Some of these topics may be difficult to hear, especially if you've experienced similar things. Please take care of yourself while listening, and remember that it's always okay to pause, step away, or come back when you're ready.

Where does all that anger go when we finally start letting it go? How do we make peace with the things that happened to us? And is it possible to someday find love, compassion, and empathy for the very people who caused us so much pain?

This week's episode of Fancy Coffee Time is a little different, and truthfully, it's a conversation I didn't even realize I needed to have.

Over the last couple of weeks, I've been following Collin Gosselin's story and the release of his book, In the Shadows of Eight. His experiences have hit incredibly close to home for me, bringing up emotions and memories from my own childhood and the things I survived in foster care. And somewhere along the way, I found myself getting so emotionally invested in his story that I didn't realize what it was doing to my own mental health.

Something I've learned in therapy is that what you consume will consume you, and holy shit, was that a lesson I needed to revisit.

For a little while, I genuinely felt like I'd taken ten steps backward in my healing. But the more I've sat with those feelings, the more I've realized that maybe I haven't gone backward at all. Maybe I've just reached a point in my life where I'm finally ready to unpack some of the things I've been carrying around for decades.

I have a lot of anger that I'm still learning how to let go of. And as crazy as it might sound, I hope that someday, when I've worked through all of it, I can find compassion and empathy for the people who hurt me. Not because they deserve my forgiveness or because what happened was okay, but because I deserve the peace that comes with no longer carrying that pain.

I don't have this whole healing thing figured out. Not even close. But I'm learning that healing isn't always about how far we've come. Sometimes it's about finally having the courage to face what we've spent our entire lives trying to survive.

So grab your fancy coffee and come hang out with me. We're talking about childhood trauma, anger, healing, and the messy reality of learning how to move forward without pretending the past never happened.

Because maybe we aren't falling apart. Maybe we're finally ready to put some of those pieces back together.

October 10th was World Mental Health Day, but it also marked an anniversary that will forever hold a special place in my heart. It was the day I married my former husband, Mike. After witnessing his struggles with mental health and reflecting on our journey together, I felt called to share some of the lessons I've learned about love, loss, forgiveness, and healing.

One of the greatest lessons I've learned throughout my own healing journey is that we are not defined by our mistakes or the things we've done to survive. We're allowed to forgive ourselves for the ways we coped when we didn't know any better. We're allowed to take accountability, grow, change, and become the people we've always deserved to be.

If there's one thing I hope you take away from this conversation, it's that you don't have to wait until you've forgiven yourself, figured everything out, or hit rock bottom to begin healing. Maybe your first step is opening a journal, finding a therapist, having an honest conversation with someone you trust, or simply acknowledging that you deserve something better for yourself. Whatever that first step looks like, I hope you'll give yourself permission to take it. Your past doesn't have to determine the rest of your story.

If you're struggling with your mental health, please reach out for support. You don't have to carry everything alone, and you deserve to be heard, understood, and supported. In the United States, you can call or text *988* for free, confidential mental health crisis support, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You don't have to be in crisis to ask for help. *Your healing matters, and so do you.*

So grab your fancy coffee, pull up a chair, and come as you are. We're healing out loud, one conversation at a time.

I'm Desarae Legros, the silly goose behind Cooking Comedy Chaos, and I can't believe I'm finally welcoming you to my table!

In this very first episode, we're getting to know each other beyond the kitchen, the comedy, and the chaos. I'm sharing a little about my journey, the experiences that shaped me, the healing that's changed my life, and why I felt called to create this podcast.

We're talking about finding yourself after years of simply surviving, learning to love every version of yourself, and discovering that it's never too late to create a life you're genuinely excited to live.

I'll also introduce you to our brand new Silly Goose Snail Mail segment, give you a peek into what we've got planned for future episodes, and share the heart behind Fancy Coffee Time.

This is more than a podcast about mental health, physical health, and healing. It's about creating a community where we can have meaningful conversations, celebrate our victories, embrace our imperfections, laugh until we cry, and remind each other that none of us has to have everything figured out.

Welcome to Fancy Coffee Time, mother flockers! I'm so happy you're here.

Let's stay connected!
