In the first half, writer Rachel Corbett discussed the evolution and psychology behind criminal profiling, tracing its roots from the 1800s to modern times, and also delved into various serial killers like Ed Gein. She explained that criminal profiling began as an attempt to understand the psychological makeup of offenders alongside crime scene analysis, citing the infamous Jack the Ripper case as one of the earliest examples. Sherlock Holmes author Arthur Conan Doyle was asked to create a profile of Jack the Ripper, she noted.
Corbett shared a personal connection to the topic, recounting her experience with a man she knew as a child who later committed murder-suicide. She described her efforts to understand the contradiction between the man's gentle demeanor and his violent actions, emphasizing the irrational nature of such crimes. The conversation also addressed the distinction between serial killers and mass shooters. Mass shooters are often motivated by a desire for maximum impact rather than the intimate, sadistic pleasure serial killers seek. Advances in technology, such as DNA analysis and cell phone tracking, have made it harder for serial killers to evade capture today. She cited the recent arrest of the Long Island Serial Killer suspect as an example of a breakthrough via DNA evidence.
Exploring the notorious case of Ted Bundy and the evolution of investigative techniques, she described Bundy as a "famously charismatic serial killer" who exploited his appearance and charm to evade capture across multiple states. His cross-country crimes exposed the lack of inter-jurisdictional communication, prompting the FBI Behavioral Science Unit to enhance information sharing. Pioneering psychiatrist Dorothy Lewis studied serial killers like Bundy to understand the complex interplay of factors behind violent behavior. She challenged the simplistic label of "evil," proposing a "toxic trifecta" of brain injury, childhood trauma, and psychiatric disorders as key contributors to such violence, Corbett reported.

In the latter half, angel channel, healer, and teacher Corin Grillo shared her transformative experiences with angels, and how they can assist us in our lives. As a licensed psychotherapist battling severe depression, she described a pivotal moment when a miraculous encounter with angels shifted her perspective. "I saw a bird with a broken wing turn into three healthy birds and fly away," she recounted, emphasizing the profound presence she felt during this event. The experience catalyzed her transition from traditional therapy to integrating angelic healing and intuition into her work.
Grillo views angels as more than just messengers. "They are master awakeners and can supremely disrupt status quo, your usual programming. They can deliver you directly to your deeper heart, your deeper mission," she remarked, adding that angels transcend religious boundaries and serve as a universal support system connected to the greater spirit, regardless of individual belief systems. She also discussed the concept of the "holy guardian angel," describing it as a deeply intimate spiritual presence akin to a "spiritual lover" or "a new GPS inside of your soul" that guides individuals toward their purpose and hidden gifts.
In her work teaching people to communicate with angels, she detailed the importance of learning to "be better receivers" of angelic messages, which often come subtly --through feelings, words, visions, or nature's signs. She described her approach as experimental, encouraging listeners to "put your doubt aside, and then move forward based on that intuition that you received." She also touched on working with angels to attract abundance and financial miracles through an 11-day practice involving the classical 72 angels.
