    Friendship Funerals💔🪦

    If your ‘squad’ disappears when you’re depressed, they were never your ride or dies—just fair-weather fakes."

    The Addicts Who Raised Me : A Dark Comedy

    What happens when the people you love most can’t—or won’t—see their own demons? This is for anyone who’s: Loved someone who’s always “quitting tomorrow” Been the “mature one” in a parent-child role reversal Had to separate the person from their addiction (without losing yourself in the process) No easy answers here just the dark humor and hard-won wisdom of loving addicts across generations. Because sometimes the bravest thing you can do is laugh at the absurdity… while refusing to repeat it.

    Therapy, Meds , and Meltdowns

    My mom called me “weak” for taking antidepressants—but fought to medicate my brother the second his anger scared her. This episode is for anyone told therapy is “for the broken,” when really, it’s the refusers who stay that way. We’re talking gendered hypocrisy, family therapy disasters (where the kidsdid all the “work”), and why crying in your therapist’s office isn’t defeat—it’s defiance. Spoiler: Calling us “snowflakes” won’t stop the cycle-breakers. It just proves we’re already stronger than they’ll ever be

    Arrests, Kidnappings, and One Direction - a Childhood In Chaos

    When most kids were playing tag, I was playing ‘Which Cop Car Will Show Up First?’ a game my brothers invented after our parents’ fights became a neighborhood spectacle. In this episode, I’m unpacking the whiplash of growing up in a home where ‘family bonding’ meant fake doctor’s appointments surprise, we’re moving states!, constant police involvement , and a dad who communicated his feelings via brick walls. Oh, and the time I weaponized a One Direction song to call my parents out on their toxic cycle. Fun, fun, fun!

    Not all Mothers are Birthgivers: Celebrating my Grandma's Legacy

    This Mother’s Day, I’m not celebrating my birth giver—I’m honoring the woman who actually raised me: my fiery, flawed, and unforgettable grandma. From tea-time with sugar milk (‘It’s real tea,kutta!’) to threatening my guy friends with a wooden spoon, she loved me with a ferocity that still carries me today. In this special tribute episode, I’m sharing stories of her chaotic devotion, her quiet sacrifices (RIP to her legendary chicken curry), and how she showed me what real mothering looks like. Grief, like love, isn’t linear. This one’s for the grandmas who become mothers, the chosen family who heal us, and the women who leave voids no one else can fill.

    Narc Tales: Blocked & Loaded - A Revenge Called Peace✌🏽

    She told me to live in my car. I told her to lose my number—permanently. In this explosive finale, we unpack the email that broke the camel’s back (and my last nerve), why blocking a narcissist feels like defusing a bomb, and how the sweetest revenge isn’t drama… it’s waking up to silence. From sugar daddy evictions to grandpa’s unconditional love, this is the story of how I traded chaos for calm, guilt trips for grit, and learned that the most powerful button isn’t ‘send’—it’s ‘block.’ Spoiler: The villain doesn’t get a redemption arc. But I? I got my life back

    Narc Tales, Part 2: Fake Love, Real Crazy – A Narcissist’s War Zone

    What’s worse than a narcissistic mother? One who weaponizes "love" like a psychological SWAT team. In this episode, I unravel the absurd and enraging tactics of performative affection—from silent "family dinners" where the only bonding happens on *her* Instagram to a birthday fiasco where the cake was for show, but the insults were free. Strap in for the time she: ✔️ Threatened suicide as a debate tactic ✔️ Tried to steal a man I didn't even want because he called *me* cute ✔️ Co-signed my dean’s opinion that "school wasn’t for me" This is the playbook of a narcissist who treats love like a prop—and family like an audience. If you’ve ever been gaslit, guilt-tripped, or outright competed with by a parent, press play. Then scream into a pillow with me. 🔥🎙️
