Please note a CW/TW for extensive discussions of substance abuse, relapse, recovery, trauma, and homelessness.

58. Humanizing Addiction, with Jim Tripp of Modern/Haunted

Fuckin’ Lewises.

This week we explored a few memories which remind us of who we once were, before trauma began its chokehold on our personalities. We explore what we’ve done to reconnect with those earliest versions of ourselves, and how we have and have not changed since then. This episode goes deep and dark, just like we like it.

Tattoos were one of the many common interests that we bonded over when we were first getting to know each other. This week we explored what tattoos mean to us as a form of self-expression, and some of the stories behind the ones we’ve gotten so far. <3

55. To Nourish The Soul

When a trauma-induced need for control starts to warp your life into a shape you can’t tolerate, is it possible to turn things around? In today’s episode we explored this question through the lens of a great quote from E.L. Doctorow and an inspiring TikTok comment section. <3
