Someone makes an off-handed remark and you bristle. Or they criticize you and you go into full-blown defensive mode before you dissolve into a million pieces. Why does this happen? Why are you so sensitive to some things while others slide off your back? You react when there is some truth in what was said; a truth you don’t want to admit to yourself, let alone have it pointed out by another person. When they call it out you become awash with shame. Shame is a VERY uncomfortable emotion to deal with so instead of feeling it, you deflect, attack, avoid or blame.

Maybe your friend says you can’t be alone, which is why you’re always jumping from one bad relationship to the next. If that’s not true, there would be no reaction. Nothing would be triggered inside of you. But if you strike back and/or want to crawl into a hole… that’s a sign. Shame is talking and it’s time to listen. In this week’s podcast we’re talking about how to deal with criticism and shame. It’s hard to see the unsavory or unlikeable parts of yourself, but acknowledging those parts is the road to self-love, self-acceptance and emotional freedom. When you own your actions and feel the shame, you open the door to healing. No one likes criticism, but it can be an incredibly powerful tool for growth.

WISDOM NUGGET (#wisdomnugget)
Put on your cape and open yourself to all sorts of criticism. Own what’s yours and let it flow through you. Remember you have your magic cape!

𝑯𝑶𝑹𝑹𝑶𝑹 𝑺𝑯𝑶𝑾 #49 MYSTERY KID

upon writing this, it had been 3 weeks

~same fights, same diagnose 
same band-aids with undying hope
we never really stopped the bleeding

check your breath, feel my pulse
we'll always choose for bitter or worse
cause now the symptoms seem a part of life

and you never asked me questions, to map out my emotions
isn't that right? 
and when i would share my pain, you'd say that i only complain
isn't that right? 
no, it's not right. 

and the more that i think of it
in fact, we were making each other sick
healing began when i quit
and i gave you all there was to give
but like you said, love is not the fix
guess we're better off like this
i hope you get better
(cause it wasn't right, no, it's not right)

a fever you can't sweat out is what we used to sing out loud
you would never put your fun at risk
i know you loved me but
your actions didn't show it off
i was not high on your bucket list

on the couch i'm crying
next to me you started napping
isn't that right? 
and though my nose was bleeding
you just tell me to keep breathing
isn't that right? 
no, it's not right. 

and the more that i think of it
in fact, we were making each other sick
healing began when i quit
and i gave you all there was to give
but like you said, love is not the fix
guess we're better off like this

i hope you get better

Better (Off) [wip vocals]

Anxiety

pls dont avoid me

hi <3 this is a song i wrote about suffering for love and wondering if it is, after all, worth it. can you guess i still don't have an answer? hope you like this one!

Losing Me

snap back quick
get into it

kerosene oil pour a bit
and i like how the flame jump
i told you not to wait up

interstate speed, how i like to leave
and i let them question the key to me
“how do you keep company?”
well i thought i was easy to read

be so seen, and i recoil in it
you catch me staring at the gas pump
told you not to show up
now watch how i leave, how i split

interstate speed, how i like to leave
and i let them question the key to me
“how’s it feel to be free?”
well i thought i was too easy to read

the flashback thick
i can’t admit

kerosene oil pour a bit
(and i like how the flame jump)
strike the match head, now the shit’s lit
(i told you not to wait up)
well i thought i was easy to read
(the flame is the true key to me)

interstate speed, how i  tend to leave
before they stick their knives in me
“how do you keep any company?”
well i thought i was easy to read
i was too easy to read

Do you crave connection but keep everyone at arm's length? You might be what Tracy calls an "accidental asshole."

You're not trying to be a jerk. You built that wall as a kid to survive. But now it's blocking the very thing you want most.

You date with one foot in, one foot out. You need drama to feel anything. When someone actually wants to love you? Boring. Or terrifying.

Stop waiting for someone who won't trigger you. That person doesn't exist. The work is dealing with the discomfort of letting someone in.

In this episode, Tracy explores:
* Why you need tension to feel attraction
* How the "perfect person" fantasy keeps you unavailable
* Why you get pissed when you actually get attached
* Why you contact exes months later
* How to feel without the protective facade

"Emotionally available people do not seek out unavailability." ~ Tracy Crossley


#816: The Truth About The Accidental A$$hole

Are you exhausted from forcing everything to happen? From pushing through goals that leave you feeling empty once you reach them?

Most avoidants live like they're perpetually on fire—reacting, controlling, forcing outcomes because "easy" feels dangerous. But here's the thing: all that forcing keeps you from the very flow state that would actually get you where you want to go.

In this episode, Tracy explores:
* Why ease feels dangerous when you're avoidant
* The difference between forcing and allowing
* How perfectionism keeps you stuck in empty cycles
* Sitting with discomfort instead of reacting
* Recognizing when you're escaping versus flowing

"When you're forcing, you're coming from a state of lack. You can't force a healthy relationship. You can't force anything meaningful. But we keep trying because we're afraid to let go of the false building we've created that everyone can admire." ~ Tracy Crossley


#617: How To Stay In The Flow As An Avoidant

thinking if i did right while i write this song
do i really see fine, is my vision flawed
doubting if i played my moves or if stalled
now i cant call, anxiety. mask on

my vision is blurry
i was such in a hurry
that i called out for help
to a person that couldnt
and wouldnt at all
not because its their fault
but cuz all their traumas created them from
the ground up
now im in the honda
elements in body rocking like thunda
ponder why i tried it at all
wishing for a last date near the pond

Avoidant detachment

We are from the Banksy school of bios.....

hi 🌹
i write songs that make you feel less alone ❤️

A lot of us live in our head, disconnected from our feelings and intuition. This podcast touches on releasing insecure attachment, accepting your authentic self and getting “unstuck” by connecting to how you FEEL instead of how you THINK. I’ve been there, and discuss sensitive subjects using my own experiences with a lot of laughs and even more empathy… because we’re all flawed humans.

i started sharing my songs in 2016 - i've been writing and composing a lot longer, ever since i got my keyboard in 2004. upgraded my keyboard in 2021
