A SENDER REACHED BACK OUT!! If you had thoughts or judgements about last episode well our sender is here to clear some things up, will this make you love him or hate him.....and does it really matter. The first follow up letter EVER and it's as we are closing out the first season of Dear Ex: One Last Thing, I hope you enjoy I can't wait to read your thoughts.

The most shocking and heartbreaking story yet. An intriguing listen for men and women of all ages, an important lesson that your life is completely yours, your choices are only yours to deal with and learn from and ultimately live with, a story of love, loss, regret, and coming to terms/happiness with the path you've chosen. A look also at the concept of the women that got away and a debate on if she really exists in the way that we think of her. My favorite episode yet. if you're interested in submitting a letter of your own visit: https://linktr.ee/LoveMiaRosethank you!

The story of a lost friendship over a secret that festered. In this episode we also discuss how we all are biased therefore unreliable narrators, how different the story might sound from someone else, and who decides which one is the accurate recount? In this case it's you, the listeners. If you'd like to submit a letter/story of your own check out @dearexonelastthing on instagram

A perfect short story for your commute to work, this episode hear from a sender about the ultimate betrayal. However, when one door closes, 10 more open. When bad things are cleared it makes room for the good, for what's meant to be. So I hope this listener and anyone that can relate to this episode knows it's not really a loss if it puts you where you're meant to be and with the people who are meant to love you.

Sorry for the late upload, talk about RECOVERING from New Year's, I hope your celebration no matter how wild or tame was exactly what you hoped for. Be safe, be kind, and enjoy the episode.

Christmas for most is a whimsical time full of love, light, laughter, and joy, for many this feels like a time straight out of a movie. However, for many the holidays just add extra stress and pain, luckily there are many people that have come together to try and bridge this gap creating programs like Angel Tree or Operation Christmas Child. This episode I share my experience of donating through the website One Simple Wish, a year round giving program that makes it easy and enjoyable to help/uplift youth and young adults impacted by the foster system. There's a story, wish, a gift, that I'm sure will inspire you to give all you have to do is look. Truly the greatest joy I've experienced this holiday season had nothing to do with what i got and everything to do with what I gave.

This episode is particularly special we have 2 stories in one. The first story will make you question was it manipulation or just a phase, was it betrayal or just being unhealed, was it intentional or just bad communication, and does it actually matter? Is disrespect, coldness, silence, ghosting, distance worse or better when it’s purposeful or accidental, when they put thought into it to hurt you or didn’t keep you in mind at all. The second story is clear manipulation, lies, disrespect and the perfect example of a user. Both entertaining and empowering because these senders stood up for themselves and left although it was hard. Two empowering people and their story before the official holiday episodes! If you'd like to submit a letter/story of your own check out @dearexonelastthing on instagrammusic by: "In Your Arms" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License⁠⁠⁠http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/⁠⁠⁠

Today's episode is one I'm sure every single girl alive could relate to, a tale as old as time. You put in all the work into a relationship, you hold a man down, you stay through his worst, so another woman can get his best. You'll see yourself in the senders words and you'll get the healing you need through my pep talks to her. This episode is for the girls that mourn the fairytale ending that never could've been, for the girls waiting on their prince since they dumped the toads.

The perfect long episode for your, warm, cozy, stay-in day this December (or whenever you choose to listen). This episode you'll hear the intensive writing of the an depth look at one man’s transformative journey in which he finds his self love, accepts autonomy over his life, and learns how to pave his life into the one wants. Leaving a woman who he loved, and wanted nothing more than to merge his life hers. He thought his heartbreak would never leave but out of the suffering he emerged as a whole new person. Enemies to lovers arc….but with himself.

A melancholy but soulful Thanksgiving episode for you listeners. This episode, I share a letter to my grandfather who has officially been gone one year. I had no idea what this letter would offer me when I began to write it, however, I chose to finish and share it anyways. The healing I've experienced since has been surprising to say the absolute least. My heart goes out to anyone that's mourning the loss of someone they love, I see you, I'm here for you, thank you for being here for me.

Is the sender wrong for leaving this relationship, you tell me? Many of us relate to the distinctive pain of leaving a partner who didn't necessarily do some big bad thing, but nevertheless it wasn't working anymore. How do you explain to your partner, friends, family, and even yourself why you must leave? How do you explain you're not the same person that you were when you wanted this? Find out in episode four!

Listen to the story of a hypocritical "faith forward" boyfriend. This story will leave you trying to calm yourself every time you realize this is in fact a real story and not rage bait.

In this episode I do a deep dive into why posting on social media is embarrassing and why it can be so hard to stay consistent as a beginner, this leads me to a bigger question--is content creation ethical? If so, how do we know when we dip into the unethical side, and why does it seem so hard to do content in a wholesome, helpful way? Join me for this special and personal episode 15!

It's okay to take a break, it's okay to slow down, it's okay to take a couple steps back, it's okay to take that nap, to eat that cookie, to push back that deadline, if these things will protect your overall health. I'm always being reminded that growth is not linear, and that the rest is just as important as the work. I read a quote today that said something along the lines of you are not just going in a circle it's a spiral and with every lap you are getting closer to yourself, and I feel like that is what i'm doing, over and over, learning and relearning the rules of life I've known since I was a child, and this was certainly one of them. Good to be back Lovies, enjoy the episode!

Sometimes it's hard to feel like you will ever be more than just a collection of all your mistakes and lows. Recently it's felt like I'm constantly outrunning my genetics, even waiting for the other shoe to drop, feeling like I'm waiting for my friends and partner to realize who I really am and leave me. This anxiety of feeling like I'll never be more than the valleys of my mental health finally caught up with me and I fell into mental breakdown. During which I spewed hurtful things about myself and my partner. In this episode I share insights from a new rock bottom and truly embrace the feeling that the only place left to go is up. Tune in for an utterly real look at my life and with it I hope you can find solace in knowing you aren't alone and all tough things are temporary.

Welcome back Lovebugs, join me for lucky episode number 11! As someone who has struggled with friendship for all my life and just now seem to finally be getting the hang of it, this episode was really special to make. In this episode I explore some painful lessons of the past that I'm now happy to share to hopefully save you guys from making some of the same mistakes I did. I hope you guys enjoy!

While planning, writing, and filming this episode, I felt the anxiety of the inevitable changes that are to come. But through the creative process I saw the number 999 several times. This is a number I've rarely seen before and I finally decided to look it up. "999: signifies completion and new beginnings. It urges you to trust the process of life, brings closure to what's no longer needed for you, and encourages reflection and growth. Embrace change, practice non-resistance, and remain open hearted". I was shocked to read the accuracy of the message, but at the same time not surprised at all. I feel like the signs are always there we just have to slow down enough to see them, and take time to quiet the mind enough to hear them. I'm still human and therefore still terrified at the unknown, my stomach is still doing loops at the thought of the change and shake up my life is about to experience, and it's hard realizing there's nothing you can really do to prepare. However, I know it'll be okay, especially with you guys right here with me. So please, tune in for my favorite episode I've made, I hope you enjoy.

For this week's pot of gold, a special Saint Patty's episode. I first have to give homage to my grandfather, as today would have been his birthday and I do feel he helped empowered me in so many ways to start this podcast and share these messages. How many times have I had a stressful night at work and then went out and got drinks with friends, so I didn't take off my make up when I went home, then woke up late feeling sick, didn't get what I wanted to done, and then felt regretful? The answer...enough times to notice a pattern. But, in the same way how many times have I woke up made myself a good breakfast, listened to my favorite music getting ready, gave money to someone on the street, then been blessed by something from the universe like a free drink from my favorite cafe, or running into a friend? The answer...more than enough times to be a coincidence. To make my point (and the long story even longer) good begets good, bad begets bad, listen to this episode and learn what we an do about it and how to lead a more fulfilling and joyful life.

Join me for this rather reflective episode. Life is not always good and often when it's bad we feel stuck, in a hole, unable to see how things will turn around and get better. Slowly but surely we climb out and rise above and before we even realize it we are in the shining sun again. Sometimes we fall back down, but just keep holding on it'll get better, it's always darkest before dawn. This birthday was an emotional time in life that forced me to pause and see how far I've come and how much I've changed. I hope this episode can offer you some encouragement and peace, as we go through the years. I can't wait to spend many more birthdays with you my Lovebug family.

There are so many messages out there that tell us who we are, who we should be, what we need, why we should change, but I believe inside all of us there is a quiet knowing and our own compass, so this episode is here to tell you to listen to that. This episode isn't going to tell you to do anything other than believe in yourself, be kind to yourself, and do what's right for you. After the last two heavy episodes I figured it was time for some fun and encouragement, I definitely let my personality shine through a bit more on this one, so I hope this feels more like two friends catching up. Enjoy Lovebugs, and be well.

In this episode we'll take a look at some simple but life-altering gratitude practices derived from the research of Shawn Anchor and Michelle Gielan. I'll share how positivity tools like saying three things you're grateful for each day changed the trajectory of my life, and I would say even saved it. Listen in and change your life right now with daily practices and tools that will only take 5 minutes AT MOST! Happy first week of the New Year Lovebugs, you're doing amazing, I'm so proud of you.

Welcome back family, this is probably my most open, honest, and opinionated episode yet. Join me in this conversation on the anxieties social media brings along with all its benefits and how to navigate it all. This episode reminds you to stay true to who you are and the right people will find you. New trends replace old ones quicker than ever so the best thing you can do is love yourself right where you are, because you're more than enough.

We’ve made it to episode two! I want to invite you to get really vulnerable with me as we talk about our emotions and why we should treat ourselves more kindly. Our emotions are a message to the brain like any other sense, like sight or hearing. We wouldn’t get mad at our nose for smelling something bad, we wouldn’t try to tell our nose it was wrong or overreacting; so why do we do the same to our heart and head when we are feeling? My grandpa passed away Thanksgiving 2024 and he taught me an incredible amount about authenticity and loving loudly and I would love to share more of his messages with you so tune in to learn more.

Hi Lovebugs I’m so excited to meet you and start this journey with you. I finally stopped saying "one day" and said "cheers to day one" and you absolutely should to. If you were looking for a sign this is it. This episode is a sign to start making your dreams a reality. Here’s you’re reminder that you’re good enough, and someone is proud of you, just keep going one day at a time.
