Think: “I told him I was fine and cried for 3 hours.” | | **What I’m Unlearning** | Share something you used to believe that no longer serves you. Ex: “I thought love was supposed to feel like anxiety.” | | **Rinse & Repeat** | Talk about a coping pattern you keep repeating — and why it’s so damn hard to break. | | **Naked Truth** | Just one uncomfortable but real statement. Ex: “I sometimes start fights because I miss being held.” | | **Scrubbed Raw** | Talk about a moment or topic that made you feel exposed, raw, or undone. | | **Back of the Label** | Pick a popular self-care buzzword and get real about what it _actually_ feels like. | | **Mental Health Myth of the Week** | Break down a toxic or misleading idea (e.g., "healing is linear") with real-life examples. | | **Steam Check** | A grounding moment — breathing, journaling prompt, small ritual, or sensory check-in. | | **You’re Not Alone If…** | Rapid-fire things people might relate to. Ex: “You cry after standing up for yourself. You over-explain because you think love is earned.” | FIRST COUPLE EPISODE IDEAD: ### **Ep 1: “Getting Naked Isn’t Easy”** **Theme**: Introduce the podcast.
