Such A BAD What?

Episode 4: “LAZY”

For years, I was called lazy. The reality was far more complicated. In this episode, I unpack the impact of growing up with visible mental health struggles while being labeled instead of understood. From burnout and overperformance to family dynamics and healing, this is a conversation about the stories we inherit about ourselves—and the freedom that comes from finally questioning them. Maybe I wasn’t lazy. Maybe I was exhausted.

Episode 3: Here Are Your Paint Brushes

In Episode 3 of The Such A Bad What Podcast, Domo unpacks the emotional exhaustion that comes from surviving in spaces where honesty is punished and silence is rewarded. Here Are Your Paint Brushes is a deeply vulnerable conversation about family dynamics, generational trauma, emotional survival, and the painful realization that some people only love the version of you that stays quiet. Through reflections on growing up in a Black household, being labeled “the strong one,” and navigating the loneliness of carrying pain silently, Domo explores what happens when self-protection is mistaken for rebellion. This episode dives into the weight of survival mode, the role of the “black sheep” in dysfunctional families, and the courage it takes to reclaim your voice after years of emotional suppression. With raw storytelling and honest self-reflection, Domo speaks on choosing peace, setting boundaries, and no longer shrinking to preserve relationships that require self-abandonment. At its core, Here Are Your Paint Brushes is about releasing the need to control how others perceive you. It’s a reminder that telling the truth about your pain does not make you difficult, it makes you human. For anyone emotionally exhausted from constantly surviving, this episode offers something many people rarely hear: You are allowed to rest. ✨

Episode 2: SAME house, DIFFERENT childhoods

What does it really mean to grow up in the same house? In this episode, Domo unpacks the quiet reality that shared spaces don’t equal shared experiences. From being labeled “the bad one” to navigating comparison, misinterpretation, and emotional neglect, this story dives into how identity is shaped long before we have the words to defend it. This isn’t just about childhood. It’s about the labels that follow us. The environments that misunderstood us. And the healing that comes from finally telling the truth. Same house. Different childhoods. And still… we made it. Feeling bad. Doing good anyway.
