  Episode #29

  Jesus Take The Bedframe

  Jul 28, 202638 min

  Trigger warnings: religious culture, purity culture, sexual shame, and discussions of sex. Episode 29 of Traumatically Speaking, Jesus Take the Bedframe starts with Sloan teaching Lex about the Mormon phenomenon known as soaking. Lex has approximately 437 questions, none of which Sloan is fully prepared to answer. What begins as a conversation about one of the internet’s wildest rabbit holes quickly turns into trying to make sense of purity culture, religious loopholes, and the sheer creativity of human beings. The deeper they go, the more confused they become, leaving them with one lingering question: …Are Mormons okay? As always, expect plenty of laughter, unfiltered reactions, questionable Google searches, and the kind of dark humor that makes learning about bizarre cultural phenomena way more entertaining than it probably should be.

  Episode #28

  My Strange Addiction

  Jul 21, 202659 min

  Trigger warnings: addiction, compulsive behaviors, trauma, mental health, and emotional avoidance. Episode 28 of Traumatically Speaking , My Strange Addiction , explores the many ways we learn to outrun ourselves. From substances and shopping to overworking, scrolling, relationships, and even productivity, Sloan and Lex unpack the habits that once helped us survive but can quietly become the very things keeping us stuck. This week, Lex opens up about what she jokingly calls her "strange addiction" to Hot Tamales Cinnamon Candy, sharing how a seemingly harmless obsession became a window into something much deeper. Together, Sloan and Lex trace the roots of the addiction back to the emotional needs it was unknowingly meeting, using Lex's story as a reminder that our coping mechanisms often make a lot more sense once we understand where they came from. Together, they explore why trauma changes the way our brains seek comfort, how coping mechanisms can slowly evolve into compulsions, and why escaping reality often feels safer than sitting with it. They discuss the role dopamine plays in addiction, the difference between healthy self-soothing and emotional avoidance, and why so many of us don't realize we're coping until the habit starts costing us something we care about. Through personal stories, psychology, and their usual mix of dark humor and honesty, Sloan and Lex examine what it means to stop judging yourself for the ways you've survived and start asking what those behaviors have been trying to protect you from all along. This episode is a reminder that healing isn't about becoming someone who never struggles—it's about understanding your survival strategies with compassion and learning to choose something different.

  Episode #27

  Love Me, Leave Me, Repeat

  Jul 7, 20261h 4m

  Trigger warnings: childhood trauma, abandonment, attachment wounds, and mental health. Episode 27 of Traumatically Speaking, Love Me, Leave Me, Repeat, was inspired by a question from Chaos Cousin Nia about what it is actually like to date with abandonment wounds. Sloan takes the lead as she and Lex unpack the ways early experiences shape adult relationships and why love can feel both deeply desired and deeply terrifying at the same time. Together, they dive into attachment styles, explore a metaphor about old bricks and new bricks that completely changes the way they think about healing and relationships, and discuss why vulnerability and authenticity can feel so unsafe after a lifetime of expecting people to leave. They also talk about the surprisingly uncomfortable experience of dating someone with a secure attachment style and why healthy love can feel… boring when chaos has always felt like chemistry. Through personal stories, psychology, and their usual mix of dark humor and honesty, Sloan and Lex explore what it means to recognize old patterns without letting them define your future. This episode is a reminder that healing is not about finding the perfect person. It is about becoming willing to build something different. Want a chance to have your story shared on the pod?

  Episode #26

  Slave 4 Britney: Queer Awakenings & Coming Out Stories

  Jun 30, 202650 min

  Trigger warnings: discussions of sexuality, coming out, divorce, breakups Biz Nasty: ⁠ https://traumatically-speaking-co.myshopify.com/⁠ Before you dive into this episode, don't forget to check out our Father's Day Collection featuring our favorite "Daddy Is a State of Mind" designs. We know you don't have a dad, so embrace your inner Daddy. The collection is only available until midnight then it leaves forever, just like your dad! Episode 26 of Traumatically Speaking, Slave 4 Britney: Queer Awakenings & Coming Out Stories, is dedicated to every person who looked back at their childhood and thought, "...how did I not know?" This week, Lex and Sloan share their own coming out stories alongside one from a Chaos Cousin whose first crush wasn't the boy band everyone else was obsessed with—it was Britney Spears. What started as a childhood celebrity obsession turned into a queer awakening years before she had the language to understand it, and like so many of us, it took years before she finally came out. Lex shares her own coming out story, reflecting on what it was like to embrace her identity and navigate the reactions of the people around her. Then Sloan opens up about a different kind of coming out. She shares what it was like to tell the people in her life that she's polyamorous, the misconceptions that came with it, and why coming out isn't always about your sexuality, sometimes it's about finally living authentically, even when other people don't understand. Together, they talk about the pressure to fit into boxes, the fear of disappointing the people we love, and the freedom that comes from finally choosing yourself instead of performing a version of yourself that makes everyone else comfortable. It's funny. It's vulnerable. It's validating. And if Britney Spears was your first crush... this might explain a few things.
