Do you feel responsible for other people's feelings, apologize too often, or have a hard time saying no?

These are signs you might be... a people pleaser.

People pleasing can be dangerous to our self-worth, values, and ultimately how we show up in the world and get what we want and deserve.

Part two:

On my mother's 63rd birthday, my family and I visited her gravesite.

It was in this moment, after not having been there in years, that I realized I had learned SO much in the last 8 years since losing my mother to suicide.

From being angry with her, to forgiving her, to learning about her, to thanking her.

What I know for sure: Traumatic events can either negatively affect you, or evolve you. I'm proud to say I have grown immensely during this time and in this episode, I break down my 10 personal life lessons about life, relationships, people, and trauma.

You'll want to listen if:

You find yourself not knowing how to navigate difficult times, if you think life will NEVER get better, OR you have someone in your life who seems to always impede on your mental health and cause you anger or rage.

This was a collaborative episode with the Amanda Kippert and Jenna Brandl of Toxic Podcast where I share my experience with mandatory arrest laws.

Did you know that in over half the states in the U.S., mandatory arrest laws denote at least one, if not both parties, will be arrested when police respond to a domestic violence call? As they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and though these laws were originally designed in the '80s to take the burden off a survivor of pressing charges on the scene, they're actually doing the opposite in some cases and resulting in survivors being the ones arrested. Who knew that abusive partners could lie so well? (Oh, we did.) Now these laws are a barrier for many survivors to call the police...

In their true crime podcast, domestic violence journalist and advocate Amanda Kippert along with co-host and comic relief Jenna Brandl shine a spotlight on the men who have chosen to abuse more than just their male privilege. They are working to end domestic violence, abuse, sexual assault, workplace sexual harassment and general male f*****y, and call it like they see it. Don't worry, sometimes they'll make you laugh, too.
