Just trying my best to be authentic and bad ass at the same time. Join me as I wade through the waters of my mid twenties and unfuck childhood trauma, chronic disordered eating, sexuality, and so much more all while feeling and communicating difficult emo
This week i bring you the best i have to offer, my sister :') We talk all about feeling our feelings, setting boundaries with ourselves and other people, she calls me out, we giggle a lot, it's a great time. She'll definitely be back again, but i hope you enjoy!
This week i take a break from the therapy bullshit to talk about my eating disorder. I discuss what my ED is like for me, how i knew i needed help, and what my experience has been like so far at a very popular all women's ED treatment center in Charlotte, NC. If disordered eating is difficult for you to listen to, its probably best to skip parts of this one pal (I don't go into nitty gritty details, but I spend the first 10ish minutes talking about my own ED)
We have our first guest this week!!! Joining me is my new OT pal Colleen, we talk about how we could all use a little more leisure and play time in our lives, especially as adults. Listen in to hear about benefits of really taking time for ourselves to reset and how much good it can do for us and what could happen if we don't.
This week we are sticking with the theme of how our childhood impacts us as adults and i discuss pretty much everything there is to know about attachment styles! What attachment is, how it can be secure or insecure, different types of attachment styles, how they show up in our adult relationships and what the hell to do about it if your current style of attachment isn't leading you to authentic connections.
In this episode i talk about signs of a wounded inner child, the critical brain development that occurs in childhood, the most common/overlooked instance of childhood trauma, what we can do about it, how to possibly prevent some of it from happening, and some activities we can do to connect with our inner child. As always, this is meant to be a conversation starter, always seek professional advice for any diagnosis or therapeutic assistance.
I figured a good place to begin, is to talk about me. What gives me the authority to declare myself a 26 year old bad ass? Lemme tell ya!
