In this powerful episode of Casa De Confidence, Julie sits down with author, veteran, and recovery advocate Eva Nevarez St. John, whose award-winning memoir, When Tough Cookie Crumbles, tells the true story of friendship, murder, manipulation, addiction, and healing.

Eva shares the story behind her friendship with Janice, how their lives ran in parallel through military service in the 1970s, and the devastating events surrounding Janice’s disappearance and murder. She opens up about falling into the orbit of a sociopath herself, navigating unresolved trauma, struggling with addiction, and what it really takes to rebuild your life when the story you planned is shattered.

This conversation is raw, honest, and deeply compassionate. Together, Julie and Eva explore: how predators isolate and groom, why smart, strong, independent women are not immune, the heavy weight of shame and self-blame, and the freedom that comes from telling
