In this episode, Orenda Fink opens up about her journey growing up in chaos with an alcoholic mother struggling with mental illness who self-identified as a practicing and often vindictive witch. As she navigates the trauma of her childhood, Orenda escapes to pursue music, forming bands like Little Red Rocket and Azure Ray. We explore the lasting impact of childhood trauma, the codependent other parent, the fine line between mental illness and the myth of magic, and the ongoing search for healing and self-discovery. A raw and moving conversation about resilience, family, and mental health. Don't miss it!Learn more about Orenda Fink: Orendafink.com Join the Monthly Healing Community Membership

Get Your SH*T Together!
In this episode, I discuss mental health, psychology, functioning, self-care, relationships, childhood trauma, substance abuse, emotional regulation, dysthymia, depression, anxiety, conflict, alcohol, growth, progress, sobriety, and men's mental health. I've given a broad overview about possible reasons for not having one's SH*T together. I related them to being in the context of childhood trauma, but they don't always have to be. These issues can also be in line with problems ranging from ADHD to neurodivergent. It's important to consult a licensed professional. I educate on topics related to childhood trauma and voice my content around that issue. This episode is not a definitive diagnostic tool.
