Showing it Off! Self Expression
Self-expression has become a small obsession recently. Authenticity has been a focus for years in self-help resources. Do we express ourselves most authentically? In a healthy way? To allow ourselves to show off who we are without self-judgment. Some heavy crap to laugh about.

How my lady bits made it through it all!
The female anatomy is one strong and resilient body part that deserves respect. You go, girl!
I asked AI to come up with some descriptions for me, but it could not because my vagina is a sensitive subject. I believe that is the point! Whether you relate to women's health issues or not, I am sure you have been around enough women to know that taking care of your body is essential and, honestly, it is your job.

Tell Her She is Beautiful: Self image
Let's dive into the topic of self-confidence and self-image. What removes your mind from feeling good about yourself and throws it into a self-judging turmoil? Am I beautiful or not? Self-doubt is a toxic emotion that serves no purpose. No matter how old you may be, we will try to knock ourselves down every chance. Tip: Always tell her she is beautiful, no matter what! http://www.sexnfries.com www.msambero.com
Don’t owe you a damn thing!
It is important to note that being shamed or guilt-tripped into doing something does not mean that one owes someone else. Emotional blackmail is not a legitimate way to force someone into action or to get them to do something that you feel should be done. We are not indebted to anyone when it comes to emotional currency. The popular saying "You do you, and I will do me" rings true in this case. This episode reflects on the life lessons that have been learned from a current situation. www.sexnfries.com

How old am I? Feeling confused
Age is just a number, they say. But for me, it varies depending on the day. In this episode, I share my random thoughts and experiences of feeling old and confused. However, amidst the craziness, there are still benefits to be found. You can skip ahead if you'd like, but this is a true reflection of aging gracefully as a hot mess. When I was in my twenties, I would never have had the confidence to sit alone at a bar, but in my fifties, it's no big deal. Sometimes it's important to take a break and relax.

The mango happiness project is about mental health and finding a bit of happiness to help you deal. A very personal private thing that reminds you that you will survive it.

Who Do You Think You Are? A Self Image thing
In this episode, I try to bring some light on self image. I may have brought on more questions than anything else. After talking to a few people and doing some research, self image is a broad conversation. A great conversation and we need to talk about it more. What is your ideal identity and what do you want to portray to the world? Internal conversation and what we release to the world sometimes can be collide. We start with the self doubt and question things we should be comfortable with. www.sexnfries.com www.msambero.com
How Mental Are You? It’s Personal
How to talk about mental illness. What it means, and what is the stigma surrounding it?
Welcome to mental illness, the conversation that has to go past a simple sentence. You have to commit to that conversation.
You can’t just say, “Hey, I have a mental illness,” and leave it there. You have some explaining to do. People should not fill in the rest because they will be avoided or come off as crazier than they are.
Although I discuss mental illness on the podcast, I thought I would put some more information on the blog also.
