Hey there, my lovely little babies! It's Summer, your local neighborhood baby, bringing you a solo episode after some unforeseen technical difficulties. This week, I was supposed to release "Hey Mom, I'm on TV" with Jenn from My Streaming Bubble, but technology had other plans. Since the audio file got corrupted, I decided to sit down and have an impromptu heart-to-heart with you all.

In today’s episode, I open up about my own battles with anxiety, a nasty sinus infection, and a possible run-in with POTS (yes, it’s been that kind of week). We explore the impact this has on mental health, daily routines, and just trying to feel okay in a world that often feels so far from it.

I also talk about boundaries and how I'm navigating social distancing—not just to avoid physical illness, but to protect my peace. Let’s be honest, some people can be emotional vampires, and I'm learning to reclaim my space and energy.

Dealing with health anxiety and the emotional rollercoaster it brings.
Setting boundaries to protect your mental space and peace.
How isolation isn't always about avoiding others, but about self-preservation.

🔑 Key Points:

Buckle up, my little babies, because this episode is a wild ride! In "Politically Incorrect," I sit down with Adam, John, and Matt—three white males with diverse and passionate political opinions. Recorded in early August, this episode dives deep into the political rabbit hole, featuring heated debates, strong opinions, and plenty of back-and-forth arguments.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains charged political discussions that some listeners might find uncomfortable or disagreeable. If you prefer to steer clear of intense political debates, you might want to skip this one. But if you're curious about how people with vastly different views can passionately argue, challenge each other, and still walk away as friends, this episode is for you.

What to Expect:

A candid exploration of various political topics that are as divisive as they are relevant.
Spirited discussions that showcase the differences in opinion, ranging from the left to the right and everything in between.
Insight into how these discussions, while intense, remain respectful and friendly at their core—an approach that serves as a reminder that it's possible to disagree vehemently while still finding common ground.
A note on the panel's composition: all three guests are white males, offering an interesting perspective for me as the host.

Important Note: The opinions expressed in this episode reflect those of the guests at the time of recording in early August. Some opinions, including my own, may have evolved since then, so keep that in mind as you listen.

Apologies: A quick heads-up—there are a few audio disfluencies throughout the episode. The conversation gets pretty heated at times, and you’ll notice some moments where everyone’s talking over each other. The best was done to clean it up, but hey, that’s the nature of passionate debate!

Call to Action:

Before you dive in, make sure you’re registered to vote! Your voice matters, and every vote counts. Whether you’re deeply entrenched in your political beliefs or just here for the ride, this episode is sure to get you thinking. Tune in, and if you’re feeling brave, drop your thoughts in the comments or over on the r/sdanxious subreddit.

Remember, it’s all about engaging in these conversations, even when they’re tough. That’s how we move forward—together.

As always, have a day, month, week, year free of stress, depression, and anxiety. Love you all! Bye!

In this episode of Stressed Depressed & Anxious, it's been three long years since Nick last joined me as a guest, and we're back together again, bringing you the kind of chaos and laughs you loved in our previous episode, "Love Sid & Nancy." We're still pretty toxic, but hey, that's what makes our conversations so real and unfiltered!

We dive into the highs and lows of owning a house, including the never-ending saga of DIY repairs and the hilarity of "dad moments." We also chat about the drama surrounding the end of Nick's previous podcast, Gag on This Podcast, and our shared experiences with inappropriate messages—spoiler: unsolicited dick pics are a no-go. Nick reveals his plans for a new podcast that explores the realities of parenting and the things that just don't make sense to him.

Our conversation takes a more serious turn as we discuss our strained relationships with our siblings and the challenges of navigating family dynamics. We touch on sexual experiences and how toxic relationships can leave a lasting impact. And of course, we share some of the worst things that have happened to us recently, including a listener story!

In the final segment, we get into our experiences with cheating and being the "other person," discuss our relationship preferences, and bond over our love for video games. This episode is packed with laughter, insights, and a whole lot of real talk. Don't miss it!

Summary

In this episode, I discuss the concept of mommy issues and how they can impact our lives. I define mommy issues as emotional and psychological challenges that stem from our relationship with our mothers. These issues can manifest in various ways, such as trust issues, fear of abandonment, and low self-esteem. I also share my own experiences with my mom, highlighting moments of neglect, criticism, and emotional manipulation.

I talk about how these experiences shaped my relationship with food, my self-image, and my overall emotional well-being. I share instances of my mother buying clothes I didn't like and throwing away the ones I did, as well as calling me derogatory names. I also discuss the oversexualization and body commentary I faced in high school.

I emphasize the importance of therapy and finding support from friends. I encourage decentering parents and understanding that it's okay to have complicated feelings about them. I conclude by discussing the worst thing that happened to me recently and asking for support for my podcast.
