    Addictive Homes, Lost Childhoods & the Fight to Feel Safe [S2 Ep. 12]

    In this deeply personal episode of The Bare Collective, Larissa and Jasy open up about their experiences growing up with alcoholic parents and how those experiences shaped their understanding of addiction, boundaries, and emotional resilience. This isn’t just a conversation about alcohol... it’s about the ripple effects of addiction through generations. It’s about the invisible emotional labour children of addicts often carry. And it’s about the courage it takes to choose a different path. Together, the hosts explore how cultural norms can mask addictive behaviour, why boundaries are essential (even when it’s hard) and what it means to become a cycle breaker for the next generation. Whether you’ve struggled with addiction yourself or been impacted by someone else’s, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and hope. This is an invitation to reclaim your voice, your values, and your emotional safety. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Addiction impacts far more people than we talk about • Alcohol culture can normalize dysfunctional patterns • Children of addicts often grow up with blurred emotional boundaries • Boundaries are not cruelty—they’re protection • Self-advocacy is necessary in healing generational trauma • You are allowed to walk away from relationships that harm you • Recovery is possible—and so is breaking the cycle • Healing starts with awareness, compassion, and support You don’t have to repeat the patterns you were raised in.

    Hopeful Hearts, Harsh Truths & Holding On Too Long [S2. Ep.10]

    In this follow-up episode to Part 1, Larissa and Jasy dive deeper into one of the most confronting truths in dating: the difference between loving who someone is and who you hope they’ll become. Why do we hold onto potential? What part of us thinks we can save, fix, or guide someone into their evolution? This conversation takes it further—into the emotional weight of romanticizing potential, the illusion of control in love, and how our desire to help or change someone is often a reflection of our own unmet needs. This episode is here to stir discomfort, clarity, and self-honesty. It’s not just about them—it’s about you, your patterns, and your power to choose reality over fantasy. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Dating potential is self-betrayal disguised as love • The “ick” might be emotional misalignment—not a red flag • Relationships are mirrors for the parts of us that still need healing • Control often masks fear of abandonment • You can’t change someone who doesn’t want to change • Boundaries are loving—not just for them, but for you • There’s power in acceptance, even if it means walking away • Loving someone doesn’t mean staying If you’ve ever confused potential with partnership, this one will hit—and maybe even set you free.

    Dating the Dream, Ignoring the Reality: He’s not who you think he is, he is... [S.2. Ep. 9]

    In this raw and revealing episode of The Bare Collective, Jazzy and Larissa dive into one of the most common emotional traps in modern dating: falling for potential over reality. Why do so many women stay in relationships hoping he’ll “become” the man they see in their mind? Why do we cling to the fantasy instead of accepting what’s right in front of us? This conversation is a deep call to self-reflection. We explore the emotional cost of trying to change someone, the illusion of control in love, and how our relationships mirror our own unmet needs and healing journeys. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck between who someone is and who you hope they could be, this episode will hit deep. And it might just set you free. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Dating potential is a form of emotional self-abandonment • Wanting someone to change can be a distraction from your own growth • Acceptance is the foundation of real love • Fantasy is seductive—but reality is what sets you free • You can’t change someone who doesn’t want to change This one might feel uncomfortable but clarity always is, before it’s liberating.
