Being Beautiful Gives You Brain Damage

from Mess On Me Hosted by Valentina Geovanna

In this episode of Being Beautiful Gives You Brain Damage, I talk about the side of being “beautiful” that nobody really talks about — how isolating it can be, the abuse, projection, and constant gaslighting that can slowly disconnect you from yourself. I reflect on experiencing psychosis, being late diagnosed AuDHD and OCD after years of criticism and feeling like I could never meet expectations, and how so much of my life was spent shrinking myself just to make other people comfortable. This episode is about healing, nervous system regulation, getting rooted in God instead of other people’s opinions, and finally refusing to minimize myself anymore. I’m done apologizing for my presence, done dimming my light, and done carrying shame that was never mine to hold. Get full access to Mess On Me at valentinageova.substack.com/subscribe
