6x18: Overthinking Ruins EVERYTHING!
Breaking Down the Breakdown
07/16/24 • 34 min
Let me guess, you destroyed a beautiful relationship because of overthinking?
You were about to date someone until you started overthinking?
I'm not proud to say it, but i'm an overthinker. In today's society, WHO ISN'T!?!?!
But that, right there, is a huge problem. If we all overthink, then how are we going to actually understand each other?!
In this episode, i talk about the dangers of overthinking SPECIALLY when it comes to relationships. Oh, i also talk about overthinking when it comes to family (ahem)
But honestly, this is just a glimpse at what it looks like for us overthinkers, and how dangerous it could be, and how we can actually deal with it!

6 x 16 : 4 Years With Harm OCD and How I've Managed
Breaking Down the Breakdown
07/02/24 • 33 min
In this episode, I want to remind everyone of what made me start a podcast in the first place. I was diagnosed with Harm OCD in 2020 and my life has changed since. The first few months were really tough , and i realized not everybody knows exactly what they are dealing with, and how much harder it is to live life undiagnosed, and living in the unknown.
I'm here to take a look back at everything I've had to face, everything I've had to go through, and to hopefully show everybody who are in the same shoes that they are doing great! That we should never give up, because it might not seem like it, but we are slowly taking our happiness back!
Love y'all! And if you want to be a guest on the show feel free to reach out!

6x15: Please Please Please, Don't Ghost People!
Breaking Down the Breakdown
06/25/24 • 32 min
As someone who's been ghosted, it sucked
As someone who's ghosted people, i just didn't want to get hurt because i hate confrontation
BUT YOU SEE?! "I" . A selfish reason. I would rather hurt others than own up to the truth and be transparent.
This episode deals with ghosting and why as people we need to be better and actually learn to NOT ghost people. To consider the implications of ghosting is to honestly be a decent human being. We can save so many people from crippling anxiety and destroyed self esteem if we just, you know, OWN UP TO IT.
If you are either the ghostee/ghoster, i would love to have you on a future episode so we can discuss the whys and the hows!

6x14: Rejection in Dating (And what NOT to do to yourself!)
Breaking Down the Breakdown
06/18/24 • 29 min
Rejection sucks. Rejection hurts. Most times, rejection makes us think we are not worthy of love, of ANYTHING in this world.
But this is exactly, what we should NEVER do. To go down this spiral, this rabbit hole, which is where all of us end up meeting each other (Hello fellow HOLE)
In this episode i talk about my very (triggering) and real way that i used to cope with rejection. It was so unhealthy, and it destroyed me for YEARS.
I hope for those of you who can relate, I hope y'all learn something from this today
Love y'all! And HAPPY PRIDE!

Breaking Down the Breakdown
02/16/23 • 31 min
It's one of the most polarizing topics ever brought up in the relationship world, and it's definitely a dealbreaker for most. In this episode, I'm joined by 2 of my friends who are currently embarking on an LDR, and they have been the most "poster child" representative of being in an LDR. Join us as we talk about challenges of being in one and how they manage to navigate through the ins and outs of being in a long distance relationship.
