This is for all the girls who were terribly disappointed on Valentine’s Day - just know you’re worth it and he’s a god damn LOSER.
I just officially ended things on Valentine's Day with the guy I was dating. I THOUGHT I would be worthy of receiving a rose petal at the very least but all I got was a shrug and a whole lot of nothing. SO, sit back, relax & listen to the terrible misfortune of another failed relationship by yours truly. Proud of myself that there are ZERO tears in this episode only giggles and feminine rage. Also, men, boys… whatever the fuck you are.. do better. And grow the fuck up, because women like me are all set. It’s pathetic. I’m in my hating men era, emotional availability is unfounded, and we are fully unhinged.
Love you, mean it.

Happy 2024!
My year didn’t start off the way I had imagined but that doesn’t mean it’s all bad. Let’s discuss why I had a full blown anxiety attack, my forever changing self image, mental capacity, my first ever therapy session, dynamics in my personal relationships, raising sensitive kids, confidence and why I really hate social media.
Love you, mean it.

I'm doing that TikTok trend where we talk about all the guys we've dated this year. Honestly, it's super therapeutic and funny to talk about the highs and lows of dating in your 30s. The people who I thought were so amazing, ended up being the worst. So cheers, to another year. If this year was unkind to you I hope 2024 is a bit brighter and I'll see you next year.
Love you, mean it.

Love ya, mean it.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year - is it though? Some of us are basking in absolute happiness, while others are hanging on by a thread. Let's discuss why babies make me cry, what it’s really like being single during the holidays, being left empty handed in the dating world, waiting games, validity in your bitter bitch era, and fears to share with your therapist.

The restaurant industry is COLD… I recently had to deal with yet another mean girl. But this time? BABY we are taking the HIGH road! I document a real fight that occurred between a mentally unstable, ex-coworker and I. This is a reminder to be nicer to each other - but also TAKE NO SHIT. You can be the star shining bright, don’t ever give someone the power to make you feel inferior to them. I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving & a healthy/safe time! & I hope this was a great giggle for you!

TW: We will be discussing food disorders (bulimia, anorexia & binging). 

Food issues and disorders can be really tricky. Where do they come from? Why do some of us restrict, while others might binge? Is it possible to have issues with both? I take you inside the mind of someone who uses food as a form of control. But where does it stem from? Is there hope for recovery? And when should I be asking for help? 

If you are struggling and feel like you may need help please reach out to a professional for assistance. If you feel alone in this struggle my DMs are always open. I am not a medical professional - this episode was created to shed light on the shame that surrounds people struggling. 

There is hope for you - you just need to ask for help.
Much Love,
c.

It’s Scorpio Season and a NEW season of Manic & Medicated! Yesterday we celebrated my 31st birthday and Season 3 of the podcast! It wouldn’t be a celebration if I wasn’t late to it. Let’s talk about some life updates, crying at Starbucks, the cops calling me, going back to school, why I spoke to my ex boyfriend, MassHealth, future plans & more! Thank you for the support and if you’re new here welcome to the shit show.

I went to the Pitbull, Ricky Martin & Enrique Iglesias concert. Yes, all of them were in attendance - these are my honest thoughts on the performance. What happened after the concert was definitely the highlight of my night. It’s funny, because last episode I spoke about how we need to be nicer to strangers in our real life. Humanity really upsets me because when we try to have a fun night, there are people out there who are nothing but trash. All you can do is control yourself and sometimes you have to defend yourself. But, I’m not immune from shit talking. Enjoy.

Helloooo fellow humans. I know everyone is in a state of sadness and despair so let's have a little chat and get real.

Send me a message in the DMs on Instagram if you ever wanna chat about this episode or past episodes! Love you, mean it. xoxo c.

*episode recorded 3 weeks ago*
Well, long time no talk - I had a mammogram that got a little wild, a stranger got in my car after I said no, debunking rumors that I'm dating my guy friend, falling in love with a security guard, pen!s slideshow in Boston, dating red flags NOBODY talks about, and my cringey first date. Enjoy.

I downloaded Hinge for the first time in years. It's honestly so funny and I’m learning to not take myself so seriously. Am I trying to find my husband or potential partner? No. Am I leaning into self loathing and outside sources to raise up my confidence in a pathetic attempt to feel better? Maybe. But who cares? Let’s chat about depression, feelings of worth, and why the standard for dating needs to be HIGHER.
Love you, mean it.

I’m spilling the tea on the guy I recently dated - lemme tell you, it went to shit, lol. But I definitely learned a lot about myself and what I truly want in a partner. Dating sucks - the revolving door of asking people, ‘What’s your favorite color?’ mixed in with our shared experiences of childhood trauma gets old… but I’m not going to give up on the idea that someone is out there that’s perfect for me.
I really thought I didn’t know how to date, but I’m discovering that I know what I want and I’m not willing to budge. You’re not crazy, delusional, or asking for too much - they’re just not the one. AND THAT’S OK. Dating is honestly a cluster fuck, and dating in your 30s is fucking weird, and trying to figure people out is like pulling teeth. So if you’re frustrated, upset, or feeling down - just know I’m right there with you!
Love you - mean it,

Some girls get a new haircut, a pair of shoes, or get a fresh set of nails done when they are feeling off - I opt for a new experience. So… I decided to go skydiving. This is the full story of how I ended up attached to a stranger at 10,000 ft in the sky. Some people will call me crazy, while others know exactly why I chase after a new challenge. And, no, I did not shit myself.

Putting everyone above yourself often results in feeling burnt out, resentful, and/or questioning what you want. I talk about why I'm no longer a people pleaser - toxic things I would do, gift giving, love languages, and an update on my last visit to the doctors. Ladies, check ya tits, and be your own advocate. If something feels off or weird consult a doctor ALWAYS, and if you still feel weird get a second opinion! The past week has been mentally challenging for me, so it's a shorter episode (I'm in my feelings right now).
Love ya, mean it.
