Girl Versus World

It's easy to get stuck in survival mode - especially if you've been in survival mode for years going through things like family drama, trauma, addiction, codependency, financial hardship or whatever else might have triggered your survival instincts. Sometimes though, you get stuck in that mode, even after you've gotten through the worst of things. In this episode I talk about what i...

We've all been there, that moment where you throw your hands in the air because you just can't take it anymore. In relationships, this is called "the straw that broke the camels back" moment. There's a final thing that just causes you to boil over and give up on the relationship. Ive had these moments many times in relationships and called it quits. I stumbled across an ar...

A part of recovery and therapy involves letting go of resentments. It's a huge step in AA where you have to write down all the resentments and then work on letting each one of them go.

This is a resentment I will never be able to resolve with the person involved so for the sake of letting t...

I'm going to let you in on a little secret that you might not even know about yourself - You are worthy and need to be reminded.

I lived with t...

Are you on the struggle bus when it comes to sitting down, focusing and then getting stuff done? I've ridden that bus for years and I've had to fight really hard to get through that. The resistance has been made worse because I've chosen the arts as a career goal. Instead of wanting to go after a college degree - I have wanted a very different path for my life. That comes with a soc...

I was a huge fan of Game of Thrones - specifically of Khaleesi or  her much more official name Daenerys of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons. So when my therapist recommended a children's book about Dragons - I was in! In this episode - I cover what this book meant to me and how I've been using it to slay the dragons in my life and how yo...
