Unhinged Memoirs

Have you ever caught yourself reacting to someone, only to realize it wasn’t really about them at all? In this episode, we unpack the hidden ways our unprocessed emotions, past wounds, and old narratives spill over into the present. From snapping at our kids when we’re really stressed, to feeling invisible in relationships and assuming rejection where none exists, we explore how projection and triggers quietly shape our interactions.We’ll dive into: • What projection actually is (and why it’s often our past talking, not the present). • Common triggers—abandonment, rejection, not feeling seen, worthiness—and how they show up in everyday life. • How numbness, as Lori Gottlieb says, isn’t the absence of feeling but the overload of them. • Practical “in-the-moment resets” you can use when you feel hijacked by big emotions. • How to tell the difference between your baggage and someone else’s.Why it matters:When we slow down and ask, “Whose baggage is this anyways?” we stop letting our wounds run the show. We create space for healthier communication, repair, and self-understanding—whether with our kids, our partners, our friends, or even ourselves.✨ Takeaway: You’re not broken for being triggered. Your body is remembering. But you have the power to pause, reset, and choose a new response.

🎙️ When Life Don’t Go As PlannedEpisode Description:In this raw and vulnerable episode, we sit down to unpack the grief that comes with unmet expectations — the dreams we had for ourselves, the milestones we thought we’d hit, and the reality of where life actually took us. From mourning our younger selves, to the loneliness that creeps in whether you’re single, a parent, or somewhere in between, this conversation gets real about depression, self-harm, and the heavy silence of “this wasn’t supposed to be my life.”We explore the pain of feeling stuck, unseen, or “behind in life,” and why so many of us carry shame about where we are versus where we thought we’d be. But we don’t just stay in the pain — we talk about how to honor it, how to reframe it, and how to create hope even when it feels like your story went off track.🔑 Key Talking Points: 1. The Myth of the Perfect Timeline • Societal expectations about careers, marriage, family, and “success.” • The guilt and shame of not hitting milestones “on time.” 2. Mourning Our Younger Selves • Grieving the version of you that didn’t get to live the dream. • Acknowledging the gap between who you imagined and who you became. 3. Loneliness in Different Stages of Life • The loneliness of being single. • The loneliness of parenting and feeling invisible. • How both can coexist in different forms. 4. Mental Health Realities • Depression, intrusive thoughts, and self-harm. • How silence makes these struggles heavier. • Recognizing when pain feels like identity. 5. Reframing & Healing • Finding new meaning outside of the “plan.” • Daily practices to reconnect with yourself. • Choosing self-compassion over shame🎧 Why Listen:This episode is for anyone who has ever whispered, “This isn’t how I thought my life would turn out.” You’ll feel seen, validated, and hopefully a little lighter knowing you’re not the only one rewriting your story mid-chapter.

In this raw and real episode of Unhinged Memoirs, we’re diving deep into a heartfelt (and slightly unhinged) love letter to our inner children—the little versions of us who deserved better but got stuck navigating trauma, narcissistic relationships, and chaotic upbringings.It’s time to say: “Dear inner child, we’re sorry.
