So I read that CNN report.

It’s been all over my feeds for days, and I haven’t said anything because I haven’t known what to say. I still don’t. But saying nothing is not an option.

TRIGGER WARNING: if you don’t know what I’m talking about, there was a website discovered that had 62 million hits in February, where men were apparently helping, encouraging, and teaching each other how to drug their wives and partners into unconsciousness, s*xually assault them, and film it for their own disgusting viewing pleasure, and for each other’s.

And before anyone starts with the technicalities, I do not give a single f**k whether that was 62 million men or 62 million hits.

That is not the point.

The point is, there is a site that, as far as I know, is still up, hosting more than 20,000 videos of unconscious women being assaulted, mostly by husbands, boyfriends, and partners. They call it “sleep content”. I call it what the actual f**k.

In their own homes, by men they lived with and trusted.

I am f**king disgusted.

I feel sick for the women involved. For the women whose reality has just split open.

For the women now looking at the man beside them and wondering whether trust is as safe as they thought it was.

And I feel for women in general, because this kind of story does not just stay “out there”.

It lands here.
In our bodies, our homes, our relationships, our nervous systems.

I’ve seen women saying, well, my man would never. Maybe they’re right. Maybe he wouldn’t.

Cool.

Still not the f**king point.

How many women thought exactly that, right up until they found out otherwise?

So no, “not all men” is not useful here. And no, “my man would never” is not helpful either.

The fact that this happened to even one woman should be enough to horrify all of us.

I don’t have a neat conclusion.

I just know I am shocked, disgusted, and deeply, deeply sad.

And to the men reading this, I don’t need your reassurance.

I need your standards.

I need to know that you call it the f**k out when your fellow men are cruel, coercive, joking, minimising.

“I would never” is easy.

What you do when another man would is the part I’m interested in.

If one slightly wrong vibe can have you quietly losing your whole mind… this is for you.

Not because you’re bad at dating, bad at poly, bad at kink, bad at freedom, or somehow disqualified from having the kind of love, s*x, and relationships you actually want.

But because when your nervous system gets lit up, it is very easy to turn one weird text, one off-feeling conversation, or one tiny moment of wtf into a full blown internal meltdown.

And no, “just communicate more” is not enough when you’re already halfway into the spiral.

You need tools.
You need language.
You need to understand what the f**k is actually happening, so you can stop gaslighting yourself, stop making your needs evidence against you, and stop turning uncertainty into an identity crisis.

That is exactly why I created The Spiral Stabilizer.

It starts tomorrow, there are 2 spots left, and this round is FREE. Next time, it won’t be.

So if you’re ready to feel less hijacked, less chaotic, and a whole lot more grounded and self-trusting…

drop a big fat F**K YES in the comments and I’ll send you the link. 🖤

I used to think staying silent, overanalysing everything, and getting progressively weirder was somehow hotter than just asking for reassurance like a functioning adult.

It wasn’t though. It was unsupported panic with good marketing.

And I know I’m not the only one who has done this.

A lot of people would rather interrogate the vibe, consult the group chat, decode the punctuation, and quietly lose their minds than just admit they need a little grounding, a little clarity, or a little reassurance.

Because somewhere along the line, we learned that having needs means there’s something wrong with us.

Too much.
Too needy.
Too clingy.
Too exposed.
Too whatever.

But needing reassurance is not weakness.

Sometimes it is exactly the thing that helps you stop spiralling long enough to come back to yourself.

That is exactly why I created The Spiral Stabilizer…my FREE 4-week mini-course to help you stop making your needs evidence against you, calm the internal chaos, and learn how to ask for what actually helps.

So if you are done with the self-abandoning version of yourself and you’re ready for more steadiness, more self-trust, and way less weirdness…

🔥🔥🔥 in the comments and I’ll send you the details. 🖤

A lot of people think being self-aware means analysing every feeling until one of them confesses.

It doesn’t.

Because a feeling can be real without being accurate.
It can be loud without being true.
It can be familiar without being relevant.

And if you don’t know how to tell the difference, every weird little WTF starts feeling like a full-scale emergency.

That’s how people end up trying to regulate their way out of a real problem…
or torching something important over a moment that needed a cuddle and a snack.

Not because they’re stupid or emotional, and definitely not because they’re bad at relationships.

Because nobody taught them how to read what’s actually happening when their system gets fired up.

That is exactly why I created The Spiral Stabilizer - my FREE 4-week mini-course to help you stop getting hijacked by every weird feeling, calm the internal chaos, and become more grounded, more discerning, and more self-trusting in love, s*x, and relationships.

So if you’re done turning every WTF into a full internal emergency and you’re ready for more clarity, more steadiness, and a whole lot less self-gaslighting, drop a big fat F**K YES in the comments and I’ll send you the details. 🖤

Apparently if you’re kinky, poly, slutty, sovereign, and s*xually liberated enough, you’re supposed to become immune to being affected by anything.

No jealousy.
No insecurity.
No “wait…what the actual f**k?”
No reassurance needs.
No moments where your body has Opinions.

Adorable.
Also…wildly untrue.

Because being outside the mainstream does not magically remove your humanity. It just means you’re doing relationships, s*x, love, lust, and freedom on purpose instead of by default.

And that still comes with feelings.
Attachment.

Edges.
Fear.
Desire.
Soft spots.
The occasional internal crisis.

That does not make you bad at freedom.

Secure people are not the ones who never trip up.

They’re the ones who know how to notice it, name it, work with it, and stop making it mean they are fundamentally f**ked.

That is the work.

And if you’re done confusing emotional shutdown with liberation, that is exactly why I created The Spiral Stabilizer.

It’s my FREE 4-week mini-course to help you have more freedom, more pleasure, and more truth… with less internal carnage.

If that sounds like your kind of thing, drop a big fat F**K YES in the comments and I’ll send you the details. 🖤

No, you are not bad at relationships.

You might just be very, very good at pretending you’re fine while your insides are doing gold-medal laps around panic stadium.

That’s the trap, isn’t it?

Trying to be less needy.
Less affected.
Less emotional.
Less visibly human.

Meanwhile you’re overthinking the tone, reading between lines that may or may not exist, avoiding reassurance because you “shouldn’t need it,” and quietly calling yourself too much for having a completely normal and very human.

That strategy? It’s bu****it of the highest order.

The problem is not that you feel deeply.
The problem is that nobody taught you what to do when those feelings hit hard.

So instead, you panic.
Or shut down.
Or over-function.
Or grasp for reassurance while trying to look chill.

Exhausting.

That is exactly why I created The Spiral Stabilizer…my FREE 4-week mini-course for people who are done being hijacked by overthinking, jealousy spikes, reassurance spirals, shutdown, and all the “what the actual f**k is happening here?” energy.

If this sounds like your flavour of chaos, drop a big fat F**K YES in the comments and I’ll send you the details 🖤

If your brain can turn one weird text into a full criminal investigation, this is for you.

Not because you’re broken.
Not because you’re bad at relationships.
And not because you need to become some perfectly healed, ultra-evolved little attachment fairy before you’re allowed to be loved.

It’s because your nervous system has a pattern, and when that pattern gets going, suddenly everything looks significant.

The punctuation.
The tone.
The delay.
The vibe.
The thing they didn’t say.
The thing they did say.
The completely f**king derranged story your brain built out of all of it.

Exhausting.

That is exactly why I created The Spiral Stabilizer - my FREE 4-week mini-course for people who are done being hijacked by overthinking, jealousy spikes, reassurance spirals, shutdown, over-functioning, and all the “what the actual f**k is happening here?” energy.

We’re not aiming for perfection.
We’re aiming for calmer.
Clearer.
Less internally feral.

If this sounds like your brand of chaos, drop a big fat F**K YES in the comments and I’ll send you the details. 🖤

You are not having a breakthrough. You are having a full-body f**king stress response and calling it intuition.

There is a difference.

When your nervous system is lit up, everything starts looking important.

Every delay.
Every tone shift.
Every weird little wobble.

So now you’re replaying the conversation, zooming in on punctuation, building a whole internal court case… and wondering why you feel like s**t.

This is why “just communicate better” is such useless advice for people who are already halfway down the spiral.

Because first?

You need to get off the platform. Then you can work out what’s actually true, what’s your stuff, what’s a real problem, and what needs to happen next.

That is exactly why I created The Spiral Stabiliser…my FREE 4-week mini-course for people who are exhausted by the overthinking, the activation, the reassurance spiral, and the constant “what the f**k is happening here?” energy.

You don’t spiral because you’re “too much.”

You spiral because something in you is trying to get safe and it doesn’t know how, so it grabs whatever it can.

Which includes…

Overthinking.
Replaying conversations.
Reading into tone shifts.
Trying to solve something that hasn’t even fully happened yet.

And then…you turn on yourself for it.

Call yourself needy.
Emotional.
Too intense.

When really?

You’re just unpractised at staying with yourself when things feel uncertain.

And that’s the thing to learn:

How to be in the middle of the activation without making it mean something about who you are.

How to steady yourself without shutting yourself down.

How to tell the difference between
intuition and a nervous system doing laps.

If you’re tired of going into your head
and making it worse…

I made a free mini-course for all of this.

There’s a point where “doing the work” quietly turns into self-abandonment.
And yes, it looks responsible, mature, regulated…but honestly?

It doesn’t really help you feel any better.

You just get better at tolerating things that don’t feel right.

That’s the trap.

Because regulation is meant to support your clarity…not replace it.

And when you start using it to override yourself?

You stay longer than you should.
You explain things away.
You shrink your needs just enough to keep everything “working.”

Meanwhile your body is like…yeah nah.

This is where you get stuck.

Not because you’re incapable….because no one ever showed you how to tell the difference between something to soothe
and something to seriously look at.

So!

I’ve put together a free 4-week mini course to help you actually stabilise the spiral and understand what’s happening in real time — not just think about it afterwards.

If you’re done going in circles…drop a f**k yes in the comments and I’ll send you the details.

Jealousy is not proof you’re bad at this.
And it definitely is not proof that you need to fix your entire life and personality.

Most of the time, jealousy is not the real problem.

It’s a flare. A signal.

A piece of information telling you something in you got activated.

Maybe it’s abandonment.
Maybe it’s the fear of ending up without the care you need and deserve.
Maybe it’s the part of you that keeps tolerating things you shouldn’t.
Maybe it’s an old pattern showing up again and again and again and again.

The feeling itself is not the issue.

The part that wrecks people is what happens next.

You get in your head.
It magnifies everything.
You start analysing every tiny shift.
You feel panic, resentment, shame, confusion.

And suddenly one wobble turns into “oh my god, what the f**k is happening?”

That’s the spiral. That’s the bit I care about helping people with.

Because you do not need to become less emotional, less needy, less attached, or less human.

You need to know what’s happening in your system before it drags you all over the place.

That’s exactly why I created The Spiral Stabilizer - my free mini-course for people who are done making every wobble mean something is deeply wrong.

If that’s you, drop some 🔥 in the comments and I’ll send you the details 🖤
