Together they explore the societal conditioning that encourages women to compete rather than support each other, the hidden emotional toll of the “selfless woman” archetype, and why true empowerment begins with healing and self-trust.

What begins as a story about design quickly reveals something deeper: how clutter can be unprocessed emotion, how control can become a coping mechanism, and how perfectionism and social media filters distort our sense of self-worth. Sabrina opens up about self-medicating, staying too long in unhealthy relationships, learning to surrender instead of force, and redefining what a “happy life” truly means — not fame or flawless aesthetics, but feeling proud of yourself each day. The episode culminates in a powerful mirror question that reminds us that no matter what we’ve been through, we are worthy — and, in her words, “a f*cking badass.” ----- 00:00 – Meet Sabrina Soto 02:38 – Homeless at 16 05:19 – How a House Can Save You 06:35 – Control as a Coping Mechanism 07:53 – The Psychology of Clutter 10:57 – “Clutter Is Unprocessed Emotion” 13:26 – Surrender vs. Control 24:02 – The Damage of Social Media Filters 27:04 – The Youth Mental Health Crisis 34:39 – “Just Start Again” 37:13 – Don’t Give Up Before Your Miracle 41:01 – Forgiveness & Healing 46:06 – The Mirror Question 47:08 – “You’re a F*cking Badass” ----- Connect with Sabrina:Instagram: Follow Alexis Learn more at Save 50% on any experience with code LAMN50 This is an production

Doctors refuse to intervene when depression is the worst and the psychosis and the intrusive thoughts happen to postpartum women…they don't intervene because their attitude is, this is just normal." - Sarah Daccarett ----- In this episode we discuss...
