The Science Of The Trip
Welcome back to Traumatic Comedy, the podcast where serious topics meet chaotic conversations. This week we’re taking a trip into the fascinating world of psychedelics, mind-altering substances, and the weird science behind them. From LSD and psilocybin mushrooms to surprising research on the brain, we dive into the facts, myths, and bizarre history surrounding these substances. Of course, because it’s us, we don’t stay on topic for long. Somehow we end up talking about animals that intentionally get high, the strange creatures that seek out intoxicating plants, fungi, and fermented fruit, and why nature might be just as chaotic as humans. Along the way we share hilarious personal stories, random tangents, and the kind of conversations that only happen when four friends have microphones. Whether you’re interested in neuroscience, psychology, fascinating research, or just want to laugh at the ridiculous things humans (and animals) do, this episode has something for you. 👍 If you enjoyed this episode, don’t forget to: * Like the video * Subscribe so you don’t miss new episodes * Leave a comment with the weirdest animal fact you know—or tell us what topic we should cover next! 🩵 Let’s Connect On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/traumatic_comedy?igsh=MWtmcXd1YzNqNmZnOQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr #TraumaticComedy #Psychedelics #Psilocybin #LSD #MagicMushrooms #Neuroscience #Psychology #SciencePodcast #ComedyPodcast #AnimalFacts #NatureIsWild #BrainScience #MindBlown #FunnyPodcast #DarkHumor #InterestingFacts #Research #Podcast #MentalHealth #Consciousness This is a public episode.

The “Money Is Evil” Scam
🎙️ The “Money Is Evil” Scam Is money actually the problem… or is that just what we’ve been told? What if everything you’ve believed about money is backwards? In this episode of Traumatic Comedy, we unpack the biggest lie people repeat without thinking: “money is the root of all evil.” We’re talking first money memories, chaotic broke stories, financial trauma, and why demonizing money might actually keep you stuck. We also get into the darker side—financial abuse in relationships—and how money can be used as control, power, and manipulation. This one is funny, uncomfortable, and will probably make you rethink EVERYTHING about money. 🔥 In This Episode We Talk About: * Why “money is evil” might be a mindset trap * The psychology behind growing up broke * How money beliefs are passed down (and how to break them) * Real, chaotic broke moments that changed us * Why not all wealthy people are corrupt * Financial abuse red flags 🚩 💬 We want to hear from you! : * Do you think money changes people… or reveals them? * Is “money is evil” just an excuse to stay broke? * Can you be rich AND a good person? * What’s your most chaotic broke story? ⚠️ Disclaimer This episode is based on personal experiences and opinions. If something hits a nerve… it might be worth exploring why. 🎧 About Traumatic Comedy 4 girls. Real trauma.

Gratitude or Gaslighting?
Gratitude or Gaslighting? 🤔 This week on Traumatic Comedy, we are asking the question everyone secretly thinks but feels guilty saying out loud… are you actually grateful, or are you just gaslighting yourself into pretending everything is fine?

Podcast Disclaimer: We Are SO Sorry - Allegedly
This podcast is all hypothetical… kind of. Everything said in this episode is based on our own experiences, opinions, feelings, and stories. If something hits a little too close to home, maybe it’s time to look within. 🫠 We are not trying to paint anyone in a bad light, we are just being a voice for those who don’t have one. 🎙️ Nothing is personal unless you make it personal. If you’re offended by something in this episode, ask yourself why. Traumatic Comedy is where four women turn trauma, chaos, motherhood, friendship, bad relationships, work horror stories, childhood wounds, and healing into comedy. 🎭 Everything is hypothetical, and we use fake names so we can still be invited to family dinners 🫶🏻 Our ultimate goal really is to help as many people as we can while making light of hard situations. We’re so happy you are here. 🤩 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/traumatic_comedy?igsh=MWtmcXd1YzNqNmZnOQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Subscribe for more! 💗💗 This is a public episode.

From Broken To Brilliant - Interview With Author Maruis Aldridge
In this powerful episode, we sit down with author and healer Maruis Aldridge to talk about his deeply personal memoir, From Broken to Brilliant. Maruis opens up about surviving childhood trauma, growing up in apartheid-era South Africa, navigating shame, identity, anxiety, and emotional pain, and ultimately finding healing through spirituality, self-discovery, movement, energy work, and learning to trust himself again. Maruis’s story is raw, emotional, honest, and surprisingly funny in places. If you have ever felt broken, disconnected, “too much,” or like you are still carrying things from your past, this episode will remind you that healing is possible — and that you are not alone. From Broken to Brilliant is described as an “unscripted journey to finding wholeness,” following Maruis’s path from trauma and survival to healing, self-acceptance, and spiritual awakening.
