Love, Trauma and Other Plot Twists

Bunny MD

What if the behavior you have spent years judging—in yourself or someone you love—was never the whole story? What were they searching for: love, safety, power, belonging, freedom, relief—or permission to become someone the world might love? In Love, Trauma & Other Plot Twists, author, international speaker and Emotional Wellness Expert Bunny MD draws from surviving homelessness, abuse and addiction to explore the hidden language beneath our choices. Some episodes will give language to what you could never explain. Others may help you understand what you have spent years blaming yourself for.

    More Than the Worst Thing: What You Did, What They Did & Who You Still Get to Be

    More Than the Worst Thing What You Did. What They Did. And Who You Still Get to Be. What if you could look at the parts of your life you aren't particularly proud of without cringing, hiding, defending, or deciding they say something terrible about you? That sounds very emotionally evolved. It also sounds suspiciously difficult.  This episode of Love, Trauma & Other Plot Twists is an invitation to look at yourself with a little more curiosity, a lot more honesty, and possibly a much better sense of humor. Because being human is weird. We grow. We screw up. We survive things. We make choices that make perfect sense until approximately six minutes later. We become people we never expected to be, then change again. And somewhere in all of that, it's remarkably easy to lose sight of just how much of ourselves there actually is. This conversation may make you laugh at something you've been taking very seriously. It may make you uncomfortable for a minute. It may catch you recognizing yourself in a place you absolutely did not expect to find yourself. And hopefully, you'll leave feeling lighter, freer, more compassionate toward yourself, and a little more willing to own your whole beautifully complicated human existence. There are some vulnerable truths in this one. There are also f-bombs, inappropriate jokes, questionable life choices, and enough joy to make sure nobody needs to schedule a recovery nap afterward.  Content Note: This episode contains candid discussion of addiction, substance use, homelessness, shame, trauma, and difficult life experiences.

    We Will Do Almost Anything for Love: The Hidden Cost of Our Need to Belong

    What are you willing to do to be loved? Most of us would like to believe there is a line we would never cross. A point where we would choose ourselves, walk away, know better. But the human need for love and belonging is powerful. It can influence what we tolerate, what we sacrifice, who we become, and even what we believe about ourselves. In this deeply personal episode of Love, Trauma & Other Plot Twists, Bunny MD shares the opening of her upcoming book, Love Language Revolution, exploring the extraordinary lengths human beings can go to in order to give love, receive love, and feel that we belong somewhere. Through stories of trauma, addiction, survival, relationships, shame, loss, and healing, this episode begins exploring a question that reaches far beyond romantic love: What has your life taught you love requires? Some answers may be beautiful. Some may be painful. And some of them may have been shaping your life long before you ever thought to question them. This is where Love Language Revolution begins. Not with another definition of love. With a deeper question about why human beings need it so damn much.

    This Episode Was Not Supposed to Exist: Grief, Addiction & Survival & the Question I Can’t Answer

    THIS EPISODE WASN’T SUPPOSED TO EXIST. Some deaths feel personal—even when you never met the person. The sudden death of Hayden Panettiere stopped Bunny MD in her tracks and changed the beginning of this podcast. This is not an obituary. It is not an investigation. And it is not an attempt to explain a life that belonged to someone else. It is what happened when one woman’s death brought Bunny face-to-face with time, survival and everything she had been waiting to say. This episode is raw and unedited—one take, no bumpers, with every pause, tremble and tear left exactly where it happened. This conversation is for anyone who has watched someone they love disappear inside pain. Anyone carrying questions that may never receive answers. Anyone who survived—and still wonders why. And anyone who needs to be met before they know how to ask for help. Some episodes entertain you. Some teach you something. And every once in a while... an episode finds you at precisely the moment you need it. This is one of those. Listen now, then follow Love, Trauma & Other Plot Twists wherever you listen—because this conversation is only beginning. Content note: This episode includes personal conversations about addiction, substance use, sobriety, relapse, trauma, grief, survivor’s guilt, suicide, motherhood and mental health.
