Grown… But Not Mature

Steven universe, hot girl summer, memoirs and graphic novels, the glamorous side of a quiet life.

Not every glow up story is glamorous, and that’s okay. In this episode, we’re getting real about finding magic in the everyday. From the memoirs and graphic novels that mirror our own humanity, to the comfort of Steven Universe and the small joys that actually matter. We’re diving into the books that have changed how we see ourselves, the slice-of-life stories that feel like looking in a mirror, and why sometimes a good cartoon and a new swimsuit are exactly what we need. Because the most meaningful moments often happen when we’re just being ourselves, living quietly and authentically. Join me as I celebrate the messy, beautiful, unglamorous parts of growing up… or not growing up 🤷🏻‍♀️ wtv feels more comfy lol

Life is kicking my ass

I’ve been feeling mentally exhausted and like I’ve been comparing myself a lot lately. I want to be at a point where I can fully accept myself flaws and all, which I guess you could say is easier said than done, but it takes a lot of practice anyways. I went to the doctors and didn’t get the best news, but I’m trying to be OK with where I am now, of course it hurts and of course it’s going to be difficult and the journey is going to take a while. However, two things can be true at the same time: one, I am grateful for everything that I have and two, I’m struggling and that’s okay! I think I’m going to take it slow, but also romanticize and enjoy my life as much as possible…

Tired of these men; cheating scandal, true crime and my Pap smear horror story

First of all, I need y’all to know I’m recording this episode on my period, so if I sound emotional, dramatic, slightly unhinged, or ready to fight… mind your business. 😂 In this episode, we get into the Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson cheating drama because be serious… did anyone actually think Megan Thee Stallion was about to sign up for a polygamous situation? Absolutely insane behavior. We also get into my very strong opinions about men who hurt women and children.,. and yes, I said what I said. Then we talk about the tragic case involving D4vid and the murder charges connected to Celeste Hernandez Rivas. May she rest in peace. And because this podcast believes in emotional whiplash, I also share my Pap smear horror story because being a woman is honestly a comedy mixed with psychological warfare sometimes.

Breakups Before Bedtime- A special guest!

Being the cool auntie means you hear everything…… Yes, even middle school tea 😂 In this episode, my nephew Adan pulls back the curtain on what “dating” in 8th grade really looks like. It’s not all hand-holding and love songs… it’s texting, group hangs, mixed signals, and figuring things out in real time. Messy? A little. Relatable? Very. He opens up about a situation with a girl who maybe wasn’t ready for something new, and gets real about how it made him feel. We talk about what he learned, what caught him off guard, and what he thinks people should know before jumping into their first relationship. It’s honest, a little funny, a little “aww,” and lowkey a reminder that we’ve all been there.

Grown… But Not Mature

What happens when you grow up too fast… and end up parenting the very people who were supposed to guide you? In this episode, we unpack the quiet reality of emotional role reversal—when children become the peacemakers, the providers, the “strong one” long before they’re ready. On the outside, it can look like maturity. Strength. Independence. But underneath, it often comes with unprocessed emotions, blurred boundaries, and a version of adulthood built on survival instead of choice. We talk about how this dynamic can follow you into relationships, self-worth, and the way you show up for yourself—and how it can be more damaging than people realize. But this isn’t just about the weight of it all. It’s also about the turning point—the moment you realize you don’t have to keep carrying what was never yours. The power in setting boundaries. The courage in choosing healing over habit. And the possibility of becoming the one who breaks the cycle, not just for others… but for yourself. Because growing up too fast may have shaped you—but it doesn’t have to define you!
