Therapy, hyper-fixations, baked goods, and other random messy chat

Get "Liberate Your Business" by Becky Mollenkamp https://liberateyourbusiness.com/What happens when fanfic, therapy, chronic illness, and croissants collide? This episode of Messy Liberation is a rich blend of real talk and radical self-reflection. Becky and Taina explore chronic illness, returning to therapy, and the nuances of finding a Black therapist. They also deep-dive into the power of rest, hyperfixation (hello fanfic and HTML rabbit holes), and the liberatory framework of awareness, analysis, action, and accountability. With laughter, food porn, and a dash of ADHD hyperfocus, this convo is messy, meaningful, and full of feminist flavor.Discussed in this EpisodeTaina's return to therapy and navigating chronic illnessWhy representation matters in therapeutic relationshipsThe liberatory framework from Barbara J.
