On This Side of the Rainbow

Send us Fan MailWe talk a lot about letting go—like it’s supposed to feel like peace.Like closure.Like relief.Like something that gently sets you free.But no one really talks about what happens after you stop trying.After you stop reaching out…stop making the plans…stop being the one holding everything together.And nothing happens.No message.No check-in.No moment where they realize you’ve gone quiet.Just silence.In this episode, we explore the kind of silence that doesn’t just hurt—it answers you. The kind that slowly reveals the truth about one-sided connections, unbalanced effort, and what it really means to let go of something you were holding on to alone.This isn’t about dramatic endings or closure conversations.It’s about the quiet realization that some connections don’t end with a fight…they end when one person finally stops carrying both sides.If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if you stopped trying—this episode is for you.Support the showRead More Here at www.rubyohsosweet.com

Send us Fan MailThere’s a quiet kind of hurt that comes from being told you’re “too much.”Not all at once—but over time.In small comments. In subtle reactions. In the way people pull back when you show up fully.This episode is a gentle reflection on what it means to carry depth in a world that doesn’t always know how to hold it.It’s about unlearning the idea that you need to be less…and remembering that your sensitivity, your intensity, your honesty—are not flaws.They’re who you are.Support the showRead More Here at www.rubyohsosweet.com 

Send us Fan MailI shared something deeply personal… and someone told me it made them sick.In this episode, we’re talking about what happens when real, raw grief collides with a world that doesn’t always respond with compassion. About the growing disconnect between vulnerability and empathy—and why honesty makes people uncomfortable in ways they don’t always know how to handle.This isn’t just about one comment.It’s about the culture we’re living in.Where discomfort is mistaken for harm… and pain is too often dismissed instead of understood.If you’ve ever felt like your grief was “too much,”if you’ve ever questioned whether you should stay quiet just to make others comfortable—this episode is for you.Because your discomfort… is not someone else’s pain.💔 Listen in, and if it resonates, share it with someone who needs to feel a little less alone.Read More Here at www.rubyohsosweet.com 

Send us Fan MailIn this deeply personal and emotional episode, I share the story of the day I brought my cat into the emergency vet—believing I was doing the right thing—and left carrying something I wasn’t prepared for: hope.Not the comforting kind.The kind that lingers. The kind that complicates everything.When you hear the words “there’s a chance,” you expect relief. But what happens when that hope comes with impossible decisions? When it leaves you questioning what’s right, what’s fair, and what it really means to let go?This episode explores the emotional reality of pet loss, anticipatory grief, and the weight of making end-of-life decisions for an animal you love like family. It’s about guilt, love, uncertainty, and the moments that stay with you long after they’ve passed.If you’ve ever had to choose between holding on and letting go, if you’ve ever sat in a vet’s office hoping for clarity and left with more questions—this story will resonate in a way that’s hard to put into words.This isn’t just about loss.It’s about the kind of hope that hurts.Music: “Cylinder Five” by Chris ZabriskieLicensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0Source: https://chriszabriskie.com/cylinders/Read More Here at www.rubyohsosweet.com

Held. Understood.You don’t need to be stronger.You need to be supported.Read More Here at www.rubyohsosweet.com
