Ep 10. Soft return // Nightmare On Elm Street

This episode is a soft return. I open up about where I’ve been, why I stepped back, and how trying to cope with personal struggles led me to distraction, burnout, and eventually needing to slow down and reset. It’s honest, grounded, and about choosing to come back with more intention. Then, in The Dark Corner, we revisit A Nightmare on Elm Street, diving into why Freddy Krueger still haunts our dreams, the fear of falling asleep, iconic scenes that still hold up, and why this classic somehow became one of my ultimate comfort horror movies. Get ready for real talk about coping, comfort horror, and easing back into things, because sometimes the scariest part isn’t the monster, it’s avoiding rest… especially when Freddy’s waiting for you on Elm Street.

Ep 9. Health Anxiety // The Slender Man Stabbing

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the struggles of health anxiety—the endless cycle of overanalyzing symptoms, Googling worst-case scenarios, and feeling like every ache or pain is a sign of something serious. I’ll be sharing my personal experiences with health anxiety, how it has impacted my daily life, and the coping strategies that have helped me manage it. Please note that the breath and reboot segment ends at 24:35 Then, in The Dark Corner, we’re exploring one of the most disturbing true crime cases tied to internet folklore—the Slender Man stabbing. In 2014, two 12-year-old girls lured their friend into the woods and brutally attacked her, all in an attempt to appease the fictional entity Slender Man. We’ll break down the case, the psychological and cultural impact of internet myths, and how digital horror can blur the line between fiction and reality. Tune in for a raw and thought-provoking episode that blends real-life fears with the unsettling side of the internet.

Ep 8. F.O.M.O // The Shining

This episode tackles FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)—why we feel it, how it messes with our mental health, and ways to break free from the constant need to be everywhere, all the time. Then, in The Dark Corner, we check into The Shining—exploring Jack Torrance’s unraveling, Danny’s spooky visions, and why haunted hotels are never a good idea. Get ready for real talk on FOMO, psychological horror, and a reminder that sometimes, staying home isn’t so bad—especially if the alternative is an axe-wielding Jack Nicholson.

Ep 7. Burning out // Lizard People

In this episode, we’re tackling two very different but fascinating topics. First, we dive into burnout—what it is, how to recognize the signs, and ways to recover and prevent it. Then, we switch gears to the lizard people conspiracytheory—where it came from, why some believe it, and if there’s any truth behind it.
