A perfect short story for your commute to work, this episode hear from a sender about the ultimate betrayal. However, when one door closes, 10 more open. When bad things are cleared it makes room for the good, for what's meant to be. So I hope this listener and anyone that can relate to this episode knows it's not really a loss if it puts you where you're meant to be and with the people who are meant to love you.

Sorry for the late upload, talk about RECOVERING from New Year's, I hope your celebration no matter how wild or tame was exactly what you hoped for. Be safe, be kind, and enjoy the episode.

Christmas for most is a whimsical time full of love, light, laughter, and joy, for many this feels like a time straight out of a movie. However, for many the holidays just add extra stress and pain, luckily there are many people that have come together to try and bridge this gap creating programs like Angel Tree or Operation Christmas Child. This episode I share my experience of donating through the website One Simple Wish, a year round giving program that makes it easy and enjoyable to help/uplift youth and young adults impacted by the foster system. There's a story, wish, a gift, that I'm sure will inspire you to give all you have to do is look. Truly the greatest joy I've experienced this holiday season had nothing to do with what i got and everything to do with what I gave.

This episode is particularly special we have 2 stories in one. The first story will make you question was it manipulation or just a phase, was it betrayal or just being unhealed, was it intentional or just bad communication, and does it actually matter? Is disrespect, coldness, silence, ghosting, distance worse or better when it’s purposeful or accidental, when they put thought into it to hurt you or didn’t keep you in mind at all. The second story is clear manipulation, lies, disrespect and the perfect example of a user. Both entertaining and empowering because these senders stood up for themselves and left although it was hard. Two empowering people and their story before the official holiday episodes!

Today's episode is one I'm sure every single girl alive could relate to, a tale as old as time. You put in all the work into a relationship, you hold a man down, you stay through his worst, so another woman can get his best. You'll see yourself in the senders words and you'll get the healing you need through my pep talks to her. This episode is for the girls that mourn the fairytale ending that never could've been, for the girls waiting on their prince since they dumped the toads.

The perfect long episode for your, warm, cozy, stay-in day this December (or whenever you choose to listen). This episode you'll hear the intensive writing of the an depth look at one man’s transformative journey in which he finds his self love, accepts autonomy over his life, and learns how to pave his life into the one wants. Leaving a woman who he loved, and wanted nothing more than to merge his life hers. He thought his heartbreak would never leave but out of the suffering he emerged as a whole new person. Enemies to lovers arc….but with himself.

A melancholy but soulful Thanksgiving episode for you listeners. This episode, I share a letter to my grandfather who has officially been gone one year. I had no idea what this letter would offer me when I began to write it, however, I chose to finish and share it anyways. The healing I've experienced since has been surprising to say the absolute least. My heart goes out to anyone that's mourning the loss of someone they love, I see you, I'm here for you, thank you for being here for me.

Is the sender wrong for leaving this relationship, you tell me? Many of us relate to the distinctive pain of leaving a partner who didn't necessarily do some big bad thing, but nevertheless it wasn't working anymore. How do you explain to your partner, friends, family, and even yourself why you must leave? How do you explain you're not the same person that you were when you wanted this? Find out in episode four!
