Unpacking Me
Unpacking Me: Unpacking the parts of Trauma no one talks about!
A raw and honest podcast where we dive deep into the experiences that shaped us—the pain, the healing, and everything in between.
Hosted by Nicky and Mernelle, we explore the unspoken struggles of trauma, mental health, and self-discovery, creating a space for real conversations that many shy away from.
We’re here to unpack the baggage we’ve carried, challenge the narratives we’ve been told, and break cycles that no longer serve us. Whether you’re on your own healing journey, seeking connection, or just need a space where vulnerability is welcomed—you belong here.
Join us as we share our personal stories, unpack the past, and navigate the messy yet beautiful process of growth. Let’s do the work, together.

The End of the Year Spiral: The Truth About Failing Behind
As the year comes to a close, so many of us fall into the silent spiral — comparing ourselves, questioning our progress, and feeling like we’ve somehow “failed behind.” In this episode, we get honest about the pressure that builds in the final months of the year and the way trauma can intensify self-criticism, urgency, and shame. We unpack the myths around productivity, the fear of not doing enough, and the emotional weight of reflecting on a year that didn’t go as planned. This is a compassionate reminder that your worth isn’t measured by checklists, timelines, or accomplishments — and you’re not failing just because you’re tired, overwhelmed, or still growing.
