It's been awhile since we've sat down and done a car chat. These are generally quicker episodes where I talk about things off the top of my head while I'm in the car. It's my time to 'clear my head' and get to what's really on my mind. I make a correction from my last episode, have real time conflictions, and also discuss new fears of the future. L…

Social Anxiety is not just the typical quiet and shy individual who feels ‘out of place’. You could be the ‘life of the party’ and experience spurts of high anxiety. You could be in a conversation but half of you is ready to cry. You could be smiling but inside you feel exhausted because you are beyond overstimulated. I have always struggled with b…

You're in a cycle of dating losers and you keep asking yourself, 'Why me?'. Well, sometimes it's you, you are making choices that are leading you to choose these people - but it's not all your fault. Sometimes we have generational trauma, parental woes, trauma bonds, the list goes on.. I'm breaking down how to see the flaws in ourselves while also …

** I know Hawaii is NOT an international flight - it just FELT like one ** I went to Hawaii with my mom for 11 days and I had THE BEST time. I met someone who showed me a different perspective on life, sang in front of strangers, did things scared, saw waterfalls, hiked, went to a gay bar, experienced dole whip, ate amazing food, fell in love with …

I am still going through it - so I figured you might be too. Here are the most healthy ways to get onto the other side of a breakup. I know we still want to reach out to them or fix the situation, but the best thing right now is space. Things like no contact, boundaries and surrounding yourself with YOUR people are what will ultimately get you thro…

Wow, it has been a MINUTE. I have been trying to process my emotions in a healthier way. I am so used to just pouring my soul that I lost sight of my own private moments to myself. Sometimes we have to hold things sacredly, against our chests, and just be. I have spent this time getting to the root causes as to why I keep making the same decisions,…

This is for all the girls who were terribly disappointed on Valentine’s Day - just know you’re worth it and he’s a god damn LOSER. I just officially ended things on Valentine's Day with the guy I was dating. I THOUGHT I would be worthy of receiving a rose petal at the very least but all I got was a shrug and a whole lot of nothing. SO, sit back, re…

Happy 2024! My year didn’t start off the way I had imagined but that doesn’t mean it’s all bad. Let’s discuss why I had a full blown anxiety attack, my forever changing self image, mental capacity, my first ever therapy session, dynamics in my personal relationships, raising sensitive kids, confidence and why I really hate social media. Love you, m…

I'm doing that TikTok trend where we talk about all the guys we've dated this year. Honestly, it's super therapeutic and funny to talk about the highs and lows of dating in your 30s. The people who I thought were so amazing, ended up being the worst. So cheers, to another year. If this year was unkind to you I hope 2024 is a bit brighter and I'll s…

The restaurant industry is COLD… I recently had to deal with yet another mean girl. But this time? BABY we are taking the HIGH road! I document a real fight that occurred between a mentally unstable, ex-coworker and I. This is a reminder to be nicer to each other - but also TAKE NO SHIT. You can be the star shining bright, don’t ever give someone t…

TW: We will be discussing food disorders (bulimia, anorexia & binging). Food issues and disorders can be really tricky. Where do they come from? Why do some of us restrict, while others might binge? Is it possible to have issues with both? I take you inside the mind of someone who uses food as a form of control. But where does it stem from? Is ther…

*Recorded on Nov 6th 2023* It’s Scorpio Season and a NEW season of Manic & Medicated! Yesterday we celebrated my 31st birthday and Season 3 of the podcast!

I went to the Pitbull, Ricky Martin & Enrique Iglesias concert. Yes, all of them were in attendance - these are my honest thoughts on the performance. What happened after the concert was definitely the highlight of my night. It’s funny, because last episode I spoke about how we need to be nicer to strangers in our real life. Humanity really upsets …

Enjoy. Link to Blog: https://c1…

I downloaded Hinge for the first time in years. It's honestly so funny and I’m learning to not take myself so seriously. Am I trying to find my husband or potential partner? No. Am I leaning into self loathing and outside sources to raise up my confidence in a pathetic attempt to feel better? Maybe. But who cares? Let’s chat about depression, feeli…

I’m spilling the tea on the guy I recently dated - lemme tell you, it went to shit, lol. But I definitely learned a lot about myself and what I truly want in a partner. Dating sucks - the revolving door of asking people, ‘What’s your favorite color?’ mixed in with our shared experiences of childhood trauma gets old… but I’m not going to give up on …

Just this week a high school student, near me, has passed away in what looks like a suicide. Her classmates have since reached out to me to see if I would speak to their school about suicide prevention. They feel as if they would benefit from someone speaking to them with real life experiences. I am calling on my listeners in the Massachusetts area…

TW: talks of abuse and suicide You ever find yourself so full of emotions that you could burst at the seams? I threw the mic on and decided to walk you through some feelings.

What is it really like working in the restaurant industry? I am joined with my friends Amber and Adria as we walk you through our experiences as bartenders and servers.

Anger is a VALID emotion - but when does it become TOO much?? How do we shift our perspectives on things? Why do we always feel the need to be validated by people? Why do we jump into confrontations that have nothing to do with us? How do we create boundaries with others without starting fights? WHY AM I SO EMOTIONAL?! Well... take a breath, and le…

There is a definite difference in dating guys who are younger than you vs. older. I dated guys almost 10 years older than me and some who were 5-6 years younger.
