passion is in, nonchalance is out.

genuinely would not wish this on my worst enemy - but we ride on ! i touch on how my romantic relationships have been effected by my ptsd, and the f*cked up need to feel seen and appreciated and obsessed over. 

platonic love is underrated. plus, let's normalize friendships in the lesbian community that aren't romantic pls 

abandonment wounds, fear of being alone, and a whole lot of love discussed in this one. 

In this episode I talk about labeling relationships and the importance those labels can hold. Through a personal story with admittedly mistakes made on my end, I also encourage people (..myself) not to beat around the bush when it comes to outlining the type of relationship they want. 

Emma talks about the pros and cons that come with growing up fast. She talks about the complexities that arise when working with her inner child, and how she's been ignoring her for far too long.  Being called an old soul is often seen as a compliment... but are you an old soul by choice? Or are some people forced into this role?

After taking time off to get settled into her new life in NYC, Emma talks about how she's been and what she's up to. She reflects on her relationships, both platonic and romantic, and admits that she has a tendency to trauma bond with others. Having been through intense trauma in her life, it became easy for her to connect with others who had been through similar experiences. While that isn't inherently bad, Emma talks about the dangers of this type of connection and shares how these relationships took a turn for the worst. 

Emma is back after taking a couple of months off to talk about something she's recently learned a lot about through personal experience: emotional tolerance. After a couple  months full of messy feelings, an intense schedule, and a little too much fun, she reflects on her new ability to dive even deeper to uncover her truest desires and thoughts. 

Life gives us constant reminders that other people's actions only reflect their own inner demons. With the year anniversary of her father's suicide coming up soon, Emma digs into her feelings of guilt associated with the event. She also talks about the stages of grief she's worked through so far, and reflected on how far she's come this year. 

tw: suicide 

Being an artist/creative, Emma's had no trouble being visible to people. But upon reflection, she realizes that she hasn't always been seen. She spends this episode uncovering the distinct differences between these two ideas and criticizing where society usually places value.
