Series 7: Unlocked Letters: A Journey Through Hurt and Hope
Episode 126: Dear Red Queen: I Learned Rage from You
In this raw and powerful episode, I pen a letter to the "Red Queen" within—my inner embodiment of anger, fear, and frustration.
Through the lens of Alice in Wonderland, I reflect on how this fierce, unpredictable force became ingrained in my emotional landscape.
From childhood tantrums to the destructive cycle of self-loathing, the Red Queen’s reign is both a symbol and a symptom of deeper trauma, neurodivergence, and Borderline Personality Disorder.
As I explore the roots of my rage, I also confront its influence on my self-worth and relationships. But it’s not just about fury—it’s about understanding, taming, and learning to live with this powerful force. In this episode, I share the journey from feeling consumed by anger to reclaiming my power and compassion.
It's a story of discovering that rage doesn't have to define us; we can learn from it, grow through it, and ultimately find a way to channel it into something constructive.
Join me for an intimate, emotional exploration of healing through the chaos, as I write to the Red Queen, finally telling her that the reign is over—it's time to build a kingdom from the ashes.
*********************************************************
🗝️✨ I was never supposed to tell this story. But I am.For years, I lived inside someone else’s version of my life — wrapped in secrets, silences, and bedtime stories that left too much out.
Now I’m writing the truth. Unlocked is my autobiography about adoption, anxiety, family fractures, and the journey of reclaiming my voice.
I’m raising funds to professionally edit, design, print, and share this book with people who need to know they’re not alone.
If you’ve ever been called too sensitive, too dramatic, too much — this book is for you.And if you believe in the power of truth, I’d be so grateful if you could help me bring it into the world.
