Amanda Pt 2 - Daddy Issues, Domestic Violence, and Sexual Trauma

Amanda (@whereisamandaplease) is back for part 2. We discuss our history of long term relationships a bit, covering our issues on “father figures” and how “daddy issues” affected our ability to have healthy relationships when we were younger, domestic violence escalation, how purity culture and the patriarchy in general affect relationships. Amanda discusses cheating, drug use, ending a long term relationship, growing up an only child in a single mother household. I discuss being raised by a narcissist and the guilt from success I feel as a strong woman with previous history of familial abuse and sexual trauma in relationships. We cover substance abuse and prevalence of alcoholism within the drinking culture of the USA, my love of strip clubs and female sexuality within the nightlife industry including bartending culture. We end on how a conservative social structure built around shame and guilt negatively effects public health concerns in low socioeconomic areas and keeps people trapped in cycles of abuse.

Om Podcasten

A late 20's self-proclaimed "relatively hot" woman with a background in biochemistry and epidemiology. The type of person who is so aware of the response to their presence, they personally enjoy mutilating the egos of men at her whim (never unjustly, to be clear). A self-aware "narcissist" (literally any woman very comfortable with prioritizing THEMSELVES in THEIR own life) just trying to creatively express my anxiety whilst also attempting to monetize my voice (unlike that idiotic mermaid) and the voices of those around me to normalize conversation. All under the satirical comedic fall back that "it's a joke!" whenever I go a little too far.
