I noticed this shift when she began talking about the things she loves. Depression is so real, but there are little glitters of hope and the faint igniting of a flame, a tiny spark, that happens when our brain remembers why we love things that I’m really grateful for. And if you don’t feel that right now, don’t worry. You will soon. Rainbow after the rain vibes. The clouds will clear. Love to everyone.
a therapist once shared with me "you don't have to feel good to get going, but you have to get going to feel good - motivation follows action" it used to make me so mad but it is so true!! doing the things I need even when I don't feel good - helps me feel better!! hope this touches the heart of someone in broski nation 💞
That's fair. My problem is I literally cannot do things sometimes. The command will be echoing in my mind, louder and louder for hours, and yet I still cannot do it. I have my good days, but how on earth am I supposed to get through every other day with that kind of advice? What you said is absolutely true--when applicable. The days I CAN do stuff, I always go hard so I can get myself motivated to do even more the next day (hopefully). But for those of us who cannot do things for no reason, we need more than that advice, you know?
That's so true wow. ❤ I get that tho. When I was told I have too much black and white thinking I was offended at first, but then I realized the therapist is just trying to help and that it's not an offense to me or meant to be one, so I shouldn't take it that way. ❤ Hope this helps anyone going thru therapy and dealing with those thought patterns
Girl when you said as humans we are so different yet so similar… I felt that. As a Mexican girlie seeing you appreciate regional Mexican music and talk about it was mind blowing. It’s like my two worlds collided. It made me feel seen in a way. You are literally one of a kind Brittany❤️
Getting finally diagnosed is such a bitter sweet moment, especially when it’s a period related issue and going through doctor after doctor telling you you’re pregnant or constipated and not listening. My pelvic cavity was full of menstrual blood and I finally met a surgeon that took me serious and when she opened me up she had to literally drain the blood out of my cavity. I was so close to getting sepsis, but finally someone actually listened to me!!
I had a similar experience. Women's health is so discounted, undertaught, and underfunded across the board. The last male doctor I had that I suggested a hysterectomy to laughed in my face. He had just admitted it is the only treatment available that would resolve it and said "But we're not doing that" and laughed at me.
i am so glad somebody finally listened and you are okay!!!! i’m also so sorry that no body did listen at first, i’m sure if you took that up with somebody that the “professionals” that did you wrong could be punished so they don’t make that mistake with anybody else and it becomes fatal
i completely get what supreme leader was grappling with by experiencing a piece of culture commercialised for tourists. enjoying the artform while also realising how much of it has been made palatable to consumers, how much soul was converted to spectacle just for you. it’s an odd ‘i’m the problem’ feeling. when i graduated high school in 2019, i travelled to tokyo to celebrate instead of going to schoolies in my city. i tore through the streets of harajuku the moment i could, desperate to see the street fashion i admired my whole life captured in fruits magazine issues. what i found most was people just like me, and stores tailored for people like me; westerners, tourists. it was only when i explored the city on my own had i realised how much of the beating hearts of the subcultures i so admired had been cut out with a scalpel, paved over so consumers could walk up and down their homes and buy trinkets to take home with them. it was such a complex, peculiar feeling, stood there alone in a foreign country at age seventeen, thinking to yourself ‘i did this’. i loved my time in the cities i visited during my couple weeks stay in japan, but pockets of places made me feel guilty for wanting to go at all- made me feel as if my being there forced a performance of culture for my sake.
I don’t have PCOS but I have PMDD, which is also a period-related illness and real talk, I and many, many other women, 100% relate to everything in the first 10 minutes. The nuance of being a woman trying to get a diagnosis, then having it but treatments being so inconvenient and trivial. I was severely depressed since age 12, since my very first period, but I didn’t get a diagnosis until March this year at 20. I will never get the 8 years, my entire teenage life, back that I lost because I was so mentally unwell. And that’s just the beginning, there’s the difficulty of finding the right medication, specifically birth control, and how to cope with this in daily life UGH I could talk about it for ages. Women’s reproductive health is discussed a lot but still not enough, ESPECIALLY when it comes to the hormonal, mental health side. I love being a woman 😎
Endo warrior here: it took me from age 12 to age 27 to get a diagnosis. Still can’t believe no one listened for fifteen years but glad someone finally did.
yea im suspicious that i may have pmdd. the stress and overwhelming activities that you have to endure to get better is...well, stressful and overwhelming. and the fact that you just have to live life differently to be able to fit all the appointments and treatments into your schedule. hate it all. women who dont deal with tthese issues are insanely lucky.
PMDD is such a struggle!! even traditional birth control didn’t work, i finally got an iud which has been very helpful but unfortunately doesn’t help everyone and that FUCKING SUCKS! the health of afab people is such a neglected study and it is so infuriating
girl i’m a spaniard living in nyc and it still takes time to switch back into spanish…give yourself some grace you’ve got the best spanish accent on an american i’ve ever heard. also i would have PAID to watch you at lhardy lmaooo
You’re not alone! Many women deal with PCOS and are having the same thoughts and feels as you! I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 16 so I’ve been dealing with this for 6 years and somehow has just gotten worse over the years. Praying and wishing you the best Britney!
i was diagnosed this past january. one of the toughest things I've dealt with, finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel a year later but it is there and it is bright! wishing every pcos girlies the best
Part of it could be that you are still young and your body is still trying to destroy itself. If you're only 22, hormones are still gonna be a little crazy. Hopefully your PCOS will calm down in the next few years. Wishing you all the best. ♥
You always make me feel like I have an older sister validating me. It feels good to have someone to relate to so I know my feelings aren't a "Unique" experience. If you never want to share personal stuff you owe the audience nothing. Never feel pressured to go further into something if you don't want to. Also GAG city b!!!! Pink Friday 2 on repeat. Love you Broski!
god I LOVE when it genuinely feels like we’re having a conversation & I’m just listening & nodding & validating her every word bc she’s my friend & she deserves validation & I know what it’s like to live life out of fear of disappointing others & she just helped me realize it & I say “wow I’ve never thought of that” & I love her
Literally screaming. Honestly I think more of us need to start screaming about the beauty and serendipity of the human experience. OPEN YOUR MINDS SHEEPLE
how immersed we get in music is so beautiful. i can’t even imagine the world without any type of emotion and dedication that we have towards genres and certain harmonies and melodies. amazing.
Hi, spaniard girl here! Andalusian, matter of fact. the issue with flamenco is that its not the traditional music from Spain as a country, but from Andalucía only, and it's a shame you have only been to Madrid and Barcelona bcs I think you would go CRAZY in Andalucía, especially Málaga (where I live) and Granada are amazing and very enjoyable for a person with so much interest in our culture like you. Lov u girl ❤
That is so fascinating!! I am from the US but this place is not very good for me. One day I realized, well, I love Spanish and I love Spanish cultures from all around the world... why not live in Spain? And just to be sure, I looked up the laws and cost of living and... it's way better than here? I almost went crazy because all my life people only tell me "Don't leave the US, everywhere else is so much worse!" and then I find out there are dozens of countries that are just as good, if not better 😂 Aside from the language, I was thinking of starting learning Spanish dances because I love dance!! Your comment is actually so informative and it is so kind of you to educate the comment section! In a couple of years when I can finally study abroad to write my thesis, I will be in Spain! If we ever cross paths I hope we can say hello!
I got diagnosed with PCOS when I was 15 which was wayyy too young but I confirmed it again when I was 18 and I feel your pain Brit. The period inducing pills were brutal and the extra hair and weight gain are CONSTANT I’m so over it
Hey, Brittany! Flamenco dancer here! We dance many different styles - Bulería, Fandango, Alegrías, Solea, Sevillanas, etc! Each dance has its own emotion that it is trying to convey or it's simply a choreographed party dance. Sometimes, the lyrics to the songs have no meaning and sometimes they have all meaning. Flamenco is a melting pot of culture and history so it is different yet the same wherever you go. So glad to have you discuss it this week!
Hey bestie! A cyster here.. I’ve had pcos since I was 14 and I’m 29 now I totally get you! There’s such a big community out there so don’t ever feel alone ❤
Just wanna say how much I appreciate that the Broski Report comes out on Tuesdays. Every other podcast I listen to releases on Wednesdays, so Fearless Leader Brittany gets to have her moment on the worst day of the week
@@gemgh420 For me, Tuesday is too early in the week to be excited for the weekend, but not quite monday energy. It's just such a mid kind of day. Plus Tuesday before Christmas always feel so anxiety ridden. Because I know I have to last minute shop later this week.
I love Tuesdays. I get to go to university and finally work towards my dreams. The morning classes aren't desirable but I would take a million morning classes to get out of my situation. I'm sorry you don't have good Tuesdays. I hope someday you can find a reason to like Tuesday. Our time is only limited, so we may as well try to love every second of it, you know?
Big fat whitey here who moved abroad from America to China 🙋🏻♀️ it’s so satisfying to overcome the embarrassment of listening and understanding and finally being confident enough to speak to people in your learned language ❤ you can do it!
If you visit Mexico I highly recommend vising Oaxaca, more than any other touristic place in the country. Oaxaca is home to the largest indigenous community population in the country and they have such a rich and amazing culture. The culture there is super rich, food is amazing, and talking with the locals is beautiful. I recommend more Oaxaca if you want to feel the diversity of Mexico. Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey and Cancun are also beautiful, but Oaxaca is more traditional and interesting in my opinion.
as a spanish broski nation member i am SO HAPPY to hear u talk about flamenco like this. so so refreshing u are literally me. i LOVE rosalia and c.tnagana but you NEED to check out Califato 3/4, they make heavily flamenco & andalusian culture insipred genre bent music, i reccomend their album Puerta de La Canne!!!
Be proud of your brain! Every single time I watch one of your videos you blow me away with your outlook and knowledge! You are amazing, Brit. Seriously. (This comes from a 48 year old woman.)
i got diagnosed with pcos at 19 a few years ago and it gave me peace. i felt for so long that my body was just broken and no one could tell me why until the diagnosis. you’ll get through it girl stay strong
Hey girl, I just wanted to say that you are not alone. As someone who was also recently diagnosed with PCOS in the last month, I get it. I am right there with you. Thank you so much for talking about it and being so open about it, it made me feel like I was less alone in this rollercoaster, too. We love and appreciate you!
Brittany talking about how lonely and malnourished she is and that she cant eat healthy meals every day while being sponsored by hello fresh and tinder makes me giggle
yes, and…depression and chronic illness don’t really care what kind of privileges you have, even if you have more than the rest of us. you still have to have the energy and motivation to make the hello fresh even if they’re giving you money and free shit
I physically have to stop myself from watching these as soon as they come out, I need something to look forward to in my week- I’ve made a day this time :)
I would LOVE to see Brittany do something with these scenarios she so quickly comes up with. Like some sorta sketch comedy show dude I would eat that UPPPP. Her full acting out the possum and brain return scenarios would kill me 😭😭
Just wanted to say as a girlie who has been having some major seasonal depression recently it was nice knowing I’m not alone in that feeling. I hope things get better for you Britney and anyone else going through the same 💕
as a person who's gone through the same medical condition treatment and operation i'm so soothed by brittany talking about this. i felt like a failure and hated my body for not functioning right, spent so much money for the treatment, cried so much. thankfully operation is in the past and now i'm learning to live with my body and be attentive to it so to anyone who's going through this, be patient and find somebody to lean to because the mental stability bid farewells like it its job. be happy and healthy!
PCOS bitch here ✋ actually uncanny how much I relate to everything you said. Know you said you don’t want advice, but just know this diagnosis is going to help you figure out what your body needs. And, as you learn more about PCOS, is going to explain so much of what you already go through (ie depression & difficult relationship with food from insulin resistance). Hang in there supreme leader!!!
It blows my mind how relatable you continue to be! I was also just diagnosed with PCOS and this really made me and my thoughts and feelings feel so seen/confirmed. I love you Brittany, dont forget to give yourself love, patience, and grace
this has actually been one of the hardest years of my life, and you have been the highlight of it. i love you so much brittany i hope you and a your uterine lining are doing well now
what i wouldnt give to sit in a room with this woman and be stared down with those piercing blue marbles while she talks about some famous skinny white guy who just sort of looks like he would work at a convenience store
i’m quite literally going through the exact same thing mentally.. DUDE. you are so not alone in this. it’s been helping me to just understand that i have been RUNNING through life since i was 11. how can i beat myself up over being exhausted by the life i’ve been given?? fear of failure is just the shame of believing you’re disappointing people, so please don’t beat yourself up over needing to slow down & take the time YOU need to heal. allow yourself to be selfish, the world is scary rn. i am also!!! adjusting to being off hormonal bc for ten years.,, so hormones are also a huge factor. sending my support & love supreme leader 🫡
i have pcos too brittany!! i got the diagnosis when i was 13 and i understand how hard it is when you find out and trying to change habits to help your symptoms, but with time and patience things do get better! so many women have pcos but its very misunderstood so try not to get scared or sad when thinking about it, ik its hard but pcos doesnt have to run your life and i hope yk your fellow pcos sisters in broski nation are always here to help you supreme leader
Hey Brittany! You mentioned Chile briefly in this episode and I wanted to put you on to some music from Chilean singer/composer Víctor Jara (if you haven’t heard of him already). I feel like you would really dig his music; to me, his songs and his voice are like a warm hug and there was a really long period in my life where the only music I could listen to was his. Here are some (not all) of my faves in no particular order: -El Arado -Juan Sin Tierra -Cuando Voy al Trabajo -Plegaria a un Labrador -El Cigarrito -La Flor Que Anda de Mano en Mano -Las Casitas del Barrio Alto -El Hombre Es un Creador Some other compositions of his I also enjoy include, “Ilha De Sons”, “Cai Cai Vilú”, and “Lo Único Que Tengo”. If you (or anyone else) see this, I hope you give his music a listen!
thank you for appreciating victor jara! i’m from chile and i really appreciate when people not from our country listen to music from chilean composers!
as a fellow pcos girlie i understand the stress! please let us know when you want to talk about it more and we can share our experiences and advice because your feelings are so valid!
@@mushpixiemy advice is to join the PCOS subreddit. You can search any questions or topics. Also if you haven't visited a medical professional please do- I had more than pcos going on and it was dangerous
@@98Grim_ bro i’ve suspected i’ve had sumn wrong since middle school. i didn’t know what it was but the symptoms line up. talked to a gyno bc of this podcast and i do have it. if it weren’t for this i would have never thought to ask.
@@mushpixie I'm so sorry I never saw this until now! first off, i just want to let you know that all of your feelings are completely valid! whether you are feeling disappointment or grief, or even relief and happiness! I felt all of those at the same time when I found out it was PCOS. To realize that all my symptoms were never my fault and my doings was reassurance I needed for so long. But to know that this is how our bodies work and will continue to work, and that if I wasn't born with these symptoms maybe life would've been easier growing up, that absolutely wrecked me. PCOS physical symptoms really affect one's mental state, so just know that you are so strong! Mentally healing from PCOS really helped me learn how to work around having it. Personally, since PCOS usually gets discovered later on in someone's life (adulthood), you learn how to work around it. I'm assuming you have the same symptoms as Brittany which I do too! I personally take the Balance supplements from TheDetoxNow and my periods have slowly started to come back! It helps regulate your estrogen levels! But you have to stay consistent with the supplements :/ I've also noticed my body naturally fitting into clothes that used to be too small on me, so I can safely say they help with some physical symptoms. I currently am not on a big fitness journey, but I can imagine that the supplements plus a healthy lifestyle and diet (mutual friends have told me that Keto has worked for them!) would work terrifically! Other symptoms such as facial hair and hyperpigmentation on the body, I still have to work around by shaving every 2-3 days and studying about body care!
thank you for talking about your struggle with hormonal imbalance. as someone who also struggles with that, it means a lot to hear someone talk about the struggles of it in such a real way, and it makes me feel like it’s okay to feel upset about it 💗
brittany you are such an introspective soul. I love how you see the world but it also reminds me of myself. Please don’t be too hard on yourself. Do the best you can do for you and that’s what others will see value in. You are wonderful, intelligent, self observant, and a compassionate human. And the earth is blessed to have you. Keep your head up, don’t let your crown slip.
I know you have probably already heard this before but as someone who also struggles with getting myself to just go be active or go for a walk or something genuinely tricking your brain into finding it fun makes it so much easier. Get an outfit you love, a water bottle ofrwater backpack you think is cute, some cute walking shoes, listen to a particular podcast when you go or an audio book. Walk in an area you want to explore or see. Doing these things myself has helped so much in making me excited to go bc then once I’m out there I’m like oh yeah I’m doing a physical activity but I feel good and I’m happy.
or you can just choose to do physical activities that dont make you bored and feel bad aka like going to the gym... you dont have to exercise like regular people to move your body. just do physical things you enjoy
PCOS CYSTERS YASSS im actually so sorry you have to go through this too brit, it is actually hell on earth. praying more research is done and we can find better ways to treat it than the current ones because my god they barely help, diet change, birth control pills, metformin, they all give varying results and most just mess up my hormones more and make me feel like garbo.
also a huge part of PCOS is also mental, as in mental health, hormones do what they want and when they are off wack like ours are you are going to experience chemical imbalances that mess with your brain big time, def go to a psych and talk about ADHD, PMDD, and depression they are HUGE in people with PCOS, it's such a journey trying to find what's right but im hoping you can find treatments that make it easier.
The percentage of people who support you, who are trying to continue to better their own mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health, we all support you to do whatever you need love. As long as you can support yourself still, take as much time as you need just like a musician would to ground yourself, inspire yourself, and come back to us when you want to :} you are a positive vibration raiser for the internet and the world / you have already done so much by just existing and being yourself! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜💗
Girlie thanks for sharing so much, I just recently got diagnosed with pcos too and the chin hair was always my biggest insecurity, I’m on a blood pressure medication just to ‘treat’ that symptom. No one prepares you for how hard taking care of your health can really be
i was also recently diagnosed with PCOS and its so life encompassing and literally everything that has been wrong with me over the last 3-4 years all comes back to that. It's nice to have the diagnosis to know i wasnt crazy but also sucks cause there's no cure, only management.
gasp i have pcos, endometriosis, hyperthyroidism, pots, and a bunch of things. so hearing my leader speak about health while i myself am struggling, is honestly super nice because i know im not the only one struggling. thank you supreme leader
@@javiag77 honestly i try to push through. that’s all i can do. i have to retrain my whole nervous system, so i have to force myself to keep going when i work out. i chug so much water, eat the things my body needs, and just try to pace myself. some days its so hard to get out of bed because my body is so achy. i also have bad anxiety too (social along with it), so i totally get having a hard time. i try to cling to people, but because i’m on sick leave in mostly lonely if i don’t see my boyfriend or my five good friends. it honestly is trying to bring myself to the mentality of pushing through every single day. i hope you find more ease in life 🤍
I have PCOS too, it sucks, I'm so sorry that you're going through that. When I was on medication to get my period, not only was I feeling like garbage 24/7 for my own problems, if anybody even showed any sign of a negative emotion near me, I would feel it to my core. It didn' even have to be a real emotion, just the slightest sign of it would do it. I cried once bc I saw my friend tearing up from putting eye drops in his eye. HE TEARED UP BC OF EYE DROPS AND MY STUPID BRAIN MADE ME CRY ABOUT IT
Been self sabotaging, distancing myself from others, and falling into anxiety about the current state of my life ans the future. I can definitely relate to feeling like a failure and the seasonal depression.
I'm from Seville (one of the birthplaces of flamenco) some of the singers I like are Rocío Jurado (who also sings Copla which is a Ballad like Spanish music, but also has great Fandango, Alegrías, Sevillanas and other Flamenco Palos (which is what flamenco styles are called, I particularly like her Bulerías). Obviously Lola Flores is a tremendous and charismatic artist you can't miss (also from Jerez). Other recommendations I have are Camarón de la Isla, La niña de los Peines, Perlita de Huelva, La Perla de Cádiz, Fernanda de Utrera and the Fandangos sung by El Cabrero. ❤
I was diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune condition this year, its 100% an emotional process as much as it is a physical. Random crying is a must haha. Wishing the absolute best for you and your process fearless leader ❤❤
I have several autoimmune conditions and one of the most bothersome is my fibromyalgia, which wasn’t diagnosed formally until I was 27 almost 28. I definitely had a breakdown when a doctor validated what I knew all along but was forced to advocate for myself for years.
As someone who shows all the signs of pcos and has struggled with it for years now, thank you Brittany. I’m in the process of getting a proper diagnosis and to hear you acknowledge something that I struggle with on a daily basis truly made me feel not so alone in this constant battle. I hope you’re able to find the care and medical help that will make things easier, and I love you and will always support you💖
as someone who has severe seasonal depression and is already hitting a new low at the very beginning of winter, i will say it’s so inspiring to see brittany using this podcast as a sort of outlet. the winter is hard for everyone and on top of that she’s diagnosed with PCOS, and I know it had to be hard to sit down in the studio and film a podcast and be funny when you feel so out of place and uninspired. i haven’t been able to do anything i usually do to keep my mind off the shitty shit besides watch my favorite creators, so i thank u brittany for continuing to upload through all the life changes. broski nation can always take a backseat if you need a break for your health. you won’t be letting anyone down, sure we love u and love hearing from u, but we care so much more for YOU than the content you make.
I love that watching this podcast feels like two friends going down a hyperfixation hole together 😂 I LOVED your deep dive on the instruments!! Also I hope you’ve seen a banjoulele because they’re amazing
Girl thank you for talking a little bit about PCOS it literally makes my life so fukn difficult and there is not direct cure. Being socially and medically ostracized because of your uterus malfunctioning SUCKS ASS but it’s so incredibly common !!! Masculinity within women is honestly so beautiful and it’s taken me basically my entire life to love that part of me, because it’s inevitable! Anyways girl, taking care of yourself and your body is so difficult, especially when you’ve been trained to believe you don’t deserve it. listening to my body even if it hurts so bad in many different ways to step out of my comfort zone has completely changed my feelings for my body. PCOS BITCHES UNIIIIITE
I got my PCOS diagnosis in spring 2023, I’ve been in treatment since and my symptoms are SO much better! I was depressed, almost suicidal, due to my hormonal imbalance and loss of bodily autonomy. I am so relieved to have improved bc I thought this was it for me. Wishing you the best, it gets better!
I have PCOS, got diagnosed at 12. I get the diet portion. Sometimes its hard to go out with friends and just live in the moment but the routine will come over time/change. Its not an easy journey but you definitely got this!
This episode makes me so happy. This really resonates with me as I am in the midst of seasonal depression and getting treatment for it with therapy and medication soon. This has made me feel a lot better I love you Brittany.
Im just so fascinated with how alike me and brittany are, because im a pretty quiet, softspoken, sorta serious (how people describe me) but shes so me. Her understanding of how precious and beautiful human cultures are, her endless love and wonder for art in any form, how opinionated and passionate she is, her unapologetic fangirling, i just feel like, she just gets it.
im currently vibing through covid and i knew this episode was gonna be my therapy, but i also just got diagnosed so hearing about Pcos at the start was like a big old hug of im not alone in my problems rn ❤️
I'm so glad you're talking about the disconnect with Spanish and English speakers, because I've been learning Spanish for over a year now and I recently went on a cruise to México. I completely understand your pain going to a foreign country and KNOWING the language (to an extent) but not being able to FULLY converse with locals. However it feels fantastic when you do have actual genuine interactions and conversations in Spanish that you don't fumble. I get it girly-pop
I’ve been on brithcontrol since I was 12 because my period came twice a month extremely heavy and painful and never regulated. I’m now 21. After watching brittany advocating for herself makes me angry at my doctor and wish I could’ve asked more questions. I’m gonna go to the doctor soon now to actually get it addressed
I love the way she talks about music so much. As a guitar player flamenco is one of the styles I always come back to and it was awesome to see you so impassioned talking about it.
Girl as a former fluent Spanish speaker, who has a half Cuban daughter ( but her dad is hasn’t been in the picture since she was born, she’s 10 btw) it’s SO incredibly frustrating for me to still be able to understand Spanish and just not be confident enough to speak it, so I haven’t been able to teach my daughter, I’ve been trying to get her into it in many ways, like the little kid apps and teaching her words to now, it’s just sad and not the same as living with ppl who speak it constantly ( plus when i met him i was living in Miami and he was from Hialeah, hung out in Little Havana ( which I HiGHLY RECOMMEND u visit) you would have so much fun esp Calle Ocho, the art the music, the food (obvs) u just get to immerse urself in another world, without a passport. Love you 💜
I can’t get over the way I always get a Save the Children ad when watching the Broski Report literally going from talking about being a baby opossum and Wall-e dopamine hits to “I saw war” like jfc the whiplash.
Seriously got chills when Brittany was talking about her issues. I have been dealing with the same issues and feelings for so long. I am in Canada and getting help when you are a fat person with menstrual health issues is so hard. So on top of how the ussues effect me ive also been dealing with medical gaslighting and ignorance for 8 years..... anyways just here to say I deeply understand how fragile it makes you feel
one reason i havent been to the doctors for my reproductive issues is because im fat and i know theyll make me lose weight for a treatment. i personally cannot mentally handle that as ive struggled with restrictive eating and body dysmorphia. a girl just want help yk?
Im so glad ,with all the issues your going though, you're getting all the answers to what your problems are. There is like so many horror storys of women never getting doctos to answer or even acknowledge the problems they deal with. I hope answers go to soultions fast !!!
Brittany, as a girl who found out my senior year of high school that my body was simply void of any hormones (barely an exaggeration), I understand the struggle. I was like literally bedridden for months. Having hormone imbalances literally messes with EVERY other process in your body, and it can be so exhausting to take care of yourself in those situations! But reach out for help and do your best to take your medications and take care of yourself, because you will start to see the difference it makes
I love how real you are because this is what humans go through. you say what everyone thinks and it’s refreshing af. Take care of yourself girl take time off if you need❤
I will say as a headphone user I really appreciate that when our fearless leader screams she does it so delicately off the mic so my ears are spared.
God so true
So true I wouldn't have it any other way ❤
True words, fellow citizen
A considerate queen ❤️
Such a considerate supreme leader ❤️
I noticed this shift when she began talking about the things she loves. Depression is so real, but there are little glitters of hope and the faint igniting of a flame, a tiny spark, that happens when our brain remembers why we love things that I’m really grateful for. And if you don’t feel that right now, don’t worry. You will soon. Rainbow after the rain vibes. The clouds will clear. Love to everyone.
the best part of my work week is watching this on company time
Glad we both have the same idea
SAME LMAOO
Currently working as i listen to this too
What’s yalls jobs? Just hoping someone’s doing something more interesting than sitting in a copy room😭😭😭
Steal company time, they don't care if you live or die😩😩😩
WAAAAIT DID THIS EPISODE PASS THE BECHDEL TEST?! WE DID IT!!! WE DID IT!!!
WE ARE SO BREAKING THE CHAINS OF WHITE MEN GIRL
but chris stapleton is a white man!!
Growth and healing are not only possible, but achievable.
@@BroskiReport omg the people's princess responded
chris stapleton is, unfortunately, a man
a therapist once shared with me "you don't have to feel good to get going, but you have to get going to feel good - motivation follows action" it used to make me so mad but it is so true!! doing the things I need even when I don't feel good - helps me feel better!! hope this touches the heart of someone in broski nation 💞
this comment stood out to me, needed to read it so thankyou :) hope you know it didn't go unnoticed
you're so right tbhhhh, that's one of those things that I know to be true but have to scream it at myself to have it register
That's fair. My problem is I literally cannot do things sometimes. The command will be echoing in my mind, louder and louder for hours, and yet I still cannot do it. I have my good days, but how on earth am I supposed to get through every other day with that kind of advice?
What you said is absolutely true--when applicable. The days I CAN do stuff, I always go hard so I can get myself motivated to do even more the next day (hopefully). But for those of us who cannot do things for no reason, we need more than that advice, you know?
That's so true wow. ❤ I get that tho. When I was told I have too much black and white thinking I was offended at first, but then I realized the therapist is just trying to help and that it's not an offense to me or meant to be one, so I shouldn't take it that way. ❤ Hope this helps anyone going thru therapy and dealing with those thought patterns
This is so fucking real tho. I almost never want to go for a walk but it always makes the rest of my day easier to handle.
Girl when you said as humans we are so different yet so similar… I felt that. As a Mexican girlie seeing you appreciate regional Mexican music and talk about it was mind blowing. It’s like my two worlds collided. It made me feel seen in a way. You are literally one of a kind Brittany❤️
🥰🇲🇽 Brittany is invited to the carne asada for sure 🍽️
Getting finally diagnosed is such a bitter sweet moment, especially when it’s a period related issue and going through doctor after doctor telling you you’re pregnant or constipated and not listening. My pelvic cavity was full of menstrual blood and I finally met a surgeon that took me serious and when she opened me up she had to literally drain the blood out of my cavity. I was so close to getting sepsis, but finally someone actually listened to me!!
I had a similar experience. Women's health is so discounted, undertaught, and underfunded across the board. The last male doctor I had that I suggested a hysterectomy to laughed in my face. He had just admitted it is the only treatment available that would resolve it and said "But we're not doing that" and laughed at me.
Good lord fuck this misogynistic medical hellscape.
girl this is insaneeee
What were the symptoms that made u feel sum was off w ur period, I have weird ass periods
i am so glad somebody finally listened and you are okay!!!! i’m also so sorry that no body did listen at first, i’m sure if you took that up with somebody that the “professionals” that did you wrong could be punished so they don’t make that mistake with anybody else and it becomes fatal
i completely get what supreme leader was grappling with by experiencing a piece of culture commercialised for tourists. enjoying the artform while also realising how much of it has been made palatable to consumers, how much soul was converted to spectacle just for you. it’s an odd ‘i’m the problem’ feeling. when i graduated high school in 2019, i travelled to tokyo to celebrate instead of going to schoolies in my city. i tore through the streets of harajuku the moment i could, desperate to see the street fashion i admired my whole life captured in fruits magazine issues. what i found most was people just like me, and stores tailored for people like me; westerners, tourists. it was only when i explored the city on my own had i realised how much of the beating hearts of the subcultures i so admired had been cut out with a scalpel, paved over so consumers could walk up and down their homes and buy trinkets to take home with them. it was such a complex, peculiar feeling, stood there alone in a foreign country at age seventeen, thinking to yourself ‘i did this’. i loved my time in the cities i visited during my couple weeks stay in japan, but pockets of places made me feel guilty for wanting to go at all- made me feel as if my being there forced a performance of culture for my sake.
very well put
my fellow depressed girls with reproductive issues and a fear of disappointing others we have been summoned
I feel so called out rn 🧍
My community 🫡🫥
we are here!! lol some days can be hard and other amazing❤
Literally just got back from the gyno, about to pull up to the psychiatrist
Having pregnancy scare rn and im so glad to find this community lmao
I don’t have PCOS but I have PMDD, which is also a period-related illness and real talk, I and many, many other women, 100% relate to everything in the first 10 minutes. The nuance of being a woman trying to get a diagnosis, then having it but treatments being so inconvenient and trivial. I was severely depressed since age 12, since my very first period, but I didn’t get a diagnosis until March this year at 20. I will never get the 8 years, my entire teenage life, back that I lost because I was so mentally unwell. And that’s just the beginning, there’s the difficulty of finding the right medication, specifically birth control, and how to cope with this in daily life UGH I could talk about it for ages. Women’s reproductive health is discussed a lot but still not enough, ESPECIALLY when it comes to the hormonal, mental health side. I love being a woman 😎
Endo warrior here: it took me from age 12 to age 27 to get a diagnosis. Still can’t believe no one listened for fifteen years but glad someone finally did.
PMDD gang!
yea im suspicious that i may have pmdd. the stress and overwhelming activities that you have to endure to get better is...well, stressful and overwhelming. and the fact that you just have to live life differently to be able to fit all the appointments and treatments into your schedule. hate it all. women who dont deal with tthese issues are insanely lucky.
PCOS here, didn’t get diagnosed until 31!
PMDD is such a struggle!! even traditional birth control didn’t work, i finally got an iud which has been very helpful but unfortunately doesn’t help everyone and that FUCKING SUCKS! the health of afab people is such a neglected study and it is so infuriating
Girl you are so vividly descriptive and I live for it every podcast
You can tell that she writes by the way she speaks
even the noises ahaha she adds her own sound effects
Brittany I just want to tell you congratulations. You didn’t explicitly thirst over a man in this episode!
miracles are possible
I CANT GIRLBOSS WITHOUT MY FUCKING BROSKI CONTENT
RELATABLE
EXACTLY
7:00-8:00 is my daily internal monologue as a nurse who preaches health and self-care. Thank you for being vulnerable.
As a girl who was also recently diagnosed with PCOS you mentioning it really meant a lot to me.
Same! it’s nice to know your not alone and can seek comfort in other people who have the same experience
girl i’m a spaniard living in nyc and it still takes time to switch back into spanish…give yourself some grace you’ve got the best spanish accent on an american i’ve ever heard. also i would have PAID to watch you at lhardy lmaooo
You’re not alone! Many women deal with PCOS and are having the same thoughts and feels as you! I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 16 so I’ve been dealing with this for 6 years and somehow has just gotten worse over the years. Praying and wishing you the best Britney!
i was diagnosed this past january. one of the toughest things I've dealt with, finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel a year later but it is there and it is bright! wishing every pcos girlies the best
pcos sisters!! get that protein and iron in!! 🤞🏼🫶🏽
Part of it could be that you are still young and your body is still trying to destroy itself. If you're only 22, hormones are still gonna be a little crazy. Hopefully your PCOS will calm down in the next few years. Wishing you all the best. ♥
If you want to stop hurting, you’ll go vegan.
You always make me feel like I have an older sister validating me. It feels good to have someone to relate to so I know my feelings aren't a "Unique" experience. If you never want to share personal stuff you owe the audience nothing. Never feel pressured to go further into something if you don't want to. Also GAG city b!!!! Pink Friday 2 on repeat. Love you Broski!
The irony of being sponsored by hello fresh but at the same time complaining about ordering door dash everyday is on point 😂
Meal kits and door dash are not the same at all, you actually eat DoorDash, you order hello fresh and then let all the ingredients rot in the fridge😂
@@beccacameron4713 ...Y'all waste food? Yeesh, not the brag you thought it was lol.
@@nomoretwitterhandles it’s called a joke stay mad
I was thinking the same thing 😭😭
@@nomoretwitterhandlesit’s literally not that deep it’s a comment on a yt vid 😭
god I LOVE when it genuinely feels like we’re having a conversation & I’m just listening & nodding & validating her every word bc she’s my friend & she deserves validation & I know what it’s like to live life out of fear of disappointing others & she just helped me realize it & I say “wow I’ve never thought of that” & I love her
Her screaming every episode about the beauty of the shared human experience through music is my fav
love you Miss Brittany
Literally screaming. Honestly I think more of us need to start screaming about the beauty and serendipity of the human experience. OPEN YOUR MINDS SHEEPLE
how immersed we get in music is so beautiful. i can’t even imagine the world without any type of emotion and dedication that we have towards genres and certain harmonies and melodies. amazing.
Hi, spaniard girl here! Andalusian, matter of fact. the issue with flamenco is that its not the traditional music from Spain as a country, but from Andalucía only, and it's a shame you have only been to Madrid and Barcelona bcs I think you would go CRAZY in Andalucía, especially Málaga (where I live) and Granada are amazing and very enjoyable for a person with so much interest in our culture like you. Lov u girl ❤
was looking for this comment! seeing a show in granada was amazing. easily one of my favorite cities i’ve ever visited
That is so fascinating!! I am from the US but this place is not very good for me. One day I realized, well, I love Spanish and I love Spanish cultures from all around the world... why not live in Spain? And just to be sure, I looked up the laws and cost of living and... it's way better than here? I almost went crazy because all my life people only tell me "Don't leave the US, everywhere else is so much worse!" and then I find out there are dozens of countries that are just as good, if not better 😂
Aside from the language, I was thinking of starting learning Spanish dances because I love dance!! Your comment is actually so informative and it is so kind of you to educate the comment section! In a couple of years when I can finally study abroad to write my thesis, I will be in Spain! If we ever cross paths I hope we can say hello!
se escucha flamenco en todo el pais. Yo naci en euskadi y en mi familia hay una gran cultura del flamenco. Nadie es de otro lugar que no sea Bilbao
I got diagnosed with PCOS when I was 15 which was wayyy too young but I confirmed it again when I was 18 and I feel your pain Brit. The period inducing pills were brutal and the extra hair and weight gain are CONSTANT I’m so over it
Hey, Brittany! Flamenco dancer here! We dance many different styles - Bulería, Fandango, Alegrías, Solea, Sevillanas, etc! Each dance has its own emotion that it is trying to convey or it's simply a choreographed party dance. Sometimes, the lyrics to the songs have no meaning and sometimes they have all meaning. Flamenco is a melting pot of culture and history so it is different yet the same wherever you go. So glad to have you discuss it this week!
I love hearing Brittany talk about things she loves! There’s so much joy and detail she finds in things it’s so wholesome 💞
Time to take a 48 minute 23 second poo break at work ❤
Real
Time for me to skip class for half an hour !!!!
@@Eggofficial09time for me to stay hooome…thankyeewww
Waste that company time girl, you're making our supreme leader proud
Hey bestie! A cyster here.. I’ve had pcos since I was 14 and I’m 29 now I totally get you! There’s such a big community out there so don’t ever feel alone ❤
“i’m no longer doing things for me im doing things so i dont disappoint the people who love me” really hit home tbh
I love how she said “I need to be put in an institute” instead of “institution” 😂😂😂🤣🤣
Just wanna say how much I appreciate that the Broski Report comes out on Tuesdays. Every other podcast I listen to releases on Wednesdays, so Fearless Leader Brittany gets to have her moment on the worst day of the week
I'd love some #discourse on worst day of the week - Thursdays are my nemesis so would love to hear why Tues is your worst!
@@gemgh420 For me, Tuesday is too early in the week to be excited for the weekend, but not quite monday energy. It's just such a mid kind of day. Plus Tuesday before Christmas always feel so anxiety ridden. Because I know I have to last minute shop later this week.
tuesday IS the worst day of the week for sure
tuesdays are the worst point blank period
I love Tuesdays. I get to go to university and finally work towards my dreams. The morning classes aren't desirable but I would take a million morning classes to get out of my situation.
I'm sorry you don't have good Tuesdays. I hope someday you can find a reason to like Tuesday. Our time is only limited, so we may as well try to love every second of it, you know?
Big fat whitey here who moved abroad from America to China 🙋🏻♀️ it’s so satisfying to overcome the embarrassment of listening and understanding and finally being confident enough to speak to people in your learned language ❤ you can do it!
If you visit Mexico I highly recommend vising Oaxaca, more than any other touristic place in the country. Oaxaca is home to the largest indigenous community population in the country and they have such a rich and amazing culture. The culture there is super rich, food is amazing, and talking with the locals is beautiful.
I recommend more Oaxaca if you want to feel the diversity of Mexico. Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey and Cancun are also beautiful, but Oaxaca is more traditional and interesting in my opinion.
I agree! I’m from chihuahua and don’t get me wrong it’s beautiful. But even I crave the more traditional Mexican culture locations
Yes!!! I am a oaxaqueña and also part of broski nation :) so glad someone commented this and she liked the comment :,)
Chiapas is also great and has ruins
Arriba mi Monterrey! Pero si, Oaxaca tiene mucho más cultura mexicana que el norte del país de México en mi opinión
Also Veracruz! Which is home of the son Jarocho you were reading about!
as a spanish broski nation member i am SO HAPPY to hear u talk about flamenco like this. so so refreshing u are literally me. i LOVE rosalia and c.tnagana but you NEED to check out Califato 3/4, they make heavily flamenco & andalusian culture insipred genre bent music, i reccomend their album Puerta de La Canne!!!
Be proud of your brain! Every single time I watch one of your videos you blow me away with your outlook and knowledge! You are amazing, Brit. Seriously. (This comes from a 48 year old woman.)
it always feels like she’s the teacher and we’re the kids in class 😂
"RUclips will come to my house, and snipe me with a weapon" is so funny.
i got diagnosed with pcos at 19 a few years ago and it gave me peace. i felt for so long that my body was just broken and no one could tell me why until the diagnosis. you’ll get through it girl stay strong
Hey girl, I just wanted to say that you are not alone. As someone who was also recently diagnosed with PCOS in the last month, I get it. I am right there with you. Thank you so much for talking about it and being so open about it, it made me feel like I was less alone in this rollercoaster, too. We love and appreciate you!
Brittany talking about how lonely and malnourished she is and that she cant eat healthy meals every day while being sponsored by hello fresh and tinder makes me giggle
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO GETS IT
I didn’t want to be the one…. But I’m glad someone else noticed
my thoughts exactly
yes, and…depression and chronic illness don’t really care what kind of privileges you have, even if you have more than the rest of us. you still have to have the energy and motivation to make the hello fresh even if they’re giving you money and free shit
@@milogallagher-zk3ul it was not that serious but go off babes
I physically have to stop myself from watching these as soon as they come out, I need something to look forward to in my week- I’ve made a day this time :)
I would LOVE to see Brittany do something with these scenarios she so quickly comes up with. Like some sorta sketch comedy show dude I would eat that UPPPP. Her full acting out the possum and brain return scenarios would kill me 😭😭
i agree! or when she was describing the different brains i kept imagining if someone were to do an animation.
Someone should animate scenes out of this episode for sure!!
@@RRebooted
omg i do that every time she's does a funny scenario
I found out I have PCOS this last year and the chin hairs are craaaaazy give us a discount code for laser hair removal girlie 😌💕
No fr though, she needs to get a laser hair remover sponsorship asap! I grow a beard faster than my teenage son 😭
HANDS ARE OF THE WHEEL O’GREAT LEADER BROSKI
Driving 90 in a 20
The way you talk about the music you enjoy is my internal dialogue I speak to myself in my room while I pretend to have a podcast
Just wanted to say as a girlie who has been having some major seasonal depression recently it was nice knowing I’m not alone in that feeling. I hope things get better for you Britney and anyone else going through the same 💕
as a person who's gone through the same medical condition treatment and operation i'm so soothed by brittany talking about this. i felt like a failure and hated my body for not functioning right, spent so much money for the treatment, cried so much. thankfully operation is in the past and now i'm learning to live with my body and be attentive to it
so to anyone who's going through this, be patient and find somebody to lean to because the mental stability bid farewells like it its job. be happy and healthy!
I’ve also been in an “I can’t do anything right” slump this week omg 😭 Hugs to you sweet lady
I’m convinced everyone had a week like this this week lmao
Cried like 3 times and simply had TOO many overthinking spirals
@@cez_is_typing Yes!! Girl I cried this week realizing my shredded cheese went bad LOL, we’re in the thick of it 💀
PCOS bitch here ✋ actually uncanny how much I relate to everything you said. Know you said you don’t want advice, but just know this diagnosis is going to help you figure out what your body needs. And, as you learn more about PCOS, is going to explain so much of what you already go through (ie depression & difficult relationship with food from insulin resistance). Hang in there supreme leader!!!
This always comes out when I’m driving and I love the hands off the wheel comment everyone makes 😂😂
It blows my mind how relatable you continue to be! I was also just diagnosed with PCOS and this really made me and my thoughts and feelings feel so seen/confirmed. I love you Brittany, dont forget to give yourself love, patience, and grace
We all simultaneously spawned in when she said “I’m definitely experiencing some form of seasonal depression”
this has actually been one of the hardest years of my life, and you have been the highlight of it. i love you so much brittany i hope you and a your uterine lining are doing well now
I seriously cannot get over how stunning Brittany's eyes are in this episode
RIGHT! im trying to study rn but i keep getting distracted by her captivating eyes lmaooo
what i wouldnt give to sit in a room with this woman and be stared down with those piercing blue marbles while she talks about some famous skinny white guy who just sort of looks like he would work at a convenience store
i’m quite literally going through the exact same thing mentally.. DUDE. you are so not alone in this. it’s been helping me to just understand that i have been RUNNING through life since i was 11. how can i beat myself up over being exhausted by the life i’ve been given?? fear of failure is just the shame of believing you’re disappointing people, so please don’t beat yourself up over needing to slow down & take the time YOU need to heal. allow yourself to be selfish, the world is scary rn. i am also!!! adjusting to being off hormonal bc for ten years.,, so hormones are also a huge factor. sending my support & love supreme leader 🫡
i have pcos too brittany!! i got the diagnosis when i was 13 and i understand how hard it is when you find out and trying to change habits to help your symptoms, but with time and patience things do get better! so many women have pcos but its very misunderstood so try not to get scared or sad when thinking about it, ik its hard but pcos doesnt have to run your life and i hope yk your fellow pcos sisters in broski nation are always here to help you supreme leader
Hey Brittany! You mentioned Chile briefly in this episode and I wanted to put you on to some music from Chilean singer/composer Víctor Jara (if you haven’t heard of him already). I feel like you would really dig his music; to me, his songs and his voice are like a warm hug and there was a really long period in my life where the only music I could listen to was his. Here are some (not all) of my faves in no particular order:
-El Arado
-Juan Sin Tierra
-Cuando Voy al Trabajo
-Plegaria a un Labrador
-El Cigarrito
-La Flor Que Anda de Mano en Mano
-Las Casitas del Barrio Alto
-El Hombre Es un Creador
Some other compositions of his I also enjoy include, “Ilha De Sons”, “Cai Cai Vilú”, and “Lo Único Que Tengo”. If you (or anyone else) see this, I hope you give his music a listen!
thank you for appreciating victor jara! i’m from chile and i really appreciate when people not from our country listen to music from chilean composers!
as a fellow pcos girlie i understand the stress! please let us know when you want to talk about it more and we can share our experiences and advice because your feelings are so valid!
confirmed i have it thru this podcast… if you have advice🥺👉🏽👈🏽
@@mushpixiemy advice is to join the PCOS subreddit. You can search any questions or topics. Also if you haven't visited a medical professional please do- I had more than pcos going on and it was dangerous
@@mushpixiethis podcast isn’t a diagnosis….what💀
@@98Grim_ bro i’ve suspected i’ve had sumn wrong since middle school. i didn’t know what it was but the symptoms line up. talked to a gyno bc of this podcast and i do have it. if it weren’t for this i would have never thought to ask.
@@mushpixie I'm so sorry I never saw this until now! first off, i just want to let you know that all of your feelings are completely valid! whether you are feeling disappointment or grief, or even relief and happiness! I felt all of those at the same time when I found out it was PCOS. To realize that all my symptoms were never my fault and my doings was reassurance I needed for so long. But to know that this is how our bodies work and will continue to work, and that if I wasn't born with these symptoms maybe life would've been easier growing up, that absolutely wrecked me. PCOS physical symptoms really affect one's mental state, so just know that you are so strong! Mentally healing from PCOS really helped me learn how to work around having it.
Personally, since PCOS usually gets discovered later on in someone's life (adulthood), you learn how to work around it. I'm assuming you have the same symptoms as Brittany which I do too! I personally take the Balance supplements from TheDetoxNow and my periods have slowly started to come back! It helps regulate your estrogen levels! But you have to stay consistent with the supplements :/ I've also noticed my body naturally fitting into clothes that used to be too small on me, so I can safely say they help with some physical symptoms.
I currently am not on a big fitness journey, but I can imagine that the supplements plus a healthy lifestyle and diet (mutual friends have told me that Keto has worked for them!) would work terrifically! Other symptoms such as facial hair and hyperpigmentation on the body, I still have to work around by shaving every 2-3 days and studying about body care!
thank you for talking about your struggle with hormonal imbalance. as someone who also struggles with that, it means a lot to hear someone talk about the struggles of it in such a real way, and it makes me feel like it’s okay to feel upset about it 💗
watching the broski report faded out of my mind has been part of my self care routine
brittany you are such an introspective soul. I love how you see the world but it also reminds me of myself.
Please don’t be too hard on yourself. Do the best you can do for you and that’s what others will see value in.
You are wonderful, intelligent, self observant, and a compassionate human. And the earth is blessed to have you.
Keep your head up, don’t let your crown slip.
crumbs in bed, two hands in a bowl of goldfish, eyes wide open, i'm ready
I know you have probably already heard this before but as someone who also struggles with getting myself to just go be active or go for a walk or something genuinely tricking your brain into finding it fun makes it so much easier. Get an outfit you love, a water bottle ofrwater backpack you think is cute, some cute walking shoes, listen to a particular podcast when you go or an audio book. Walk in an area you want to explore or see. Doing these things myself has helped so much in making me excited to go bc then once I’m out there I’m like oh yeah I’m doing a physical activity but I feel good and I’m happy.
or you can just choose to do physical activities that dont make you bored and feel bad aka like going to the gym... you dont have to exercise like regular people to move your body. just do physical things you enjoy
PCOS CYSTERS YASSS im actually so sorry you have to go through this too brit, it is actually hell on earth. praying more research is done and we can find better ways to treat it than the current ones because my god they barely help, diet change, birth control pills, metformin, they all give varying results and most just mess up my hormones more and make me feel like garbo.
also a huge part of PCOS is also mental, as in mental health, hormones do what they want and when they are off wack like ours are you are going to experience chemical imbalances that mess with your brain big time, def go to a psych and talk about ADHD, PMDD, and depression they are HUGE in people with PCOS, it's such a journey trying to find what's right but im hoping you can find treatments that make it easier.
The percentage of people who support you, who are trying to continue to better their own mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health, we all support you to do whatever you need love. As long as you can support yourself still, take as much time as you need just like a musician would to ground yourself, inspire yourself, and come back to us when you want to :} you are a positive vibration raiser for the internet and the world / you have already done so much by just existing and being yourself! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜💗
PCOS is so relatable bestie keep it up
Girlie thanks for sharing so much, I just recently got diagnosed with pcos too and the chin hair was always my biggest insecurity, I’m on a blood pressure medication just to ‘treat’ that symptom. No one prepares you for how hard taking care of your health can really be
i was also recently diagnosed with PCOS and its so life encompassing and literally everything that has been wrong with me over the last 3-4 years all comes back to that. It's nice to have the diagnosis to know i wasnt crazy but also sucks cause there's no cure, only management.
gasp i have pcos, endometriosis, hyperthyroidism, pots, and a bunch of things. so hearing my leader speak about health while i myself am struggling, is honestly super nice because i know im not the only one struggling. thank you supreme leader
Girl how do you cope.
I am having such a bad time with anxiety and this make me feel she can do it i mustt for the love of god do it haha
@@javiag77 honestly i try to push through. that’s all i can do. i have to retrain my whole nervous system, so i have to force myself to keep going when i work out. i chug so much water, eat the things my body needs, and just try to pace myself. some days its so hard to get out of bed because my body is so achy. i also have bad anxiety too (social along with it), so i totally get having a hard time. i try to cling to people, but because i’m on sick leave in mostly lonely if i don’t see my boyfriend or my five good friends. it honestly is trying to bring myself to the mentality of pushing through every single day. i hope you find more ease in life 🤍
I have PCOS too, it sucks, I'm so sorry that you're going through that. When I was on medication to get my period, not only was I feeling like garbage 24/7 for my own problems, if anybody even showed any sign of a negative emotion near me, I would feel it to my core. It didn' even have to be a real emotion, just the slightest sign of it would do it. I cried once bc I saw my friend tearing up from putting eye drops in his eye. HE TEARED UP BC OF EYE DROPS AND MY STUPID BRAIN MADE ME CRY ABOUT IT
Been self sabotaging, distancing myself from others, and falling into anxiety about the current state of my life ans the future. I can definitely relate to feeling like a failure and the seasonal depression.
I also have PCOS and you're one of my favorite people on the internet and this makes us cysters.
😂😂😂😂 I love this
Brittany talking about how she eats like a baby possum in the dumpster then having a Hello Fresh ad 💀
I'm from Seville (one of the birthplaces of flamenco) some of the singers I like are Rocío Jurado (who also sings Copla which is a Ballad like Spanish music, but also has great Fandango, Alegrías, Sevillanas and other Flamenco Palos (which is what flamenco styles are called, I particularly like her Bulerías). Obviously Lola Flores is a tremendous and charismatic artist you can't miss (also from Jerez). Other recommendations I have are Camarón de la Isla, La niña de los Peines, Perlita de Huelva, La Perla de Cádiz, Fernanda de Utrera and the Fandangos sung by El Cabrero. ❤
I was diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune condition this year, its 100% an emotional process as much as it is a physical. Random crying is a must haha. Wishing the absolute best for you and your process fearless leader ❤❤
I have several autoimmune conditions and one of the most bothersome is my fibromyalgia, which wasn’t diagnosed formally until I was 27 almost 28. I definitely had a breakdown when a doctor validated what I knew all along but was forced to advocate for myself for years.
As someone who shows all the signs of pcos and has struggled with it for years now, thank you Brittany. I’m in the process of getting a proper diagnosis and to hear you acknowledge something that I struggle with on a daily basis truly made me feel not so alone in this constant battle. I hope you’re able to find the care and medical help that will make things easier, and I love you and will always support you💖
my andalusian heart is so hard seeing you so earnestly appreciate artists like montoya ❤
as someone who has severe seasonal depression and is already hitting a new low at the very beginning of winter, i will say it’s so inspiring to see brittany using this podcast as a sort of outlet. the winter is hard for everyone and on top of that she’s diagnosed with PCOS, and I know it had to be hard to sit down in the studio and film a podcast and be funny when you feel so out of place and uninspired. i haven’t been able to do anything i usually do to keep my mind off the shitty shit besides watch my favorite creators, so i thank u brittany for continuing to upload through all the life changes. broski nation can always take a backseat if you need a break for your health. you won’t be letting anyone down, sure we love u and love hearing from u, but we care so much more for YOU than the content you make.
girlie i was diagnosed with PCOS but they were wrong, and I actually had 2 uteruses 💀💀 definitely get an ultrasound if you haven't already
I love that watching this podcast feels like two friends going down a hyperfixation hole together 😂 I LOVED your deep dive on the instruments!! Also I hope you’ve seen a banjoulele because they’re amazing
Brittany, we need a Broski Report of your live reaction to the albums folklore and/or evermore.
Girl thank you for talking a little bit about PCOS it literally makes my life so fukn difficult and there is not direct cure. Being socially and medically ostracized because of your uterus malfunctioning SUCKS ASS but it’s so incredibly common !!! Masculinity within women is honestly so beautiful and it’s taken me basically my entire life to love that part of me, because it’s inevitable! Anyways girl, taking care of yourself and your body is so difficult, especially when you’ve been trained to believe you don’t deserve it. listening to my body even if it hurts so bad in many different ways to step out of my comfort zone has completely changed my feelings for my body. PCOS BITCHES UNIIIIITE
what does masculinity have to do with pcos?????
i believe it's because of hormonal disbalance. i have pcos too and also struggle with thoughts that im "too masculine"@@cremepuffle
I got my PCOS diagnosis in spring 2023, I’ve been in treatment since and my symptoms are SO much better! I was depressed, almost suicidal, due to my hormonal imbalance and loss of bodily autonomy. I am so relieved to have improved bc I thought this was it for me. Wishing you the best, it gets better!
I have PCOS, got diagnosed at 12. I get the diet portion. Sometimes its hard to go out with friends and just live in the moment but the routine will come over time/change. Its not an easy journey but you definitely got this!
brittany talking abt chris stapleton in depth (my favorite artist of all time) has healed something in me
“It feels good to cry, but it’s sad to cry, and then I’m like, why am I crying, and then that makes me cry” … Felt that
i’ve never been a huge podcast girlie but THIS PODCAST IS THE PODCAST.
This episode makes me so happy. This really resonates with me as I am in the midst of seasonal depression and getting treatment for it with therapy and medication soon. This has made me feel a lot better I love you Brittany.
Im just so fascinated with how alike me and brittany are, because im a pretty quiet, softspoken, sorta serious (how people describe me) but shes so me. Her understanding of how precious and beautiful human cultures are, her endless love and wonder for art in any form, how opinionated and passionate she is, her unapologetic fangirling, i just feel like, she just gets it.
im currently vibing through covid and i knew this episode was gonna be my therapy, but i also just got diagnosed so hearing about Pcos at the start was like a big old hug of im not alone in my problems rn ❤️
“vibing through covid”
@@keelinfahy it iss what it iss
I'm so glad you're talking about the disconnect with Spanish and English speakers, because I've been learning Spanish for over a year now and I recently went on a cruise to México. I completely understand your pain going to a foreign country and KNOWING the language (to an extent) but not being able to FULLY converse with locals. However it feels fantastic when you do have actual genuine interactions and conversations in Spanish that you don't fumble. I get it girly-pop
I’ve been on brithcontrol since I was 12 because my period came twice a month extremely heavy and painful and never regulated. I’m now 21. After watching brittany advocating for herself makes me angry at my doctor and wish I could’ve asked more questions. I’m gonna go to the doctor soon now to actually get it addressed
I love the way she talks about music so much. As a guitar player flamenco is one of the styles I always come back to and it was awesome to see you so impassioned talking about it.
Girl as a former fluent Spanish speaker, who has a half Cuban daughter ( but her dad is hasn’t been in the picture since she was born, she’s 10 btw) it’s SO incredibly frustrating for me to still be able to understand Spanish and just not be confident enough to speak it, so I haven’t been able to teach my daughter, I’ve been trying to get her into it in many ways, like the little kid apps and teaching her words to now, it’s just sad and not the same as living with ppl who speak it constantly ( plus when i met him i was living in Miami and he was from Hialeah, hung out in Little Havana ( which I HiGHLY RECOMMEND u visit) you would have so much fun esp Calle Ocho, the art the music, the food (obvs) u just get to immerse urself in another world, without a passport. Love you 💜
I can’t get over the way I always get a Save the Children ad when watching the Broski Report literally going from talking about being a baby opossum and Wall-e dopamine hits to “I saw war” like jfc the whiplash.
I’m living in seasonal darkness Sweden, and all I do right now is sleep and eat unhealthy food 😅 Broski is a light in these dark times ❤
Seriously got chills when Brittany was talking about her issues. I have been dealing with the same issues and feelings for so long. I am in Canada and getting help when you are a fat person with menstrual health issues is so hard. So on top of how the ussues effect me ive also been dealing with medical gaslighting and ignorance for 8 years..... anyways just here to say I deeply understand how fragile it makes you feel
one reason i havent been to the doctors for my reproductive issues is because im fat and i know theyll make me lose weight for a treatment. i personally cannot mentally handle that as ive struggled with restrictive eating and body dysmorphia. a girl just want help yk?
Im so glad ,with all the issues your going though, you're getting all the answers to what your problems are. There is like so many horror storys of women never getting doctos to answer or even acknowledge the problems they deal with. I hope answers go to soultions fast !!!
Brittany, as a girl who found out my senior year of high school that my body was simply void of any hormones (barely an exaggeration), I understand the struggle. I was like literally bedridden for months. Having hormone imbalances literally messes with EVERY other process in your body, and it can be so exhausting to take care of yourself in those situations! But reach out for help and do your best to take your medications and take care of yourself, because you will start to see the difference it makes
I love how real you are because this is what humans go through. you say what everyone thinks and it’s refreshing af. Take care of yourself girl take time off if you need❤
I just got diagnosed w PCOS and watching your last episode I was waiting for this 😭 going through the same shit right now… day 18 of my period 🤓
Please try seed cycling
oh pookie im so sorry!!! boiling cinnamon sticks with rock sugar soothes my painful pcos cramps!!!
