Meet Maddie the Baddie-My Mad Scientist #JMarie #UnMuted #RelationalRants #WisdomInMadness

In this episode, I introduce you to a part of myself I call Maddie the Baddie, my internal mad scientist who sees patterns, analyzes everything, and protects me with psychological precision.This conversation was sparked by Gucci Mane’s latest Breakfast Club interview, where he speaks openly about mental health, healing, and the “mad man” who still lives inside him. We dig into:• The gift and curse of high-energy productivity• The healing power of naming the parts of ourselves• How protectors show up as intellect, humor, or aggression• Why exposure and storytelling release shame• The difference between chaotic madness and organized wisdomThis episode is my love letter to the misunderstood — real recognize real.Healing isn’t about extinguishing madness… it’s about taking responsibility for it.#mentalhealth #guccimane #madness #healingjourney #traumahealing, #protectorparts #unmuted #shamerecovery #burnout #creativity #selfawareness #blackwomentherapists #storytelling #GucciManeInterview, #alteregopsychology

The scent of clean closets, bacon with notes of bleach—always meant safety in my grandmother’s house. She lived by structure, discipline, and routine.

In this episode, I talk about how my grandmother held our world together after crisis. We didn’t always see eye to eye, but she’s been one of the most consistent people in my life.

This is a tribute to her, to the generations of women who parented through protection, and to the healing that comes when we recognize the love beneath the rules.

In this intimate and layered reflection, J. Marie unpacks what it means to be called — not just as a therapist, but as a soul who entered this world with a knowing. A knowing of what others need. A knowing of how to hold pain. A knowing she didn’t ask for but was born carrying. Drawing a bold parallel between herself and Jesus, she explores the weight of being deeply devoted to the healing of others — and the cost of that devotion.Like Jesus, she reflects on what it feels like to be needed, revered, misunderstood, and at times, stripped of her humanity. This episode isn’t about religion — it’s about resonance. About the emotional labor of being “the one people call.” About the sacred exhaustion that comes with being the safe place. And ultimately, about grace — the kind she’s learning to ask for, not just extend. If you’ve ever felt like the strong one, the healer, the therapist, the anchor — this one’s for you.#JesusIsMyTwinFlame #WoundedHealer #UnmutedPodcast #TherapistLife #EmotionalLabor #HealingIsHeavy #CalledAndChosen #BlackWomenHeal #SpiritualCalling #RelationalRantsAndRealTalk

This episode wasn’t planned. A tragic story out of Chicago shook me—and I pressed record. What followed was a raw unraveling: grief, memory, defense, self-reflection, and the parts of me that show up when the world feels unsafe.

I talk about the tragedy, about my own past, about what it means to hold space for someone you want to side-eye and cry for. I speak about PTSD, protection, and how I’m still uncovering myself through the stories I tell.

This is what Unmuted sounds like when I don’t edit the grief.
