The Paco Podcast

Let me ask you something. When was the last time you were really angry? Not annoyed. Not frustrated. I mean red-hot, chest-tight, I-could-scream angry.What happened? Did you let it out? Or did you swallow it?Most of us were told that anger is bad. Especially if you're a woman. "Good girls don't yell." "Calm down." "You're being dramatic." And if you're a man, you might have been told that anger is the only emotion you're allowed to show – but even then, only in certain ways.So what do we do? We push it down. We pretend. We smile when we want to scream. And then later, alone, we wonder why we feel so heavy.But here's the truth I need you to hear today: Your anger is not the enemy. It's trying to tell you something. And if you learn to listen, it might just save your life.In this episode of The Paco Podcast (Reclamation Series), I want to change the way you see anger.In this episode, you'll learn:• What we were taught about anger (and why most of it was wrong)• What happens to swallowed anger (depression, anxiety, resentment, physical symptoms)• Why anger is actually a signal (like an alarm system in your house)• The 4 things your anger is trying to tell you• Real examples of anger as messenger (not the enemy)• The difference between feeling anger and acting on it destructively• 6 practical steps to go from swallowing anger to listening to it• What about righteous anger? (injustice, corruption, abuse)• A word for those who were told anger makes them unlovableIf you've ever been told you're "too emotional" or "too much" – this episode is your permission slip to feel differently.🎧 LISTEN TO THE PACO PODCASTPrefer audio?

There's a voice in your head. You think it's yours. But it's not.It says things like:• "You're not good enough"• "You're too old to start over"• "People like you don't get those opportunities"• "You always mess up"You've heard it so many times, you don't even notice it anymore. It's just running in the background, like a song you memorized without choosing to.But here's the truth you need to hear today: That voice is not you. It was given to you. By a parent, a teacher, a friend, a partner, or a failure you couldn't forget. Someone spoke it over you, and you caught it like a cold. And now it lives in your head, pretending to be you.In this episode of The Paco Podcast (Reclamation Series), we are reclaiming the voice in our heads. Not by screaming at it. Not by pretending it doesn't exist. By asking one simple question: Whose voice is this really?Then, slowly, we start writing a new one.In this episode, you'll learn:• Where the voice actually comes from (it wasn't born inside you)• The cost of believing a voice that isn't yours (missed opportunities)• A simple exercise to trace the voice to its source• Why the voice isn't the enemy (it's a misguided guard dog)• 4 powerful tools to change the voice for good• What to do if the voice is very, very loud (from trauma or abuse)If you've ever felt held back by a voice that tells you you're not enough – this episode is for you.🎧 LISTEN TO THE PACO PODCASTPrefer audio?

Let me start with a question. I don't want you to answer out loud. I want you to answer in your head. Honestly.When was the last time you looked in the mirror and felt not good enough? Not "I could fix my hair." I mean that deep sinking feeling. The one that says something is wrong. My body is wrong. If I could just change this one thing...Maybe it's your weight. Maybe it's your skin. Maybe it's a scar. A part of you that someone, somewhere, made you feel ashamed of.That feeling has a name. And it was given to you.In this episode of The Paco Podcast (formerly The Unfiltered Truths), I'm starting the Reclamation Series with the most personal topic of all: reclaiming your body.Not with diet tips. Not with workout plans. Not with "love yourself" quotes that feel impossible to believe.We're going to name where the shame came from. We're going to talk about the things nobody wants to say out loud – including body enhancements, surgeries, the whole messy truth. And we're going to find a way back to ourselves.Because your body is not the problem. It's everything that has been projected onto it.In this episode, you'll learn:• The 4 sources of body shame (family, church, partners, media)• Why the voice in your head isn't yours (and who it belongs to)• The truth about body enhancements (no judgment, but an honest question)• What body shame really costs you (years of your life)• 7 small, practical steps to reclaim your body todayIf you've ever avoided a swimming pool, deleted a photo, or skipped an event because you felt your body wasn't good enough – this episode is for you.Listen until the end.

Your own life.Over 29 episodes, we've navigated the messy, heartbreaking, and beautiful path back to ourselves. We've named the silent struggles. We've challenged the stories that kept us stuck. We've built toolkits for resilience. And we've remembered our wholeness.This is the Homecoming Finale.In this episode, I'm getting vulnerable about:Why I thought I was creating a podcast but actually built a villageHow you've been my teachers as much as I've been your guideThe map of our journey together (the 4 phases of coming home)Why true growth is not linear — it's a spiralThe gift of relapse (and why it's not failure)How to see your growth in the rearview mirrorIntegration over perfection: becoming your own best friendAnnouncing our NEXT series: RECLAMATION (what's coming)A rebrand on the horizonThis isn't goodbye.

Can you feel it? That quiet, persistent ache when you think about the years you feel you wasted?The career path you didn't take. The relationship you stayed in too long. The dream you put on hold. The gap between where you are and where you thought you'd be by now.We carry this guilt for the time it took us to learn, to heal, to finally become the person we are today.But what if the time wasn't wasted?What if it was the exact, messy, non-negotiable curriculum you needed?In this episode of Homecoming, I'm getting personal about the years I spent beating myself up for not figuring it out sooner — while watching peers who seemed to have it all mapped out at 22.I share:The devastating therapy question that changed everything ("Did that version of you know what you know now?")Why regret over lost time is actually misplaced griefThe 3 stories we tell ourselves that keep us stuck in self-blameWhat unforgiveness costs you (it's an anchor draining your present energy)How self-sabotage is connected to past shameThe letter you need to write to your past self (and why it heals)A powerful symbolic ritual to release regretWhy the person you were then was a student, and who you are now is the teacherThis episode is your permission slip to finally close the book on that regret and forgive yourself for the time it took.CHAPTERS0:00 - That quiet ache of "wasted years"1:25 - My story: beating myself up for not figuring it out2:15 - The therapy question that broke me open3:00 - Why regret is misplaced grief3:27 - Story #1: The "should have" narrative4:11 - Story #2: Grief in disguise4:42 - Story #3: Misunderstanding the learning process5:38 - What unforgiveness costs you (the anchor)6:11 - How regret fuels self-sabotage6:46 - The barrier to self-compassion7:11 - How to actually forgive yourself7:33 - Reframe your story (find the lesson)8:20 - Write to your past self9:00 - A symbolic ritual to release regret10:08 - The truth you need to carry forward10:51 - Your permission slip + closing11:35 - Final thoughts + thank you🎧 LISTEN TO THE UNFILTERED TRUTHS PODCASTPrefer audio?

The real reason you stopped dreaming has nothing to do with time, age, or laziness. It's something else entirely.In this episode of Unfiltered Truths, I'm getting personal about the dream I packed away for years — the notebooks, the scribbled ideas on receipts, the moment I told myself I was being "practical." I share:l Why we really abandon our dreams (it's a protection mechanism)l The 3 bricks that build "Dreamer's Block"l What happens when a dream is deferred (it doesn't just vanish)l How to reclaim your imagination without having it all figured outl The one-word-a-day method that finally got me writing again If you have a dream tucked away in a drawer — one that feels too painful, too naive, or too late to pull out again — this conversation is for you. CHAPTERS:0:00 - What happens to a deferred dream1:22 - Welcome + why we go deep here1:32 - My personal story: the dream I packed away3:44 - The real reason we abandon dreams (it's not laziness)4:28 - Brick #1: Past hurt6:33 - Brick #2: "Practical" adulthood (it's a scam)7:35 - Brick #3: Identity lock-in8:45 - The cost of a deferred dream10:41 - How to reclaim your imagination11:57 - Tool #1: The "For-Now" Dream13:14 - Tool #2: Sanctioned dream time14:17 - Tool #3: Your one-person council15:08 - The truth you need to carry today  LISTEN TO THE UNFILTERED TRUTHS PODCAST:Prefer audio?

If your life is finally calm but it feels wrong, unsettling, or even boring... you're not self-sabotaging. Your nervous system is.Your body can become addicted to chaos. When you've been in survival mode—constant deadlines, drama, and crisis—your brain rewires to see that panic as normal. So when peace arrives, it feels like a threat. This is why you might pick fights, procrastinate, or create problems when things are good.In this episode of Unfiltered Truths, I (Sandra) share my own experience of missing chaos and the 4-step framework I used to retrain my nervous system to accept peace—without the anxiety.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:0:00 The Lie of a "Peaceful Life"1:00 Why calm feels wrong2:10 My chaos addiction story3:45 Your brain on survival mode5:30 3 reasons you recreate drama7:15 THE 4-STEP FIX7:45 Step 1: The Naming Ceremony9:20 Step 2: The Healthy Swap10:50 Step 3: Building New Pathways12:30 Step 4: Micro-Moments of Peace14:00 The cost of choosing chaos16:00 What true calm looks like17:30 Your one thing this week🎧 LISTEN TO THE PODCAST:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7D5FaQ9qTvxGk1HcNq2R6dApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unfiltered-truths/id1234567890(Find us on all major platforms - search "Unfiltered Truths")📌 SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@UnfilteredTruths💬 COMMENT BELOW:Type "REWIRE" if you're committing to breaking out of survival mode this week.CONNECT WITH ME:Instagram: @prunskybae#nervoussystem #nervoussystemhealing #nervoussystemregulation #mentalhealth #anxiety #selfsabotage #survivalmode #healing #emotionalhealth #innerpeace #psychology #selfhelp #podcast #mentalhealthpodcast #neuroplasticity #rewireyourbrain #mentalhealthmatters #emotionalregulation #trauma #burnout #calm #mindbody #stress #attachment #abandonmentissues #therapy #mindfulness #wellness #personaldevelopment #mentalhealthawareness

You are not stuck. You are storytelling.That voice telling you it’s too late, you’re not responsible enough, or you don’t have what it takes? It’s not truth. It’s a narrative you built for protection—and it’s become a cage.In this transformative episode, I expose the 3 subconscious pillars that keep you locked in your “story cage” and share the exact moment someone shattered my own illusion of being a “messy creative.” If you’re tired of your world feeling small, opportunities passing you by, and quietly grieving a life unlived—this is your intervention.🔔 SUBSCRIBE NOW to join a community dedicated to living fearlessly:https://youtube.com/@TheUnfilteredTruthsUG📌 CHAPTERS:0:00 The Story That Keeps You Stuck1:02 Welcome to Homecoming1:57 My "Messy Creative" Illusion2:59 The Truth That Shattered Me5:09 Pillar 1: The Identity Lock6:44 Pillar 2: The Evidence Filter8:28 Pillar 3: The Protective Payoff10:41 The Heavy Cost of Your Story12:53 Your World Is Shrinking13:44 Emotional Drain & Spiral15:22 The Downward Spiral16:52 How to Rewrite Your Story17:01 Step 1: Name & Catch It18:56 Step 2: Counter the Evidence20:21 Step 3: Take Identity-Level Action22:14 Your Ultimate Takeaway22:40 You Hold the Pen23:08 How You Can Help This Community24:02 Until Next Time✨ RESOURCES & CONNECTION:🎧 LISTEN TO THE PODCAST:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2LF3COgTMuovC5oMHUjhzKFull Directory: https://pod.link/n):1.

Feeling the pressure to set huge New Year's goals? What if the key to a powerful 2026 isn't forward in a planner, but backward in your past? In this Boxing Day special, we're doing the opposite of returning gifts—we're unwrapping the hidden gifts from your 2025.Join Sandra for a radical, anti-resolution review. We'll go on an "Archaeological Dig" into your past year with a concrete 3-step toolkit to transform your experiences into fuel:🔍 The 3-Step Archaeological Dig:1. Data, Not Drama: Convert personal "failures" into objective facts. (Example: "I'm a fraud" becomes "I pitched 10, 2 said yes, feedback was on pricing.").2. Skill Acquisition: Discover the human skills (resilience, discernment, emotional tolerance) 2025 forced you to develop.3. Unseen Strength: Name your hidden superpowers—the courage, resilience, and self-awareness you proved you have.This isn't about fixing yourself. It's about finding the blueprint for 2026 that's already written in the data, skills, and strengths you earned this past year. If you're ready to enter the new year with clarity and confidence from a place of wisdom, not shame, this is for you.🗓️ Timestamps:00:00- The Backward Secret to a Successful Year01:00- Welcome & The Pressure of the "New Year"02:08- Unwrapping the Gift of the Past Year02:40- Lens 1: Data vs. Drama04:11- Lens 2: The Skills You Acquired06:07- Lens 3: Your Unseen Strengths & Superpowers10:08- How This Fuels 2026 (Without Grand Goals)11:21- Final Encouragement❤️ If this different approach to the new year resonated with you, please share this video with a friend and subscribe for next week, where we build your 2026 "Anti-Resolution" from this blueprint.🔔Subscribe to The Unfiltered Truths Podcast for more conversations on finding wisdom within and coming home to your true self.🎧 LISTEN TO THE PODCAST:Main Link:https://pod.link/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3Iu...Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/2LF3COg...ABOUT THIS CHANNEL:The Unfiltered Truths is where we have real conversations about the heart breaking,beautiful, and messy parts of life.

There's a story I don't often share. It’s not in the highlight reels—it’s from the year my light went out. I found myself on a cold floor, in a room I didn’t recognize, living a life that felt like it belonged to someone else. All I wanted was one thing to help me catch my breath.If you’ve ever felt that way—overwhelmed, lost, or drowning in your own life—this episode is for you. I’m sharing the three practical, non-theoretical tools that I used to navigate my darkest moments: the Permission Slip, the Somatic Compass, and Vulnerable Reaching.
