About

Ex-Wives Undercover is a powerful true crime podcast that exposes the hidden world of charming con artists, narcissists, and master manipulators—men who cheat, scam and gaslight their way through relationships, leaving devastation behind. Told by the women who lived it, these are the real, raw stories of survival, sisterhood and taking back power.

Our stories have been featured on Netflix’s Love Con Revenge and Paramount+’s Don’t Date Brandon, bringing even more attention to the dangers of toxic relationships and the strength of the women who escape them.

This isn’t just about the con—it’s about the comeback.

Listeners will gain insight into the red flags of emotional abuse, learn how to spot a scammer before it's too late, and hear firsthand how women rebuilt their lives after betrayal. Whether you’ve been through it, know someone who has, or just love true crime with a deeper purpose—this podcast is your reminder that knowledge is power, and healing is possible.

Athena lives in Washington State and is married with four children—three girls and a boy! When she's not busy, she loves to escape to their cabin in central Washington for a little fun in the sun. She loves to sing, garden and cook. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom and podcaster, she owned a successful lash extensions and skincare boutique in Kirkland.

Fun fact: Athena tried out for American Idol in the early 2000s and won a golden ticket to Hollywood. She also danced for a minor league football team in Seattle for one season.

Amber Rasmussen

Co-Host of Ex-Wives Undercover & Host of Next Realm

Amber lives in Oregon and is a doting dog mama to her Pomeranian/Pekingese pup, Boogie. When she's not busy with her full-time job as a global communications professional, you can find her decorating her new house, exploring nature, or spending time with friends and family.

Fun fact: Amber loves a challenge, so she took several years of Japanese and spent almost a month exploring the country. She also had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be in a movie with legendary actor Harrison Ford as his co-star's body double and stand-in!
