Hey, I’m Wanda. I’m 33, living in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and I’ve been working through borderline personality disorder, PTSD, and ADHD for most of my adult life. I’ve spent the last seven years in therapy and medication management, learning how to live with my mind instead of fighting it. This podcast is my way of sharing what I’ve picked up along the way. I talk about mental health news, review different treatments and tools, and have honest conversations with people who’ve been through it—whether they’re professionals or just folks trying to figure things out like me. I don’t have all the answers, but I do have experience. And I believe that talking about mental health openly can make a real difference. If you’re looking for a space that’s honest, supportive, and judgment-free, I’m glad you’re here.

    Season 2 Episode 13 Adriene Caldwell Author of Unbroken: Life Outside the Lines

    This episode is not for the faint of heart—but it is for the brave. For anyone who’s ever wondered if healing is possible after the unthinkable, this story offers proof. Our guest has lived through a constellation of traumas—emotional and physical abuse, sexual violence, homelessness, foster care, and profound loss. And yet, they’ve done more than survive. They’ve thrived. With less than 3% of former foster youth attending college, and 20% of the U.S. prison population having spent time in foster care, this episode confronts the brutal statistics—and the systems behind them. But it also offers something rarer: hope. Not the sanitized kind, but the kind forged in fire. The kind that says, “You are not alone. This pain will not last forever. Your future can be different.” https://www.unbrokencaldwell.com/ 🎙️ Big thanks to PodMatch for connecting us with another incredible guest!

    Season2Episode12 Reginald Martin: Spiritual Architect | Creator of Kametaphysics™ & Paradoxical Heka

    In this raw and resonant conversation, Reginald Martin—creator of Kametaphysics™—joins us to explore the hidden “operating systems” that shape our mental health and sense of self.

Plus, Reginald offers a guided practice so you can feel the shift in real time. No filter. Just facts.
