Update. And message to you upon my turning 50. All the love ♥️

PARENTING IS NO JOKE 17.08.2022 10:04 ↓

Parenting; self-compassion break

A whole lot of radical acceptance 10.08.2021 7:40 ↓

I completed my intensive outpatient program today. I’m just tired. We’ll see how it all goes.

Please don’t give me some suggestion about how to commit to “X” action 26.07.2021 7:30 ↓

(Change your mindset! Love yourself! You’re on a journey! [ok maybe that one]) and THAT will cure me (us). Thanks

There should be more information about bipolar two in popular titles. 24.07.2021 6:17 ↓

This episode is silly. I didn’t mean for it to be but it is.

Feeling numb a.k.a. Not feeling is scary for me. 22.07.2021 8:32 ↓

The title suffices as a description.

WARNING: this is (sort of?) a rant. 20.07.2021 9:24 ↓

See Above

I am feeling better. 20.07.2021 29:47 ↓

My typical ruminations: I am a person who manages mental health to survive. New diagnoses: bipolar 2.

Here we go!

Breaking inter-generational curses IS work 19.06.2021 10:48 ↓

The title says it all.

Depression is the number one cause of dying by suicide 27.05.2021 22:16 ↓

Coming back from a relapse. May possibly start another podcast to continue this journey. If you or someone you know needs to talk to someone about ANYTHING, please call 800-273-8255

I recorded this three weeks ago. 27.05.2021 8:04 ↓

I truly hope you enjoy this episode.

Radical Accepting: Migraines and Depression 06.02.2021 10:17 ↓

Well I guess I’m learning that not only is depression sickness but migraines are also a disease. How about that? I guess this is a journey but I’ll be on for a while. I hope you’ll be there and glean some value by doing so.

The importance of sharing your shit 21.01.2021 10:26 ↓

No offense to podcast platforms but I’m kind of tired of having to come up with a description for an episode so until I feel differently this is the description LOL

Untitled 21.01.2021 7:07 ↓

I keep doing this thing where I will record an episode but not publish right away… Really no reason as to why. So I recorded this probably like two weeks ago and I’m going to publish now. hopefully this is appropriate for all ages or whatever

Fuck you depression! I wanna kick your ass! 30.12.2020 13:44 ↓

Whatever it’s making me do some thing so I can publish this episode.

We’re all wounded and healing. 16.12.2020 31:55 ↓

I recorded this a couple of weeks ago and (as per usual did not plan to publish) I’m publishing now. This one divulges personal stuff but speaking one’s truth is probably the most powerful tool we have toward our own and others’ liberation.

Brief interlude SSDS: depression 29.11.2020 12:17 ↓

Forthcoming

“Hello, I am a pleasure anorexic” 29.11.2020 21:28 ↓

I don’t even know what to say....I guess the podcast keeps coming back to this notion of being a pleasure anorexic. How that ties into capitalism, how that ties into our culture at large, and I don’t think I talked about it too much but it certainly ties into being a trauma survivor. I Think I’ll leave it there ✌🏽♥️

Admitting that sometimes my kid annoys me 😒 24.10.2020 29:40 ↓

Listen to this podcast episode if you have ever felt shitty about how shitty you’re feeling because you feel like your kid is being kinda shitty (or just a perfectly normal 4 yo in my case 😏).

“At least I show up”: Imperfection is spiritually honest 13.10.2020 7:43 ↓

Perfection is COMPLETE bullshit and the greatest con of our time. In so far as intrapersonal understanding goes. I bow to Imperfection as I bow to any holy being or divinity.

I’m struggling and that is oooookkkkk 30.09.2020 20:11 ↓

If you know anyone or you yourself would like to come on this podcast and share your story, please email me and let me know. I would love everyone to feel that this is a platform for them. Thismamarisesup@gmail.com

Be human first, then mother 💜 24.09.2020 5:33 ↓

Quick five minute episode about the importance of acknowledging your humanity as a mother. Your child doesn’t need a perfect mother; your child needs you 💪🏽🙏🏽😇

Acknowledging and Accepting 22.09.2020 14:24 ↓

Hello family, I hope this episode resonates with someone.😊💜

Riding around in my automobile. 09.09.2020 14:43 ↓

Ruminating about myriad topics. Working a side hustle = good for mental health. Being a mama in this society is a hustle we’ve been socialized into. Motherhood is broken; not us.
