Your Unapologetic Life

Hey there! Welcome back to another episode of Your Unapologetic Life. I’m your host, Morgan Barkus, and today, we’re diving into a topic that’s often whispered about but rarely celebrated—cycle syncing!

I had the pleasure of chatting with the amazing Amy Dave, who’s here to help us unpack the different phases of our menstrual cycles. We’re tackling everything from the PMS rollercoaster (you know, the one where chocolate becomes your best friend) to feeling like a total powerhouse during ovulation.

Let’s get started, and remember, you’ve got this!

Hiya, superstar! Morgan Barkus here, and welcome back to Your Unapologetic Life. In this episode I’m diving into a topic that’s on my mind: “Was he a waste of time?”

The topic came up in conversation with a neighbor and a good friend. They both ended relationships and couldn’t believe how much time they felt they’d wasted. It got me reflecting on my own experiences—those moments when I, too, have let people into my life who weren’t right for me. You know the type: selfish, moody, inconsistent. It’s easy to feel like those relationships were just a waste, but as I sat down to journal, I realized something important.

Every connection I've had—and yes, even the unhealthy ones—has taught me something valuable. I’ve come to understand that these encounters aren’t just wasted time; they’re lessons in disguise. What has this person come into my life to teach me? I’ve learned to ask myself that question and really reflect on it because it shifts my perspective.

We’ll talk about how relationships can guide us toward healthier choices and help us attract the right kind of people. No one is a waste of time; every relationship is part of our growth, even when it feels frustrating.

Join me as we explore this topic together. Let’s unpack the lessons hidden in our pasts and embrace the wisdom they offer. I hope this resonates with you and encourages you to see your own experiences in a new light.

Thanks for tuning in, and let’s get into it!

Welcome back to Your Unapologetic Life! In this episode, I sit down for a candid and heartfelt chat with my dear friend, Julie Robinson—my sister from another mother. Though we went to high school together, we didn’t become friends until our 30s. We’ve shared so much together, including living together twice. Throughout our conversation, we reflect on our high school years, sharing our initial impressions of each other; I was known as the smart girl, while Julie was the life of the party.

As we dive deeper into our stories, we touch on the complexities of body image. Julie shares her experience of feeling too skinny and dealing with the teasing that came with it, while I candidly recount my struggles with anorexia. Our discussions highlight how different experiences shape our views on body image, especially as we navigate motherhood and raise teenage daughters in this social media-driven age.

Julie also opens up about her time as a NICU nurse, the profound moments she’s shared with families during their hardest times, and how these experiences have influenced her spirituality and creativity. She’s now channeling her journey into writing poetry, a passion that captures her many life experiences.

This episode captures the beauty of friendship, growth, and the wisdom we gain through our journeys. You can find Julie on TikTok as @SoulScribeRN, where she shares her poems.
