Chapter 1

Alanna examines the early experiences that shaped her understanding of love, rejection, and self-worth. Moving through childhood crushes and high school heartbreak, she begins an unflinching investigation into the personal and cultural forces that turn ordinary pain into a label women know all too well.  Part memoir, part investigation, part emotional autopsy, this episode sets the stage for a story that is funny, unsettling, and painfully honest. What makes a woman crazy, and who gets to decide? This is where the story begins. Send me a text! Support the show Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
