The Ugly Sister

Kendra Jaymes

Growing up with three birth sisters, I was crowned "the ugly sister." Cute, right? For years, I let that label along with a chaotic childhood, domestic abuse, and toxic patterns tell me who I was. Not anymore. Today we take back OUR power. Own your shit girlies and sit with it 🤍

The Ugly Sister with Kendra Jaymes isn't a sob story or a pity party it's the ultimate safe space for the ugly ducklings, the survivors, and anyone who was ever told they were "too much," "not enough," or just plain out of place.

    The Ugly Truh

    Episode Two: **The Ugly Truth** Everyone tells you to "just leave."Nobody tells you what happens after.In this episode of *The Ugly Sister Podcast*, I'm talking about the part of abuse people don't prepare you for: post-separation abuse. The smear campaigns. The threats. The court battles. The manipulation. The attempts to control you long after you've walked away.I'm sharing pieces of my own story, what I wish someone had told me, and why abusers often become the most dangerous when they realize they've lost access to you.But this episode isn't just about surviving. It's about learning to stop giving people the reaction they're desperate for, choosing yourself, and remembering who the hell you were before someone convinced you that you were impossible to love.If you've ever questioned your reality, blamed yourself for your reactions, or wondered if life ever gets peaceful again... this one's for you.Welcome to **The Ugly Truth**.

    The Ugly Back Lash

    Episode 1: The Ugly Backlash Turns out announcing a podcast is enough to make dysfunctional family group chats burst into flames. Before we even shared our stories, the backlash started. Threats. Smear campaigns. Cease and desists. Family members crashing out. Even a teenager getting dragged into adult drama. Apparently silence was the only family rule we were expected to follow. In this episode, Bre and I talk about what happens when the "ugly sister" finally decides she's done protecting everyone else's image at the expense of her own healing. We dive into childhood trauma, narcissistic family dynamics, reactive survival, learning how to exist in healthy relationships after abuse, and why speaking the truth somehow makes you the villain. If your family ever called you "too much," "too sensitive," "crazy," or made you the scapegoat for simply telling the truth... welcome home. Grab your cawfeee, your emotional support vape, or a strong cocktail. This is The Ugly Backlash... and we're just getting started.
