I got boho braids for the first time and unlocked a whole new personality because of it! But what started as a cute, carefree hairstyle quickly turned into a full-blown hair horror story... one that had me genuinely contemplating shaving my entire head… and unexpectedly unraveling my identity as a mixed girl.

In this episode of The Naked Puppet, we dive into the unique grief of having mixed hair - from childhood teasing and chemical straightening to the lifelong feeling of being “too much” or “not enough.” I bring two of my parts on stage to explain why that appointment triggered a full internal team face-off in my brain: the part that wanted to laugh it off… and the part that wanted to disappear.

This episode is storytime, nervous system realness, and a love letter to the messy, complicated journey of learning to wear your texture, and your identity, without apology.

Years ago I told my Youtube friends how I ended my 8-year long relationship, but it wasn't the entire story. For years, I believed that I was the villian in the story... but that's not quite the truth. Not even close.

In this episode of The Naked Puppet, I sit down with one of my own OSDD parts, Housewife Jacy, to unpack what really happened behind closed doors: the subtle emotional manipulation I never recognized, the open-relationship “solution” that blew everything apart, and how dissociation buried the entire memory so deeply that I forgot the truth for almost a decade.

We talk about obligation sex, covert guilt-tripping, crumbling identities, and the wild moment that finally pushed me out the door. And for the first time, I share how this breakup literally created a new part of me... and why discovering that has changed everything.

Plus: our new intermission segment System Spotlight, where Housewife Jacy talks hobbies, tattoos, musical eras, and all the little things she left behind when the relationship ended.

I just got back from a fun and flirty trip to Germany for Oktoberfest! What started as the most sexually liberating night of my life turned into one of the most confusing spirals I’ve ever had. I felt confident, powerful, and finally safe being seen... until I saw the photos of myself the next morning. Suddenly, my brain flipped the script. The memory changed. The confidence vanished.

In this episode of The Naked Puppet, I unpack what really happened at Oktoberfest: how depersonalization hijacked my joy, how trauma can literally rewrite our memories, and what it takes to hold onto empowerment without shame.

Plus: a fun round of PopLight —Would You Rather face-off for these iconic world events.
