Hello! Welcome to the first episode of 2026! In this episode, I talk about how I rewired my brain to see acts of bravery as my new normal. A lot of my life has been composed of constantly taking leaps of faith, and this, although challenging, has been extremely useful in shaping my life into a fulfilling one. I'm a firm believer that life does not have to be hard or painful. The mark of true resilience is in shifting negatives into positives. We've been conditioned to believe that struggle is necessary, but all that is truly needed for human beings to be happy is to refine our belief system and the way we function automatically. Bravery is not necessary when we act from a place of joy because at that point, there is nothing to be brave about! 

For the last episode of the year, I sit down with my first-ever guest, Z33R0! Z33R0 has been my friend since 2021 when I first moved to LA and we have been through so many crazy fun times! In this episode, we dive into his projects, dating and partying in the US vs Europe, kink shaming, and keeping strict standards in love. Plus, the questions you’ve been waiting for: Is painting the trade acceptable? Who truly deserves a deuched hole?

I believe at my very core that triggers are actually invitations to heal. In this episode, I talk about how On the Spot was born from my own VERY messy moments. Inspired by therapy and EMDR I created a method that helped emotionally regulate me on the spot as I felt overwhelming surges of emotion. My Trigger Work Journal includes this 8-step guide I created to help turn emotional spirals into clarity, compassion, and calm. I hope this finds you at the right time, and I'm wishing you the best on your healing journey.    00:00 - Intro 5:03 - Inspiration behind OTS 18:34 - Conclusion

In this episode of Cuntfessionals, I open up about my journey with bipolar disorder — from the day I was diagnosed, to the criteria I “met,” to the years of trial and error with treatments, mindsets, and healing. I share the things that absolutely did not work for me, the breakthroughs that did, and why I now believe I am truly cured. I also dive into my skepticism around the diagnosis itself, the power of belief, and how shifting my perspective completely changed the way I experienced myself and my mental health. ⚠️ Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional.

From being seen as a commodity to facing constant judgment and objectification—these issues aren't about beauty itself, but they're all actually rooted in misogyny.

In this episode, I’m getting real about aging as a woman. Patriarchal society has told women that aging is a curse and something to dread, and that beauty has an expiration date. But that is simply not the truth. In this mini, I share my thoughts on why holding positive perspectives on aging isn’t just healthier, it’s actually more realistic. I reflect on my 20s, how aging has been a blessing, and why beauty doesn’t have to fade as quickly as society makes us think.
