Welcome to Raw Reflections
This is where curiosity gets loud, opinions get honest, and no topic has to fit neatly into one box. Raw Reflections is a collection of deep dives, personal essays, cultural commentary, and the thoughts I probably spent way too long analyzing before turning them into a blog post.
Here, I write about true crime and courtroom drama, psychology and human behavior, motherhood and identity, relationships, pop culture, sports, media, and the experiences that shape the way we see the world. Some posts are heavily researched. Others are deeply personal. A lot of them are both.
If you like thoughtful analysis, strong opinions, uncomfortable questions, and writing that refuses to pretend life is simple—you’re in the right place.
The Murder of Dan Markel: Inside the Adelson Family Conspiracy
What started as a bitter custody battle spiraled into one of Florida’s most infamous murder-for-hire plots.

Here’s how prosecutors proved their case with wiretaps, money trails, and one unforgettable undercover sting.
A Double Tragedy: The Rise and Fall of Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy’s story is more than a headline. It’s a tragedy layered in guilt, potential, grief, and silence. In this blog, I explore the double loss—of the man who died in the crash and of Kyren himself. I reflect on the mental health crisis among young men, the crushing pressure placed on athletes, and the pain that lingers when a life ends before accountability can begin. This isn’t about justifying. It’s about understanding. And remembering that Kyren, like all of us, was human.
