    TTPD is My Deconstruction Album, I'm Drinking More Right Now?? And Tiktok Got Banned

    TTPD is My Deconstruction Album, I'm Drinking More Right Now?? And Tiktok Got Banned

    Entry #47 - in which I fail to make a more upbeat, less depressing episode of this show lmao. Y'all, I KNOW some of you have been listening to TTPD and reliving religious trauma, so in this episode, I walk through a few of the most significant songs and lyrics to me. Also - I find I'm drinking a bit more than usual lately, which makes me want to re-evaluate again, and I'm also not sure if my drinking habits will change after I move? Finally, I share a few thoughts about the Tiktok news - what do YOU think is going to happen?

All things Mary!

I have been a fan of Mary for a couple of years now and she is one of my favorite people to listen to whether it’s her Prologues podcast or vlogs on YouTube. She is such a multidimensional human being with so many layers that most people can find something to relate to. Her conversations around mental health, medication, and religion are all nuanced and she continuously displays grace and spreads joy to anyone listening.

Thank you Mary for sharing your life (the highs and the lows and everything in between) with us! It’s a gift to all of us 🤗

10/10 recommend

I’ve never had a podcast genuinely make me cry—in a good way (ep. 8). I connect with so many of the topics Mary discusses and even the ones I don’t connect to, I have an appreciation for because she makes the content accessible and engaging. Especially in the season of life I’m in right now, this podcast came at the right time (i.e. living abroad, UK husband, mental health girly, new pup, guilty daughter feelings, + so many more). Thank you for being vulnerable.

Her content is home

I have been following Mary since late 2020/early 2021. Her content feels like home to me at this point! The topics she discusses & gives her own insight on is refreshing. We’re the same age, yet it feels like she is the big sister/mother I never got to have as an adult. Thank you, Mary.
