In this deeply intimate conversation, Malisa and Angie sit together in the rawness of grief as Malisa shares her lived experience following the loss of her son, Jake. They explore the physical and emotional toll of grief, the sacred role of community support, and the moments surrounding Jake's funeral that continue to shape Malisa's healing. The conversation weaves in spiritual signs, family bonds, and the necessity of self-care during profound loss. Together, they reflect on honoring memories, speaking openly about grief, modeling healthy emotional expression for future generations, and finding meaning and purpose in pain. This episode is a compassionate invitation to witness grief without fixing it—and to let vulnerability become a bridge to deeper connection.

Let grief be seen. Choose one safe place—one person, journal page, or quiet ritual—where you allow your grief to exist without being edited, rushed, or explained. Speak the name. Share the memory. Honor the love that remains. When we model honest grief, we don't burden others—we give permission for healing to be human, communal, and deeply alive.

In this reflective conversation, Angie and Malisa explore how energy moves through friendships, networks, and spiritual spaces. They unpack what it means to assess relationships through energetic exchange rather than obligation, how emotional cycles—including menstrual rhythms—shape our perceptions, and why direct communication can feel risky when harmony has been prioritized over honesty. The conversation also touches on the subtle dynamics of networking and spiritual communities, inviting listeners to notice where emotional support flows freely and where it quietly asks too much. At its core, this episode is about learning to trust what you feel, not just what looks good on the surface.

Take a gentle inventory of your relationships this week—not from judgment, but from curiosity. Notice where connection feels mutual and nourishing, and where it quietly drains you. Ask yourself: Do I feel safe to express my needs here? Do I soften or shrink to maintain harmony? Practice one small moment of honest expression—whether that's naming a boundary, honoring your emotional rhythms, or choosing rest without explanation. Self-care isn't just what you do alone; it's how bravely you show up in relationship with yourself and others.

In this deeply reflective conversation, therapist and host Angie and Malisa explore the intimate relationship between self-care and boundaries. They unpack how self-harm and self-abandonment can quietly show up when we ignore our bodies, overextend ourselves, or struggle to say no—especially in caregiving roles. Through honest reflection on parenting, relationship dynamics, and energetic patterns, they examine how our sense of self-worth shapes the boundaries we set and the energy we attract. This episode is a compassionate reminder that self-love isn't just about what we give—it's about what we protect.

This week, pause before you say yes. Place one hand on your body and ask, "What would honoring myself look like right now?" Practice noticing the difference between discomfort that invites growth and discomfort that signals self-abandonment. Let your "no" become an act of devotion, not defense. Every boundary you set is a message to your nervous system that you are safe, worthy, and allowed to choose yourself—without explanation or apology.

In this heartfelt conversation, Angie and Malisa unravel the quiet complexities of emotional health. Together, they explore the tender space where sadness and anger intertwine — the moments when emotional lows are easier to hide behind irritation than to name honestly.

Malisa and Angie reflect on how self-awareness becomes a compass during these emotional dips, helping us recognize what we're truly feeling beneath the surface. Through compassionate dialogue, they invite listeners to honor their emotions without judgment, soften their inner reactions, and allow themselves to be fully human. This episode is a gentle reminder that feeling deeply is not a flaw — it's an act of truth.

Practice emotional honesty by pausing before reacting. When you feel anger rise, place a hand on your chest and ask, "What emotion is underneath this?" Whether it's sadness, fear, or exhaustion, naming the truth creates space for healing. This simple act helps you respond with clarity, compassion, and grounding — instead of defaulting to familiar reactions.

In this powerful conversation, Malisa Hepner and Angie Hawkins explore how growing up around narcissistic traits shapes self-perception, emotional safety, and the tendency to internalize blame. They discuss the lifelong impact of being conditioned to doubt your own reality, the unraveling of ingrained beliefs, and the transformative process of cultivating discernment. Together, they illuminate what it takes to reclaim your truth, rebuild self-trust, and understand where your responsibility ends and someone else's begins.

Begin practicing discernment over default self-blame. When a triggering situation arises, pause and ask three grounding questions:

1. Is this actually my responsibility, or am I reverting to old conditioning?
   
   

2. What evidence supports my perception in this moment?
   
   

3. What would I believe if I trusted myself fully?
   
   

Then, take one aligned action—journaling, setting a boundary, or simply naming the truth out loud—to reinforce your new pattern. If this episode supported your healing, consider donating to help us continue creating conversations that empower trauma survivors and deepen collective understanding.

In this powerful and tender conversation, Malisa and Angie explore how early wounds shape the way we move through the world. They discuss the hidden impact of childhood bullying—the way it teaches us to shrink, question our worth, and scan for danger long after the playground is gone. They reflect on the pain of parental snooping, growing up without emotional support, and the deep loneliness that comes from emotionally immature caregivers.

Together, they connect these childhood experiences to the challenges we face in adulthood: workplace dynamics that mirror old patterns, bosses or coworkers who lack emotional maturity, and the way we continue to override our own needs just to feel safe. With honesty, compassion, and lived experience, Malisa and Angie invite listeners to reclaim the power they lost as kids, rebuild self-trust, and create the emotional safety they always deserved.

Pause and name the pattern. Notice where you still feel watched, judged, or responsible for others' comfort—whether with family, coworkers, or in your own mind. Ask yourself: Who taught me this? Then gently return to truth: "I am allowed privacy. I am allowed boundaries. I am allowed to feel what I feel."

Try a 24-hour boundary check-in. For one day, observe when you shrink, silence yourself, or assume someone is upset with you. Instead of reacting from old wounds, take one grounded breath, place a hand on your heart, and remind yourself: "My needs matter now." These small shifts in awareness become the first steps toward breaking lifelong patterns.

In this heartfelt conversation, Angie and Malisa explore the quiet ways we fill in the blanks of other people's behavior—often without realizing it. Through honest stories and lived experience, the dialogue shines a light on how quickly assumptions can create distance, tension, and misinterpretation. Together, the girls unravel why our minds jump to conclusions, how unspoken fears shape our reactions, and what becomes possible when we pause long enough to communicate with intention. This episode is an invitation to slow down, soften, and choose connection over conflict by seeing others—and ourselves—with greater clarity and compassion.

Pause before you fill in the story. The next time you feel triggered, confused, or certain you "know" why someone acted a certain way, take a breath and check in with your body. Ask yourself: "What am I assuming, and what do I actually know to be true?" Then choose one small act of emotional intelligence—send a clarifying message, ask a curious question, or simply name your feeling. This simple shift opens the door for understanding, healing, and deeper connection in every relationship.
