Gatekeeping Depression
It's time to set the record straight: you can absolutely be grateful for everything you have in life while still being sad or depressed. Who knew? It's time parents stop trying to make you happy by telling you to just count your blessings. I also gush over Peacock's new TV show Poker Face.

Let’s Tok about TikTok
This episode talks about the content and comments circulating on TikTok, a popular social media app used by all ages, but especially young people. Are we all becoming content creators, and are we especially going mad because of the algorithm? As a bonus, you get an anti-capitalism and a "the platform is racist" rant! You're welcome <3

Addiction to (Stan) Twitter
Twitter, one of the most entertaining yet annoying apps around, can be very addicting.  Here is a rant/casual talk about the infamous section of Twitter that I find myself interacting with every single day.  Apology time: I was holding the microphone in this episode but I didn't realize the subtle movements I was making, so there's a little noise when it happens. Next week I'll figure out how I can fix it, but stick around for the whole episode <3

Living with Black Mold
I get personal when I open up about my childhood and how it has had a lasting impact on my mental health. Am I like this because I’m a Pisces or is it because my home life messed me up mentally? But hey, I also talk about what music and TV shows I'm watching right now.

The Faces of Depression
Trigger Warning: Suicide mention. Depression looks different depending on the person, and the way it's shown in one person does not negate someone else's battle with depression. Just because we cannot see what's going on in someone else's head or predict what might happen next, doesn't make their suffering any less real.
