In this chaotic, unfiltered, deliciously messy return to The Wildlife of Intrusive Thoughts, your host dives headfirst into the theme of second chances and savage comebacks—but make it historical. From enslaved revolutionaries to rebel queens and comeback kings, we’re talking underdogs who flipped the whole script.

You’ll meet:

• A Haitian general who made Napoleon sweat

• A grandma-turned-war-leader who said “Move, boys, I got this”

• An Indigenous president who came back from exile like a boss

• And more resistance legends you probably never heard of (but should’ve)

Hello everyone, and welcome to the first episode of The Wild Life Of Intrusive Thoughts. First, I would like to dedicate this episode to my Mother and Grandfather, who passed late last year. And secondly, Happy Black History Month. To start, the month off the first episode will dive into the crazy life of the first prolific African American female serial killer, Clementine Barnabet Ax-wielding cult member. But ... Did she do it? I was hoping you could give me your thoughts after the episode in the comments.
