Everyone’s talking about Netflix’s new series Wayward — but for me, it’s not just entertainment. It’s my life story.In this deeply personal episode, I break down what’s real and what’s made for TV in the hit series — because I actually lived it. Long before Wayward became a pop culture obsession, I attended CEDU, the original “therapeutic boarding school” that inspired this world. I graduated from its first campus, endured its methods, and witnessed firsthand how a program built on healing was actually rooted in Synanon, a 1960s cult known for psychological control and emotional abuse.Watching Wayward sent me into full-blown PTSD — not because it’s fiction, but because it’s frighteningly accurate. If you’ve been bingeing the series and find yourself wondering how much of it could really happen… this episode is for you.💡 In this episode, you’ll hear:    •    What was real in Wayward — and what was dramatized for TV    •    The shocking history of CEDU, the program that inspired an entire industry of “troubled teen” schools    •    How the Synanon cult shaped the foundation of emotional-growth education    •    The disturbing practices that students endured in the name of therapy    •    The lasting trauma — and what healing looks like when you finally tell the truth--- --- ---PLEASE LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE, AND GIVE US A 5-STAR REVIEW!:  ratethispodcast.com/missunderstood Become a Patreon Member: https://www.patreon.com/c/MissUnderstoodwithRachelUchitelShop Miss Understood Merch https://missumerch.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Rachel on Instagram!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/racheluchitelnyc/?hl=enFollow Rachel on TikTok! https://www.tiktok.com/@itsracheluchitelExecutive Producer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠George Carmona Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/miss-understood-with-rachel-uchitel/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

He wasn’t just flying for Pablo Escobar anymore — he was running an empire in the sky.By the mid-1980s, TJ Dominguez had gone from smuggling weed by boat to commanding planes stuffed with thousands of kilos of cocaine, streaming into South Florida under the Medellín Cartel’s watch. At the height of his power, TJ was making twenty million dollars a month, building an empire of speedboats, luxury cars, and even his own Bahamian hotel-turned-airstrip to keep the operation alive.But every fortune has its cracks. The DEA was circling, the deals were getting riskier, and one wrong move could mean prison — or worse.Now, in Part Two of this exclusive three-part series, TJ reveals the scale of the cartel’s cocaine business, how he gained Escobar’s trust, and the close calls that nearly ended it all.🎧 Don’t miss Part Two of this unbelievable saga.

September 11th is a day that forever changed the world — and for me, it is deeply personal. I lost my fiancé on that day, and each year I reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of the FDNY, who lost 343 of their own in the line of duty.In this special episode of Miss Understood, I sit down with FDNY Commissioner Robert S. Tucker, the 35th Fire Commissioner of New York City. Commissioner Tucker’s story is unique — he never served as a firefighter, but his lifelong connection to the department and his new role leading the FDNY give him a profound perspective on legacy, culture, and the future of public safety.Together, we talk about what it means to inherit the weight of the FDNY’s history, the department’s priorities moving forward, and how the legacy of 9/11 continues to shape its mission today. After our conversation, Commissioner Tucker gave me the honor of visiting one of New York’s firehouses — a moment that left me humbled, emotional, and more connected than ever to the sacrifice made by these heroes.What You’ll Hear in This Episode: • The personal and professional journey that led Robert Tucker to become Fire Commissioner • How the FDNY continues to honor and carry forward the legacy of 9/11 • Challenges and changes facing the department under new leadership • The human side of the FDNY — brotherhood, resilience, and generational service • My personal reflections on visiting a firehouse where nearly every member was lost on 9/11This episode is both a tribute and a reminder: remembering isn’t passive — it’s about carrying forward the lessons, courage, and humanity of that day.If this conversation moved you, please subscribe, rate, and share this episode to honor the memory of 9/11 and the ongoing resilience of the FDNY.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/miss-understood-with-rachel-uchitel/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

What happens when the way the world sees you isn’t who you really are?Kaila Yu has lived many lives in the public eye: as a singer in the Asian American rock band Nylon Pink, a model gracing magazines like Maxim and FHM, and a journalist writing for Rolling Stone and The New York Times. But through it all, she’s wrestled with one truth — as an Asian woman, she was often fetishized, reduced to a stereotype, and misunderstood.Now, in her debut memoir Fetishized: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beauty, Kaila tells her story with unflinching honesty. From the pressures of modeling and music to the deeper cultural forces that sexualize and silence Asian women, her book is both a raw personal account and a powerful cultural critique.In this episode, Kaila opens up about why she wrote the book now, what it was like to revisit painful chapters of her past, and how she reclaimed her identity on her own terms.In this episode, you’ll hear:• What it feels like to be fetishized — and how those stereotypes show up in daily life• The impact of modeling and music on Kaila’s self-image• Why she says representation of Asian women in media still has a long way to go• The hardest chapters of her memoir to write — and why she included them• The healing, self-love, and cultural change she hopes Fetishized inspiresConnect with Kaila Yu:Instagram: @kailayuMemoir: Fetishized: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beauty — Available now wherever books are soldHit play — and step behind the headlines with Kaila Yu, a woman reclaiming her story in her own voice.--- --- ---PLEASE LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE, AND GIVE US A 5-STAR REVIEW!:  ratethispodcast.com/missunderstood Become a Patreon Member: https://www.patreon.com/c/MissUnderstoodwithRachelUchitelShop Miss Understood Merch https://missumerch.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Rachel on Instagram!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/racheluchitelnyc/?hl=enFollow Rachel on TikTok! https://www.tiktok.com/@itsracheluchitelExecutive Producer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠George Carmona Do you have show ideas, media requests or sponsorship opportunities?

What happens when one of the most recognizable voices in news walks away from the spotlight? Dylan Ratigan did just that.Best known as the fiery host of The Dylan Ratigan Show on MSNBC—and for his viral on-air rant that captured America’s frustration during the financial crisis—Dylan has always been a truth-teller unafraid to challenge systems of power. But after a bestselling book (Greedy Bastards) and years in front of the camera, he pivoted into a new chapter: entrepreneurship. Today, Dylan is building companies like Euforia Sneakers, a sustainable sneaker brand, and Reservations.com, a travel platform reshaping the way we book.In this raw and thought-provoking conversation, Dylan opens up about why he left media, what he sees in America’s political future, and why the fight for reform is personal. He also shares what it’s like to reinvent himself while staying true to the convictions that made him one of the most outspoken voices in journalism.Connect with Dylan Ratigan:Euforia SneakersReservations.comIf you’ve ever wondered what happens when a newsmaker becomes a changemaker, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.--- --- ---PLEASE LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE, AND GIVE US A 5-STAR REVIEW!:  ratethispodcast.com/missunderstood Become a Patreon Member: https://www.patreon.com/c/MissUnderstoodwithRachelUchitelShop Miss Understood Merch https://missumerch.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Rachel on Instagram!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/racheluchitelnyc/?hl=enFollow Rachel on TikTok! https://www.tiktok.com/@itsracheluchitelExecutive Producer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠George Carmona Do you have show ideas, media requests or sponsorship opportunities?
