Strength in Gratitude: Year Two Update with Mykalene Shaw

In this heartfelt episode, we share an update on our mom’s journey through her second year battling stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. It’s been a year filled with challenges, triumphs, and countless moments of reflection. As we walk you through her progress, setbacks, and the little victories, we’re reminded of the power of gratitude—finding strength in small blessings and cherishing every shared moment. Join us as we explore what it means to be resilient and grateful, even in the face of life’s most difficult battles. This one is especially close to our hearts, and we’re grateful to share it with you.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 1 (Spooky Season): 🎃 She Wasn’t Alone in the House 🎃

Welcome to Season 3! We are so excited to be back with you here at Mentally Somewhere Else. In this special Halloween episode, we dive into the world of fear—both the irrational kind from childhood and the real-life terrors that leave us questioning what’s lurking in the shadows 👻. We start by asking, "What irrational fears did you have as a kid?" From there, we unravel a series of unsettling stories that will make your skin crawl. There’s the tale of an unexpected intruder in the most personal of spaces, a chilling photo that reveals more than meets the eye, a terrifying presence felt in the dead of night, and a heart-stopping moment every parent dreads. These stories will leave you on edge and questioning the safety of even the most familiar places. So grab a blanket, turn down the lights, and prepare for a frightful ride you won’t forget.  Our Insta:@mentallysomewhereelsepod Our TikTok: @mentallysomewhereelsepod Personal Accounts: Parker: @shawphotofilm TikTok: @parkershawty Mercedes: @mercedes-shaw4 TikTok: @mercedessw14
