Blossoming Vannah 🌻🦋🪽

I have a 1 year old today. 🥺This is the end of this season. I’m so proud of myself & thankful to my loyal listeners! THANK YOU 💘

Part two of when I broke my ankle. This was me talking through learning that I have a phobia I have multiple.q learning that I have a phobia of stairs is wild but checks out.

I promise we will be back to regular scheduled programming next week. 😮‍💨 Thank you for sticking around! 🥹🫶🏽We will be wrapping up this season in the next couple of episodes & moving onto a different body part.

This was supposed to be posted yesterday 🥴 but I waited all day & then was too tired by night time 😅 … A shorter episode that I changed the topic of like 7 times lmao. Updated my schedule & hopefully will be getting a back on track! 🤞🏽

I have been asked several variations of the same question & that’s “how did I find the motivation to get out of my depressive episode?” So I finally answered. Happy New Year 🎆🩷 I hope it’s good to you! 🥰

Reflections of the year until I started do get triggered. 🤪From the bottom of my heart thank you for going on this journey with me. I wish I could individually hug every last one of you. Thank you for supporting me or if you’re going through your own healing journey… I’m proud of you.I’m exited for the new year & to fill my planner. Happy holidays! 🎁Xoxoxo 😘

Welcome back to another epi. 🤪This one is messy. 😅 I want to start to touch on other topics other than my health issues that I’m healing from. Bc that’s what healing does, it brings up other issues you have yet to heal. I didn’t realize my family wound was so huge or maybe I didn’t realize it was still open? 🥴 I let myself just… talk. I didn’t do much editing bc my real & raw emotions came from just letting myself— be.Recording made me very angry. I don’t like to be angry, esp not over this. There will be more to come. Enjoy! 😵‍💫https://linktr.ee/333vannah

Welcome back to Episode 6 of Season 2. 😄 In the last episode I talked about the side effects of the strabismus/ double vision. But this was probably one of the worst effects from that. 🥲 When I broke my left ankle. This story like most of the stories I post about will have a part 2. There’s always a twist with me. 🥴

Welcome back to episode 5 of season 2. ☺️Last week was a mess but thank you for baring with me. 💕 Today’s episode is just a deeper explanation of last week’s episode where I include symptoms & explain further! A reminder that my episodes are now gonna be biweekly. 🥰 So I will see y’all in November! Have the best week ahead. 🫂🫶🏽

Welcome back! It has been a some time. 🫣This is going to be the first part of year 5-6 ish. If I’m being completely honest the goal was to announce that my episodes are now going to be on a bi-weekly basis. However, I can admit/ recognize that my editing & recording times are not always the best. 😅 My intention was to speak on the topic of suicide prevention month, since I didn’t get a chance to in September. — Not only did I have a hard time speaking about the topic but going back & editing was equally, if not harder. I did not (& have not since I started 🫣) done a good job with time management. After next weeks episode the episodes will become bi-weekly. Thank you for your continued support. I appreciate you being here. 🤍

It’s been a heck of a month. Thank you for bearing with me! Happy Wednesday 💕Idk at what point in your chronic pain journey you learn (or you’re taught) to swallow your pain. Some learn simply bc they’ve never felt heard or validated. Some learn bc they don’t want to make others uncomfortable. No matter what the reason is, talking about it is cathartic. September is Chronic Pain Awareness Month I encourage everyone to talk about it! 🤍 Honestly this episode like every episode gave me anxiety. 🥹 But by the end of it I felt lighter.

Have you ever been called sensitive? Have you ever been made to feel like you were being too sensitive? Do you feel like sensitivity is your superpower? Tips/tricks & how it all applies or doesn’t to myself. Ya know, I’ve been struggling real bad with this concept. Which is odd bc I know for a fact that I’ve mastered it. Your sensitive isn’t going to make sense to everyone. & that’s okay!

At times, telling your truth is very difficult. This was one of those moments. I got emotional, again, I’m gonna give the warning every. time. But I’m a sensitive person with a lot of emotions. Idk what to tell y’all. This part of the healing process is ugly as hell. Who knew I’d be crying even more than usual? 😭Once I actually identified who my Gpa was. I could think back to every time before that, that I saw him. He was always there. Even when I was a kid. 🥹A tribute to my guardian angel. 🥺🤍 Love you Grandpa Lucky. 🍀🫶🏽✨https://linktr.ee/333vannah%20

Welcome back to episode 13, the final episode of season 1. 🥹 As I listen back to myself, I can see my progress throughout the season & that’s all I ever want is to get better in every way. I’m sooo grateful to YOU, My listeners. Thank you for making it to the last episode. While I don’t think this was the most ideal time to start this podcast. Very grateful I did. 🫂 Enjoy my Q&A. Will be spreading out & answering the rest that I didn’t include in this episode on insta. (@blossomingvannah) See ya next season. 😜✌🏽 https://linktr.ee/333vannah

Welcome back to episode 12. *Title is just a play on words.* We are almost at the end of season 1. 🥲 Wrapping up the bald head series. 😮‍💨 Excited for what’s to come. My most asked question is “what’s it like dating while chronically ill/ disabled? I realized this answer had to be broken up. Here’s part 1. & as always, Thank you for being here beloved. ❤️ Ask me anything appropriate down below. 👇🏽😊https://ngl.link/blossomingvannah

Happy Wednesday 🖤⚠️Trigger Warning⚠️I did shed some tears towards the end. Although it’s just audio there is a change in my voice. When I realized my post craniotomy pain wasn’t phantom pain. Enjoy the rest of your week 🤓

Happy Wednesday 🫶🏽 Shorter episode this week bc I’ve been struggling with pain & not feeling my best overall. This weeks all about triggers. My triggers are both internal & external. The internal ones are thoughts, memories &/or flashbacks & FEELINGS. The external ones are the physical pain & feeling as well. Have a wonderful rest of your week. 🤗https://linktr.ee/333vannah

Happy Wednesday! Welcome back to Episode 9. Wrapping up the bald head series 🤭 So we’re covering year 3-4 1/2. Eventually I will pick back up on this specific topic. Wrapping up the topic of brain/ head surgeries & all it entails. Thank you so much for tuning in. 🤗💛 My linktree is https://linktr.ee/333vannah in case you’d like to support, engage or interact on another platform… I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Welcome back to episode 8! 💖 I used last weeks episode to segue into this one. Breaking down what it was like getting my head shaved. My relationship with my hair was pretty toxic before that though.I’m gonna be honest. This episode is a mess. If you can recall in the previous episode I said this was going to be my most emotional episode. I may have repeated some things more than once/ talked in circles. 🥴 Yet I still hit ‘publish’ 3 reasons why I did that: ​ This came from an authentic place. I didn’t mean to repeat myself but shit, maybe that girl (my younger self) needed to say it twice.​ I am healing the perfectionist in me as well. ​ The fact that I was anxious about posting it meant I absolutely had to. My younger self always did things that made her afraid. I even noticed myself bringing up moments in my life I thought I had healed from, forgotten, etc… That’s how trauma works though. 😅🤷🏽‍♀️https://linktr.ee/333vannah

Welcome back to episode 7! 🎰 My co-signer aka my Mom is doing a lot the talking this episode. We are going over my 2nd year of being diagnosed. This was the year I developed hydrocephalus & started getting surgeries. It’s the year I became bionic. 😉🦾As always thank you so much for being here. 💕🫂 My linktree is https://linktr.ee/333vannah

Welcome back to episode 6. 🥀 Thank you so much for tuning in. 🤗 Obviously this episode could’ve & should’ve been so much longer. The anxiety this gave me thooo? 🥲🥹😭 I left out a very important part of the story 😩 & that was Dr. Linda having an even worse response to my Mom 😖 She was literally in awe of her LOL. So further proof that it was a her problem. I hope she heals.Digging up trauma often means reliving it. I guess this week I wasn’t ready to face myself. I can admit that. We will try again next week. Have a wonderful Wednesday! ❤️🫂https://linktr.ee/333vannah

Welcome back to episode five thank you so much for being here. I know I skipped a couple weeks & I’m going to attempt to not do that again. I appreciate you still tuning in, in advance. 🥹🤧💕 This episode is going to cover year one of being diagnosed. Not much happened; but it was still a life changing year. When I said “unfortunately I’m still here” it was just me using dark humor. Pls don’t DM me. 😅🤣If you’d like to interact or support on any other platform my linktree is https://linktr.ee/333vannah 💟

Welcome back to episode 3. 🥰 While I obviously would never want to go through all I did. I never stopped thanking God for my family & friends. Heavy on my family. I used to tell my Mom that God gave me the family & support system I have so I could make it through all that. I know I’m a strong woman. But I’m strong bc of them. My immediate family means the world to me... I took a different approach with this episode. When my Mom listened to my first 2 episodes she told me I sounded nervous. 🥲 She is right lowkey & that’s partially bc I made outlines to follow so I’m hitting every point. (I’m forgetful) Since I’m giving people their flowers I wanted to speak from the heart. 🥹 … I want for my podcast to feel like you’re sitting down at lunch with me. So no script this time. 😅 & *less editing*. 🫣 Thank you so much for tuning in.

Welcome back to episode 2! 🥳 Thank for tuning in. 💛 In this episode I wanna go into detail about my rare illness & what it was like getting diagnosed. My illness has 2 names technically 3. Which I could never wrap my head around. I kept the episode short intentionally. I wanted to open the floor for questions because I always get them. You can DM me on insta @blossomingvannah or email me @[email protected] ⚠️ A warning that the outro is louder. 😔 Took me a some episodes to figure that out. Pls be nice. 🥹 & thank you for listening all the way until the end. 😚⚠️

Welcome to episode 1! 🥳 I’m so excited to officially start this journey. 🥳😭 Pull up a chair friend. I drove myself crazy editing & then decided to just publish because I had the “they’re gonna get what they get” attitude for a few seconds. The perfectionist in me immediately regretted that though. 🥲😂 Not sure why talking in front of a mic feels more intimidating. 🤔 I send vn’s to friends all day everyday. Practicing what I preach & giving myself GRACE! 🥹⚠️ A warning that the outro is louder. 😔 Took me a some episodes to figure that out. Pls be nice. 🥹 & thank you for listening all the way until the end. 😚⚠️https://linktr.ee/333vannah
