Season 3 Episode 1 : I'm Back, What is the Purpose of this podcast?
3/15/2023
Am I the most consistently inconsistent BPD podcaster out there? Quite possibly... Thank you all for sticking by me after another months-long hiatus where I have worked through some thoughts and experiences I have been going through. I struggle with knowing what to share. I struggle with trusting myself and my experiences as I enter a new stage of BPD management - I guess you could say have been gaslighting myself a lot lately. I have been struggling with how I will come across here as I...

Season 2 Episode 15: Self Image, Relationship with Food, Eating Disorders and Releasing the Shame
10/20/2022
Hello Everyone,
I started recording this episode over a month ago, and I couldn't finish it. Not because I didn't want to, but because I was carrying so much shame about the subject matter that I couldn't sit down to finish recording. I was carrying the shame that I have this platform but that I had something in my life tied to my BPD management journey that was not "in control". I carried shame that I wasn't perfect, that I was a fraud. I thought I could tackle this alone, and today I...

Season 2 Episode 14: BPD Beginner Friendly Tips
9/4/2022
A subscriber to the show (Ainsley) requested an episode about beginner-friendly advice/tips for someone who has been recently diagnosed. What a brilliant idea for an episode, I am kind of disappointed in myself for not thinking of this first!!
I released this for early subscriber access back in July and wanted to share it out now for the rest of you. Sorry for the muffled audio - I am sorting out how to have better audio on video uploads, something that I plan to make exclusive for...

Season 2 Episode 13: BPD - The Valleys Through Healing
9/1/2022
The topic for the episode was requested by a listener; I don't know if I actually hit the nail on the head here. I ramble a bit, but I hope that there is something helpful for at least one listener. Please know you are not alone, that while the deepest lows might feel crushing, the emotional roller coaster might have you feeling exhausted - like it is too much - that I hope you can pause and find something to ground you. To recentre you and help you feel connected to something, someone,...

Season 2 Episode 12: I think my loved one has BPD; what now?
8/9/2022
This episode is for you, the people who love us. The people who see us, the pain we experience, the maladaptive ways that we behave and who want to help us. But who do not know how.
I want you to know that there is no easy way to have these conversations. We are likely going to act out, be angry, reject what you are trying to tell us - because we are experiencing what you are telling us as rejection and not care. But thank you regardless. Thank you for being willing to have those hard...

Season 2 Episode 11: BPD/ADHD and Burnout
8/4/2022
I am burnt out! I can say that without shame - well mostly. I had been beating myself up about it, feeling guilty - like I shouldn't be feeling this way as an adult. That this meant I was less of an adult somehow (ridiculous I know). But today while I was in a state of dissociation/derealization I received an email from a listener and it reminded me of what I tell each of you who tune in at the end of every episode - a reminder to give myself some grace, I am doing better than I think I...
Season 2 Episode 10: Authenticity, Vulnerability and Community - ft. Melanie Goldman - mindovermelanie
7/17/2022
I am truly so excited to bring this episode to you all. I met Melanie a few months ago over social media. We have developed a friendship based off of common approaches to life, managing our BPD and life goals. Melanie is one of my favourite content creators and I truly value her vulnerability when it comes to sharing her story, beliefs and the path she chooses to walk in life.
I am linking the resources Mel mentioned below in the show notes as well as in the link tree. You can follow...

Season 2 Episode 9 - 2 years Post Diagnosis
7/15/2022
I realized that I received my BPD and ADHD diagnosis right around 2 years ago now. That time FLEW by. I wanted to reflect on what that diagnosis meant for me, how I feel about my journey so far.
I am content, I am stable, and I really love the person I am. I am actually insanely grateful for my diagnosis, it helped me get to where I am at today.
Thanks to each of you for supporting this podcast, I appreciate you all so much.

Season 2 Episode 8: Relationship Repair - Difficult, but worth it
7/7/2022
One of the truly more humbling parts of my BPD management journey has been reflecting on my relationships with people, my interactions, how I have treated people in my life who I felt "wronged" me. Where I was not respectful, where I did not recognize someone as an individual human with their own experiences, lives and feelings. Where I was only focused on how a situation was impacting me. I have been working on relationship repair, apologizing to people I was awful to, without the...
Season 2 Episode 7: Thoughts vs Feelings (Emotions)
7/5/2022
As I have been working through the "harder" part of my BPD management journey I have been working through the difference between what I am feeling/emotions I am experiencing and what I am thinking, the thoughts I have. How I work through the relationship between these things, how they impact my behavior and how I communicate my experiences and need to people in my life.
This video does a pretty good job summarizing what I was trying to say -...
2.6 Season Two Episode 6 My PBD Thoughts Part 2
6/14/2022
Sometimes I worry that I am not accurately representing how I manage my BPD day to day through the content that I typically put out. So I decided to try something different! This episode is a little insight into some of the thought patterns or behaviours I continue to manage day to day, how I reacted, skills I may have used, and what I feel about it now.
For me - managing is about growth, development, and change, not perfection. Let me know through the community section below (if you are...

Season Two Episode Five: Love me More
6/8/2022
After yet another break I am back - it makes me laugh at this point. But hey, part of my self love journey has been learning to recognize when I am being over extended. To look at what I do and do not have space for at the time, to look at when I need a little rest, reboot and refresh. To be the parent to myself that I need.

BPD Awareness Month: Reclaiming and Sharing Our Stories
4/29/2022
The media is a bit of a dumpster fire when it comes to representing BPD and Cluster B personality disorders at the moment. Which is terrible because May is BPD Awareness Month. In an effort to turn the minds (like my DBT reference there) about what this diagnosis is, can be and humanize it I wanted to create an initiative where others can share their stories through this Podcast. Lets connect, spread hope and humanize borderline personality disorder.

Season 2 Episode 3: Interpersonal Relationships - Challenges, Realizations and How to Change Our Interactions
4/18/2022
Interpersonal relationships are for just about everyone, but for those of us with BPD they carry increased layers of complexity. They can cause a lot of shame, anger, and, despair. There are things that we can do though to help us recognize when we are struggling, to help us manage our interactions and expectations (known and unknown) that we are putting on people in our lives. Learning to see people as WHO THEY ARE and to remember why we value them is critical when it comes to managing and...
