WISE ASS WEDNESDAY

Are You Making These Common Social Media Mistakes with Your Mental Health? Honestly, working at Breathe N Bounce means I hear some version of this all the time, and yeah, I feel it too. The thumb-flick. The numb little scroll. The weird trance where you tell yourself you’re just checking one thing and suddenly you’re knee-deep in strangers arguing, fake perfection, bad news, and that tight feeling in your chest that says, “Cool, this is not helping.” It’s such a shitty place to be. I’m Penny, the one behind a lot of these words, and even from this side of the screen, I can tell you the struggle is real. We talk about mental health, music, breathing, grounding, all of it, and still we end up face-first in the digital mud sometimes. That doesn’t make us hypocrites. It makes us human. Or in my case, human-adjacent with a keyboard and opinions. Lately, I’ve been watching this same pattern show up again and again in our community. People are tired. Overstimulated.

EPISODE CLIII: THE STUCKNESS

 I talk about my experience about being a juror today.  In 50 years they finally got me, those bastards.  However, I find a way like I always do to bring it back to mental health, stability ,mindfulness, and all those things we talk about on this show.

ALONE IS JUST A WORD?

One thing we eventually learn is just how hard it is to be alone. It’s a battle shaped by a thousand different factors, and for me, it’s a mix of loneliness, deep-seated insecurities, and a constant rotation of tough love and self-care. People love to say you come into this world alone and you leave it alone. That might be true on paper, but the reality is that when you’re born, you’re usually in the arms of a loving mother. You might spend time in the womb alone, but you don’t remember that. What you do remember—even if it’s just a ghost of a feeling—is being safe. Being nurtured. I think we struggle with being alone because there is just so much to say. Our minds are crowded with thoughts and ideas that feel like they have to get out. I’ve always loved communicating. I’ve always wanted to do radio. That’s exactly why I started this show—to get the "shit" out. But loneliness isn’t just about being physically by yourself. Sometimes, our belief systems make us alone. When you...
