My Verbal Journal: Let’s Chat

You aren’t alone, for so long I dealt with all my issues internally because I thought I was the only one who was dealing with certain things. I was convinced there was something wrong with me. We all deal with similar issues throughout life and it’s important for you to know you’re never alone and there’s nothing wrong with you. I hope this podcast allows you to feel seen and helps you better your relationship with yourself and the world. Personal IG: @macileejonesPodcast IG: @myverbaljournal.letschat

  Anxiety & Dating: Two Different Perspectives Ft. Lilly Van Alsburg

  Aug 5, 20261h 12mS5

  My best friend Lilly Van Alsburg is back on the pod, and this episode is all hot takes. We've known each other since we were 8, but we could not be more different when it comes to anxiety and dating. We break down how our anxiety has shown up in totally different ways — social anxiety vs. overthinking, perfectionism, etc. from years of competitive sports, therapy trial-and-error, and what actually helped each of us manage it. Then we get into dating: our opposite approaches, the worst first date I've ever been on, and a rapid-fire red flag vs. deal breaker game where we don't always agree. Two friends, two very different perspectives — grab your coffee for this one. ️ Follow: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Personal IG: @macileejones⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast IG: @myverbaljournal.letschat⁠ Lilly's IG: @lilly.vanalsburg

  The Truth About Cycle Loss, Birth Control, & Getting It Back

  Jul 22, 202639 minS5

  This week's episode is a personal one. I've been off birth control for over a year and still haven't gotten my period back — and if that's you too, I want you to know you're not broken, and you're not alone. We're breaking down everything you need to know about menstrual cycle loss (amenorrhea): what it actually feels like physically and mentally, the real reasons it happens, why coming off birth control can unmask a problem that was there all along, and — most importantly — what you can actually do about it. In this episode, we cover: The physical and mental symptoms of losing your period that no one talks about The HPO axis and why your cycle is connected to way more than reproduction Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA) / RED-S — the most common cause in active women in their 20s How PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, high prolactin, and POI can also drive cycle loss Why "post-pill amenorrhea" almost always means an underlying issue was there before you ever started birth control Why waiting it out isn't a great plan (bone health + estrogen) What labs to actually ask for My own ongoing journey with this, alongside managing ankylosing spondylitis and Hashimoto's Connect w/ RD Blayke for Help Getting Your Cycle Back: Insta: ⁠@dietitianblayke ⁠ send a DM to learn more about my program and get connected! ⁠https://my.practicebetter.io/#/699dc4c14e633a4df222f625/bookings?s=699de054a07dcc9be948a67d⁠ Follow: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Personal IG: @macileejones⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast IG: @myverbaljournal.letschat⁠

  Is Love Like This Even Possible Anymore?

  Jul 10, 20261h 17mS5

  My parents met at summer camp in 6th grade – and then took fourteen years and one five-year breakup to actually get married. They just celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. I brought them both on the pod today to tell their story, but more than that, to get honest about the parts nobody posts: the hardest seasons, what they each gave up for the other, and what's actually kept their love going. And because they did it the slow, completely non-linear way, I asked them the question I think a lot of us are quietly sitting with: Is Love Like This Even Possible Anymore? If you've ever felt behind, burnt out on the apps, or if you're just in need of proof that true love exists, this one's for you.

  The Version of Me I Was Trying to Outrun

  Jun 24, 202640 minS5

  In this episode, I get vulnerable about the five years it took to stop running from myself. From being the girl who said yes to everything — the drinks, the late nights, the validation from men — to overcorrecting into rigid routines, isolation, and perfectionism, I share what it actually looked like to swing between two extremes and call it growth. This one is raw, honest, and for anyone who has ever felt like they were performing a version of themselves just to survive the week. What we talk about: The all-or-nothing mindset and why it kept showing up in every area of her life What "the girl who said yes to everything" was really chasing How the overcorrection looked healthy from the outside but wasn't Over-exercising, undereating, and what she learned from it Why neither version of her was actually healed The girl in between — who she's becoming, and why it's still a work in progress Follow: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Personal IG: @macileejones⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast IG: @myverbaljournal.letschat⁠
