Thoughts May Vary: Recent Episodes
Gabriela Ulloa & Meadowlark Monaghan
Thoughts May Vary is a podcast about changing our minds. With the common threads of mental health and nuance weaved throughout each conversation, TMV encourages its listeners to share what they’re learning in real time while illuminating the process. Garnering the power of community, TMV hopes to make personal development less isolating and far more genuine. Life is about the journey, not the destination, so why not make the ride interesting?
Hosted Gabriela Ulloa and Meadowlark Monaghan, Thoughts May Vary brings new episodes each Monday that feature in-time lessons from the co-hosts and their guests. Opinions change, mentalities waver, and thoughts most definitely may vary.

Pull out those notebooks because today’s lesson in community care is a powerful one! Today, we are welcoming licensed social worker and mental health educator, Minaa B, to the podcast to learn all about Owning Our Struggles and healing in community care. From how to be a better peer to culturally competent mental health care, we spoke about how self care is the bridge to community care; and community care is the bridge to community healing.
Throughout this conversation we covered:
- Minaa’s new book “Owning Our Struggles: A Path to Healing and Finding Community in a Broken World”
- Navigating community care + mental health advice on the internet
- How Minaa’s personal experiences influenced her philosophy
- Realizing the power of group therapy
- How to recognize when content isn’t for you (& more on digital communities)
- Community care translation into politics + systematic level community healing
- Minaa’s favorite actionable healing tools
- Gratitude, grounding, co-regulating with community, & more
- 5 quick tips to be a better peer
As Minaa reminds us, “we are not healing to exist within a vacuum; we are healing to integrate into community”. In OWNING OUR STRUGGLES (on sale: 08/22/23)Minaa helps us to find the courage to start accepting and healing from our pasts through the power of self-realization and community care.
In this powerful and practical guide, Minaa shares therapeutic tools, client stories, and actionable insights to help you on your healing journey, along with reflections from her personal experiences. Each chapter focuses on a common emotional struggle—from moving past isolation and despair, to navigating racial trauma, developing emotional maturity, and finding our village.

Please welcome back one of our most favorite people, Johanna Kandel!
Johanna is the founder of The Alliance for Eating Disorders — the nation’s leading nonprofit providing referrals, education, and support to individuals experiencing eating disorders and their loved ones. After recovering from a long battle with various EDs, she founded The Alliance, bringing her personal insight into the incredible work that she does.
Last time Johanna graced TMV (“Thought 55. Johanna Kandel On Supporting Yourself When You Have An Eating Disorder”), the response was overwhelming! Y’all loved her wisdom, vulnerability, and tangible tools. So, this week, we brought her back for a community Q&A. We asked her many of your questions including early signs to tell you’re relapsing, how to implement boundaries, navigating food guilt, body neutrality vs. body positivity, and more.
From 29:15 - 35:23 we speak to questions related to strategies around eating + nourishing your body (re: food guilt, building healthy relationships with food while eating “well”, + tips to nourish yourself). While there are no specifics in here, if this feels a little activating to you go ahead and skip go the next question at 35:23 <3
0:17 UN Event Recap
7:42 Johanna’s Unpacking
10:52 Q&A starts! Q1: I’m sick of talking about my ED because nothing has changed even after talking about it a lot. Any advice?
16:19 Q2: Early signs to tell you’re relapsing + how to open up to a partner when you know you are relapsing
21:19 Q3: Any thoughts or advice for those who fall into disordered eating but not full ED?
24:35 Q4: Is there anything The Alliance For ED is doing to help facilitate revisions to the DSM?
25:37 Q5: How to put boundaries with your friends on topics to voice without feeling “sensitive”?
29:28 Q6: I finally feel free from food guilt or the fear of certain “unhealthy foods” but now I feel like I eat in a really chaotic way without being conscious of what I eat for the fear of being obsessive with it again. How do I build a healthy relationship with food while also eating “well”?
31:33 Q7: I’m trying so hard to eat but nothing sounds good. Tips for nourishing yourself when it just feels hard?
36:26 Q8: How to achieve body neutrality? Don’t think I can get to body positivity?
41:12 Q9 I still engage in some behaviors that aren’t as detrimental as others just to ensure less anxiety. What are the best tools to calm down to stop a purge or engagement?
45:11 Q10 How to support a friend who is deep into an ED and getting worse?
47:11 Q11 I’ve been struggling with an ED for 10+ years, can you ever say you’re recovered?
The Alliance offers comprehensive services, including:
• Educational presentations and training days
• Free, weekly, therapist-led support groups nationwide (virtual and in-person) for those experiencing eating disorders and for their loved ones
• Support and referrals through both our free help-line and comprehensive referral website/app
• Direct, low-cost, life-saving, outpatient treatment to underinsured and uninsured adults in the South Florida community.
• Unique and empowering Southern Smash scale smashing events and SmashTALK panel discussions.

This week, the cohosts unpack a summer of self growth and healing.

Well well well, if it isn't the hypothetical smoke circle of the century back at it again for another pod ep. Maryah Greene is a New York based Plant Doctor & Stylist and founder of the plant design firm, Greene Piece. She is a former elementary educator and graduate from the Bank Street College of Education. Seemingly unrelated, Maryah’s time spent in the classroom coupled with her journey as NYC’s go-to plant specialist, sprouted her debut picture book, Good Things (published by Penguin Random House). Much like her plants, Maryah knows what it’s like to start from seed and has no intention of stopping anytime soon.
Shop Good Things, a tender and honest story about loss, hope and memory. AVAILABLE August 1, 2023.

This week, the co-hosts unpack the vital role that failure plays in personal development and share their top coping strategies for navigating creative blocks. In a world full of “cringe” and “pick me’s”, not being afraid to be seen trying is a superpower for growth and self discovery.
As friend of the podcast Tefi loves to remind us, fail faster to learn quicker. Every "no" you get told, is getting you closer to that "yes"!

Ever wondered why self worth is the key to manifesting? Looking for expansive friendships? Want to get what this Lucky Girl Syndrome is all about? Let’s just start by saying… you manifested this episode.
Where to even begin with this episode? You can actively see m+g’s brains working to process in real time. Today, we are joined by Jessica Gill, Director of Podcast & Media at To Be Magnetic + Co-Host of The Expanded Podcast. To Be Magnetic is the #1 destination for neural manifestation with a unique process backed by neuroscience, psychology, EMDR, epigenetics, and energetics with a little spirituality sprinkled on top. We chat all about TBM’s protocol and the role of self worth when it comes to manifesting. We unpacked the importance of short-term manifestations and answered some of your questions including overcoming fear of failure, how to manifest when you’re depressed, and what happens when you’re not seeing results.

It’s National Eating Disorder Awareness Week and today we are talking to one of our favorite people, Johanna Kandel. Johanna is the founder of The Alliance for Eating Disorders — the nation’s leading nonprofit providing referrals, education, and support to individuals experiencing eating disorders and their loved ones. After recovering from a long battle with various EDs (which we get into), she founded The Alliance, bringing so much of her personal insight into the incredible work that she does. This conversation was packed with vulnerability, wisdom, and resources.
With Johanna, we discussed the genetic link to eating disorders and the power of understanding what is in our control, understanding when it’s time for treatment vs things you can do on your own, the power of a diagnosis (and dangers in self diagnosis), thoughts on dieting (don’t get her started on ozempic), and how to talk to someone you are concerned about.
The Alliance offers comprehensive services, including:
- Educational presentations and training days
- Free, weekly, therapist-led support groups nationwide (virtual and in-person) for those experiencing eating disorders and for their loved ones
- Support and referrals through both our free help-line and comprehensive referral website/app
- Direct, low-cost, life-saving, outpatient treatment to underinsured and uninsured adults in the South Florida community.
- Unique and empowering Southern Smash scale smashing events and SmashTALK panel discussions.
They also have an incredible Instagram as well as will be hosting virtual support groups all week long for National Eating Disorder Awareness Week Feb 27—March 5
BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE ALLIANCE!

Weekly support groups include Pro-Recovery ED Support, LGBTQ+ Support, Friends + Family Group, and more!

Today’s episode is all about examining how root beliefs about ourselves can manifest as triggers in different ways. You’ve probably heard us say that life likes to present you with opportunities to learn a lesson or to heal a wound. Oftentimes, despite the breadth of experiences in which these opportunities show up, the lesson remains the same. Today, we share some of our core wounds and examples of how life likes to throw us scenarios in which to practice healing said wounds.
Today, we cover:
0:00-7:32 smells, bonfires, & late nights out
7:33-10:34 setting the scene
10:35-14:25 m+g’s take on core wounds
14:26-22:38 g’s core wound unpacking
22:39-29:23 m’s core wound unpacking
29:24-35:55 good enough to not need receipts
35:56-42:50 therapy then and now

Today we are joined by Ryan Kingman, Meadow’s mentor(!), who graced us all with weird wellness practices and myriad lessons from a brand founder. A brand building legend, Kingman spoke to us about identifying your brand values, authentic leadership practices, how to know when it’s time to pivot if you always follow “the why”, and so much more. And… he would know. Kingman has played many roles, including — Element’s Director of Global Marketing, Stance Socks’ Co-Founder + Chief Marketing Officer, Igloo’s VP of Partnership/Collaboration Division, and is a consultant, strategic developer, + partner at Studio Remains. We also got into his latest venture, Temple of Weirdness & Wellness, and some of the lasting coping strategies that have impacted him (hint, think: cold plunges, breathwork, meditation, stoicism, and plant medicine, to name a few).

Today’s unpacking is a reminder that healing isn’t linear. We can be in one of the best places we’ve been in (emotionally, mentally, interpersonally, etc) *and* still have a lot of work left to do. We also get into a conversation about what it means to compartmentalize your identity in community spaces and allowing people access to you.
Today, we cover:

Since our Unpacking Healthy Sex After Trauma episode was such a hit (and since G is six months into her loving relationship + M is now engaged), we decided to dive into unpacking healthy relationships after trauma. From how to communicate your previous trauma to a new partner to things you can say in a disagreement to fight productively, we are once again learning the hard way so that you don’t have to. We share how we met our partners and answer your questions about relationships.
Today, we cover:
- How to fight productively with your partner
- Things you can say in a disagreement
- A heart opening exercise to practice at home
- How having needs is our right and communicating them is our responsibility
- How to learn to easily take accountability + apologize
- Identifying when you have standards + when you have blocks

Welcome to Season 03 of Thoughts May Vary! You didn’t think we would leave you for the holidays, did you? It’s the most *triggering* time of the year! Of course we had to come back with our holiday coping routine ideas for you.
Today, in this season opener, we have a catch-up of our time off between seasons, touching on how to build a trust muscle and bringing our inner child along for the healing within that. Then, we dive all into our holiday coping routines.
This Thought covers making space for emotions, how to set boundaries with family members, inner child healing during the holidays, and learning to trust yourself again. We can’t wait for you all to be with us for this next season. Remember, to submit a question, theme, or suggest a guest you’d like to see on the pod by visiting thoughtsmayvary.com/contact

Happy mercury retrograde! That’s our feeble attempt at a positive Mercury reframe. Please enjoy listening to us more thoughtfully describe different ways we approach breaking our negative patterns (hint: one of them is reframing) in today’s episode.
Today’s Thoughts include:
- We’re not working to get 1% better everyday (aka healing isn’t linear)
- Visualizations of emotional healing in our body and the mind-body connection
- Forgiveness is about releasing us, not them
- You can live in your toxic pattern til you’re 90 or you can live like you’re around the corner from breaking that cycle

Today we’re talking shop. As two women who thought they found their dream jobs to up-and-quit to go freelance—and loving it— we each get asked about our professional journeys a lot. Today, we chat a bit about thoughts on what learning to be your own boss/coworker/agents look like, finding professional validation in the right and wrong places, and learning how to brag, professionally speaking, in a truthful and self confident way. We’re joined by Meredith Fineman, the author of “Brag Better: Master the Art of Fearless Self-Promotion”, who chats with us about how we can learn to get loud, proud, and strategic about sharing their skills and accomplishments with the world.
Send us in your work questions on IG or Patreon and we’ll do an “all things work Q&A” on our Patreon this month! Ask questions: https://www.patreon.com/thoughtsmayvary

Content Warning: Disordered eating & abortions
This episode is not what we thought it would be. Shortly after the overturn of Roe v Wade, this conversation is very much us unpacking and processing in real time - which is basically the mission statement of the pod so despite how chaotic and inconclusive this episode feels to us, we stand by it. If this isn’t the conversation you want to hear today, we’ll see you next week with an incredible guest episode.

This episode was recorded before the overturn of Roe v. Wade. We hope it brings some healthy distraction and laughter. Please take care of yourself because we need you. How can we show up for a revolution without chaos? By going higher. Taking accountability, thoughtfully owning our energy, emotions, and actions. We have to heal ourselves to heal the world.

Chris Klemens is a comedian, podcast host, and “world renowned hot mess”. His podcast, which is aptly described as a love child of The Daily Show and Tosh.0, shows off Chris’ ability to be hilariously chaotic and thoughtfully poignant all at once (our kinda energy). This Thought, Chris unpacks transition periods and shifts in identity that come with ten years of comedy on the internet and a cross-country move.

Well, well, well if it isn’t Gaby’s long lost hermana. Please give a warm welcome to Tefi Pessoa, the content creator and media personality the world needs. The TikTok legend, TEDx speaker, and certified Miami mami not only solves Meadow’s identity issues and Gaby’s q’s about masculine and feminine energies, but also gives Meadow an intro into what being from Miami means while reminding Gaby who tf she is. Put it this way, within the first 5 minutes of the episode, Meadow heard Gaby’s voice hit octaves she didn’t know where possible. Thoughts span from: confidence with bad bitch dimples (aka cellulite), self empowerment/not letting other’s tell you who you are, code switching from too-latina to not-latina-enough, and so much more. Stay tuned to the very end for the drama that was a round of “This or That: Miami Edition.” Don’t forget to do your homework before the episode (links below). Besitos.

Welcome to Vicious Cycle! Where we rehash old Thoughts during our hiatus until Season 2. We're starting you off with one of the girls' favs. Enjoy!
For Thought 04, the girls are joined by their friend and gifted author, Cole Brown. The three discuss thoughts on: being Black in white spaces, how to move through identity formation when people project narratives onto you, separating Cole the person from Cole the character, and the dichotomy between caring so much about your words and art.
Cole also dives into his the thoughts behind his work, touching on the cowriting process of working on Matt James' (the first Black Bachelor) new book as well as the dichotomy between caring so much about his words only to relinquish creative control while turning it into a TV show (yeah, Greyboy was picked up by ABC Signature and Yara Shahidi's 7th Sun production company with Cole as an Executive Producer.)

- how siblings raised within the same household can have vastly different parents
- breaking down our Mother and Father wounds

our goal has always been to have tmi+taboo conversations around mental health/all of the nuances that go into being human (hi relationships, sex, and everything in between) as well as to build a community of people who want to air out their shit while learning in real time with us. what we didn’t see coming was the support, love, hype, and friendship y’all would bring to each other too. you’ve come together to support one another in ways we never imagined and we’re so excited for what’s to come. we promise to continue to show up authentically and vulnerably each week in an effort to hopefully remind you that you are most definitely not alone. so while we’re taking a lil episode break (it’s a month don't @ us), we’ll be yelling on tiktok and of course ig so be sure to stay tapped in. catch us on monday for thought 22 because yes, we are just ~that~ annoying that we ended our season with 22 episodes because hello, angels etc. we adore each and every one of you. con mucho amor and infinite gratitude, m+g

For the last guest episode of Season 01, the girls were joined by friend and creative activist, Dom Roberts. This girl-time packed Thought covers all thoughts from:
- Dating (the hair test, sexual boundaries, etc)
- Why Dom ended her ‘The Uncomfortable Podcast’
- How having “digital activist” as part of your public identity, mixed with people-pleasing tendencies, leads to being robbed of your Black joy
- Unlearning people pleasing tendencies to realize that setting boundaries + taking care of ourselves isn’t selfish
Stay tuned for the end of this Thought when, in honor of Dom ending her podcast ‘The Uncomfortable Podcast’, we ended with a very revealing rapid-fire with uncomfortable questions only, including Dom’s funniest sex story, the last fight her and bestie Kenzie Elizabeth got into, the whackest brand campaign she ever did, and most memorable DM she’s ever gotten.

This week, the girls discuss mental health stigma’s reputation as a cultural flaw (when it should be viewed through a lens of racism) and how coping is valid whether you’re smoking a cigarette or making compassionate space for your feelings in a therapy setting. And other thoughts on sex, blue zones, and (as per usual) their periods.

Maryah came in hot, ready to unpack growing and processing being a human in this world.
The three girls share thoughts on:
- The process of growing in real time and Marie Kondo-ing our feelings
- The “strong Black woman” trope
- All things interracial relationships, including "The Silk Conversation"
- And suicidal thoughts, rock bottoms, and not being victimized by your success

The most grounding and validating pod we deserve to start our Mondays with - please give a warm, TMV welcome to Jesse Israel. Jesse is a social entrepreneur, meditation leader, and former record label executive who is a master of community. You might have heard of him - his meditation movement, The Big Quiet, has led mass meditations in iconic places like Madison Square Garden, featured musical performances from artists like Miguel, and even went on tour with Oprah from 2019-2020. Today, Jesse reminds us that true thought leaders lead with vulnerability, within boundaries, by sharing with us his recent internal transformation.
In conversation, thoughts range from:
- Modeling vulnerability by speaking from a scar vs a wound
- Manifesting? Try Manifucking
- A lesson on boundaries Jesse learned from Brene Brown
- A Quick Guide To Getting (Back) Into Meditation
Stay tuned at the end of the episode when Jesse leads us all in a quick Big Quiet Mass Virtual Meditation to set us up for the rest of our day!

Well, well, well if it isn’t Gaby’s long lost hermana. Please give a warm welcome to Tefi Pessoa, the content creator and media personality the world needs. The TikTok legend, TEDx speaker, and certified Miami mami not only solves Meadow’s identity issues and Gaby’s q’s about masculine and feminine energies, but also gives Meadow an intro into what being from Miami means while reminding Gaby who tf she is. Put it this way, within the first 5 minutes of the episode, Meadow heard Gaby’s voice hit octaves she didn’t know where possible. Thoughts span from: confidence with bad bitch dimples (aka cellulite), self empowerment/not letting other’s tell you who you are, code switching from too-latina to not-latina-enough, and so much more. Stay tuned to the very end for the drama that was a round of “This or That: Miami Edition.” Don’t forget to do your homework before the episode (links below). Besitos.

People tend to act like life begins at the age of fame for those thrown into the spotlight. It’s an ironic story for someone who is the living embodiment of ‘leading your own charge’. Natalie Joy, certified surgical technologist and model, was thrown into said spotlight primarily through the lens of her partner, entrepreneur and former Bachelor, Nick Viall. Little does that following know how resilient, tenacious, and grounded this woman truly is. Which is why our cohosts were beyond honored to peel back the curtain and share another amazing woman and dear friend's story. This week, Natalie so generously shared her thoughts on:
- Her origin story: chasing after dreams no matter what your path looks like
- Finding healthy love after abuse
- Coping with projections in media (‘would you ever take life advice from these people?’)
- Positive self talk and reframing as a way to build in confidence
- Romanticizing your life for yourself, not for the consumption of others
The good moods are infectious. Thank you again Natalie!
Content Warning: This episode includes conversation around abusive relationships, from roughly the 25-30 minute mark, with strong verbiage around physical abuse. If that feels activating for you in any way, skip this portion or come back another Monday, we’ll be here :)

This week, TMV welcomes icon and role model Chrissy Rutherford to the pod! Chrissy is a living embodiment of everything the girls love: an editorial and social media legend with over 12 years in the industry who also champions mental health and cofounded 2BG Consulting with fellow editor Danielle Prescod to consult for fashion and beauty brands (along with influencers) on how to implement anti-racist communication strategies. Her career is so impressive that naturally the girl’s spent little-to-no time covering it. Instead, they got to know Chrissy’s thoughts on:
- Self discovery and personal development as a lifelong journey
- Operating on your own timeline and finding peace within yourself (rather than external sources)
- How her family reacts to her open vulnerability of their family dynamics online
- Where anxiety meets spirituality from life lessons to meditation

This week, Gaby vulnerably and generously shares her thoughts on her experience at the Hoffman Process (a week-long healing retreat of transformation and development for people who feel stuck in their life). As a Hoffman legacy, she knew this therapy bootcamp would as expected as going to college in her family, but she always stood firm on going on her own terms. And thankfully so, for this very life-changing time spent at Hoffman became what she decided to publicly share about (despite the stigma) on one beloved mental health blog - The Local Optimist - while Meadow was still managing it. And the rest is history.

Well if it ain’t the girls who started it all. This week, miss Maddi Bragg, the queen of all things food and feelings on the internet, gracefully took her thrown upon the TMV platform.

This conversation we chat about Maddi’s thoughts on:
- Being forced to grow up quickly while unintentionally falling into the public eye
- Why she left the internet and how she found herself in food (plus how she’s feeling being back on the internet have you seen these woman’s vlogs they are the safest sweetest place on the internet)

Three best friends sit down to talk all things sex. You’re welcome. This week’s thought features the pod’s resident sex fairy, Meadow’s long-time bff, Gaby’s new(ish) bff, and founder of the best underwear company in the world b.WR, Sara Shokouhi. From the brand’s birth-story and it’s sexual wellness roots to pity fucking, slut-shaming, why Gaby refuses to have mediocre sex and why Sara deserves an award for never faking an orgasm—no topic is off limits. Because that’s the whole point, isn’t it? To cultivate enough of an approachable and (hopefully) educational narrative around a very basic and primal need.
Plus, the girls unpack why anger may just be their best motivator (sounds super healthy) and deprogramming cultural stigmas while Sara poses the valuable question: how are we expected to be fully functional sexual beings if we’re never taught anything and what we are potentially taught is dripping in shame? Get ready for quite the listen and join the girls on their quest to debunk the myth that the person you marry will inventively be shitty in bed.

This week is a tried-and-true stream of consciousness between the two girls as they unpack the complexities of having trauma as a part of their ~brand~
Thoughts run from:
- triggers as our responsibilities
- feelings of shame that come with growing and healing
- redefining “vulnerability” when trauma is your brand
- how siblings raised within the same household can have vastly different parents
- breaking down our Mother and Father wounds

Friend, entrepreneur, model, and pilates instructor - Tasha Franken - joins Gaby and Meadow for Thought 07 where the three begin to scratch the surface on the mind-body connection.
Tasha’s thoughts move from her experience healing with an eating disorder, to her “scout story”, to how the phrase ‘do what feels good’ is extremely irritating when you can’t trust yourself yet or don’t understand how to connect with your body, to the potential for someone to discover her long lost journals and make millions with a tell-all.

This week’s Thought is a big one. Meadow, as a mental health professional and suicide loss survivor (the girls unpack it, it’s a counterintuitive term they know), shares her personal story and all the tools, tips, and resources she has accumulated in an effort to make suicide prevention less scary. They cover thoughts around Meadow losing her brother, how to have an 'are you suicidal?' conversation, and everything suicide prevention related that should be covered in our public education by now. Again, Meadow is not a licensed therapist, but a mental health worker who worked in non-profits within the Behavioral Healthcare System for many years. If you are in need of immediate support, please dial 911. If you are need of resources or support right now, text HELLO to 741-741 or call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.
NOTE: By July 2022, the United States will have a National Suicide Hotline that can be reached by dialing 9-8-8. This Act was signed into law thanks to NAMI! One of the former nonprofits Meadow worked for!

For Thought 04, the girls are joined by their friend and gifted author, Cole Brown. The three discuss thoughts on: being Black in white spaces, how to move through identity formation when people project narratives onto you, separating Cole the person from Cole the character, and the dichotomy between caring so much about your words and art.
Cole also dives into his the thoughts behind his work, touching on the cowriting process of working on Matt James' (the first Black Bachelor) new book as well as the dichotomy between caring so much about his words only to relinquish creative control while turning it into a TV show (yeah, Greyboy was picked up by ABC Signature and Yara Shahidi's 7th Sun production company with Cole as an Executive Producer.)

This Throwback Thursday (don’t worry, we know it’s Monday), we’re going back in time briefly to when summer was just turning into fall. The girls got on a call to unpack their summer baggage and reflect on their brief podcasting hiatus. Their unfiltered stream-of-consciousness takes you on a journey from thoughts surrounding: consciously choosing confidence each morning to being single for the first time since forming a healthy self-identity to an obligatory gush over their friendship to gaby reading from her journal to diagnosing random skin ailments and discussing their self-prescribed treatment. Enjoy.

This week on TMV, the girls welcome their first guest and internet-turned-irl-friend Sophia Kelly to the podcast. Sophia is a lifestyle and wellness influencer who overshares as much as Gaby and Meadow on the internet. She also has just as many thoughts on topics including-but-lot-limited-to: body image and getting work done, owning your identity after accepting identities that were projected onto you, and grappling with not having the excuse of “bad parents” to blame for your mental health challenges. Warning: Thought 02 also includes Sophia’s life story with answers to all the questions you would have as a follower of the iconic @sophiakelly (formerly @wellnesswithsoph).

Y’all are in for a spicy first thought from the girls. On this inaugural thought (btw we call episodes “thoughts” around here), Meadow & Gaby are opening up about their experiences within toxic and abusive relationships. But before you hear that, the girls had to pop in to record a little intro with a disclaimer about how some new revelations have vastly changed their thinking on the subject. (TLDR; one of us is talking about our experience with a past toxic relationship while they are presently in a healthy relationship…. yeah, well since the time of recording that, the relationship has then ended. the intro has the tea.)
