Manic & Medicated

TW: SA will be brought up throughout this episode as a reference - not details about SA itself.

Why do people ask such invasive questions? 

I'm sharing my experiences regarding uncomfortable situations with strangers that will leave you thinking, "What the fuck?" & also have you laughing at my expense. My IG followers have submitted their own uncomfortable run-ins with strangers - don't worry, I'll be giving my two cents. While that's not uncomfortable enough for me... I will be explaining my own sexuality... why I think labels are really... honestly... fraudulent. This is a topic I’ve never talk about in great length… because quite frankly it makes me uncomfyyyy. So buckle up hoes. We're really getting to know each other.

Enjoy.

** NEW GUEST ALERT **
The amount of women struggling with fertility is very real. Gina, who was diagnosed with PCOS, details her experiences trying to conceive & uses her background as a nurse to help educate us on what the f*ck is really going on. She's answering all your questions while also taking a deep dive on topics.

Gina would also like to add (when asking for labs/testing) if you have PCOS ask your doctor to check on your Sugar, Glucose level, A1C (average glucose level over three months), and Insulin Resistance. If your glucose is not being broken down and you are insulin resistant - this could be a reason for not being able to lose weight. Which also leaves potential to become prediabetic. *Gina is a lean mass person with PCOS and non-insulin resistant (which is not the norm, it's more common to be insulin resistant).* The reason most women with PCOS have trouble with losing weight and gaining weight is because of their insulin resistance. Not being able to breakdown glucose turns into fat - instead of fuel for the body.

Please speak with your doctor when it comes to anything we are talking about in this episode, keep asking questions & be your own advocate!!

NEW GUEST ALERT - you don't want to miss out on this episode!!!

My very close friend Adria comes on to spill some tea and educate us on what it's like to be in a deeply disturbing relationship. It's going to feel like you're literally hanging out with us and we're not holding back.
In this episode we're taking a deep dive into her struggles and what it was like facing her nightmare for the last time. Not only will we be ripping the lid off of some bullshit but we'll be touching upon SEVERAL topics - shame surrounding abuse, social anxiety, court cases, generational trauma, exposing a very well known company, dating felons, gym stalkers, navigating dating after trauma, shoplifting stories, comedic topics ... and so much more.

If you're going to listen to any episode - it's this one.
Enjoy. xoxo c.

We are completely unhinged. I ended things with someone after we were casually talking for a couple months - he was NOT HAPPY. We're talking about trauma responses, what house of Gryffindor we belong to and why you should never tell me what the fuck to do. Also, Alex Cooper and Jackie Schimmel gave me diarrhea so bad I needed a diaper. ALSO FUCK COVID AND STUDENT LOANS. Enjoy. xoxo, c.

*** TW: There will be talks about suicide in this episode - based on coping skills and not the actual act. Mature Audiences Only. ***
I'm over caffeinated with a twist of anxiety. I'll be discussing Sunday scaries, meeting someone unexpected, that time I almost got engaged... why I joke about killing myself and potential guests that will be joining me in future episodes. We are mentally sound, but spiritually fucked up. Enjoy. xoxo c.

p.s. I know my audio sounds whack - I was high and eating the mic.
