MASKING: Putting on a “happy face”

Episode 3: ME TOO (My SA Story)

***TRIGGER WARNING: SEXUAL ASSAULT/ABUSE, ABUSE, CHILDHOOD ABUSE, DRUGS & ALCOHOL, ADDICTION*** This one was HARD to record; and SO necessary. In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, some of the listeners voted on Instagram and requested I tell my story. I’ll likely do a part two for this soon, diving into a few topics I didn’t have time to cover. This episode feels like the perfect opportunity to open the conversation a bit. Feel free to let me know if you want more episodes like this (or less!). In the meantime, feel free to listen, ask questions, and remember my inbox is open if you need it. ❤️

If they wanted to: THEY WOULD!!

Things have been CRAZY! Planning a wedding is NOT for the faint of heart; and they weren’t lying when they said people would show their true colors! We’re back this week with one of my favorite phrases - and I’ll warn you… it may shift your perspective with some people or situations in your life. So let’s get into it: if they wanted to, they REALLY would!

Episode 1: AND WE’RE BACK!!

It’s been a while & I’ve got some TEA. TO. SPILL THIS SEASON!!! My life has been busy & things have been hectic, but we are back with the second season & things are gonna get EXCITING!!! From dating advice to mental health mind maps, from generational trauma to triggers & fears: we’re diving into the deep end of “what we shouldn’t talk about” all year long! So follow @btdt.twice on Instagram, add next week’s episode (same day, same time) to your calendar, and let’s get ourselves settled into Season TWO!!!!

What is Going On?!

I know - I’ve been distant again! I swear the explanation is reasonable - just have to listen!! I’ll new posting as much material as I can before the season end; and next season will be way more structured!! Promise!! For now, let’s talk about how being busy can be bittersweet for someone who never rests!

MASKING: Putting on a “happy face”

Masking is something new we’ve been discussing in my therapy sessions - and it’s a DRAG!! I was in shock finding out that I basically “fake it til I make it” like it’s my job. 🙃 But we’re learning!!!
