Let’s get one thing straight — staying in a relationship just to look like the “nice one” isn’t selfless, it’s self-sabotage. 💅

In this episode, Vanessa calls out the truth we all avoid: sometimes we hide behind kindness because we’re too scared to face the unknown. We tell ourselves we’re staying to protect someone, when really, we’re just protecting our own ego.

Yes — there are exceptions. If your partner is sick, if they physically need your care, that’s love and loyalty. But staying because you think they’ll crumble without you? That’s not compassion. That’s control wrapped in fear.

Vanessa breaks down how to stop playing the martyr, start honoring your truth, and finally walk away from what no longer serves your growth. Inspired by the teachings of Esther Perel and Abraham Hicks, this episode is your permission slip to stop calling suffering “love” and start choosing alignment.

💭 Because you’re not doing anyone a favor by staying small — including yourself.

What if your orientation did a plot twist mid-life? After 20 years of dating women, a long marriage, and the whole postpartum identity tornado — I start noticing men. Not every man. Not a straight-backflip romance. Just a new, confusing, delicious pull I didn’t expect.

Ever wondered what really happens inside the mind of someone who smiles through the chaos?
 Yeah… welcome inside mine. 🦄

In this episode, I get real about my lifelong battle with mental health — the anxiety that made me overthink everything, the depression that almost took me out, and the healing that brought me back to life.

I’m not sugarcoating it. I’m talking about the moments where it hurt to breathe, where I thought I was broken beyond repair — and the messy, beautiful process of rebuilding myself one ugly cry, one boundary, and one deep breath at a time.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever smiled on the outside while falling apart on the inside.
 Because healing isn’t about being “happy all the time.”
 It’s about finding peace in the middle of the storm — and realizing that your darkness doesn’t make you weak… it makes you magic. 🌑✨

If you’ve ever been scared of your own mind… this episode will feel like coming home.

Welcome to the beautiful chaos that started it all. In this episode, I get real about where I’ve been — from a 5150 hold to healing, from losing a ten-year “PERFECT” relationship to finding myself again.

I talk about the moments that broke me open, the pain that forced me to grow, and the wild, divine delusion that told me to keep believing when logic said, “girl, give it up.”

This podcast isn’t about pretending everything’s fine — it’s about owning your story, laughing at the pain once you’re out of tears, and realizing that your mess can still become your message. 🦄💋

Because yeah, my delusion comes with a message — and trust me, it’s one you don’t want to miss.
