It’s Not Weird, It’s Trauma: Talking OCD, PTSD & Depression

In this deeply personal and validating episode, Mya and K open up about what mental health can really look like during and after abuse, toxic relationships, or emotional trauma, and why NONE of it is something to be ashamed of. From depression and PTSD to OCD tendencies that feel confusing or isolating, they normalize the messy aftermath of surviving and how it can shape your brain, your behavior, and ultimately your sense of self.

They dive into the science of trauma, including the real neurological changes that happen in your brain, and share their own stories with vulnerability and humor to show listeners they’re not alone. This conversation breaks down stigma, sheds light on patterns survivors often struggle with in silence, and reminds us all that healing isn’t linear, but support systems, understanding, being gentle with yourself, and psychoeducation can make all the difference.

Whether you’re in the thick of it, still healing, or just starting to realize what you've survived, this one is for you!
