Season 3 Episode 1 : I'm Back, What is the Purpose of this podcast?
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 talk about how much better I am doing. Is that relatable? I worry it will come off as bragging. And then I remember part of why I wanted to share through this podcast is to ultimately spread hope in addition to sharing struggles, skills, tips and tricks that have helped me.
Thank you for continuing to be on this journey of growth with me.

Season 2 Episode 16: After Action Report (AAR) finding my voice post divorce
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 - that is an idea for a whole different podcast episode.
Join me today as I discuss tying up loose ends as I have finalized my divorce. How I found my voice to express my experiences of our marriage to my ex-husband and how I allowed myself the space to not make myself or my experiences small.
Thank you for continuing to be on this journey of growth with me.

Season 2 Episode 15: Self Image, Relationship with Food, Eating Disorders and Releasing the Shame
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 realized that I can't anymore. You will notice a difference in the recording where I pop in over a month later from when I initially pressed play and I chat about where I am at today (time of recording and uploading).
Eating disorders are extremely serious and should be (need to be) addressed and monitored by trained medical professionals. It was so hard for me to make those calls to my psychiatrist, therapist, GP, and friend today. But it needed to be done. I need help. And there is no shame in admitting that. I am including some links below to resources that are available to those of you who might be struggling with an E.D yourself or have a loved one who is.

Season 2 Episode 14: BPD Beginner Friendly Tips
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 subscribers (as well as exclusive/early episode releases).
Tips!
* google isn't always your friend, Reddit is terrifying, a lot of stigmatizing content is out there
* make sure you take care of your physical health and safety first, that means getting help for any kind of eating disorder, self harm activity, making those dreaded doctors and dentist appointments. Physical health is a major part of mental health and vice-versa
* be selective about the content you choose to consume - social media etc
* start small! Management isn't a sprint, it is a marathon. It is tempting to want to throw yourself into it but that will lead to burn out - trust me
* be kind to, and forgive yourself first. learn to love yourself unconditionally, to be able to care for yourself (aka little you, your inner child with needs) to release the need for other people to ground us emotionally
Thanks to each of you for supporting this podcast, I appreciate you all so much.

Season 2 Episode 13: BPD - The Valleys Through Healing
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, outside of yourself.
If you are in a state of crisis or are having thoughts of suicide/self harm please call your local emergency services number. Below is a link to several international suicide and crisis support lines as well.

Season 2 Episode 12: I think my loved one has BPD; what now?
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 conversations
What is most important is to care for yourself first. Educate yourself. Be ready to have conversations when your loved one is ready.

Season 2 Episode 11: BPD/ADHD and Burnout
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 am.
In this episode, I reflect on burnout, and the physiological and psychological impacts it has on me. Recognizing how I got here, I talk about the shame and guilt (yes it was worth mentioning twice in the show notes) and my intentions for myself to snap out of this burnout.

Season 2 Episode 10: Authenticity, Vulnerability and Community - ft. Melanie Goldman - mindovermelanie
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.

Season 2 Episode 9 - 2 years Post Diagnosis
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.

Season 2 Episode 8: Relationship Repair - Difficult, but worth it
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 expectation for an apology to be accepted or for me to receive any kind of forgiveness. To simply recognize that I was, in many cases cruel and vindictive, and to say that to people in my life. I am also working on being on the receiving end of those types of interactions as well.
It is hard, is is very uncomfortable, but this is where I find the most growth as a person.

Season 2 Episode 7: Thoughts vs Feelings (Emotions)
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 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQQGYny7pq0

2.6 Season Two Episode 6 My PBD Thoughts Part 2
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 listening on Spotify) if you liked to type of episode so I can be a bit better at capturing notes when these things happen.

Season Two Episode Five: Love me More
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.
love me more - sam smith https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1hDzq98WIY
The media is a bit of a dumpster fire when it comes to representing BPD and Cluster B personality disorders at the moment. 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
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 developing healthy interpersonal relationships.

MINISODE:#Bellletstalk Day In Canada - January 26 2022 - End the Stigma and Live Daringling
It is January 26, 2022 - #belllettstalk day here in Canada. What is Bell Lets Talk Day? So glad you asked!
"On Bell Let’s Talk Day, Bell will donate more towards mental health initiatives in Canada by contributing 5¢ for every applicable text, call, tweet or TikTok video using #BellLetsTalk, social media video view and use of our Facebook frame or Snapchat lens."
More information on this initiative can be found at https://letstalk.bell.ca/en/
This podcast, this day - this initiative has inspired me to live more daringly and to open up about my diagnosis in my personal life. I owe it to each and every one of you to help educate people who know me about BPD - to work on ending the stigma associated with Borderline Personality Disorder by showing people that it isn't scary, we aren't villians. We are people you know, that you work with, and we are extremely loving and capable individuals.
In short - thank you all for inspiring me to live authentically, boldly and to be even more vulnerable with people in my life. If you could use #bellletstalk just once today, it would mean the world to me.

Episode 15: Difficult Emotions, Invalidating Families, Emotional "Attacks" and Communication
This week's topic comes at a time that can be hardest for those of us with BPD, ADHD - those of us who have "emotional third-degree burns". Our family isn't always our safe space. In this episode, I talk about how I handle invalidating family members - at a high level for now. How you shouldn't compromise your mental health based on someone's expectations and why communication is key.

Episode Eight: HELP! Asking for help is hard.
This week I wanted to talk about asking for and accepting help. How previous experiences of rejection when we needed help can cause us to feel the need to be hyper independent. I also talk about my realization of how asking for and accepting help helps to build and strengthen relationships with people around us, to connect with people on a deeper level.
Keep an eye out for the DBT minisodes that I will be putting out weekly for the next 6 months while I am going through my Group DBT therapy.

Episode Seven: Finding/Filtering Support to Drive your BPD Recovery Journey
This week I talk a bit about support, and filtering support, as we work through our recovery journey. I discuss two questions my therapist gave me to use when I am evaluating advice/opinions from people in my life:
1. Is this person emotionally healthy?
2. Is this person living the kind of life I want to live for myself?
I also want to give a shout-out to my friend and fellow podcaster (and one of the people who challenges me in my road to recovery daily) Dallas over at Critical Podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/0EyLslxK5rwA6dvYc2Krv4?si=KQG-D3zVQXi4ospm5gd7cw&dl_branch=1.
