In this episode, I am calling out the toxic habit of comparing suffering. Is cancer more traumatic than diabetes or celiac disease? Who the fuck decides that... and based on what criteria? Pain is not a scoreboard. Trauma is not a hierarchy.

When we rank trauma, we silence people. We minimize real experiences. And we teach ourselves to question whether we are “allowed” to hurt. That ends here.

We are talking about how trauma is personal, how comparison keeps you stuck, and why honoring your own experience (without justification!) is where real healing begins.

No rankings. No permission needed. Your pain is valid. Period.

I have realized I do not like pools, I do not like bars… so why would I put myself in those environments just to meet people? That is not me. And the truth is, when you force yourself into spaces that do not align with who you are, you end up drained, disconnected, and still not finding what you are looking for.

In this episode, I talk about trusting your preferences, honoring what feels right for you, and allowing things to unfold organically. The right people, the right moments, they come when you are being yourself, not when you are trying to fit into places that do not feel natural.

This is your permission to stop doing things you do not want to do just because you think you “should.” Let it happen in its own time. The more aligned you are with yourself, the easier everything else flows.

But then a different question hit me: what if this is not about them… what if this is self-sabotage? What if the discomfort I am feeling is actually fear: fear of stepping into something bigger, fear of being seen, fear of succeeding?

In this episode, I explore that turning point. How sometimes, right when we are on the edge of growth, we start pulling back. Not because we cannot fucking do it... but because a part of us does not believe we are worthy of it.

If you have ever found yourself wanting to quit when things start getting real, this conversation is your invitation to pause, reflect, and ask: am I blocked… or am I about to break through?

And yes… I messed up my presentation. Not my best moment. But also? It was my first time. And instead of hiding or backing out, I showed up. I did not chicken out. And that fucking counts.

In this episode, I get honest about what happens when perfectionism creeps in, how easy it is to forget our own advice, and why giving yourself grace matters even more when things do not go as planned. Because growth is not pretty, and sometimes it looks like fucking stumbling your way through something new and being proud anyway.

We live in a world where everyone has something to say, and it is easy to get caught up in other people’s opinions, take them personally, or start questioning yourself. But here is the truth: opinions are shaped by someone else’s experiences, beliefs, and biases, they’re not absolute truth. Or, as I always say, opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, and they stink.

This conversation is about learning to separate what is real from wha is just someone else’s perspective, so you can stop giving so much power to voices that do not actually define you. Because once you see the difference, you get to choose what you take in, and what you let go.

In this episode, I talk about how quickly we jump to conclusions when someone thinks, acts, or chooses differently than we would. We make it mean something about them… and sometimes about us. But what if their perspective is not wrong... just different?

This is an invitation to slow down, get curious, and extend a little more grace. Not everything is black and white, and not everyone is operating from the same lens. When we remember that, we create more understanding, less judgment, and a whole lot less unnecessary conflict.

I am in the middle of learning something new (and yes, there is a big announcement coming), and I can feel it all: the excitement, the impatience, the “why is this so hard?” moments. But instead of rushing through it, I am choosing to be in it. To notice the growth, the small wins, and even the struggles that come with learning.

This is your invitation to slow down and look for the magic in each step, not just the finish line. Because the truth is, the journey is not something to get through... it is the whole point.

In this episode, I dig into the real reason anger escalates so quickly. Our brains love to personalize things, assume intent, and run with interpretations that may or may not be true. Yes, something happened,but the meaning we attach to it is often what pours gasoline on the fire.

When we slow down and start identifying the thoughts behind the anger, something powerful happens. We can challenge those thoughts, question the assumptions, and suddenly the emotional intensity begins to drop. The situation may still matter, but it stops owning us. This conversation is about learning how to catch that mental spiral so anger does not run the whole show.

That small realization got me thinking about something bigger: what we tolerate in our lives without questioning it. Sometimes we feel stuck, trapped, or frustrated by circumstances that seem out of our control. But the truth is, if we are not changing something, in many cases we are choosing to keep living with it.

In this episode, I explore that uncomfortable but empowering idea. Where in your life are you feeling stuck? What have you accepted as “just the way it is”? This is an invitation to look honestly at those areas and ask yourself whether you are truly trapped, or simply choosing what feels familiar.

Let me tell you what is not adding up. I recently paid $130 for a Pap smear, $68 for a bone densitometry, and $90 for a 3D mammogram. In Nevada? Those same tests would have cost me $222, $185, and $368. And here is the kicker: when I was paying $400 a month for health insurance, some of these were not even fully covered.

So… what the fuck was I paying for?

In this episode, I reflect on the absurdity of healthcare costs and the frustration so many of us feel trying to do the “responsible” thing by carrying insurance, only to still face outrageous bills. This is not a political rant: it is a real-life comparison that made me stop and ask, “What the fuck is wrong with this picture?”

If you have ever felt confused, frustrated, or financially stretched just trying to take care of your health, this conversation will resonate. Because preventive care should not feel like a luxury.

In this episode, I unpack how perfectionism and procrastination love to dress up as “standards” and “preparation,” when really they are just sneaky forms of self-sabotage. That voice that says, “If it’s not deep, why the fuck bother”? Yeah, that is fear in a fancy outfit.

Not every episode has to change lives. Not every moment has to be profound. Sometimes showing up messy, unsure, and imperfect is the win. This one is about pressing record anyway, and what happens when you stop waiting to feel ready.

In this episode, I explore how easy it is to fixate on the black dot and let it define the whole picture. We zoom in so hard on what is wrong that we completely miss what is right. The challenge may be real, and it deserves attention, but it is rarely the entire story.

If you have been consumed by one difficult situation, this is your invitation to step back and widen your lens. Learn to see the white space. Learn to appreciate what is still good. Because sometimes shifting your focus does not erase the do, but it reminds you that it is not the whole page.

I will explore ways to reclaim the day so it feels supportive instead of painful, whether that means setting boundaries with social media, creating your own rituals, or simply giving yourself permission to feel whatever comes up without shame. This is not about pretending you are thrilled to be single; it is about honoring yourself, your reality, and your emotional needs.

If Valentine’s Day has ever made you question yourself or feel “less than,” this conversation is here to remind you that love is not limited to romantic partners, and you are worthy exactly as you are.

What I am most proud of? The discipline. Showing up every week, recording consistently, and committing to this space even when life got messy. That is how I got here, one episode at a time... and that is exactly how I am doing Season Two.

Thank you for listening, sharing, and supporting me through this journey. I truly could not do this without you. Season Two starts now, and we are just getting warmed up.

In this episode, I get real about moving by myself. I got it done, and yes, I felt proud of the accomplishment. I also felt the weight of having to do it alone. Both things can be true at the same time. Independence can feel empowering and exhausting when it is fueled by survival instead of choice.

So if you find yourself muscling through life, pushing down your needs, and telling yourself “I have got it” while quietly wishing someone would show up, this conversation is for you. Strength does not mean doing everything alone. Sometimes real healing starts when we let ourselves be supported.

In this episode, I talk about finding the balance between being kind and completely disappearing. Because here is the uncomfortable truth: someone is going to be disappointed. The question is, why does it always have to be you? Setting boundaries does not make you selfish, cold, or uncaring. It makes you honest.

This is an invitation to stop putting yourself last on your own fucking list. Let other people feel their feelings. You are allowed to protect your energy, choose yourself, and still be a good human.

In this episode, I talk about why the moments that stretch us the most are usually the ones that feel the worst. Growth does not come with a warm blanket and a gold star, it comes with discomfort, doubt, and a whole lot of “what the fuck am I doing?” And yet, those are the moments that actually move us forward.

So if you are feeling uncomfortable right now, maybe that is not a problem to fix. Maybe it is proof you are evolving. This is your reminder that comfort keeps you stuck, but growth changes your life... even when it makes you squirm first.

This episode is about that uncomfortable, honest space no one talks about: the one where you can be deeply grateful and quietly grieving at the same time. Where you have chosen the change, wanted the change, worked your ass off for the change… and yet you still miss parts of your old life. That does not make you ungrateful or broken, it makes you human.

So if you have ever questioned yourself for not feeling “happy enough” during a new chapter, this one’s for you. New beginnings do not cancel out loss. They sit right next to it. And both get to exist, no rainbow farting required.

This year, I am not playing that game. Instead of setting myself up for failure with resolutions that feel like punishment, I am choosing intentions: energy, direction, purpose, without the shame hangover.

In this episode, I am talking about why intentions actually stick, why resolutions feel like diet culture for your soul, and why you deserve to start the year with clarity instead of self-bullying. If you are ready to walk into the new year like you own the place (and skip the Quitters Day drop-out club), this one is for you. Let’s begin with intention, not pressure—and see what happens when you give yourself permission to evolve instead of perform.

Happy New Year!

Next came the move to the beach. It’s beautiful: right on the ocean, with waves I can see and hear from my balcony. Also? No hot water. And it is far from the city, which means I now have to consider buying a vehicle, something I really did not want to do. Welcome to fucking first-world problems with a side of reality.

I found myself frustrated and overwhelmed until a conversation with an American woman who moved here three years ago completely shifted my perspective. She understood exactly where I was coming from and validated every feeling I was having. That moment reminded me to give myself grace and time to adjust instead of expecting everything to click instantly.

If you are navigating change, discomfort, or the messy middle of a big transition, I hope this episode reminds you that you are not doing it wrong... you are just doing something new.

What looked like chaos turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The airline delivered the other four suitcases straight to my hotel the next day, saving me from dragging them around like a stressed-out pack mule.

In this episode, I reflect on how far I have come, how responding instead of reacting changes everything, and how life has a funny way of rewarding you when you do not lose your shit. Lost luggage, found perspective, and proof that emotional growth actually shows up in real life, not just in therapy speak.

Somewhere along the way, the season got louder, flashier, and more chaotic… and people forgot to slow the fuck down. So here is your gentle (and slightly spicy) reminder: come back to yourself. Center. Ground. Breathe. And THEN go back out into the madness if you must.

And if you are wondering what my favorite holidays are around this time, here they are: Thanksgiving and New Year’s, because gratitude and fresh starts feel a whole lot more honest than wrapping paper and fake snow.

Well, joke’s on all of us because he celebrated 24 years of marriage and lived to be 97. Yup. The man who married in his seventies ended up having the longest marriage in the entire family.

So the next time someone tells you you are “too old” to start something new? Smile, flip your metaphorical hair, and remember my dad, proof that life does not give a damn fuck about your timeline. It just wants you to keep living it.

Mistakes are not proof you are broken, they are proof you are learning, evolving, and refusing to stay stuck. When you know better, you do better… and until then, you try, you fall, you get back up, and maybe you cry into a pillow or two.

So instead of dragging your past self like an ex who still owes you money, maybe thank them! They got you here. Messy, wiser, sassier, and beautifully human. Cheers to mistakes, the greatest (and most persistent) teachers we never asked for.

The truth is, funerals are for the living. When I am gone, I will not hear the memories, the gratitude, or the ways I touched someone’s life. So I created a moment where I could. And what happened was beautiful, emotional, and more meaningful than I ever expected.

My “funeral” was a success! Not because of the theme, but because of the love in the room, the honesty shared, and the reminder that we do not need to wait for loss to celebrate each other.

In this episode, I reflect on why it mattered so much, what it taught me, and why giving (and receiving) appreciation now is one of the most powerful gifts we can offer.

Here is the deal: neither one is wrong, we are just built different. Women connect through sharing, men connect through solving. But somewhere between “just listen to me” and “I can fix that,” communication goes straight to hell.

In this episode, I break down what is really happening when these worlds collide and how to make your expectations (and reactions) a little more realistic. Because honestly, we could all use a reminder that not every conversation needs a damn screwdriver or a TED Talk.

Tune in, laugh a little, maybe cringe a lot... and learn how to stop turning every talk into a full-blown battle of the sexes.

Spoiler alert: understanding each other might actually be sexier than being right.

I had a situation that had me all fired up, ready to jump in and fix it, control it, manage it. But I didn’t. I stepped back. I let it breathe. And guess what? It took care of itself. No forcing. No overanalyzing. Just… time.

This episode is about that tricky balance: knowing when to act and when to chill the fuck out. Because sometimes the universe doesn’t need your micromanagement; it just needs you to trust the process.

Now, don’t get me wrong. This isn’t me giving you permission to procrastinate or avoid the hard conversations. It’s a reminder that not every problem needs your fingerprints all over it. Some things unfold perfectly when you finally stop trying to control the fucking outcome.

So, grab your coffee (or your wine), take that extra hour, and let’s talk about how doing nothing, when done intentionally, can be exactly what needs to happen.

In this episode, I talk about grounding, staying present, and why trying to tackle everything at once will only burn you out. The key? Break it down. Tiny steps. Bite-sized tasks. One little win after another until the whole damn thing is done.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to start. Be patient with yourself. Trust the process. And stop acting like you are behind! You are exactly where you need to be.

Recently, a few of my clients told me my story inspired them to finally do their thing, and holy shit, that hit me right in the heart. It reminded me that showing up authentically (flaws, F-bombs, and all) actually matters. It gives other people permission to do the same.

So this episode? It’s your kick in the ass. Stop waiting to be “ready.” Stop dimming your light because you think someone’s already doing it better. Nobody can do it like you. Period.

Get out there. Be bold. Be loud. Be you. Because the world needs that exact brand of magic only you’ve got, and it’s about fucking time you share it.

In Part 2, I get real about what it means to take your power back when life tries to knock you down. Cancer came to teach me something I didn’t know I needed to learn: that I’m tougher, louder, and more alive than I ever gave myself credit for.

This isn’t a story about sickness, it’s a story about strength. About flipping the script, giving fear the middle finger, and turning pain into purpose. Because if cancer thought it was going to break me, it seriously underestimated who the hell it was dealing with.

Today in Part 1, I lay it all out: the shock, the disbelief, the anger, and the “what the actual fuck” that comes when someone delivers life-altering news like they’re reading a grocery list. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s a glimpse into how a system that’s supposed to heal can instead leave scars that go way beyond the body.

But here’s the thing: this story isn’t just about cancer—it’s about power. It’s about refusing to be broken, finding your voice when people try to silence it, and realizing that sometimes the first battle you fight isn’t with your body—it’s with the arrogance of those who forget you’re human.

So in this episode, I’m keeping it brutally real about how I deal when everything starts to feel overwhelming. The trick? You stop trying to swallow the whole damn elephant. You take it one bite at a time. Break it down, piece by piece, until it’s actually doable.

Because here’s the truth: overwhelm doesn’t mean you’re failing—it just means you’re human. I’ll share how I’ve been breaking my own chaos into smaller wins, how I stop myself from spiraling, and why control starts with clarity, not perfection.

If you’re staring down a massive project, a big change, or just life being life—this episode is your permission to slow down, get organized, and remember: you don’t have to do it all at once. Just start with one small step and keep going.

Time with my friends. Time laughing until our stomachs hurt. Time sitting around a table, talking about everything and nothing. Time just being seen and loved for exactly who I am. That’s the good stuff, the irreplaceable currency. And here’s the truth: time is the one commodity you can’t earn back. No refunds, no extensions, no do-overs. When it’s gone, it’s fucking gone.

We live in a world that tells us to chase material things—houses, cars, promotions, likes on a screen—but at the end of the day, none of that fills the void. Nobody remembers the car you drove or the shoes you wore when you’re gone. They remember the way you showed up, the laughs you shared, the connection you gave.

In this episode, I get real about what matters most, how easy it is to get distracted by bullshit, and why I’m choosing to value the one thing I can’t buy more of: time. If you’ve ever found yourself running on autopilot, chasing stuff that doesn’t actually matter, consider this your reminder to pause and ask yourself: Am I giving my time to what—and who—really counts?

What started as one shaky, terrifying little video turned into a full-on expansion of who I am. Videos, this podcast, and a whole lot of growth I didn’t even know I needed. Turns out? This is actually fun as hell.

So today, I’m celebrating my own courage and asking you: what’s the scary, uncomfortable, exciting thing you need to do next? Because trust me—one bold step can change everything.

And then came the surprise gem: a letter from my mom on my 40th birthday—twenty years ago—telling me how proud she was of me. Instead of dragging me into heavy emotions, it lit me up. It was one of those moments that makes you smile through the dust and think, “Wow, I really needed this today.”

This episode is about memory lane without the melodrama, finding the treasures in the mess, and realizing that sometimes the past doesn’t weigh you down—it lifts you up.

And the timing couldn’t be more fitting: this is Solo Episode 29, which is the day I was born! Talk about alignment.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a decision that’s equal parts bold and electrifying. It’s not safe. It’s not small. But it’s real, and it’s happening.

I am addressing taking scary leaps, making bold moves, and why sometimes you’ve got to bet on yourself even when the outcome isn’t guaranteed.

If you’re craving a shake-up, a little inspiration, or just want to hear me drop the biggest news I’ve shared yet—hit play, because I can’t fit this one in a description.

This episode is about those times when the universe taps you on the shoulder and says, “Tag, you’re it.” It’s about learning to trust that you can handle more than you think, that your presence matters, and that sometimes, the biggest wins come from being exactly where you’re needed—even when you didn’t see it coming.

And let’s be real: walking away from that moment, I wasn’t just relieved—I was proud as hell. It was a reminder that growth doesn’t always look like big, shiny milestones. Sometimes it’s standing in the middle of chaos and realizing you’ve got the power to calm the storm.

So if you’ve ever doubted yourself, or if you’re waiting for proof that you’re capable of more than you think—this episode is for you!

And then it hit me: I’d never talk to a client the way I was talking to myself. So why the hell do we think we deserve that kind of abuse? Compassion is not complete if we don't give it to ourselves!

So this episode? It’s a call-out. Stop being impatient with yourself. Stop dragging your own ass through the mud when you’re learning something new. You’re not broken, you’re just human—and humans need time, grace, and room to grow.

Let’s reframe that inner bully, because honestly, she needs to shut the fuck up.

When you initiate change, you’re steering the bus—still scary, but you’ve got agency, intention, and a say in the speed. I’ll cover micro-moves that build momentum, how to keep your nervous system from freaking the hell out, and why “progress, not perfection” is the only metric that matters.

When change is imposed on you, it’s a whole different beast—grief, anger, shock, and a control hangover. I’ll walk you through triage (what to drop, keep, and delegate), naming the losses so you can move through them (not around them), and setting boundaries when everyone suddenly has opinions about your life.

You don’t have to like change—but you do need to learn how to ride it without eating pavement. Tune in, take a breath, and let’s do this... messy, human, and real.

Get ready to:

• Stop pussyfooting around your dreams—perfection is a shit sandwich, so take the damn first bite
• Harness the magic of omens (yes, even that weird-ass coincidence you just had) and let the universe kick your ass into gear
• Ditch the “I don’t know what I’m doing” anxiety—embrace the glorious chaos and trust that your heart has more street smarts than your brain
• Use cussing as a freaking coping mechanism—because sometimes “fuck it” is the best life advice you’ll ever get

No more waiting for permission, clarity, or a neon sign from God. This podcast is your battle cry to leap before you look—and to swear like a sailor while you’re at it. Tune in, turn it up, and let’s get fucking real.

I also spill the tea on a recent experience with a podcast host who bailed on me while I was at the studio—because I’m “The Swearing Therapist” and she’s Christian. Didn’t even have the balls to say it to my face. Not even a hello. You don’t have to like my language, but at least respect my fucking humanity.

If you’ve ever felt judged, underestimated, or need inspiration to take your next step, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I share the sheer joy (read: rage) of trying to get a straight answer out of a rep who deserves an Olympic medal in saying a lot without saying anything.

If you’ve ever been stuck in bureaucratic limbo while trying to get help for yourself or your clients, this one’s for you. Praise where praise is due though—girl managed to talk for 20 minutes and still say nothing. Truly, an artist of avoidance

We’re diving into how these mindsets show up in your everyday life, how they hold you back, and how to start shifting gears. Because spoiler alert: you’re more capable than you think.

Inspired by those teenage retail workers who DGAF when a Karen starts yelling — they just call the manager because they’re not getting paid enough to deal with that bullshit.

Same. I’m not getting paid enough (spiritually, emotionally, energetically) to carry all this shit on my own. So I mentally hand it off to God/Universe/Whatever with a “Not my job. Manager!”

So now when I hit a wall, instead of white-knuckling through it, I mentally hand it over to the big boss upstairs. Call it God, the Universe, Divine Order, or just your inner peace — whatever works.

This one’s for the control freaks, the fixers, the overthinkers — come laugh, cry, and maybe even practice letting go with me.

In this episode, we’re naming and shaming imposter syndrome. I’ll break down what it actually is (hint: it’s not just “self-doubt”), how it shows up (spoiler: perfectionism, procrastination, and overworking are all part of its shady crew), and what the hell you can do to shut it the fuck up. I’m not here to coddle your inner critic—I’m here to help you fire that asshole and take your fucking power back.

So if you're tired of second-guessing yourself, downplaying your brilliance, or feeling like you’re winging life on a tightrope made of anxiety—this episode is your wake-up call.

Growing old is a privilege denied to many. In this episode, I’m getting loud about why we need to stop downplaying our birthdays and start treating them like the sacred, badass milestones they are. So whether it’s your birthday too, or you’ve been dreading yours, listen in and let’s flip the script on aging, worth, and celebration.

Buy the cake. Say thank you. Wear the crown. And if no one’s told you lately—you’re doing a damn good job staying alive. That alone is worth celebrating.

We’re diving into how superstition feels like safety but often turns into self-sabotage. I'll share my own messy-ass journey from magical thinking to actual empowerment — and why taking responsibility for your life is scarier (and sexier) than any Friday the 13th curse.

This episode is about breaking the spell — because superstition gave me rules, but healing gave me freedom

Abuse isn’t always about bruises or broken bones. Sometimes it’s the mindfuck of gaslighting, the sting of verbal attacks, or the silent soul-crushing that happens behind closed doors. In this no-holds-barred episode, I break down the different types of abuse that fuck with your head, your heart, and your sense of self.

We’re talking emotional manipulation, psychological mind games, coercive control, and all the shit that’s often dismissed or hidden under the rug. I’m bringing in stories from my clinical work, my own damn life, and the brutal truths people are too scared to say out loud.

If you’ve ever wondered “Was that really abuse?”—this episode is for you. You're not crazy. You’re not alone. And you sure as hell don’t have to stay stuck.

And how did your culture shape those roles? In many families—especially immigrant, Latinx, Black, Asian, or collectivist cultures—birth order isn’t just a dynamic, it’s a duty. Expectations around gender, respect, sacrifice, and success hit differently depending on where you come from and what your family believed made you “a good son” or “a strong daughter.”

In this episode, we dig into how birth order and culture collide to shape who you had to be—and how that’s still impacting you now. We’ll talk about unspoken family rules, emotional roles we never signed up for, and how these old patterns still show up in your adult life—especially when you’re triggered, anxious, or feeling stuck.

We’ll talk about how grief can show up as anger, numbness, guilt, or even relief—and why all of it is valid. I’ll share personal stories, clinical insights, and some unfiltered truth about navigating loss without bypassing your feelings or sugarcoating the process.

Whether you’re grieving a person, a relationship, or a part of yourself, this episode is for you.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes mentions of death, depression, and emotional pain.

From all-or-nothing thinking to catastrophizing and emotional reasoning, I'll break down the most common distortions and how they fuck with your mental health. Expect real talk, practical tips, and of course, some well-placed swearing to keep it authentic. If you’ve ever caught yourself spiraling in negative thoughts and wondered, “Why the fuck do I do this?”, this one’s for you.

I’m diving into the messy truth about perfectionism, how it keeps us stuck, and why DONE is way the hell better than perfect. Let’s talk about letting go of unrealistic expectations, showing up as we are, and giving ourselves permission to be human. Because spoiler alert: progress beats perfection every fucking time.

We’re done with people-pleasing. We’re done with second-guessing. It’s time to own your voice and make it impossible to ignore (in the best way).

🔥 Inside this episode, we analyze and practice the Assertiveness Formula, which:

✅ Focuses on the behavior, not the person (avoids blame).

✅ Clearly communicates feelings (so they understand impact).

✅ States needs directly (so you’re not leaving them guessing).

Grab a pen (you’re gonna want to write this down), and let’s get you fired up to take up space — unapologetically.

Tune in — and let’s get uncomfortable, in the best way.

We’ll talk about:

🔥 Why honesty isn’t always the whole truth

🔥 How trauma impacts our need for transparency (or fear of it)

🔥 When “radical honesty” becomes just an excuse for being an asshole

🔥 Practical ways to communicate truthfully without crossing boundaries

Tune in for some unfiltered insights, real talk, and a few F-bombs as we explore how to be authentic without setting ourselves on fire. 🎤💥

Listen now and let’s get real! 🎧🔥 #Honesty #Transparency #KeepingItReal #TheSwearingTherapist

In this episode, I dive deep into three things that mess with my mental and physical well-being: the dreaded time change, my irrational fear of dogs, and the constant anxiety of being judged. Whether it's the toll daylight saving time takes on my body, the fear of being around dogs that I've never been able to shake, or the pressure of always feeling under a microscope, I talk about how these experiences affect my life. It’s a raw and honest discussion on how we cope with things that don't fit into societal expectations and how we can start embracing our quirks—judgments and all. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit in, this one's for you.

In this episode of Keeping It Real with Zulma: The Swearing Therapist, we’re diving into the difference between reacting and responding—and why mastering this skill can change your life.

Ever snapped at someone and regretted it later? Or found yourself in an emotional whirlwind over something minor? That’s reacting—automatic, impulsive, and often driven by past wounds. Responding, on the other hand, gives you space to process, think, and choose your words or actions intentionally.

We’ll explore:

✅ The role of mindfulness and self-awareness in emotional regulation

✅ Practical techniques to shift from reacting to responding in everyday situations

I’ll also share personal stories (yep, including my own less-than-proud moments) and real-world examples to help you build this crucial skill.

Tune in, take a deep breath, and let’s learn how to respond—not react.
