Thriving Beyond Bottom

There’s a certain confidence and moral superiority people have when they’ve never lived something. Addiction is one of those things. In this conversation, I’m speaking directly to the judgment that gets thrown at addicts from the outside. The “just stop.” The “it’s a choice.” The quiet belief that it’s really about willpower. We talk about what addiction actually is. Not from a moral lens, but fro...

This episode is an honest and straight up conversation about how talk is cheap . Plain and simple. And to be brutally honest, people's word means absolutely nothing to me anymore. When there’s no action or follow-through behind someone's word, you begin to lose trust. This episode is about how you can only listen to what someone says for so long before their behaviour starts telling and showing yo...

In this episode, I get honest about why this podcast went quiet and why I couldn’t come back until now. The last few months broke my heart. And even though I didn’t pick up the bottle, even though I didn’t relapse in the way people expect a "typical" rock bottom to look, my life still fell apart and I felt completely destroyed. This episode almost didn’t exist because I didn’t feel authentic showi...

Future self-embodiment isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s a remembrance of who you are when you stop abandoning yourself. This episode shows you that she’s not a finish line you cross once you’ve fixed everything. She’s the pattern you repeat until she comes into full focus. This episode pulls apart the glossy "future you" myth we’ve been sold. The flawless routine, the never-doubts herself bu...

If you’ve ever felt like healing has to be heavy, serious, or spiritual 24/7... this episode is for you. In this episode we’re talking about something that sometimes goes unnoticed in the healing space — your silly, playful, ridiculous side. The version of you that sends unhinged voice notes, dances in the kitchen for no reason, and laughs so hard she snorts. Not only is she allowed to exist durin...

My birthday hit a little differently this year. Not because of my age (34 is wild to me, I know), but because of the time I spent reflecting on everything this year brought to the surface for me. I took time this year on my special day to sit with my thoughts and I crafted a list of the 34 lessons I've learnt along the path of my life. In this episode, I’m not giving you a highlight reel or a poli...

This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt like falling apart meant they weren’t strong. In this episode, I’m not talking about the polished version of resilience. I’m talking about the kind that’s messy, emotional, and deeply human. The kind you don’t post about. The kind where you scream-cry on the bathroom floor, relapse after a year of sobriety, lose someone you love, and still find a way to get up...

This is one of the rawest episodes I’ve ever recorded to date. Even harder than my story because to be honest I have been avoiding a BIG part of my healing. I have realized, after an extremely difficult night, that I haven't made peace with some trauma I experienced in my adolescence and adulthood. My biggest challenge from this realization is because I was older and not a child when it happened t...

This one’s for the people who are learning to stop betraying themselves. We talk a lot about setting boundaries — but what about living them? What about the lonely middle where you’re grieving people you thought would stay, doubting yourself, wondering if you’re asking for too much? This episode is all about the real side of boundaries. The loss. The guilt. The pushback. The freedom. I’m not here...

In this episode, I’m diving into something we’ve all experienced but rarely slow down to fully understand— the signals we ignore in relationships. I’m talking about red flags, yellow flags, and green flags —not in a surface-level way, but the real-life patterns that show up in how people treat us, how we feel around them, and what we’ve been taught to tolerate. I share the moments I missed the sig...

This one is personal, I'm not holding back at all because this mindset trap has kept me stuck, not just for years, but for decades of my life. Imposter syndrome has shown up in so many ways throughout my life... and I know I’m not the only one. It’s that voice that says “You’re not ready” ... “You don’t belong here” ... or “Everyone’s going to figure you out.” In this episode, I’m breaking down th...

In this episode, I get honest about something that’s held me back for years— fear. Not just the kind that shows up in obvious ways, but the quiet fear that lingers under the surface. The fear of being seen. The fear of judgment. The fear of not being enough. This episode and more importantly this podcast almost didn’t exist because my own fear was that loud. But instead of running from it, I sat w...

Welcome to the very first episode of Thriving Beyond Bottom. This one’s raw, real, and deeply personal — because I’m starting right where it all began: my story . In this episode, I’m sharing the journey through my rock bottoms — not just one, but many. From early trauma and silenced pain, to addiction, mental health struggles, and the chaos I thought I’d never crawl out of… I talk about what real...
