Pretty Lonesome with Madeline Argy

the danger of seeing the good in people

we’re back with another advice session from your submissions and this week we talk about toxic relationships, trauma bonds, and the danger of seeing the good in people who consistently hurt you. i get into why bad relationships can feel impossible to leave, why it sometimes feels like the person who hurt you “wins,” and how compassion can slowly turn into self-betrayal if you’re not careful. we also talk about boundaries, self-honor, and the difference between loving someone and sacrificing yourself for them. this one is about protecting your heart without losing your ability to love. love u enjoy Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

discipline and trusting yourself

exciting new announcement this week and life updates that made me think more about discipline and how I want to learn to trust myself again. recently a lot has come up around trying to outrun old versions of myself and realizing that change doesn't always leave your bad habits behind. i talk about living in my head like it’s a courtroom, why overthinking feels like control, and how doing the small things really matter: drinking water, making the bed, keeping small promises, and calling your energy back. this one’s about rebuilding trust with myself in the tiniest ways possible and betting on me in this new season :) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

my betrayal list

presenting: my betrayal list. we also go through your submitted resolutions for 2026 and how they align with mine as well. i talk about the small things that let me down this year, why they stuck with me, and how disappointment builds quietly when you don’t name it. figuring out my ins and outs for 2026 kind of helped me learn where my energy actually belongs. enjoy love u Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

2025 debrief with photos // EP 96

this week i do something a bit different. i go through my camera roll month by month and randomly pick photos from the last year, then explain what was actually happening behind each one. some are funny, some are embarrassing, some are way heavier than they look. it turns into a kind of accidental debrief of 2025, how much i hid, what i avoided talking about, and what all those moments say about shame, alignment, and letting things exist without rewriting them. it’s less of a resolution episode and more of a chance to let you in to the moments I didn't really show you guys but wish I did, while reflecting on them to prepare for this year. enjoy love u!!!!

advice session 4

we're back with another advice session from your submissions and we talk about girl code, betrayal, and what happens when you do something that doesn’t sit right in your body. i get into female friendships, dating your friend’s ex, why shame hits harder when it comes from other women, and how easy it is to spiral into thinking you’re a bad person instead of a human who made a mistake. we also get into jealousy, moral alignment, male validation, and why doing the wrong thing once doesn’t define who you are forever. this one is about compassion, accountability, and learning who you are by actually living. love u enjoy  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
