Ep.4 Dear Inner Child: Sorry For The Truama

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. But also, we’re doing our best now.” Here’s what we’re unpacking: 1. Meeting Your Inner Child: • That awkward moment when you realize you’ve been ignoring the kid inside you for years. • How our inner child shows up in adult life—whether it’s through people-pleasing, perfectionism, or yelling at slow drivers. 2. The Apology Tour: • Saying sorry to the kid who got blamed for adult problems. • Owning up to the ways we’ve repeated cycles of pain. 3. Trauma Responses, But Make Them Funny: • Fight, flight, freeze, or fawn? How we all became trauma-response ninjas in our childhood homes. • Hilarious stories of how our inner kids show up in the wild (like crying over spilled coffee as if it’s a personal betrayal). 4. Re-Parenting Ourselves: • Becoming the parent we needed when we were kids (even if that means learning how to actually rest). • The struggle of balancing healing, growth, and day-to-day adult chaos. 5. Blended Family Edition: • Raising seven kids while trying not to repeat the trauma cycle—easier said than done. • The moments when parenting triggers your own childhood wounds, and you have to remind yourself not to hide in the pantry. Why You Should Listen: This episode is for anyone who grew up feeling like they had to earn love or walk on eggshells just to survive. We’ll share: • Sarcastic but relatable stories of childhood chaos. • The honest truth about what healing looks like (hint: it

Ep.3 Love Languages: But Make Them Funny

Welcome back to Unhinged Memoirs! In this episode, we’re taking a deep dive into love languages—but with our signature sarcastic, sassy, and totally unfiltered twist. Forget the mushy, textbook explanations, because we’re here to roast, laugh, and unpack what love languages really look like in everyday life. Here’s what we’re covering: 1. Acts of Service: • Is it love, or are they just tired of you folding towels the wrong way? • When your partner thinks taking out the trash counts as foreplay. 2. Words of Affirmation: • Are they complimenting you, or just buttering you up so they don’t have to unload the dishwasher? • “I love you” vs. “You’re not as annoying as everyone else I’ve met.” 3. Receiving Gifts: • From diamond rings to gas station snacks—who says love can’t be practical? • “I got you this because it made me think of you”… or was it just on sale? 4. Quality Time: • Watching Netflix together doesn’t count if one of you is asleep, okay? • How to survive “mandatory fun” when you’d rather be alone. 5. Physical Touch: • Hugs, kisses, and the age-old debate: Is a back scratch really romantic? • Love language or personal space invasion? You decide. We’ll share: • Our own embarrassing and hilarious stories of mismatched love languages. • How our childhoods and past relationships shaped the way we give (and demand) love. • The absolute chaos of trying to blend seven kids’ needs with our own. And, of course, we’re bringing plenty of sarcasm, bold humor, and maybe even a few emotional moments along the way. Tune in to hear us roast each other’s love languages while reminding you that no matter how messy it gets, love—and laughter—always win. P.S.: Share your love language fails or funny moments with us!

Ep.2 You Don't Have To Fix Them

Welcome back to Unhinged Memoirs! In this episode, we’re diving into a lesson many of us had to learn the hard way: You don’t have to fix them. If you’ve ever been the emotional handyman in someone else’s life—patching up their wounds, smoothing over their chaos, and pouring yourself into someone who can’t even meet you halfway—this one’s for you. We’re calling out that fixer mentality, breaking down where it comes from, and figuring out how to put it to rest once and for all. Because here’s the truth: people aren’t projects, and you are not a renovation team. It’s not your job to fix, save, or carry someone who doesn’t want to grow. And honestly? It’s exhausting. So grab a drink, sit back, and let’s unpack the emotional baggage of trying to fix everyone but ourselves. What to Expect: • Where the Fixer Mentality Comes From: We’re talking childhood dynamics, past relationships, and how life taught us to equate love with “fixing.” • Why Fixing People is a Trap: Spoiler alert: you can’t save someone who doesn’t want to save themselves. • Our Personal Fixer Stories: • Liz: “I thought if I just loved them hard enough, they’d finally see their worth. Instead, I lost sight of my own.” • Jess: “I was the unpaid therapist in every relationship I’ve ever been in—until I realized no one was doing the same for me.” • Val: “I didn’t just try to fix people; I built entire scaffolding around their chaos. Guess who it collapsed on?” • Setting Boundaries and Letting Go: How to stop trying to “fix” others and focus on healing yourself instead. • Redefining Love: What it really means to support someone without carrying their emotional baggage for them. Takeaways: • You can love and support someone without trying to fix them. Their healing is their responsibility. • Fixing others often comes at the cost of your own well-being—protect your peace. • Setting boundaries isn’t selfish; it’s necessary for healthy relationships. Call to Action: • Have you ever tried to fix someone? Share your story with us! DM us or email [Your Podcast Email]. We might feature your experience in a future episode. • Follow us for more real talk and unfiltered moments: [Your Social Media Handles]. • Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and review! Your feedback helps us continue unpacking the unhinged moments of life. Outro: Thanks for listening to Unhinged Memoirs! Remember, you are not a fixer-upper crew, and it’s okay to let people figure out their own mess. Protect your peace, focus on your own growth, and let others take responsibility for theirs. Until next time, stay unhinged, stay strong, and remember: You don’t have to fix them.

Ep.1 A Toast To Our Red Flags

Welcome to the first episode of Unhinged Memoirs! We’re diving in headfirst by doing something bold: calling ourselves out. That’s right—this one’s all about our red flags. You know, those little quirks, bad habits, and moments of self-sabotage that we’re finally ready to own. We’ve all been guilty of ignoring the warning signs in others, but today, we’re flipping the script and holding up a mirror. From bad relationship patterns to emotional walls and a sprinkle of unhinged behavior, we’re exposing the messy truths about ourselves. Because let’s be honest, sometimes we were the red flags in the story. So grab a drink and join us as we toast to our toxic traits, laugh through the embarrassment, and share how we’ve grown along the way. Spoiler alert: Growth is messy, but it’s also freaking hilarious. What to Expect: • Meet the Hosts Through Our Red Flags: A crash course in who we are—quirks, chaos, and all. Each of us is laying it all out: from relationship disasters to questionable coping mechanisms. • Our Biggest Red Flags: We’re not holding back. Tune in for the tea on: • Ignoring boundaries (ours and others’). • Picking the same kind of toxic partner over and over. • Having emotional walls so high, even we can’t climb them. • “Fixing” people who never asked to be fixed. • Saying “it’s fine” when it’s very much not fine. • Why We Ignored Them for So Long: Let’s unpack why we clung to those red flags like they were designer handbags. Spoiler: It wasn’t self-love. • How We’re Working on Them: Self-awareness is the first step, but change is hard. We’re sharing what’s worked (and what hasn’t) as we navigate the messy process of growth. • Laughing Through It: Because what’s the point of healing if you can’t laugh at yourself? We’re telling stories that’ll have you saying, “Oh girl, same.”
