About this listen

Bloodstains & Breakthroughs is a true crime and trauma-healing podcast hosted by former Crime Scene Investigator Christina Hester. This podcast takes listeners behind real crime scenes to explore forensic science, biohazard cleanup, and the emotional impact of working trauma.

Through anonymized real-life stories, forensic education, and trauma-informed insight, Christina reveals what TV gets wrong — and what really happens after the crime scene tape comes down. Each episode blends true crime storytelling with mental health awareness, CPTSD recovery, and personal growth.

    The Case That Changed Me Forvever Pt. 1
    Jan 31 2026

    First podcast episode energy: unfiltered, a little messy, and very real.

    This podcast isn’t a lecture. It’s me talking to you like a friend. The kind of friend who’s been through it, learned a few things, and isn’t pretending to have it all polished.

    We talk growth, grief, grit, and the stuff people usually skip. And yes, there are bloopers at the end because perfection is overrated and laughter is part of the healing.

    Press play, stay a while, and don’t skip the ending.
