About this listen

Oh, There You Are. If you have come across this Podcast, you are here for a reason. I ask that you please listen as I deliver this message of H.O.P.E. to you - Hang. On. Pain. Ends. I invite you to take this Journey with me, as I share my life stories of Mental Illness, Grief, Laughter, and Much More. This podcast is more like Journal Entries than a traditional "podcast." Some of the episodes will be shorter .. and others will be longer. But no matter what....the most important thing is you hearing the words that I put behind every entry ... which is, Please have HOPE and Stay One More Day ...

This world is a better Place with YOU in it. Hang. On. Pain. Ends.

If you can, please listen to OLDEST to NEWEST ... that's the best way to Truly Understand my Journey - Thank you SO much for listening!!

  • Dear My Soulmate.
    Jan 31 2026

    Hi Guys... now that I have come off of my coffee high ... I was getting ready for bed tonight, and I have been making it a point to journal at least once a day, so as I was journaling, it came over to me that I wanted to say something to the soulmate that I truly feel is heading in my direction ... so I wrote a little something. THEN, I remembered.... an astrology site that I had signed up for weeks ago in the blurry time between my father passing away and almost losing my mother, I know I did not pay any money for it ... but somehow they emailed me a "Dear Alana" letter from my soulmate ... and I must have glanced over it at that time, but tonight as I was journaling, I remembered it, so I turned on my voice note app (which is now my best friend) ... and recorded both letters ... which stirred up more emotion in me than I was expecting. I hope you all are as moved by this episode as I was ... and of course, THANK YOU so much listening! Remember to please pass along the word of H.O.P.E to anyone that needs it! Hang. On. Pain. Ends

  • Online Dating Stories, and Route 80 Road Rage.
    Jan 30 2026

    Well... TRIGGER WARNING - this was recorded while I was FULLY caffeinated up after an amazing breakfast date with my bestie ... so... apologizing in advance!

    While driving on route 80 for the first time in 10 days ... I somehow went down a detour of some really crazy (and unbelievable) bad date stories while dodging huge rocks and bad drivers! This one might be one of my favorites ... when I listen back to some of these, it is almost like it was an out of body experience when these things happened because I CAN'T believe what I am hearing!

    Anyway, I do mention this fellow content creator a few times during this episode ... so I wanted to leave his soical media handle here! He's GREAT! Be sure to look him up .... !

  • Love Bombing Myself through Text Messages.
    Jan 30 2026

    This is the pick-me-up (off the floor) check in that I recorded after that last doozy ... I am probably going to keep it lighter for awhile... I realized the energy I exude when I talk more and more about my struggles ... of course I will still use my experience with Mental Illness as the main theme of my Journey... but I think I am ready to realize, those struggles and obstacles were put into my life for a reason, God knew I would be able to get through them (barely) and I think I have good things ahead, so I will try my hardest to keep my mind there ... I know I will have my moments, my bad days, my set backs. But it is all about how I react, how I manage, and how I have to really trust in God, My Dad, and my Angels ... that they will continue to protect me and guide me to where I am meant to go.... and in the meantime, I am going to continue to text myself ... in the hopes I don't get GHOSTED!
