That time I tried non-monogamy — and learned it wasn’t for me.This episode isn’t about blame or bitterness. It’s about curiosity, self-trust, and what happens when you override your nervous system in the name of being “open-minded.”I didn’t fail at non-monogamy. I learned what self-abandonment feels like — and why alignment matters more than structure.

Andddd I’m back 🙂 And hopefully not going anywhere again for the next two and a half years.

This episode is a bit of a life update and a heart check in. Going through another break up has reminded me just how strong I actually am, how incredible my friends are, and how much resilience I’ve built over the years through various forms of therapy, self work, and hard lessons.

I talk about grief that comes with endings, rebuilding your sense of self, leaning on your support system, and why healing isn’t linear but it is worth it. If you’re navigating change, heartbreak, or just finding your feet again, this one’s for you 🤍

On this episode I share about my journey into therapy, my downfall exiting therapy long term and why I am such a huge advocate for staying in it, even when things are good.

Sharing my thoughts on social media and how we can use our platforms to be a little bit less shit. Social media bullying has major and significant impacts on people's mental health and we can all afford to be a little less judgemental and a little more kind. A person with an addiction, a disability, depression etc is still a person. Let's be less stereotypical and more open minded. Just because you haven't been through or experienced something does not put you higher up the food chain.
