Episode • May 7, • 18m

Ever feel like you’ve outgrown the pain but it still haunts you?
In this unexpected (and totally unfiltered) breakdown of Marvel’s Thunderbolts, I explore how this action-packed antihero movie became a mirror for real-life healing. From scenes that had me sobbing in my seat to powerful metaphors about shame, shadow work, and inner child healing — this episode shows how even fictional superheroes can teach us something about our very real wounds. And trust me, the emotional insights are just as powerful as the explosions.

You might want to listen if:

  • You’ve moved on from your past… but it still weighs on you in quiet moments
  • You carry shame around things you did (or didn’t do) that you’ve never fully processed
  • You relate more to the “antihero” than the polished version of healing everyone else seems to have
  • You want to protect the little girl inside you the way no one else did
  • You crave community but feel like you're too messy to be fully seen
