Dr. Linda Varisco had it all — a wealthy upbringing in Long Island, a thriving chiropractic business, and a picture-perfect life. But when her marriage to a crack-addicted, cheating husband imploded, her world spiraled out of control. In a shocking twist, she got entangled with a criminal enterprise running through her business, leading to federal charges for conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud. In this entertaining and unfiltered interview, Dr. Varisco reveals how she went from living in luxury to serving a year and a day in federal prison — and how she rebuilt her life from the ground up. #PrisonStories #TrueCrimeInterviews #WhiteCollarCrime #RedemptionStory #WomenInPrison #TrueCrimePodcast #PrisonLife #lockedinwithianbick Buy her books: Book 1: https://www.amazon.com/Girl-Million-Dollar-Smile/dp/B0DQHB6RF6 Book 2: https://www.amazon.com/Journey-Right-Million-Dollar-Smile/dp/B0FB3QNQYW/ref=pd_bxgy_thbs_d_sccl_1/145-3040682-0764748?pd_rd_w=D8Nbx&content-id=amzn1.sym.dcf559c6-d374-405e-a13e-133e852d81e1&pf_rd_p=dcf559c6-d374-405e-a13e-133e852d81e1&pf_rd_r=3YCY59SGYR34T4NQT3WQ&pd_rd_wg=BLygp&pd_rd_r=f534e269-9786-4ee8-bb4b-aec22fae8cac&pd_rd_i=B0FB3QNQYW&psc=1 Follow her: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thelifeofmrpeaches?lang=en Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Get 50% off the Magic Mind offer here: https://www.magicmind.com/IANB50. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps:
