In April 2019, I was asked by an old friend of mine to come onto her podcast called Pickles and Vodka.

Even though I don’t like pickles, I immediately accepted. Her podcast is kick-ass.

Here’s the official intro, as seen on picklesandvodkapodcast.com:

Sometimes life just sucks, and that’s ok. Pickles and Vodka is an unfiltered mental health podcast dedicated to talking about the things nobody wants to talk about. Join the conversation every other Monday!

Yep. Count me in.

Christina and I have a unique history. We’ve known each other since age (12? 13?) thanks to a blogging website specifically meant for homeschooled kids.

Yes, you read that right.

The podcast is almost an hour long and WHEW…do we talk about some pretty heavy stuff.

  • Trauma
  • Loss
  • Being raised in sheltered, restrictive environments
  • Using creativity as our only outlet
  • How our emotions manifested as toxic habits
  • Growing through pain and darkness
  • How we found our true selves in the end

This episode of Pickles and Vodka does include some profanity and dialogue about intense themes, so don your headphones if you’re in a sensitive environment!

This was the first podcast I’ve been on and I had SO. MUCH. FUN. I was so excited to finally catch up with Christina properly and process what we’ve been through together.
