Welcome to the villain era—where self-care looks like boundaries and your cup comes first. This episode breaks down what it means to stop over-giving, pour back into yourself, and be okay with being misunderstood. Growth isn’t always pretty, but it’s always necessary.

No “new year, new me.” Just a soft launch into who I’ve already been becoming.

In this episode, I’m recapping 2025—the lessons, the losses, the growth, and the grace it took to keep going. We’re talking balance, boundaries, and what it really means to move into a new year without pressure, performative goals, or forced reinvention.

This is about honoring the journey, integrating the lessons, and choosing ease over urgency. Same me—just more aligned.

In this episode of Butterfly Effect, we talk about what it really means to spin the block — revisiting old relationships, situations, and versions of ourselves we thought we outgrew. From comfort versus connection to returning healed versus hopeful, we explore why we go back and what those moments reveal about our growth.

Sometimes spinning the block shows you how far you’ve come… and sometimes it reminds you why you left.

When the holidays roll around, so do the people who suddenly spin the block — like clockwork. In this episode, we’re talking about the unexpected texts, the seasonal “I miss you” messages, and the exes who somehow know when the turkey comes out of the oven.

But that’s not all. We’re diving into the other side of Thanksgiving: the unwanted family questions, the pressure-filled conversations you never asked for, and the art of keeping your peace at the dinner table.

And of course, we’re wrapping it up with a segment on Friendsgiving — the expectations, the dynamics, the good vibes, and the low-key drama that makes it its own holiday.

Real talk, real stories, holiday chaos — all after dark.

In this episode, we unravel the strange comfort we find in chaos — the late-night thoughts, the messy emotions, the drama we swear we’re done with but somehow always feel drawn back to. We explore why instability can feel exciting, why silence feels unfamiliar, and why peace sometimes scares us more than the storm. This is a journey into the psychology, the patterns, and the hidden wounds that make chaos feel like home. Honest, raw, and deeply human — this conversation invites you to look at the beauty we think we see in the wreckage… and the freedom waiting once we finally walk out of it
