Reverie—a word that evokes dreamy introspection, yet not all daydreams are serene. Sometimes, when our minds wander, they lead us into shadowy corners filled with intrusive thoughts, fears, and questions about the darker aspects of humanity. These unsettling reveries can spiral into haunting curiosity about the crimes, mysteries, and injustices that mark our world.
Paige shares stories of unspeakable crimes and their lasting impacts. She also speaks with survivors, victims' loved ones, and fellow storytellers, creating a space where the weight of these stories is honored with empathy and respect. Occasionally, Paige ventures into the realm of haunting, paranormal tales that blur the line between reality and nightmare.
Her goal is to illuminate the darkness, bringing attention to injustices, overlooked details, and the human stories woven into each crime. This podcast is not only about telling stories—it's about understanding them, confronting them, and, hopefully, learning from them.

184. Hijacked: Cassie Ventura’s Testimony and the Neuroscience of Survival
In this episode, we'll be talking about Cassie Ventura and trauma. Cassie is someone the world first met beside one of the most powerful names in music and business. From the outside, everything looked glamorous, even like something to aspire to. But what unfolded behind closed doors was something much darker. As Cassie bravely took the stand years later, now a mother and no longer silent, she revisited the pain she suffered and the years it took to reclaim her voice. We're going to go through her lawsuit from 2023, her testimony in May of 2025, what abuse really does to the brain, and why the question shouldn’t be “Why didn’t she leave?” but “What kept her from feeling like she could?”
