Just Mands The Podcast

A few months ago I asked my followers on Instagram what they wanted to hear more of on the podcast. Someone recommended that I do an episode on navigating young motherhood and DAMN I am so happy she did. This episode is super conversational, maybe a bit rambly, but jam-packed with information and things that I really feel helped me during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. If you're currently pregnant or a new young mama don't hesitate to DM me with any questions or if you just need a friend! Linking everything I talked about down below:

Today I sit down with Tori from The Retired Party Girl to talk all things sobriety, her journey with it, and unpack how our society views and uses alcohol. Tori started an online membership program aimed to empower and educate womxn about alcohol and "big alcohol" marketing culture. Her membership and Instagram account also act as a safe place for people to share their stories, fears, and accomplishments in sobriety. We also get into how alcohol plays a role in college & hookup culture, traveling sober with people who are drinking, and really dive into the stigmas surrounding sobriety and how it truly is a spectrum.

Friends, if you haven't listened to Part 1 of my interview with Molly, go there first, and then come back to this one — it will give you a lot of context. In this episode, Molly shares her journey with mental health, how her diagnosis's changed over the years, finally accepting that she had Bipolar 2 (she gets into what the difference is between 1 & 2), how dating & her sex life were impacted by her mental health, navigating relationships with a mental health illness, and so much more. I am in awe of her transparency and think her story is so inspiring because it really illustrates the ups and downs, struggles and highs, confusions and moments of clarity that is mental health. I also think this episode can relate to a lot of individuals struggling with any sort of mental health illness. If you enjoy this episode, please give me a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, as it really helps people find my show!

I cannot stress enough how absolutely jam-packed this episode is with advice, insight, perspective, and beautiful conversation. I sit down with my therapist Jordan Urban, who is based in Boulder, CO, to chat about how she came to be a therapist, how she blends eastern and western thinking into her approach, the importance of listening, and how she "shuts off" her therapist brain after sessions. She also answers some of you guys' instagram questions relating to navigating COVID & the holidays such as how to deal with in-laws/parents who take over your home, politically charged conversations with your family, how to talk to a loved one who may be struggling and not want to open up, and how to cope with a break-up during COVID without being able to meet people. This is truly an episode for everyone. Leave a rating & review if you enjoyed!

In this episode, I sit down with 17 year old Sadie Sutton from the She Persisted Podcast to recount her experience with mental health issues. At 13 years old, Sadie suffered from severe depression and anxiety and spent a year and a half in intensive care treatment. We chat about her success with DBT, how her mental health issues impacted her parents and siblings, the importance of recognizing adolescent mental health issues, social media, cancel culture, and how to identify mental health issues in teenagers. I think this is a really important conversation for us to have and am so happy Sadie was willing to share her story. We also chatted about pregnancy, mental health, and blogging over on her podcast, so go check me out over there (our episode goes live 12/18/20)!
