Episode notes
This week on Blush, we spiral (lovingly) with Heathens and Hearbreakers attending author Lucy Smoke over dry red wine, dark romance, and the messiness of being human. 🍷🖤 We jump from surviving rough weeks to morally gray characters, trauma on the page, healing through writing, and why trigger warnings matter—then immediately pivot to tattoo regrets, emotional movie breakdowns, Kickstarter chaos, and the eternal hunt for the perfect milkshake. It’s funny, raw, unhinged in the best way, and somehow still deeply healing. Dark themes, real talk, reader power, and a little wine-fueled chaos—just how we like it. Trigger warnings and tender topics discussed. Listener discretion advised—but you’re always in control. 💔✨
