About Juliet- Stagi vs Ramos
Dear Reader- The video above was what could have been a beautiful life for my children and I. We were adapting to our new life (post divorce). We were already broken, the day I left my ex husband. Even though we were divorced,I always thought we would have each other’s best interest at hearts- no matter what. I never thought in a million years my ex husband would do what he did to my children and I. We will never be the same.

The Butterfly Effect
The Butterfly effect: n. (With reference to chaos theory) The phenomenon whereby a minute localized change in a complex system can have large effects elsewhere. I was thinking about past events recently and pondering on the effect those events would have had if I was successful in my own attempt on my life. It’s a morbid thought for sure, but it is something that has plagued me for a very long time. I started to think about how that event, had I been successful, would have impacted my family, friends, and loved ones. They would still be feeling those effects to this day. My children would have grown up without…

The Devil Beside You: Narcissistic Traits vs Narcissism
Recently, I’ve had my share of WTF moments. Truth be told, I feel like I’ve been bathing in them. They flow over me like drops of water. Well, not exactly water, they are more like large gobs of mud, sticking to me. They’re pretty difficult to wash off. My what the fuck moments lately have been a result of my dealings with my narcissistic co-parent. I’ve written and talked about this before, and I thought that my understanding of the issue would be beneficial to my current situation. Don’t underestimate the power of someone whose only goal in life seems to be satisfying their own desire for revenge. It’s tough…

Her Safe Room
This place…I fuckin hate this place. This place feels like one of the group homes (I used to live in when I was a kid) every time my mom kicked me out or beat the shit out of me. Her version of “having no more room in her heart to love me because you’re too hard to love.” That tough of love type of home she would send me to. Rejection. Fuckin rejection. I hate that word. Feeling rejection at such a young age is a feeling I’m forced to walk with every day. Rejection and abandonment.Two things I fear most in life God, how can I be so stupid.…

BrokenGirl’s Guide to Being a Boss Bitch after Heartbreak
We’ve all seen that scene from waiting to exhale where Angela Basset catches her man cheating and sets his car on fire. She walks away like the motherfucking boss all women want to be. Recently, I’ve been talking with a listener from my podcast who is dealing with the aftermath of a breakup. She is a beautiful, intelligent, successful, and inspirational woman and mother. However, she doesn’t see any of this right now. She had been gaslighted into thinking that she was the core of all their problems. She was the psychopathic villain (in his story) that he needed to justify his mistreatment of her. Every issue in the relationship, was…

Podcast 2: Matilda’s Project
In March of 2019, 5 year old Matilda tragically drowned in the Stanislaus River at Knight’s Ferry, CA. Her mother, Marissa, generously agreed to come on the show to tell her side of the story. This is her story, in her words, completely unfiltered. Everyone here at Broken Girl was amazed by the absolute strength of character and composure that Marissa displayed while telling us her story.

Podcast 1: Broken to Badass
Dear Readers- My Stories are through my perspective. My stories are filled with broken pieces, terrible choices, ugly people and the truth. They are also filled with comebacks, peace and grace. All Podcasts episodes will be available soon on all podcasts apps. Podcasts for Apple and Spotify included. I am extremely proud of this project and to be given this opportunity to finally give BrokenGirl a voice. I feel blessed to continue this journey here in this crazy fucked up version we call, “LIFE”.
