I Know I’m Crazy with NAJA HALL

In this revealing interview, I sit down with Joe Francis, the controversial founder of Girls Gone Wild, who opens up about his tumultuous personal life and the deep pain of being estranged from his daughters for the past six years. After his split from ex-partner Abby Wilson, Joe now lives in Mexico, while Abby has relocated with the children to Oklahoma. Joe shares his perspective on what he believes to be a pattern of mental illness, abuse, and false accusations made by Abby, including claims of s--ual abuse against him. Joe also discusses his experiences with parental alienation and what he feels has been an unjust court battle. Please note that all these statements are Joe's personal views and allegations, and the content of this interview is not intended to support any particular side but rather to allow Joe to share his story. I sat down with Joe, not as his ally, but as a journalist, offering a platform for him to tell his experience.

Watch this episode on Youtube Today, I'm catching up with past guest Coach Ralphiel Toulon, MCPC, SuperMom, Certified Life Coach, and Personal Trainer. It’s been two years since Coach Ralph and I first spoke, and during that time, she has experienced some significant life changes. When we first spoke, Coach Ralph was in the midst of her marriage, navigating the complexities of her husband’s diagnosis with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). This led to a lot of challenges, but at the time, he had shown vast improvement and a real commitment to becoming better—specifically, learning how to express empathy in a way that wasn’t harmful to those around him. Because of that progress, she decided to continue the marriage and even launched a program aimed at helping other women in relationships with narcissists who were determined to make it work. In our hour-long conversation, we dive deep into co-parenting, step-parenting, what it’s really like being married to a narcissist, and the emotional toll it takes when things don’t go as hoped. Coach Ralph candidly shares her journey and what happens when everything falls flat despite your best efforts. Follow Ralph : instagram.com/ralphthecoach Sponsored by NajaHallBeauty and VIPStepmom
