In this episode, the Legit Chix talk about their holidays, say goodbye to 2022, and bid a bittersweet goodbye (at least for now) to the podcast. We thank you for listening and being a part of our Legit Chix family these past 2 years. It has been our true honor getting to bring you episodes and guests that we hope enriched your life or made you laugh or simply made you think about something a little differently. In the words of the song made famous by Rodgers and Hammerstein in the Sound of Music, “so long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, and adieu” and, as always, we hope you keep it legit.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, right? That’s what all the songs and movies this time of year tell us . . . but, for some, the holidays are incredibly challenging. The sights, sounds, and even the smells of the holidays tend to bring up memories of loved ones lost or relationships ended or even being stuck in a relationship that is not fulfilling your needs. Holiday grief affects a lot of us, so we invite you into our conversation with Sam Daily, a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, to have a conversation about grief and some tips about how best to manage it. This conversation is raw and thought-provoking. And if you are struggling with grief right now, please reach out to family or a professional to help guide you through it. The Legit Chix are sending you all the love this holiday season. Please make sure to take care of YOU.

And for those living with or recovering from cancer, Sam is involved with some really cool organizations that can provide for free fly fishing trips for a weekend getaway that is all about you! See the links below.

Episode 46:  Bone Deep (The Betsy Faria Murder) with Joel Schwartz

The Legit Chix were honored to sit down to speak with Attorney Joel Schwartz to discuss his book Bone Deep: Untangling the Betsy Faria Murder and the most insane case we have ever heard or read about.  The murder was featured on 6 different Dateline episodes, was made into a hit podcast narrated by Keith Morrison, “The Thing About Pam”, and eventually turned into an NBC dark comedy series with the same name starring Renee Zellweger as Pam Hupp and Josh Duhamel as Joel Schwartz.  We dive into the challenges Schwartz encountered while trying to defend and then free Russ Faria for the murder of his wife, and we get the behind the scenes scoop on what it was like on the set of the TV series.  If you are a true crime junkie, this is the episode for you!

Book:  Bone Deep: Untangling the Betsy Faria Murder Case; available at Joel’s website, Amazon, or (our favorite) your independent local bookstore!
