  The Body Keeps the Score: Grief, Surgery, and Learning to Live Inside My Body Again

  Jul 14, 202643 minS2

  Content warning: This episode discusses grief, loss of a loved one to overdose, trauma, alcohol use, and body disconnection. Take care of yourself and skip this one if you need to. I'll be here when you're ready! In this episode, I'm getting real about the connection between grief, major surgery, and learning to live inside my body again. Three years before my spinal fusion, I lost my best friend Jake to an overdose. I'm sharing how The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk is helping me finally understand why I felt like a ghost in my own body, why towels became my enemy, and why alcohol was my off-switch for years. From interoception to hypervigilance to the power of body-based healing, this one's equal parts science and soul. If you've ever felt disconnected from yourself after surgery, loss, or just life being a lot, this episode is for you. If this resonates with you, I'd love your help building this twisted community. Subscribe, leave a review, share it with someone who needs to hear it. Every like, every review, every share helps more beautiful people find us. We're stronger together. LetsGoliosis! 💚

  Scoliosis in the Media

  Jul 5, 202632 minS2

  In this episode of Unaligned and Unfiltered , I discusses scoliosis representation in the media and why careless portrayals can be harmful. Inspired by a painful sign seen at Pride and examples from shows like Running Point and The Burroughs , the episode explores how jokes, myths, and one-dimensional depictions reinforce stigma and misunderstanding. I also reflect on the emotional impact of these messages, the importance of self-advocacy, and why people with scoliosis need to tell their own stories. The episode closes with a call for better research, more authentic representation, and more community-led visibility As always thank you so much for the support- if you like this episode and the pod please leave a comment, review or subscribe to the pod all of this helps build our beautiful twisted community !

  Bi Bi Bi

  Jun 25, 202643 min

  I always knew I was different. I just didn't have the words for it... This episode is my first time talking openly about my bisexuality — the sleepover in seventh grade, seeing Tila Tequila on "A Shot at Love" and finally having a word for what I felt, my Aunt Patti Ann outing me to my grandfather , and the long road from shame to pride. Growing up, we weren't taught queer history. We weren't given vocabulary. We weren't shown that bisexuality is fluid and beautiful and AND — not or. So I internalized a lot. I thought there was only one way to "be bi." It took years, therapy, and learning about the people who came before me to understand that my identity isn't a box to fit into. It's a way of seeing the world. This episode is for baby bis who are just starting out. For anyone who's ever felt "too late" to their own identity. And for anyone who needs to hear: you're not behind. You're right on time. In this episode: My first experience with a woman (yes, at a sleepover) The power and danger of having only ONE representation Getting outed before I was ready — and why that matters Why Stonewall, Marsha P. Johnson, and Sylvia Rivera changed everything for me What it means to decenter whiteness within the queer community The speech that every queer person should hear: "Y'all Better Quiet Down" Resources mentioned: The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson (Netflix): https://www.netflix.com/title/80189623 Sylvia Rivera's "Y'all Better Quiet Down" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb-JIOWUw1o Brenda Howard - The Mother of PRIDE: https://www.them.us/story/brenda-howard The Trevor Project: https://give.thetrevorproject.org/ The Good BI Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/thegoodbipodcast/ Smarter in Seconds : https://www.instagram.com/blairimani/?hl=en Happy Pride! 🩷💜💙
