The Real Holistic Housewife

OMGoodness!! I feel like you are me in another place!! I just listened to the second one because that’s the one you posted, but now I have to go back to the first one!! Omgeeee!!! Okay, so starting from the psych unit!!! I was a BHU(psych) nurse for 5 years!!! Everything you’re saying is true!! From the strip search, to forcing the meds, along with the real crazies!! There is no in between!! It was through that journey, along with my hysterectomy, that let me to the natural path that I’m on now!! Immediately after my hysterectomy, I legit thought I was crazy!! I had the craziest thoughts, I’d cry for no reason, and I just felt so alone because no one knew how I was feeling!! A good counselor and an AMAZING naturopath helped me get my thoughts straight and my hormones back on track!! I had the same thoughts, I was broken, and no one would ever want to be with me.. and sleeeeeep!!! I’ll say this until the day I die!!! You will never know how important sleep is to your mental and cognitive state until you become so sleep deprived that when you try to have a conversation you sound like a crack head!!! I still have trouble sleeping sometimes!! Not that I am proud of this, but I feel like I can say it since you opened up. I was so desperate to sleep that I would take enough over the counter sleep aids to tranquilize a horse, and I still wouldn’t sleep. I took so many sleep aids one night, that I forced myself to stay awake, and remind myself to breathe because my respiration were literally down to like 6-8. The next day I knew I had to see someone!! Imagine how that story sounds when you’re talking to a psychiatrist! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m not trying to kill myself, but if you don’t help me sleep, I’m pretty sure I’ll accidentally do it at some point.. 😔 ahhhhhhhhh Girl!!!! I feel your pain!!! I absolutely love this podcast!!! I love how you open up and are just so real!!! I love hearing your stories!! It makes me feel like I’m not alone! That someone else has gone through some really rough times too!! Keep up the great work!! I don’t know how you do it all!! But remember, don’t have your hand in so many things just to keep your mind off other things.. that may be the trigger of your most recent one!! Keep doing you!!! I think you are single handily one of the most AMAZING human beings I’ve ever met!! And I haven’t even met you in person yet!! You are a total ROCKSTAR!! ♥️😘♥️

After listening to the first one I felt like I had just opened up to a good friend and they were pouring into me. I love her “no filter” approach- tells it like it is! I can’t wait to listen to more!

Real, raw and authentic. This is exactly what Brooke shares in her podcasts and as a fellow mother with similar struggles I appreciate hearing that I’m not alone. Can’t wait for the next podcasts!!
