Series 7: Unlocked Letters – A Journey Through Hurt and Hope

Episode 131 – To My Hope, the White Rabbit’s Relentless Chase

In this episode, we write a letter to something fragile but fierce—hope. The kind that looks like the White Rabbit: always running, always just out of reach, but never fully gone.

To My Hope, the White Rabbit’s Relentless Chase is about those moments when you almost give up, but something—some small spark—keeps you chasing the life you haven’t lived yet.

It’s a love letter to the version of you that keeps going, even when you're exhausted. The part that believes there’s something better, something more, even after all the heartbreak, silence, and shadows.

We explore what it means to run toward healing, even when it’s messy. Even when you're late. Even when you’re scared.

Because sometimes, hope doesn’t wait for you to be ready. It just runs—and asks you to follow.

Welcome to Wonderland Unlocked. Let’s chase the White Rabbit together.

Episode 130 – The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party: When Chaos Meets Creativity

In this episode, we pull up a mismatched chair at the Mad Hatter’s table and pour a cup of truth.

The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party: When Chaos Meets Creativity explores what it means to grow up feeling “too much”—too emotional, too unpredictable, too chaotic—and how that same energy can become the source of our greatest magic.

This is a letter to the misunderstood parts of ourselves: the spiraling thoughts, the impulsive choices, the wild ideas that didn’t always make sense to others but made us feel alive.

We explore how creativity and chaos often come from the same well—and how healing means learning to sip, not drown.

Because sometimes, what others call madness is just misunderstood brilliance—and sometimes the messiest tea party holds the deepest truths.

Welcome to Wonderland Unlocked. The table is set. Let’s begin.

Episode 129 – To the Dormouse Who Slept Through My Pain

In this episode, we open a letter sealed in silence—written to the one who napped through the noise of our heartbreak. To the Dormouse Who Slept Through My Pain is a raw, reflective message to the people who looked the other way when they should’ve looked closer.

When pain filled the room, they stayed asleep. When you reached out, they curled deeper into comfort.

This is a letter for the ones who stayed quiet—too timid, too tired, or too afraid to face your truth. It’s about what it feels like to be ignored in your darkest moments and how that absence becomes its own kind of harm.

But it’s also a letter about waking up—not just them, but you. Reclaiming your voice when theirs was too soft, or too late.

Because even when someone sleeps through your pain… you don’t have to.

Welcome to Wonderland Unlocked. Let’s open this letter together.

Episode 128: To Alice: I Wish I Was You

In this deeply personal episode, I write a letter to Alice—a figure of curiosity, adventure, and endless possibility. Alice's journey through Wonderland is one of self-discovery, embracing the unknown, and navigating the chaos with courage and wonder.

For years, I envied her freedom to explore, to question, and to reinvent herself, while I felt trapped by my own inner turmoil, limitations, and fear.

In this letter, I reflect on the parts of Alice I longed to embody—the resilience, the boundless curiosity, and the ability to stay open to new experiences even in the face of uncertainty.

I explore the tension between wanting to be like her and struggling to accept who I truly am. Through this reflection, I come to understand the unique power of my own journey, how my struggles have shaped me in ways Alice's adventure could never teach.

Join me in this moment of vulnerability as I explore the complex relationship between self-acceptance, admiration, and the journey toward embracing my own version of courage.

Alice may have been the hero of Wonderland, but in this episode, I discover that perhaps I can be the hero of my own story too.

Episode 127: To the Mirror I Feared: A Letter to My Own Reflection

In this heartfelt episode, I write a letter to the reflection I spent years avoiding—the person staring back at me in the mirror. For so long, my own image was a source of discomfort, a reminder of all my flaws, insecurities, and the parts of myself I couldn’t accept.

Through the lens of Alice in Wonderland, I confront the fractured sense of self I’ve carried with me, shaped by past trauma, self-doubt, and the complexities of living with Borderline Personality Disorder.

This episode is about more than just facing the mirror—it's about reconciling with the version of myself I rejected. As I reflect on the deep-seated fear of truly seeing myself, I share the journey of learning to embrace both the light and the shadow within. The letter is a conversation about self-compassion, self-acceptance, and the power of reclaiming my own narrative.

Join me as I rewrite the story of who I am, transforming fear into understanding, and finally embracing the reflection I once dreaded.

This is a letter to the person I was, the person I am, and the person I’m learning to love—just as I am.

Series 7: Unlocked Letters: A Journey Through Hurt and Hope

Episode 126: Dear Red Queen: I Learned Rage from You

In this raw and powerful episode, I pen a letter to the "Red Queen" within—my inner embodiment of anger, fear, and frustration.

Through the lens of Alice in Wonderland, I reflect on how this fierce, unpredictable force became ingrained in my emotional landscape.

From childhood tantrums to the destructive cycle of self-loathing, the Red Queen’s reign is both a symbol and a symptom of deeper trauma, neurodivergence, and Borderline Personality Disorder.

As I explore the roots of my rage, I also confront its influence on my self-worth and relationships. But it’s not just about fury—it’s about understanding, taming, and learning to live with this powerful force. In this episode, I share the journey from feeling consumed by anger to reclaiming my power and compassion.

It's a story of discovering that rage doesn't have to define us; we can learn from it, grow through it, and ultimately find a way to channel it into something constructive.

Join me for an intimate, emotional exploration of healing through the chaos, as I write to the Red Queen, finally telling her that the reign is over—it's time to build a kingdom from the ashes.

Series 6: Not Quite Alice — The Wonderland of Being Given Away

E125: The Hatter’s Diagnosis

“Mad, aren’t you?” In this episode of Wonderland Unlocked, we sit down with the Hatter — or rather, the long line of therapists, teachers, doctors, and well-meaning adults who tried to explain what was “wrong” with us.

Being adopted often means being pathologized. Big emotions? Must be a disorder. Questions about identity? Probably defiance. In The Hatter’s Diagnosis, we untangle the confusion of growing up under clinical scrutiny — where behaviors shaped by loss, trauma, or survival were labeled instead of understood.

This episode explores how adoptees are often handed diagnoses before they’re handed compassion — and what it means to reclaim your story when the labels don’t quite fit.

Series 6: Not Quite Alice — The Wonderland of Being Given Away

E124: The Queen’s Checklist — Good Adoptee Behavior

In this episode, we step into the throne room of expectations — where adoptees are handed invisible scrolls of how to behave, how to feel, and who to be. “Be grateful,” “Don’t ask questions,” “Smile and stay small.” Sound familiar?

Today on Wonderland Unlocked, we open up the Queen’s gilded checklist and take a closer look at the impossible standards many adoptees are expected to meet just to feel safe, loved, or enough. From people-pleasing to performance, this chapter in our Not Quite Alice series explores how being adopted can turn identity into a balancing act — all under the Queen’s watchful eye.

What happens when you start scribbling on the list… or throw it away altogether?
