I'm confident you will laugh, so enjoy our randomness!! ** As I said, I played Carmen the drunk ghost on...

So after recording this episode, I looked up the definition of trauma bond, and it's more so associated with being in a relationship with a narcissist.  As you will hear, this is not the way that I am defining it in this episode... I had to get some stuff off of my heart and mind, so I discuss the negative affects that trauma bonds have had on me, and why I am more guarded about who I allow t...

Thoughts to Ponder- is it okay to discuss the negative things that someone did after they die? Or does their dirt go with them to their grave?  In this episode I discuss this, and then go on a few different rants once the Tequila Rose really kicked in (this month's coffee liqueur review).  This was a live recording that aired 10/14/20; if you'd like to check out the visuals on Facebook o...
