Unaligned & Unfiltered S2

Welcome back you Beautiful people to another Scoli Sunday ! Happy May! This Scoli Sunday I share a conversation I had in February with Claudia- also known online as the Scoli Coach! :)Claudia shares her journey of discovering Scoliosis, the trauma of diagnosis, the emotional impact, and her holistic approach to treatment and support. Claudia emphasizes the importance of acceptance, strength training, and consistency in self-care for individuals with scoliosis. The conversation covers the journey of building consistency, embracing imperfection, and the healing power of retreats in the context of scoliosis. It also delves into the importance of somatics in connecting with the body and the trauma associated with scoliosis.(Something that I have recently started doing and it has truly helped me!)I hope you enjoy the episode!

What's up you beautiful people?!In this Scoli Sunday episode I talk about my recent X-ray appointment and how it made me feel... not so great lol.I talk about how I wish people were more intentional at times and the importance of patient connection and care in the medical field. It took me for years to make this appointment and I know so many people relate to this- we ignore our needs due to knowing what we'll deal with and this is just one experience- I know there must be so many different stories from so many people so I just wanted to talk about mine and share my thoughts because while I know its not the biggest deal , I still think how you make people feel is really important whether its a simple x-ray or a spinal fusion surgery- every person you meet has a story and making them feel seen and heard can make all the difference at their appointment. I also answer some spinal fusion Q&A'S and share updates about the website and future Twisted Thursday Episodes !

Ali shares her journey on self discovery, self Acceptance and how she is uplifting fellow disabled content creators to invest in themselves and helps them build profitable brands ! Thank you again Ali for coming on the pod! :) -Personal note from your hostess :) - I almost was scared to post this episode b/c of my vulnerability and ADHD symptoms popping up quite a bit but then I thought wasn't this the whole reason for this rebrand and the name of my podcast - to be unfiltered? To show up authentically and embrace every part of me , that includes my Neuro Spicy brain - and by posting this I'm honoring my healing journey and taking up space .

I share tips about what has helped me and resources I have found along the way along with emotional lived in experiences with ADHD & the shame it often brings. My hope is by sharing my experiences , to break the stigma and shame that surrounds ADHD and shed light on that it is SO much more than being hyperactive and that those of us with ADHD aren't just "Lazy" .

What's up you beautiful people- Happy Scoliosis & Pride Month !In today's episode I sit down with Allie from Havenwell Pilates and she opens up and shares her journey from diagnosis, to fusion and the path she took to find a home within herself after spinal fusion.  Allie and I talk about the lack of support around diagnosis and how the community we have both found online through Instagram and other platforms  has helped both of us break out the isolation that this diagnosis can bring. We talk about how for most of us we don’t really understand the gravity of our diagnosis till years later and how we get to understanding what happened. You can expect a lot of laughs, and good conversation.  We talk about what its like to be pioneering what after fusion looks like due to the lack of support after surgery  and how sharing our own journeys has helped us heal by being able to meet other women with fusions from all over! I hope whoever listens to this knows you're a part of this community and I’m so grateful to all of you for being here. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I do – Allie reminds us all that we DESERVE to feel safe and at home in our bodies and that although our journeys are different - the community found in similarities has the power to break down isolation and heal. Check out Allies website below to book a session with her ! :) To ALL my scoliosis and fusion warriors out there - You are seen , you are loved , you are valued ! Helpful links- https://havenwellpilates.com/https://www.thetwistedwanderer.com/https://www.instagram.com/havenwellpilates/https://www.instagram.com/thetwistedwanderer/

What's up you beautiful people ! In this solo episode, I open up about my personal healing journey—navigating life with scoliosis, a spinal fusion, ADHD, and trauma.I share —what it’s like to unlearn toxic beliefs around success and productivity, and how I’m learning to define success on my own terms. For so long, I believed I had to constantly do more just to feel worthy and when I couldn't do more I would sit in guilt and shame but while I'm on this journey to healing I'm starting to learn and ask ...what if rest is the brave thing? What if healing doesn’t mean pushing through—but slowing down? Rewiring our mindset to talk kinder to ourselves is a healing journey on it's own but it's worth it and so are you.This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to prove your worth through hustle or pushing through.It’s time to release the harmful narratives that have done more damage than good—and start honoring our bodies, our stories, and our needs.

Hey fellow wanderers! In this episode I get deep and talk all about pain medication, my first two weeks at home after surgery and discuss a few things I wish I knew seven years ago and the road to recovery after surgery ! ** Explicit ** ** Also I know I touch base about childhood scoliosis/research quick but I just want to explain, it's amazing work I bring it up only because when I was 25 years old I didn't need information about this , I needed information about woman my age when I was researching and could not find anything but child scoliosis stories * Which were inspiring but again I just need something more relatable, which is why I want to share my journey ** but shout out to all those going through the journey of scoliosis, you're beautiful!**

Episode 2 of The Twisted Wanderer dives into the morning of my spinal surgery and what had to be done after for me to be able to be discharged home ! A lot of emotion and some laughs along the way . I hope you enjoy !
