma of secrecy, the physical toll of unspoken pain, how becoming a mother changed everything for her, and what healing actually looks like. Today, as a sexual harassment lawyer, Alreen helps others reclaim their voices, even as she continues to find hers.

If you’ve ever questioned whether speaking out is worth the cost, this episode might just change your life.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains discussions of sexual abuse and childhood trauma.

In this emotional and empowering episode of The Real Stuff, I sit down with content creator, singer, and entrepreneur Daniela Legarda for a raw conversation about fame, family, and healing after unimaginable loss. Daniela opens up about the tragic and sudden death of her brother, Latin music artist Fabio Legarda, and how that moment changed the course of her life forever.

From building a multi-million following online to navigating the pressures of being a Latina influencer, Daniela shares what it’s really like to grieve in public, find spiritual meaning in signs from beyond, and reclaim your voice after trauma. She also talks about money, mental health, being sexualized online, and what it means to create content with purpose.

Whether you’re a fan of Daniela Legarda or looking for inspiration on turning pain into purpose, this episode is filled with heart, hustle, and healing.

At 26 years old, this audience caller thought she was building a life — trying for a baby, working for her husband’s family business, and living in their shared home. But everything was a lie. In this anonymous caller episode, Lucie hears one of the most jaw-dropping divorce stories yet: a young woman tricked into thinking she was infertile while her husband was secretly preventing pregnancy for nearly a year. After losing her job, her house, her marriage, and even her dog, she found herself forced to rebuild from scratch. What follows is a raw, emotional, and ultimately empowering story about betrayal, resilience, and how rock bottom can sometimes be the start of everything.

In this explosive episode of The Real Stuff, Emma Paige finally shares more about her side of the podcast drama that has taken over TikTok, Instagram, and the podcasting world. As the co-founder of the hit podcast Unhinged, Emma opens up about how the show began, the rapid rise in popularity, and the shocking moment she was locked out, ghosted, and ultimately erased from her own platform.

What started as a promising creative partnership turned into a public breakup filled with legal battles, emotional tolls, and questions about ownership, fairness, and the cost of internet fame. Emma takes us behind the scenes of her fallout with her former co-host, the controversial launch of Unbothered, and what she’s learned along the way about business, boundaries, and betrayal.

She reflects on launching her new podcast Too Much, the strength it took to rebuild from scratch, and why she believes it’s so important to speak out — not just for herself, but for other creators navigating similar conflicts in today’s fast-paced digital landscape.

If you’ve been following this podcast drama or are curious about what really happens behind the scenes of a viral business feud, you do not want to miss this raw and revealing conversation.
