Love is often portrayed as something that should sweep us off our feet. It is the fairy tale of intensity, devotion, and grand gestures, all embedded in the belief that love conquers everything.

But what happens when those same dynamics become harmful?

In this episode, we explore what it looks like when love turns toxic. We unpack narcissism, gaslighting, emotional abuse, and the ways our culture sometimes glorifies traits and behaviors that are deeply harmful in relationships.

In our very first episode, we unpack the meaning behind the creation of this podcast, the title “You Are Not the Problem”, and why this idea sits at the heart of everything we do. People are often harmed by others or by the systems they live and work in, yet walk away believing the harm is their fault. This episode is about naming that pattern, understanding how it happens, and beginning to loosen the grip of shame and self-blame.

You are not broken. You are not crazy. You are responding exactly as your body was designed to, in a world that profits from your disconnection.

This podcast dismantles the myths of the healing industrial complex and dives into the collective unconscious that keeps us stuck in cycles of shame, burnout, and self-blame. We explore how trauma lives in systems, and how rediscovering your intuition, body, and community can become a radical act of resistance. Because maybe it’s not you that needs fixing – maybe it’s the world.
