Emotional Witness Protection

from Barely Edited · host Bianca Vena / Lonely Girl Productions Inc.

This week, I’m talking about the soft breakdown that comes after you’ve been strong for too long.I open up about the upcoming anniversary of my ex Shane’s passing, how his joy for life still echoes in mine, and how grief — even years later — can hit you when you least expect it. Especially when you’re finally starting to live again.We also get into what happens when you go from saying yes to everything… to saying no to literally everything. The avoidant phase. The cold era. The “cut everyone off and call it healing” moment.I’ve been in emotional witness protection, and maybe you have too.But I’m trying to find the middle. To stay soft. To let people in — without letting them take.This one’s for anyone who’s been hiding in their peace and finally wants to come home to themselves.New episodes drop somewhere between Sunday night and Monday morning — because structure is for boring people.This is Barely Edited — where nothing’s off-limits, and life’s messiest moments turn into stories worth sharing.

We examine the history of the people in front of and behind the camera, try to make sense of how and why the movie was made, then discuss each one in way too much detail to see if they are any good.Pick Six Movies is hosted by Bo Ransdell and Chad Cooper, two life-long friends with a shared passion for discussing things they barely understand in an attempt to make each other laugh. Explicit Choice Words with Samantha Bee Lemonada Media We make a lot of choices, every single day. Some explode, some implode, most we barely remember. Each week on Choice Words, Samantha Bee sits down with people she admires to examine the biggest choices they’ve made in their lives and the ripple effects those decisions have had. What’s a story a journalist took a chance on that changed history? A vote that a politician never should have cast? A song lyric a musician came up with in the shower that made them instantly famous? Sam’s made a lot of choices, too. She may have to interview herself about starting this podcast.
