Okay… this episode has been sitting in my damn computer for WAY longer than I hoped for... 😂

I recorded this episode weeks ago, thinking, “Yuup, I’m gonna get this out right away.” LOL. And life said, no you're not.

So here we are. FINALMENTE!

In this episode, we're going to talk about Lindsay Clancy... a mother who was accused of killing her three young children, and the postpartum mental health crisis that became one of the biggest questions surrounding her case. This isn’t just a true crime episode.

We’re going into the rooms nobody wants to talk about...

The room of postpartum depression.
The room of intrusive thoughts.
The room of sleep deprivation.
The room of postpartum psychosis.
The room where a mother can be screaming for help without really knowing how to say, “I am not okay.”

And then there’s the other room…

CONSEQUENCES.

Because understanding mental illness doesn't automatically get rid of the consequences of what happened.

During Lindsay Clancy’s 2026 trial, her defense argued that she was experiencing postpartum psychosis and should not be held criminally responsible. Prosecutors argued that she knew what she was doing and was criminally responsible. The jury ultimately could not reach a unanimous verdict, and the judge declared a mistrial on September 4, 2026.

And because this episode was recorded BEFORE all of those new things, I’ve added an update at the end so you know exactly where this case stands now.

So...grab your tacos, pour whatever you're pouring, and come sit with me in a room that is uncomfortable as Fuu-hell.

Because motherhood isn't always the pretty nursery, matching pajamas, and “best job in the world.” Sometimes it's terrifying.

And sometimes the things happening inside a mother's head are invisible to everyone around her.

This podcast discusses true crime, postpartum mental health, psychosis, suicide, and the deaths of children. Please take care of yourself while listening. And as always: this is not medical advice. Relax. 😘

Every family has a garage kid. Maybe they followed Dad out there. Maybe they knew exactly where everyone disappeared when things got crazy. Or maybe... they grew up and realized they have a garage of their own...

Because apparently, we don't just store Christmas decorations and broken bicycles in there. 😂😂😂😂

So grab your imaginary screwdriver and come hang out with me in the garage.

I'm La Dama del Desmadre... let's go check what's been sitting in those boxes.

Before every memory... there was a front door.

Some of us ran toward it. Some of us hid from it. Some of us waited by it.

In this episode, we're exploring the moments that happened at the front door—and why some of those memories never really leave us.

So... which Front Door Kid were you? Let me know in the comments..

I'm back... and I'm so glad you're here!!

Life pulled me away for a little while, but maybe that was exactly what I needed. Sometimes you have to step away from the window before you realize how much your view has changed.

In this fifth room of Rooms We Survived, we're talking about perspective—the windows we look through, the beliefs we've been taught, and the stories that quietly shape our lives.

Some rooms hold our memories. Some rooms hold our pain. This room? It changes the way we see everything

Because sometimes the world isn't the thing that needs to change...

Sometimes it's the window we've been looking through all along.

Welcome back to the house!

Let's open the window. 🖤

Why did so many of us end up crying in the bathroom growing up? This episode talks about the role of the one who learned to hold everything together for now and fall apart later, alone. The one who became “fine” during the chaos… and emotional only after the day was over.

We talk about delayed emotions, crying quietly, emotional survival, and why some people don’t even realize how overwhelmed they are until they’re finally alone.

And yes… we’re also talking about why the bathroom floor heard absolutely everything..

Was your house the one that looked fine… even when it wasn’t?

This episode breaks down the role of the one who learned how to perform—how to smile, act normal, and keep things looking okay, even though something didn't feel right.. We talk about what happens when appearances matter more than the truth, and how that turns into people pleasing and emotional hiding as an adult, and why being “easy” isn’t always what it seems.

Not judging. Just keeping it real.
