  • The Episode About Healing (or lack there of) That You Never Asked For

    Ever heard Megan snot cry? No? Well, here you go. 40 wonderful minutes of snot. Let's be real guys. People ask how you're doing or comment on how much better you seem after going through something hard. They tell you they're proud of you for making the hard decision to go to therapy or they can't wait to get you upfront on Sunday to have you share with the class how you survived with God right by your side through the entire event. You politely tell them "thanks" and that you're "doing well". You really "enjoy" what you're doing with your life right now and you can "feel yourself healing". When in all reality you're on the struggle bus. You wake up rather upset that you woke up. You feel dirty, or sad, or at a loss. When you try to say something you're smothered with the "but you're doing so well" and the "therapy will help with that". No one wants to understand that healing still means that you're hurt. That sometimes you can't function and that is completely fine. So come cry with me on this wonderful mental breakdown episode.

  • The Episode About How The Church Tried The Wrong Family That You Never Asked For
    One thing about me is that I do not like injustice, and I do not like keeping my mouth shut. I stand for truth and I refuse to back down. Even if it is the church. What you won't do is mistreat my family and assume that I won't say anything about it! Oh, the congregation won't hold you accountable because they're scared? Looks like a job for me!

It’s okay to want to be independent, but it’s not okay to refuse any kind of help for fear of being exploited. Let’s talk through my own experience and how we can healthily break down this trauma response!

  • The Episode About Trauma and How it Affects Romantic Relationships That You Never Asked For
    Oh, snap! Megan’s getting emotional🤫 we like to discuss past ex’s and how they did us wrong to the person we see a future with. It’s seems easy and normal, but what about trauma? What is the right way to approach those kinds of conversations with someone who you see a future with?

  • The Episode About Sacrifices and Control, That You Never Asked For
    Hey guys! Ugh! It's been TOO LONG. Sometimes we think we need to have control of a situation, and sometimes (most of the time) we think that we need to put ourselves first in every situation. This should not be the case. Sacrifices and letting go of control are two things that have to happen in order for your relationships/friendships or life in general to go well...ya feel me?

  • The Episode About Lizzo's Weak Attempt At Women's Empowerment, That You Never Asked For
    We love Lizzo. Thank you Lizzo for giving us a summer anthem this year, but no thank you to the butt cheeks you gave us when we were just tryna watch some basket ball. Ladies, we shouldn't be feeling empowered by Lizzo's twerk fest, rather we should feel empowered by women who build other women up in such a way that leaves them looking, feeling, and desiring to be respected. You cannot demand respect if you're not going to be respectable🙃
