Episode 4: Bad Medicine

The Real Horror of Erasing Yourself to Belong

Hey y’all, welcome back to Booze, Books & Boundaries, the podcast where we sip something good, spill what’s real, and protect our peace… because minding your business matters.

This week, we’re pouring up something bitter before it’s better, a spooky-season cocktail called Bad Medicine, and diving into The Jackal by Erin E. Adams, a story that exposes one of the deepest horrors Black women know all too well: the slow disappearance that happens when you learn to erase yourself just to belong.

We’ll talk about:

🍸 The story behind Bad Medicine, and why healing doesn’t always taste sweet.

💬 Living with anxiety, grief, and decision fatigue in uncertain times.

📚 The real horror inside The Jackal: assimilation, identity, and the cost of invisibility.

💌 A “Pour Your Heart Out” letter that reminds us silence protects privilege, not peace.

🧘🏾‍♀️ And a grounding Welcome to the Woosah moment to help you breathe again before you face the world.

Because in a moment where silence feels like safety, this is the time we have to speak the loudest.

Our silence won’t save us… but our stories just might.
