In this fiery episode, I dive into the frustration of dealing with copycats—people who slide into my DMs asking for advice or tips, only to turn around and pass off my ideas as their own. With no credit, no acknowledgment, and a complete lack of respect, it’s a game I’m done playing. Tune in as I share how I’ve learned to cut off these idea thieves for good and the emotional toll it’s taken.

Spoiler alert: If you’re copying me, you’re not getting away with it. Single White Female vibes, but in a totally different way.

I reflect on my time in boarding school under a nun who was both my principal and teacher—and who made it clear she hated me.

From blatant favoritism toward my brother to relentless corporal punishment, she used her position of power to single me out.

After a therapy session, I found myself ruminating for hours, unpacking the impact of those years.

This is a raw look at how childhood experiences of cruelty and injustice can linger long after we leave them behind.

After a therapy session that left me reflecting deeply, I decided to record my thoughts and process what was going on in my head.

I discuss the ongoing challenges with love, weight loss, and the feeling of being rejected in romantic relationships.

I also share insights from therapy, where I came to realize the dysfunction within my family and how being raised by a narcissist shaped my past and present moves in life.

I married a narcissist and talk about about that dynamic.

My first therapy sessions. I uncovered deep childhood traumas and how they shaped my struggles with anxiety and the connection to PTSD (CPTSD).

I reflect on growing up feeling invalidated by my family, and how therapy helped me recognize these patterns. I share emotional moments from the sessions, my journey toward understanding the impact of these past experiences, and how I’m working through them now.

Tune in as I talk about confronting my history and beginning the healing process.

Tune in for a mix of frustration, reflection, and gratitude.

After returning from South Africa, the jet lag hits hard, and unexpected delays make travel even more challenging.

I share the chaos of missing flights, a long layover, and the strange situation with a married man who keeps making advances.

Despite it all, there’s gratitude for such things—like eBay sales on vacation, thoughtful gestures from friends, and the joy of getting back to work right after a long trip.

Join me as I reflect on the ups and downs of travel, life, and staying grounded amidst the whirlwind.
