The Dysregulated Podcast
I live with anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, OCD & BPD — and this podcast shares the hard-fought lessons I’ve learned along the way.
This is lived-experience mental health, told with complete honesty and zero filter, including the vulnerable and significant moments that continue to shape my life today.
Through personal reflections, therapy insights, interviews, nervous system regulation, and real-world struggles, I explore what it means to live with complex mental illness — grounded in psychological science and research.

Rock N Roll Star: Identity Disturbance and BPD
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode we go back in time, to when I was sixteen and in high school. This is when my identity disturbance developed and my persona of the rock n roll star did as well. So much of my presentation today was borne out of this period of my life. A period where I just wanted to fit in. And as you will find out in this episode, not much has changed.
