Episode 12 | No More Shrinking - Breaking Free from People Pleasing

Episode 16 | When You Stop Hiding

What happens when you finally stop hiding? When you stop shrinking to be digestible — and start telling the truth, even when it shakes your voice? In this raw and unfiltered episode of Cosmic Mess, Monica opens up about a difficult phone call with her parents, being honest about her mental health, her sexuality, and the cost of being seen. This isn’t an episode about blame — it’s about boundaries, grief, and the quiet freedom that comes from saying: this is me, and I’m not sorry. If you’ve ever been told your truth makes people uncomfortable, this episode is for you. It’s a reminder that you can speak up, cry through it, and still be worthy of love. Because healing isn’t tidy — it’s real, messy, and deeply human. 💌 Connect: cosmicmesspodcast@gmail.com 🌐 Follow: @cosmicmess.llc [https://instagram.com/cosmicmess.llc] | @cosmicmesspodcast [https://instagram.com/cosmicmesspodcast] 🎧 Listen to more at cosmicmessllc.com [https://www.cosmicmessllc.com/]

Episode 15 | Ancestral Wounds w/ Britt, Part Two

Part Two takes us deeper into ancestral healing—where release becomes reclamation. We talk about creating open dialogue with your ancestors, altar practices, and the simple but powerful ways signs and synchronicities show up in daily life. You’ll also hear a guided ritual for letting go of inherited pain, plus a card pull to check in with the energy of the week. This conversation is a reminder: you are not broken, you’re part of a long line of survivors, and your healing ripples both backward and forward through your lineage.

Episode 14 | Ancestral Wounds w/ Britt, Part One

📍 Ancestral Wounds w/ Britt, Part One What happens when the pain we’re carrying isn’t just ours? In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend Brittany (@_issavibecheck_), a multi-passionate creative, vibe curator, and creator of the Issa Vibe Check affirmation deck, to talk about the ancestral wound—the inherited trauma, silence, and survival patterns passed down through our families. We share personal stories about body image, money, family expectations, and the unspoken rules that shaped how we thought we had to be. This isn’t about blaming our ancestors—it’s about honoring them while choosing to break cycles and live differently. ✨ Part Two drops next week! In it, we’ll get practical with mirror talks, cord-cutting, building ancestral altars, and a collective card pull to help you bring this healing into your own life. 🎙 Cosmic Mess is unfiltered conversations for the too much and not enough among us. 💌 Connect with me: Instagram: @cosmicmesspodcast [https://instagram.com/cosmicmesspodcast] | @monica.elzbieta [https://instagram.com/monica.elzbieta] Email: cosmicmesspodcast@gmail.com

Episode 13 | Healing isn't Becoming, it's Remembering

We’re told healing is about fixing, upgrading, or becoming someone new. But what if it’s not? In this episode, I share why healing isn’t about polishing yourself into perfection — it’s about remembering who you already are. ✨ From treating healing like a Virgo-style checklist, to realizing my body is a doorway to the divine, to living the life my ancestors dreamed of — this conversation is about coming home to yourself. You are not broken. You are not behind. You are whole, messy, divine, and human. 📩 Connect with me: Instagram: @cosmicmesspodcast [https://instagram.com/cosmicmesspodcast] | @monica.elzbieta [https://instagram.com/monica.elzbieta] Email: cosmicmesspodcast@gmail.com

Episode 12 | No More Shrinking - Breaking Free from People Pleasing

✨ No More Shrinking — Breaking Free from People Pleasing ✨ For years, I bent myself into shapes that weren’t mine — silencing my truth, softening my edges, and playing the role of “easy” because I thought that made me lovable. Spoiler: it didn’t. In this episode of Cosmic Mess, I’m sharing the real cost of people pleasing — how it sneaks into our relationships, friendships, work, even tiny everyday moments — and how I’m learning to stop abandoning myself. From trauma in a trench coat to saying “it’s fine” when it’s not, this one is raw, messy, and maybe a little too relatable. If you’ve ever struggled with shrinking yourself for approval, comfort, or belonging, this episode is for you. 🎧 Listen now and let’s talk about what it really takes to stop pleasing, start expanding, and belong to yourself first. — ✨ Let’s connect: Instagram: @cosmicmesspodcast [https://instagram.com/cosmicmesspodcast?utm_source=chatgpt.com] | @monica.elzbieta [https://instagram.com/monica.elzbieta?utm_source=chatgpt.com] Email: cosmicmesspodcast@gmail.com
