    How To Save Your Own Life

    I wanted to close off this year with some positivity and maybe a kick in the butt. 2025 has been the hardest, most challenging, beautiful, insightful and needed year of my life. A lot of us are experiencing burnout, growth periods, feeling lost, isolated, unworthy in life, mental health struggles, grieving loved ones/past versions of ourselves, personal development, new chapters that feel scary and uncertain; and just - life. It's hard, it's all hard.  For me, I fell into myself and imploded. But this time was different. Instead of doing it on my own, to crawl back out - I did it with aid and support. So if you're feeling lost or truly unwell - here are my 6 steps to getting your life BACK. I truly believe in these steps and in combination, they really saved my life. The last 3 months have been nothing short of amazing, difficult, gut wrenching, and life changing. I know I still have a lot of hard work to do. I think that's the whole point. Knowing the work is never really 'done'. But feeling the progress, seeing the results, and sitting back and saying, "Look at how far I've come". That's true growth. It's not boastful - it's truthful, it's honest, hard work. It's humble. ***If you're experiencing thoughts of self harm please seek immediate help.***  And if you're listening in hopes of aiding a loved one who is struggling - you've come to the right place. Just know this is just a piece of it - professional help is the ultimate solution. We can't do this work on our own. Support your loved ones, hold them close.   Instagram: @manicandmedicatedpodcast_ Send Me A Text :) Support the show

    Ideation, Real Life & Dark Times

    Back in therapy & I don’t know how I feel. Changed careers, newly single & unstable - but ready to figure myself out. Sometimes you need to be knocked down a few pegs to figure yourself out. I believe the ups & downs really have a purpose & I want to nurture this version of myself. Much love to anyone who is still figuring life out. It’s not easy & fully feels like you’re failing, but, you’re not. You’re living life’s challenges & it’s hard to weather the storm when you’re hanging on by a thread.  Podcast Insta: @manicandmedicated_ Send Me A Text :) Support the show

    God Is A (Wo)Man.

    It's been awhile since we've sat down and done a car chat. These are generally quicker episodes where I talk about things off the top of my head while I'm in the car. It's my time to 'clear my head' and get to what's really on my mind. I make a correction from my last episode, have real time conflictions, and also discuss new fears of the future.

    Social Anxiety is not just the typical quiet and shy individual who feels ‘out of place’. You could be the ‘life of the party’ and experience spurts of high anxiety. You could be in a conversation but half of you is ready to cry. You could be smiling but inside you feel exhausted because you are beyond overstimulated.  I have always struggled with being around people I do not know. I am scared to be misunderstood, not liked, and frankly - I am scared of humans. Maybe that is from trauma or maybe it is because I just do not trust people openly. It takes time. Which is fine. I thought being a homebody and preferring my alone time.. more.. was a negative thing. But I ENJOY IT. I love being home. I love recharging my batteries in peace. I love cleaning my home. I love watching a good movie. I love being curled up with a story - getting lost in someone else’s life when mine feels like a lot.  Do I still love to be around people? Yes. But in my own way. So I hope if you are listening you know it is okay to be a little scared. It is not the end of the world. It is just how you navigate it all. It is okay to be different. xoxo c.

    Why Do I Date Toxic People?

    You're in a cycle of dating losers and you keep asking yourself, 'Why me?'. Well, sometimes it's you, you are making choices that are leading you to choose these people - but it's not all your fault. Sometimes we have generational trauma, parental woes, trauma bonds, the list goes on.. I'm breaking down how to see the flaws in ourselves while also realizing you're so deserving and you need to do better for YOU. Love you, mean it. xoxo c.

    I Went To Hawaii

    ** I know Hawaii is NOT an international flight - it just FELT like one ** I went to Hawaii with my mom for 11 days and I had THE BEST time. I met someone who showed me a different perspective on life, sang  in front of strangers, did things scared, saw waterfalls, hiked, went to a gay bar, experienced dole whip, ate amazing food, fell in love with myself more, got closer to my mom, and made memories that will last a lifetime. Say YES to more things, you will thank yourself later.

    But Daddy, I Love Him | How To Function After A Breakup

    I am still going through it - so I figured you might be too. Here are the most healthy ways to get onto the other side of a breakup. I know we still want to reach out to them or fix the situation, but the best thing right now is space. Things like no contact, boundaries and surrounding yourself with YOUR people are what will ultimately get you through it. I hope this is helpful or you at least feel less alone in this weird time after a breakup. Sometimes we are a little delulu and need some tough love to see the light. Love you, mean it. xoxo c.
