Ep. 32 - The Dark Side of the Bad Bitch Healing Archetypes

You know the version of you that got you through the hardest seasons of your life? The Broken Girl who kept hoping. The Awakened Woman who became obsessed with healing. The Boundary Witch who finally learned how to say no. The Seductress of Self who rediscovered her confidence. The Sovereign Queen who rebuilt her life from the ashes. Yeah...we're talking about the shadows they don't tell you about. Because what if your self-awareness is actually keeping you stuck? What if your boundaries are becoming walls? What if your confidence is armor? What if your strength is really fear disguised as control? In this deeply personal episode, I pull back the curtain on the dark side of every healing archetype and shares the stores, survival strategies, and hard-earned lessons that shaped by own journey through divorce, heartbreak, rebuilding and coming home to myself. This isn't about shaming the versions of you that helped you survive. It's about honoring them....and recognizing when it's time to let them step out of the driver's seat. Because the goal of healing was never to become someone else....it was always to remember who you were before survial convinced you to forget. If you've ever wondered why you keep repeating the same patterns despite "doing all the work," this episode is for you.

What if your villain era wasn't actually about becoming cold.... What if it was about finally choosing yourself? In this raw, unfiltered episode of Baked and Balanced, I'm sharing my own villain origin story - from my divorce, and losing friends, to the moment I stopped making myself smaller just to be accepted.

Ep. 30 - You're Not In Love - You're Romanticizing Potential

In this episode of Baked and Balanced, we're getting painfully honest about something a LOT of women confuse for love: Potential. Because sometimes the person you can't et go of....isn't actually the love of your life. Sometimes they're just the person you spent years projecting your hopes, fantasies, wounds, and unmet needs onto. And whew.....this episode goes DEEP. I open up about a 20-year "addiction" that felt like destiny, chemistry, and soul-level connection - but was actually years of romanticizing potential while ignoring reality. We're talking about: - chemistry addiction - fantasy relationships - projection - emotional unavailability - trauma bonds - why inconsistency feels addictive - and how women lose themselves chasing "almost" If you've ever: - stayed because you saw "who they could become" - confused emotional intensity with connection - ignored red flags because the chemistry felt insane - or kept waiting for someone to finally love you the way you deserved Babe - this episode is going to hit hard. This isn't just about heartbreak. It's about the moment you realize you were abandoning yourself to hold onto a fantasy. And more importantly? How to finally stop. Light up, get honest, and prepare for a conversation that might completely change the way you look at love, attachment, and "potential."

Ep. 29 - Blackout Drunk Is Funny - But Weed Is the Problem??

Society will joke about "needing wine to survive" while judging women who use cannabis to regulate, heal, and reconnect with themselves. So...why is blackout drinking normalized, but intentional cannabis use treated like a moral failure? In this episode of Baked and Balanced, we dive into the double standard between alcohol and cannabis culture. the science behind how both substances affect the brain and nervous system, and the deeper truth nobody wants to talk about: Most people aren't addicted to substances. They're addicted to escaping themselves. This episode unpacks: - the society conditioning around "wine mom culture" - the real effects of alcohol vs. cannabis on the brain and body - nervous system regulation vs. emotional numbing - why society celebrates coping but fears healing - how intentional cannabis use can support self-awareness and emotional healing - the difference between using something to escape...vs. using it with intention If you've ever felt judged for healing differently, this conversation is going to hit deep.

Ep. 28 - The Truth About Why You Still Miss Him (And Its Not What You Think)

You don't actually miss him ... You miss the version of you that was hoping he'd finally choose you. Yeah. We're going there. 👀 In this episode, I'm breaking down the truth behind why you still feel pulled toward someone who had you anxious, confused, and questioning your worth - even when you know he wasn't right for you. Because missing him doesn't mean he was "the one." It means something deeper is still attached. We're getting into: - Why your body craves the emotional highs and lows (aka the cycle you got hooked on) - What you're actually missing (hint: it's not him) - The identity and self-worth wounds keeping you stuck And I'm sharing my own experience - what it feels like to know better but still feel that pull...and the moment I realized I wasn't missing him, I was missing how he made me feel in fragments. This is not you "just let go" advice. This is the real, uncomfortable truth that will make you pause....and finally start to detach for real.
