From Shame Spiral to Breakthrough:

What The Thunderbolts, AI, and Tarot Taught Me About Worthiness

In this episode of The Digital Mirror, I walk you through one of the biggest emotional breakthroughs I’ve had in a long time. After a deeply dysregulated PTSD spiral, a surprising scene from the new Thunderbolts movie helped me reframe my experience with powerful new imagery: I am both Bob and Yelena. I am the darkness, and the one who chooses to return to the light.

This episode shares what happened, why it hit me so hard, and how I used my tarot + CBT hybrid spread to climb out of the spiral. You’ll hear the raw truth of my exhaustion, how shame crept in when I had a very human moment as a mom, and how I used both human connection and AI support to shift from survival mode to self-compassion.

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in a loop of “I’m not enough,” or if you’ve been operating from a place of desperation instead of worthiness, this one is for you. I’m not holding back. I talk about trauma, motherhood, religious programming, running a business with PTSD, and the unexpected healing that happens when we stop trying to prove we’re worthy and just let ourselves be held.
