Episodes
In this deeply vulnerable episode, I finally open up about the story I’ve carried in my body for decades, the childhood I survived, the trauma I walked through, the pain I kept hidden, and the patterns I’m still healing from today.
This isn’t for pity.This isn’t for attention.This is for connection… and for every person who grew up surviving things they never had the language for.
I share: • What it felt like to be the strong one bef...
In this episode, I’m catching you up on the last few weeks — the heavy, the holy, and the hilarious. I share what it’s been like navigating the second anniversary of my brother’s passing, the emotional hangover of my situationship with Mike, and why I still keep a tiny rubber duck from that relationship glued to my dashboard… not because of him, but because it reminds me of me — the woman who loves hard, shows up, and refuses to le...
Back home in Denver after a week in Chicago, I’m answering your most vulnerable questions while navigating real-life grief, family health, and building the Inspired Warrior Project. In this Q&A, I share what healing taught me that love never could, how I protect my peace without closing my heart, and whether a situationship can truly become a healthy relationship. We talk honesty, boundaries, communication, and the moment my il...
Stranded by flight drama but held by chosen family, I recorded this from a Chicago bedroom with a full heart and a lot of honesty. This week I talk about coordinating a wedding that cracked me open in the best way, the dreams that resurface when you’re grieving a situationship, and the moment I realized I’m actually excited to date again—slowly, intentionally, without shrinking.
We unpack the difference between chasing acceptance an...
In this episode, Kass Gomez opens up about the moment she stopped protecting the man who broke her and finally started protecting herself.
After years of silence, betrayal, and self-blame, she’s reclaiming her voice — not to expose anyone, but to free herself from the weight of secrets she never deserved to carry.
It’s not about revenge. It’s about regulation.
It’s about learning the difference between love and surveillance.
In this raw, unfiltered episode of The Vulnerability Project Podcast, I bring back Letters to Kass—your questions about love, heartbreak, and the truths we ignore when we want someone to change. I share what it was like to find an old 2019 blog post about “The Situationship,” the gut-punch realization that I saw the signs back then, and why closure rarely comes from the other person—it comes from awareness, self-forgiveness, and ri...
When life starts revealing what you didn’t want to see —about people you trusted, loved, or believed in — the only thing left to do is speak your truth.
In this deeply personal episode, Kass opens up about betrayal, loss, and the painful but powerful lessons that come with standing integrity. From the 11-year “situationship” that taught her about emotional trauma to the friend who mirrored the same patterns of deceit, Kass reflects ...
In this episode, I open up about a feeling that’s been sitting in my chest — the ache of letting go of what I thought I had with my situationship, and the uncomfortable truth that it was never what I believed it to be.
While visiting my best friend in Chicago, I found myself reflecting on connection — what it means, how it breaks, and how it heals. And then, out of nowhere, a guy I hadn’t talked to in years slid into my DMs. Old me ...
In this heartfelt episode, Kass dives deep into the world of attachment styles through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS). She shares why attachment isn’t who you are—it’s simply how your nervous system learned to survive love, loss, and connection.
Kass also gets real about the debate on whether dismissive traits can cause emotional harm, why labeling without accountability is dangerous, and how repeating patterns in relatio...
In this bonus episode, I open up about what’s been unfolding behind the scenes—celebrating my birthday, planning retreats, and carving out rare time just for myself. I share my profound experience at a writing workshop and a shamanic journey where I encountered a powerful somatic release with hapé medicine. From vivid dreams to signs from the universe, to the deep conversation I had with my son from prison, this episode is about he...
In this episode, I share what it was really like to walk into that room—nerves, negative self-talk, dancing it out in the car beforehand, and all. You’ll hear how we used body scanning, breathwork, affirmations, and journaling to move through stress responses, and how vibrant touches (like flowers filling the space) made the experience even more healing. The women’s “aha” moments reminded me why I do this work: to help others untan...
In this raw and vulnerable episode of The Vulnerability Project Podcast, Kass Gomez opens up about her very first solo camping trip — and the life-changing realizations that came with it. Armed with a journal, a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and a copy of Attached by Amir Levine and Rachel Heller, Kass reflects on how anxious, avoidant, and secure attachment styles shape the way we love and connect.
From her long-term “Situationship...
After nearly a year away, Kass returns to The Vulnerability Project Podcast with raw honesty, sharing why she’s been gone and the life-altering events that shaped her absence. She opens up about the intense personal, emotional, and spiritual journey she’s been on since her last episode on Halloween, when she declared that “Medusa was stepping out” and fully embraced her Kundalini awakening — even marking it with a symbolic chest ta...

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
