Twenty-four years ago, this country watched burning towers in New York City, sirens, smoke, and the lives forever changed. That day, we swore to hold the line for freedom.

Today, I am ashamed. Ashamed to read gleeful posts celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk, a husband, a father of two small children, because of his opinions. On 9/11, the enemy came from outside our gates. Yesterday, the festering rot came from within.

This is not a full episode, but a little over 15 minutes of remembrance, grief, and fury. A reminder that freedom isn’t comfort; it’s resilience, courage, and the audacity to speak truth even when it’s unwelcome.

This week’s episode of The Salty Goddess Podcast veers away from menopause to tackle something heavier, rawer, and closer to the bone: suicide and resilience.

Anne Margaret Perry honors Jonathon Feit, CEO of Beyond Lucid Technologies, and his vow to fight until suicide reaches Level Zero. Through her own stories, starting with the magic of her first EMT card and her starry-eyed idealistic viewpoint,  to the brutal realities of inner-city EMS, from cosmic lessons of stardust to the bloody-nosed glory of a Buffalo Bills comeback, she dismantles the myths around suicide, trauma, and ego, and the importance of teaching children to navigate barriers, roadblocks, mistakes and stumbling blocks.

This isn’t a TED Talk or a Hallmark movie. It’s a salty, irreverent, and deeply human conversation about survival, scars, and the daily decision not to give in.

Takeaways:

Suicide and substance use disorder aren’t weakness; they’re trauma responses.

Ego sabotages resilience.

Resilience isn’t noble; it’s messy, feral, and stubborn.

Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is just not die today.

If BILLS Mafia Members, can hang on year after year, being devastated by loss after loss, disappointment over and over again, you too can learn that same resilience, trust me. AND, if the Bills can come back from a 15 point deficit, in under 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, you can too.

👉 Share this episode if you know someone who needs to hear it. And remember: survival is sometimes the saltiest middle finger you can give to trauma.

Last week’s menopause and low T episode struck a nerve, and the flood of questions told me we’re not done yet. In this follow-up, I tackle your biggest concerns: hot flashes, sleep wreckage, lost libido, and why 8 rushed minutes in a provider’s office will never solve 8 years of suffering. We’ll talk hormone replacement options, sex drive realities, the truth about double-booked appointments, and why keeping a diary of symptoms is your best weapon.  This is for both men and women, my friends, I don't gatekeep!

This isn’t your grandmother’s menopause, or your Daddy's Erectile Dysfunction Playbook, it’s 2025, and you deserve more than lip service and polite nods. It’s time to reclaim your health, your intimacy, your libido, and your dignity.

Why does erectile dysfunction get miracle drugs while menopause gets a pat on the head?

In this salty, no-holds-barred episode of The Salty Goddess Podcast, Anne Margaret Perry exposes the medical gaslighting that minimizes women’s health, especially menopause. From the FDA’s exclusion of women in trials to the decades-long delay in developing treatments for hot flashes, brain fog, and sexual health, she reveals the receipts on how systemic neglect has wrecked lives, careers, and relationships.

With stats, stories, and straight talk, Anne Margaret tackles:

If you’re tired of being told to “gracefully age” while men get solutions overnight, this episode will light a fire under you. Because seven years of symptoms is not a phase: it’s a policy failure.

Representation in fiction isn’t an attack, it’s evolution. In this unapologetic episode, I expose how certain “educators” and online personalities twist art into ammunition for their culture war, profiting from division and outrage. From movies and TV to comics and games, they claim diversity is destruction. I’m here to tell you: that’s pure BS. Art is meant to entertain, inspire, and reflect our growing world, not serve as a wedge issue for ad revenue. It’s time to take back your joy, your stories, and your ability to think critically without being played like a cheap guitar.

Listen in if you’re ready to:

Stop letting fake culture warriors dictate your emotions

See through the outrage-for-profit playbook

Reclaim art as a space for inspiration, not division

Welcome to the explosive finale of The Dysfunctional Eight, where we’re ending this series not with a whisper, but with a throat punch of truth and a side of tactical healing.

In this episode of The Salty Goddess Podcast, Anne Margaret Perry takes on impulse control and emotional regulation dysfunction, two of the most misunderstood, sabotaging forces behind burnout, shame spirals, and relationship wreckage.

No, you’re not lazy. No, you’re not “too sensitive.”

You’re likely dealing with the aftermath of dysregulated neurofunction, and nobody gave you the damn manual.

What You’ll Hear:

Why impulse control dysfunction feels like a blackout, and how to override it with one salty minute

How emotional regulation dysfunction isn’t mood swings, it’s your nervous system slamming the gas and brake at the same time.

How to track your red flags and rewire your response systems.

What it means to "name it to tame it".

Why your brain keeps sabotaging itself… and how to stop giving it the keys.

Why “I’m fine” is the biggest lie you tell, and how to build better scripts.

You’ll also get real-life stories, tools, and snarky analogies (yes, there’s a queso emergency mention again) that help you build executive function like the salty grown-up you are. 

Call to Action:

Because your dysfunction isn’t your identity.

But ignoring it? That’s a choice. And baby, we don’t do that kind of peasantry around here.

In this spicy midweek slap of truth, The Salty Goddess, Anne Margaret Perry, unpacks sustained attention dysfunction, aka why your brain refuses to finish literally anything ever. If your mental tabs are multiplying like feral rabbits, your to-do list is becoming a to-shame list, and you're spiraling in dopamine-fueled distractions, this one's for you.

From clinical insights (without the white coat) to salty real-life meltdowns and actually useful, dopamine-driven solutions, Anne Margaret breaks the cycle of hyperfocus hell, shame spirals, and the myth that multitasking is a flex.

It's not laziness. It's dysfunction. And it’s fixable… but only if you stop lying to yourself and start closing some damn tabs.
