Crybaby

Hi guys,

a much more lighthearted and short episode this week following some rather intense topics.

Fair do's to anyone who goes on love island it will never be me. Snoring? i'd rather pull out my own eardrums.

Long live Josh and Mimii.

Enjoy,

Hi guys,

i am so sure i am not alone in this sentiment;-

I am TERRIFIED of men. Gender based violence is rife and rising and as a young woman i live in fear for my life, to put it plainly, because the chance i will become a victim of violence at the hands of a man seems almost certain.

i am already a victim of abuse. 97% of women report that they have been victims of sexual harassment or assault. all of my close friends are victims of abuse, rape, assault, or harassment. Something has to change and this starts by talking about it.

This episode i discuss the recent discourse surrounding femicide, gender-based violence, toxic masculinity, the patriarchy, the lot. And i am really only talking about the UK, a fairly progressive country, let alone the rest of the world.

If you are in danger or worried for the safety of yourself or others, please reach out. Female livelihood is in danger, safety is a basic human right.

Another vulnerable episode for me but I have had 4 years worth of experience of trying to recover from self-harm and i want to share my wisdom with those who need it, particularly if you don't have access to DBT.

Attempting to recover from self-harm is one of the most challenging things l've ever undertaken, I am still trying to this day! I may as well put it on my CV as a special skill. But every hurdle I get over I learn a new lesson. You are too hot and sexy to hurt yourself people.

In this ep I talk about honest truths, figuring out why, recovery isn't linear, and my coping mechanisms. I know this is a niche so I have got multiple upcoming ep's planned to move away from mental illness rhetoric and promise not to bore people with self harm for 6 months now.

DISCLAIMER: As usual, I am not a professional. this is my personal experience and as I mention over and over again everyone who suffers with self harming should reach out to a medical professional. Helpful links in the description of episode 2.

Hi guys,

episode threeeeee having a big old chit chat about what the actual HELL am i doing with my life rn? Should I just have a baby?

Mid-twenties can be such a confusing time in your life and i am feeling it recently. I feel like i am a total mess hurtling through life with no idea where i am going. I am sylvia plath stood at the foot of her fig tree.

In this ep i talk about do i want my life to mean something? does it have to mean something? children? fun mum? entering a career at this age and be in the world of work for 40 years?

I'm sure I'm not alone,

Kisses.

Hi Guys,

This episode is quite self explanatory. I hope someone listens to this and feels heard, or learns something new and their empathy expands. Talking is healing.

Below are some links to advice and information surrounding self harm if you need.

Hurting yourself will not help you get better, you will grow out of love not out of punishment.

Hello world and welcome to the first episode of the Crybaby podcast.

In this episode I will explain a little about the birth of my baby, what to expect and why the F am I doing this. This podcast is incredibly important and special to me as I attempt to make sense of the trials and tribulations of my early 20's by chatting bollocks about some topics very close to my heart.

Kisses, G xx
