  • Brandi 3.0


    Friends, in this episode i get very real about my struggles with mental health and motherhood. The things i say were terrifying to say out loud, and i spent a lot of time going back and forth on whether or not i edit it out. i decided to keep it. From the beginning of this journey, i have wanted this to be a safe space to talk about the heavy, loneliest parts of life and none of us will get there if we dont acknowledge the parts that scare us.

    My son is aware of the things i say, and he understands that none of it has anything to do with him. He also doesnt agree with most of it, and thinks I'm being too hard on myself, which is another reason why i decided to keep it in. i think it shows how deep the struggles of parenting run, and how our biggest mistakes arent always reflected in our childrens eyes.....or hearts.

    grief, relationships, motherhood, how we can move through the challenges and why positivity isn't always an option.


    This will be a 3 episode series filled with deep talks, some tears, and a lot of laughs, because if you can't laugh through your pain, whats the point?

    For everyone who needs a break sometimes, because we don't do grief "right"


    Welcome to season 2! And welcome my friend, Brandi. the point was to talk more about the grief we feel when you have chronic illness. we.....didnt get far. listen to hear more about Brandi's experience with bipolar, navigating the medical system, and jokes that probably shouldnt be as funny as they are.
