In this episode, we meet a 24‑year‑old night shift nurse aide who brings both professional compassion and personal courage to the conversation. Transgender and queer, married for nearly four years, they open up about living with ADHD, OCD, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Dissociative Identity Disorder—sharing why they sometimes refer to themselves as “we/us” and what it means to embrace plurality in a world that often misunderstands it.
From growing up in a home marked by illness and hoarding, to navigating inpatient stays for self‑harm and suicidal ideation, to facing discrimination in healthcare settings, this story is raw, real, and deeply human. Yet it’s also about resilience, authenticity, and the power of speaking openly about neurodiversity and trauma.
✨ What you’ll hear in this episode:
The realities of working night shifts in assisted living and hospice care
Growing up in a toxic environment and finding ways to cope
Living with DID and reframing outdated labels
The challenges of masking and facing discrimination in mental health care
How openness, humor, and honesty create space for healing
This conversation is an invitation to see strength in vulnerability and to honor the complexity of being human.

🎙️ Episode Description In this episode, we hear the raw and inspiring story of a guest who turned their life around after years of chasing cheap dopamine through drugs, gambling, and destructive habits. A transformative experience with psilocybin mushrooms revealed the depth of the potential they were wasting — and sparked a radical shift in direction.

Three years later, they’ve published a book and audiobook detailing their journey, launched a health and fitness company, and pushed their physical limits with ultramarathons, strongman competitions, and obstacle course races. This conversation explores the power of psychedelics, the discipline of self‑reinvention, and the possibility of creating a better version of life.

Thanks for joining us! Today's show will be with My cousin Aubrianna aka Breezy catching up and talking our mental health and what's been happening since the last time we talked which was probably, oh shoot, at least 3 if not 5 years ago. Breezy and I grew up together on and off, sometimes working at our Grandma and Grandpa's family business, Bessie's Pasties. Back in the day we used to smoke and drink together, but all these years later we are both now mommy's to some beautiful babies.

When she reached out to me about the podcast, I realized, I don't really know her story, her background, because she didn't always live in Michigan, so talk about excited and proud I felt when she reached out to me! I can't wait to hear her story and what's going on in her world now!

What if the only way to save the planet was to kidnap the billionaires destroying it?

That’s the provocative question at the heart of They Could Be Saviors, the debut novel from today’s guest—a speculative fiction author, psychedelic facilitator, and unapologetic truth-teller. But this isn’t just dystopian drama. It’s a story rooted in lived experience, urgent realities, and a belief that fiction can do more than entertain—it can challenge systems and spark the conversations we’re often too afraid to have.

In this riveting episode, we explore:

🌍 Why climate collapse and wealth inequality demand radical imagination

🧠 How psychedelic therapy helped the author confront trauma, ego, and responsibility—and why it could help others do the same

📚 The role of storytelling in resistance, healing, and systemic change

💬 Why billionaire-ism isn’t success—it’s a social sickness we need to name

This conversation bridges the personal and the political, the scientific and the spiritual. It’s for anyone who’s ever wondered what transformation really requires—and whether fiction might be one of our most powerful tools for getting there.

Whether you’re a reader, a healer, or a changemaker, this episode will leave you challenged, inspired, and ready to imagine a future worth fighting for.
