  • Driving 700 miles around Scotland with one leg (ep. 30)
    Nov 15 2024

    Hi friends!

    This episode is about the recent trip i took going round the west coast of scotland. Stopping off in Largs, the Isle of Bute, Glencoe, Fort William and going all around the isle of Skye. I started this episode with a little bit of background information on my accident as before i had my crash Skye was top of my list of places to visit and at points of my recovery i didnt know if it would be possible. I drove on roads that scared me shitless and had a friend join me who helped me with my disability and helped me to feel very accepted in who i am as a whole. More on disability shame and feeling like a burden in two weeks time.

    Hope you enjoy!
    See you in a few weeks,
    Much love 🥰

    Hi friends!

    Today i decided to do a podcast episode talking about my love of poetry, some of my favourite poems, poets and sharing some poems from my own book at the end of the video. I am thinking about writing a second book, so if you would like them both listed on amazon to buy and read, leave a comment down below and it might give me the motivation to format the second book because right now its just in my notes app on my phone.

    Eighteen Years - Madisen Kuhn
    Trauma, Heartbreak and Healing - Becca (thats me)

  • Lets talk mental health medications, with a mental health nurse.. its me, im the nurse (ep.28)
    Oct 18 2024

    Hi friends!
    Being a nurse was something that for a long time felt like my life passion, and part of that was learning about different types of medications, how they worked and the different kind of side effects, because although i was not a prescriber, i did have a duty to give medication to my patients, to know what i was giving them and the side effects that i had to look out for. And although my accident meant that i was only working for two weeks, i did my 2300 hours of training, and for a lot of my recovery could not wait to get back.. but things change.

    It meant that when i started to take medication to help my brain, that i knew what to look out for in myself and that if i was having side effects what to communicate to the doctors etc. I hope you enjoyed me nerding out about some medications and maybe you learned something from it. There will always be times where things come up that i want to use my experience when i WAS a nurse, it was 3 and a half long years of my life and i want to still be able to celebrate that without feeling like it is my responsibility to go back to a system which unfortunately is not for me. Maybe some time in the future, or maybe ill just keep chatting away.

    See you in a few weeks,
    Much love 🥰
