This Feels Personal

It’s the end of an era, friends. Arc One — Therapy Pending — is officially closing, and honestly? I’m feeling a little emotional about it.In this final episode of this arc, I’m reflecting on what this arc taught me: that healing isn’t linear, peace isn’t passive, and “having it all together” is just a rumor. We talk about the messy middle — the in-between moments where you’re trying to grow, still getting triggered, and learning to sit with the silence instead of running from it.If Therapy Pending was the waiting room, the next arc is what happens when we finally get called into the office. So yeah, this class is dismissed… but healing? Still pending.Stay tuned — because we’re just getting started.Verse of the Week:“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9🎙️ Listen if: you’re somewhere between “I’m healing” and “I might lose it,” but still showing up anyway.Send us Fan Mail✨ Thanks for tuning into This Feels Personal Podcast!✨If this episode dragged you (lovingly), here’s what you can do:💌 Send it to your friend who swears they’re “fine”⭐ Drop a rating & review so the algorithm knows we’re cute and chaotic📲 Catch me on Instagram  | TikTok  | YouTube - @ThisFeels_Personal for more side-eyes and unsolicited adviceRemember: growth is cute… until it isn’t.

Some people find joy in the streets — I find mine in the group chat.In this episode, I’m talking about the quiet rebellion of choosing peace over pressure, intimacy over image, and rest over “outside.” From college days of feeling judged for staying in, to realizing my richest friendships were the ones that never needed a club wristband — we’re getting into why real connection doesn’t require a crowd.With a little side-eye for the FOMO culture, a story about introverted self-discovery, and Bible verses that remind us why smaller circles are often the strongest ones — this one’s for anyone who’s ever felt guilty for just wanting to stay home and recharge.So yeah… catch me in the group chat, not the streets.✨ Verses of The Week:Proverbs 13:20 — “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.”Matthew 18:20 — “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”🎧 Listen if you’ve ever been called “boring” for having boundaries.Send us Fan Mail✨ Thanks for tuning into This Feels Personal Podcast!✨If this episode dragged you (lovingly), here’s what you can do:💌 Send it to your friend who swears they’re “fine”⭐ Drop a rating & review so the algorithm knows we’re cute and chaotic📲 Catch me on Instagram  | TikTok  | YouTube - @ThisFeels_Personal for more side-eyes and unsolicited adviceRemember: growth is cute… until it isn’t.

Life doesn’t come with instructions — and apparently, neither does adulthood. Recorded on a literal road trip, this episode is all about navigating the messiness of relationships, growth, and figuring out who you are without a clear set of directions. Spoiler: there are wrong turns, backroads, and pit stops along the way… but also a lot of laughs.📖 Verse of the Week: Proverbs 3:5-6 – “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”#AdultingUnfiltered #LifeWithoutAMap #WellnessJourney #ThisFeelsPersonalPodcastSend us Fan Mail✨ Thanks for tuning into This Feels Personal Podcast!✨If this episode dragged you (lovingly), here’s what you can do:💌 Send it to your friend who swears they’re “fine”⭐ Drop a rating & review so the algorithm knows we’re cute and chaotic📲 Catch me on Instagram  | TikTok  | YouTube - @ThisFeels_Personal for more side-eyes and unsolicited adviceRemember: growth is cute… until it isn’t.

Your inner child is over it. Tired. Rolling their eyes. And honestly? They might be the one running the show when you’re trying to parent, lead, or just hold it together.In this episode of This Feels Personal, I’m unpacking what it means to parent yourself while parenting others — especially when your kid (hi, Eli) is testing boundaries, throwing tantrums, or spilling their juice for the third time today. Spoiler: sometimes adult-me shows up, and sometimes little-me takes the mic.We’ll talk about the old phrases that sneak back in (“you should know better,” “don’t talk back”) and how they still hit our nervous system years later. Plus, the small but powerful ways we can re-parent ourselves with patience, compassion, and humor while raising tiny humans who are just trying to figure life out.If you’ve ever felt like your inner child is tired of your sh*t — this one’s for you.✨ Verse of the Week: Matthew 18:3 – “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”#InnerChildHealing #ParentingYourself #GentleParenting #SelfGrowth #ThisFeelsPersonalPodcastSend us Fan Mail✨ Thanks for tuning into This Feels Personal Podcast!✨If this episode dragged you (lovingly), here’s what you can do:💌 Send it to your friend who swears they’re “fine”⭐ Drop a rating & review so the algorithm knows we’re cute and chaotic📲 Catch me on Instagram  | TikTok  | YouTube - @ThisFeels_Personal for more side-eyes and unsolicited adviceRemember: growth is cute… until it isn’t.

🚍✨ Welcome to Struggle Bus Season. Parenting is hard. Marriage is hard. Work is hard (even the job I once prayed for). Friendships? Hard. I’m booked, broken, and still out here smiling like I’m fine.In this episode of This Feels Personal, we’re talking about what it’s like to hold it all together while quietly falling apart. Why do we glamorize the grind? Why do we act like being exhausted is a badge of honor?

Moving to Virginia felt like punishment — no family nearby, friends hours away, and just me, my dog Santana, and my spiraling thoughts. Isolation hit hard. But somewhere between those quiet walks and the stillness I couldn’t escape, I learned something: being alone isn’t the end of the story. Sometimes it’s the beginning.In this episode, I unpack how loneliness forced me to slow down, listen differently, and actually see myself. ✨ Verse of the episode: Psalm 46:10 - “Be still, and know that I am God.” Turns out, the stillness I dreaded became the space where I grew the most. It’s giving isolation… but also, it’s giving transformation.Send us Fan Mail✨ Thanks for tuning into This Feels Personal Podcast!✨If this episode dragged you (lovingly), here’s what you can do:💌 Send it to your friend who swears they’re “fine”⭐ Drop a rating & review so the algorithm knows we’re cute and chaotic📲 Catch me on Instagram  | TikTok  | YouTube - @ThisFeels_Personal for more side-eyes and unsolicited adviceRemember: growth is cute… until it isn’t.

From $100 therapy copays to crystals (if you're into that kind of thing), journals, supplements, and calling out of work just to cry in peace — the cost of “getting better” adds up quick.

Ugly Cry Chic: The not-so-cute side of healing.Let’s be honest — growth doesn’t always come with soft music and glowing skin. Sometimes it looks like crying in the car, ghosting everyone you love, and questioning if this “healing journey” is actually just emotional gentrification.In this episode, we’re talking about the version of healing no one posts: — The identity crisis that comes with outgrowing who you used to be — Why healing sometimes feels like grief — And the messy middle between “doing the work” and actually feeling betterBecause while everyone loves a glow-up, nobody talks about the breakdowns that come first.This one’s for the folks in their healing era, wondering if they’re doing it “right” or if they’re just sad with better boundaries.
