ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, Ashley Rivera and Lori Obiedzinski dive into the Netflix documentary Unknown Number—a gripping look at a shocking cyberbullying case where high school students were tormented for years by texts from an anonymous sender. The twist? The FBI eventually traced the messages back to one of the students’ own parents.
Ashley and Lori unpack the layers behind the mother’s disturbing actions, exploring how childhood trauma, control, and a desire to pull her daughter closer may have fueled her behavior. They also reflect on the fallout that followed—an unraveling marriage, a devastated family, and a daughter left navigating the emotional wreckage.
From there, the conversation widens into a powerful discussion about teens, technology, and the hidden pressures they face. Ashley and Lori explore the importance of helping young people develop strong decision-making skills, self-trust, and the courage to prioritize their well-being over people-pleasing.
A raw, insightful, and timely conversation you won’t want to miss.
