Hello fam, quick episode letting you guys know how/why I’m finally truly surrendering to what is, the reality of my situations, my addictions, my codependency, my grief, and entering rehab. I wanted to record this to let anyone else struggling to know how okay and NECESSARY it is to get help if you’ve realized for the last time that you can’t do it on your own. There is a way out and you don’t need to do it alone ❤️. Love you all so much

WhatIn this bonus episode, I decided to openly share what’s truly working for me as I’m in this current process right now. I talk about tangible steps to begin to create an exit plan, and ultimately what needs to be done within us to not just break this trauma bond — but alll of them. Because we all know how easy it is to go find a new one with a new face! Do you like the show? Please leave a review.

This episode is full details and warning signs I ignored of my most recent relationship that winded up being with yet another person with highly narcissistic traits. I want you guys to understand that even with years of healing work and self awareness around this stuff, you still can easily fall into these relationships. That’s why FOLLOWING YOUR GUT AND RED FLAGS IS SO BEYOND CRUCIAL! It’s hard, you may have slip ups like me, but you will find yourself spending less and less time investing in these energy vampires 🧛‍♂️. I love you guys https://youtu.be/4aNuph5gRMQ << Highly recommend you play this song on repeat if you’re going through this!

This episode is about the seemingly ever growing current societal trend to try and label EVERYONE as a narcissist. Sure, there’s definite upsides of gaining awareness on these topics/labels - but are we over-doing it? Is it a new form of self abandonment to always be pointing the finger? 🤔 Do you like the show?

Hi fam! A lot of this episode is about my Mom’s abrupt recent passing and how I’m coping with that/how I’m getting back on track with healing in the wake of tragedy/grief. Sometimes things happen in life that can throw us off track with focusing on bettering ourselves. I also touch on the Holistic Psychologists new book, and the power of the mind/the placebo effect in regards to healing. Love you guys ❤️

Hi guys! I’m alive! Just wanted to catch you up with why I’ve been MIA, and talk about why chemistry alone is NOT the recipe for a healthy dating dynamic.

On this episode I’m going into the power of conscious inner dialogue and combatting opposing views/opinions a instead of making them mean so much to us. As individuals with codependent habits, we often will take on other people’s opinions and make it mean SO MUCH more than necessary. Thus creating internal misery, and even holding us back from our dreams and true desires. CUT THAT SH*T OUT! I love you guys ❤️❤️❤️ Do you like the show?
