    Knowing Better Doesn't Always Mean Feeling Better with Anastasia Gold

    You can know your triggers, recognize your patterns, understand your attachment wounds, and still find yourself doing the very things you thought you'd outgrown. So what does growth actually look like when knowing better doesn't always mean feeling better? In this episode of Party Girl Interrupted, I'm joined by writer and creator Anastasia Gold of Anastasia Unfiltered for an honest, sometimes philosophical conversation about self-awareness, identity, relationships, and the messy reality of personal growth. We talk about the difference between understanding yourself and actually changing your behavior, the pressure to become a better version of yourself, and why growth doesn't necessarily mean struggling less. We also get into making ourselves smaller to fit into relationships, confusing passion with chaos, and learning to sit with uncomfortable feelings without making them mean something about who we are. Because maybe the goal isn't to become someone entirely different. Maybe it's learning to give yourself a little more grace while you're still figuring things out. In this conversation: Why self-awareness doesn't automatically lead to change Recognizing growth without needing external proof The difference between passion and being "too much" Emotional triggers, old patterns, and self-judgment Making room for every version of ourselves Find Anastasia: Anastasia Unfiltered on Substack. If this conversation resonates, follow Party Girl Interrupted and share it with someone who's learning to be a little kinder to themselves.

    The Lives We Don’t Get to Live

    We talk a lot about grief when someone dies. We don't talk nearly as much about all the other things we grieve. Relationships. Friendships. Cities. Careers. Old versions of ourselves. The future we were so sure we were going to have. After losing my uncle recently, I started thinking about the different ways grief shows up in our lives—and how sometimes the hardest thing to mourn is something that technically never happened at all. In this solo episode, I talk about grieving the lives we don't get to live, why reinvention can sometimes become another way of running, and the question I've been asking myself lately: What exactly am I grieving? Because moving forward doesn't mean something didn't matter. And grief isn't the opposite of moving forward. Sometimes it's part of how we do.

    When Success Stops Feeling Like Success with Amanda Baudier

    Amanda Baudier spent 14 years at the center of New York City's nightlife industry, building one of hospitality's biggest brands while living the life so many people dream about.

Today, Amanda is a somatic practitioner, executive coach, and founder of Becoming Collective, helping entrepreneurs and founders regulate their nervous systems, navigate burnout, and build businesses without losing themselves in the process.

    Turning Pain Into Purpose with Joey Bachrach

    Some of the people who make us feel the safest aren't the ones who've avoided hardship. They're the ones who've walked through it. This week, I sit down with Joey Bachrach, founder of Rainbow Hill Recovery, to talk about addiction, recovery, shame, sexual assault, identity, and what it really means to turn pain into purpose. Joey shares how his own experiences with addiction and surviving multiple sexual assaults shaped the way he now supports others in recovery. We also explore why community matters, the importance of affirming care, harm reduction, and how healing allows us to show up differently for the people who need us most. In this episode we discuss:Joey's journey through addiction and recovery - Surviving sexual assault and healing from trauma- Shame, vulnerability, and self-worth- Why lived experience makes better helpers - Harm reduction vs. shame-based recovery- Building Rainbow Hill Recovery and Rainbow Hill Foundation- Creating spaces where people truly belong If this conversation resonated with you, please follow, rate, and share the podcast with someone who may need it.
