The Friendships That Shaped Me

Send us a text Some friendships feel like air in your lungs; others knock the wind out of you. This story-driven episode dives into the friends who carried us through family fractures, the sudden goodbyes that rewired our trust, and the bold voices that pushed us toward better, braver selves. We open with childhood in a split home, where neighbors and friends’ parents became a quiet safety net—block parties, open kitchens, and the simple miracle of being welcomed without explanation. That fou...

Who Am I Without This?

Send us a text Have you ever loved something so deeply it became part of your identity? That moment when passion transforms into purpose, creating a space where you truly belong? For me, it was soccer. From age three, standing as a goalkeeper became more than a position—it was who I was. The last line of defense. The protector. Every save ignited something in me nothing else could touch. But what happens when that defining passion disappears? After a devastating knee injury ended my soccer c...

Fragments of Childhood

Send us a text Memory plays tricks on us all, but for those who've experienced trauma, it can feel like flipping through a photo album with half the pictures torn out. That's how I'd describe my childhood memories of Santa Rosa, California – fragmented snapshots rather than a coherent narrative. When I first tried recording this episode, I described places: houses, parks, streets. But as my boyfriend pointed out, I wasn't actually explaining my childhood – just its geography. This simple obs...

I Thought That Was Just Me

Send us a text We all have those strange, quirky habits we developed as children—the comfort objects we couldn't sleep without, the songs we played on repeat, the rituals that made no sense to others but meant everything to us. What if those weren't just childhood peculiarities, but your body's sophisticated attempt to manage anxiety before you had words to name it? In this deeply personal episode, I unpack the many ways anxiety lived in my body long before I recognized what it was. From fre...

The Girl With The Anxious Heart

Send us a text This first episode took me eight tries to record—because honestly, I was scared. Scared to be vulnerable, scared it wouldn’t land, scared it might fail. But that fear? It’s exactly what this episode is about. I grew up in the late '90s with undiagnosed anxiety, constantly feeling like I was on the outside looking in. I was the funny, overly sensitive, background character in my own story. When my family moved after my dad lost his job, my anxiety hit a new level—suddenly I was ...
