My Journey To Madness, Pt 2: Surviving Myself And Finding Beauty In The Wreckage

In part 2 of "My Journey To Madness" we pick up where we left off from part 1. After a long and violent day, I find myself on the way to the emergency room, where I know I will inevitably then be sent to be admitted into a mental health facility. I bring you through the degrading process of being admitted into the facility, the dramatic decisions I made for myself once I got home, and how I chose to find the good within all of the wreckage.
In this episode I explore the ways that we ignore ourselves, and others, when we choose to stay in a relationship that we know we should end, how a poem that once brought me incredible sadness transformed into a permanent reminder of my beauty, and my belief that sometimes we need to break to an unrecognizable degree in order to become who we really are.

My JourneyTo Madness, Pt. 1: The Roadmap To A Mental Breakdown

In honor of premiering the first episode under the new name, The Pretty Uncomfortable Podcast, I chose to get, well.....uncomfortable. 
In this raw and vulnerable episode I share a story that I have never publicly shared before. One that is, quite honestly, filled with a lot of shame and embarrassment, but also a story that is important to tell. 
In this episode I share my journey through my darkest days. It is a difficult story to tell, but it carries so many themes that we can all relate to- toxic relationships, carrying burdens alone, difficult decisions, loss and death, and  finding ourselves lost.
I share with you a story that begins when the covid shutdowns began, where in the midst of a quickly deteriorating relationship I am faced with the unexpected death of my mother, my biggest support system. Under the weight of numerous traumas, combined with a sleep-deprived mind and a malnourished body, my mind hit a breaking point. 
As things began to pile up and I could no longer bear the weight, things came to an explosive head on one fateful day that would change my life, and who I was, forever.

The Stigma of Being Single: What’s Someone Like You Doing Single? Well, Funny You Asked...Let Me Tell You!

"What?! YOU'RE single? I don't believe it!"
"You're too good looking to be single!"
"What is someone like you doing single? That seems impossible!" 
When did being single become such a terrible, shocking thing? And WHY? For many, being single shows strength. Strength that they are making their way through this crazy world, solo. For staying true to themselves and not settling for anything less than what they deserve. And YET. Many people will have a tone that quietly whispers with pity as they question why you are still single.
Referencing back to Episode 7 "Being Single On Valentine's Day" I discuss the difference with wanting a relationship, and needing a relationship, and why it is absolutely ok to be picky. Inspired by someone making one of the above comments to me after I talked about spending my weekends alone, I hopped onto the dating apps, camera recording, to bring you on my journey of swiping, so you could bear witness to my choice to be single. 
Sometimes, the dating world is just....rough. Sometimes our options are....limited. And sometimes, we just do not feel like dating. And again, THAT IS OK! Come join the conversation in this fun and lighthearted look at being the single friend, the joys of dating apps, choosing not to settle, and the friendly reminder to recognize your single friends for all that they are!

The B-Sides: I Got Not Dumped But Dumped From A Thing That Wasn’t A Thing But Was Something

Welcome to another B-Side episode! 
In this B-Side I revisit episode 29, where I discussed how difficult it can be for me to be complimentary to a partner. How I struggle with the feelings that come up when I show kindness to a partner. And how I was proud of myself for working to change that. 
Episode 29 aired on a Monday morning and then, that evening, I got a call that immediately pushed me right back into the headspace of saying fuck vulnerability. Fuck showing affection. This is why I stay guarded.
In this B-Side I share that though we can try so hard, and make so much progress, we can just as quickly fall back into old patterns...and that is OK! I share that I sometimes struggle with practicing what I preach, and how being not dumped but definitely dumped made me want to run back to my old thought processes.

The B-Sides: My Crazy Idea To Re-Brand...What’s In A Name?

Imagine this: you start a podcast. You brainstorm with a friend and end up with the most amazing name for your podcast. You love it. You want to roll around in it, fold it up and put it in your pocket to take it with you everywhere, you want to live inside the name. Ok ok, maybe I got a little excitable there, but you get the point. I love my podcast name. 
Pretty In Kink debuted in January 2023. I sit here today, a mere six months later, and I am planning a re-brand. WHAT the hell am I thinking??? Welcome to this B-Side episode, otherwise known as my informal staff meeting with all my Pretty In Kink weirdos, where I discuss what in the world is going on in my head to bring me to this decision.
Have I boxed myself in with the name Kink? Am I excluding listeners? Will I be limited to who will sponsor me, have me as a guest, or be a guest here? Am I going against absolutely everything I have been talking about by running from a controversial name?
Get your butt in this meeting so you can share your input (spoiler alert...I may not take your advice, but I still want to hear it!) and tell me if I am being crazy. Also, there are donuts and coffee in the break room and I will pay you overtime for attending the meeting.

Giving Compliments To Men: Why I Feel So Vulnerable With The Simple Act Of Giving A Compliment

Hey you! Yes, you. Look at you looking all gooood over there. You are looking GOOD today, has anyone told you that yet today? Hopefully they have...but I probably haven't. Over the years I have struggled with the simple act of complimenting my partners. It has created problems that should have been easy to fix...just give a damn compliment. Yet I couldn't.
I would be overwhelmed with the feeling of embarrassment if I tried to give a compliment. It left me with a feeling that I didn't like and so I started sitting with that, trying to figure out where that feeling was coming from, and WHY.
In this episode while discussing the importance of complimenting our partners, I take you on my journey as I start to realize where my reluctance to give a compliment comes from, how difficult past relationships shaped this habit, and how I have been working to tell you more often just how damn sexy I really think you are. Because dammmmn you're sexy!
Join the conversation as I discuss how a narcissist's behavior helped to shape this poor habit, how a history of being cheated on stopped me from giving affection, and why complimenting partners left me feeling so vulnerable.

Friends With Benefits: The FWB Starter Pack

The classic friends with benefits scenario: have a friend, add some fun, and throw in a few orgasms with zero commitment. What could possibly go wrong?
A broken heart is sitting on the sidelines, just waiting to be called into the game. But I'm here to say that there is also the argument that a FWB arrangement can be exactly what someone needs to GROW their heart. To learn how to practice connection without that scary thing called commitment.
In this episode I discuss why someone may benefit from this type of sexual relationship, what the pros and cons are, and how to enter into a FWB relationship while ensuring that that sweet little heart of yours stays protected. I share my personal stories with how I have handled FWB relationships- why I chose this structure as an intentional way to date, when it went great for me, and when it left me crying into a bowl of ice cream. 
Psssst...you may also want to stick around for the bloopers. I seem to have been in rare form during this recording, so if you need a little smile, bloop bloop!

Herpes & OnlyFans: How An STI & An Adult Content Site Share The Same Stigmas & Why We Should Rethink Our Judgements

You have herpes. You KNOW sooo many other people have it. YET. You are still too nervous to openly discuss it with people in your life because you have heard the jokes, the judgements, the stigmas that make you feel embarrassed of something that is incredibly common.
You create adult content for the popular platform, OnlyFans. You know there are MILLIONS of others that also create on the site, and even more that purchase the content. YET. You keep that side of your life hidden from so many people because you have heard the jokes, felt the judgement from people that you thought loved you.
Stigmas can be a heavy weight to carry. And somehow it feels even heavier when you KNOW you are not alone, yet everyone still keeps themselves hidden in the shadows. 
In this episode I discuss how herpes and the adult content platform OnlyFans share more similarities than you may expect, and why it is important for us to learn to quiet our judgements when they arise so that we can look past them to see that there is so much more than what meets the eye. 
Join me as I discuss why the title of an article angered me and set in motion the comparisons that formed this episode, why I avoid telling people about my own adult content, and how ridiculously common both of these topics actually are
