Pretty Lonesome with Madeline Argy

(Video podcast available on Spotify & YouTube) Welcome back to Pretty Lonesome! While Madeline is away this week, she has hand selected one of her favorites from the archives to keep you company (don’t worry she’ll be back next week!).  This week, Madeline discusses how to recognize when friends are not meant for you, and subsequently….how to cut them off. While Madeline does not believe in ghosting people, she does think that if you are in a situation that is taking too much away from you and proving to be unfulfilling, you need to step away. Madeline admits to going on blocking sprees, removing toxic friends from her life and feeling like everything was over at the time. However, what she found later in life, was that removing these people opened new doors of happiness and opportunity for her.  Madeline also highlights the importance of what it means to be a friend. She believes that friends play an important role in providing emotional support and shares a story of a time that she was extremely grateful for her friends sticking by her and providing her support even when she was in the wrong.

(Video podcast available on Spotify & YouTube) This week on Pretty Lonesome, Madeline talks about her ex best friend. She believes ex besties can be harder to get over than ex relationships, and discusses how hard it can be to forgive someone who you truly trusted. In her discussion of forgiveness, Madeline admits that forgiveness isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. She feels that forgiveness should only serve the person who is giving it, not the person who is receiving it. While she has been in both positions, she admits that she would never encourage anyone to rush themselves into forgiving another person. After all, Madeline believes that forgiving too quickly can cause more hurt in the long run. Finally, Madeline shares her belief in manifestation and offers advice for those looking to find their own voice. She reveals that she often used to go on “hot girl walks”, saying manifestations out loud to herself while visualizing cutting physical ties with another person. Madeline is convinced that this method worked wonders with her ex and ex bestie. Join Madeline on Pretty Lonesome for a conversation on relationships, toxicity, forgiveness, manifestation, and finding your voice.

(Video podcast available on Spotify & YouTube) For the second episode of Pretty Lonesome, join Madeline as she gets cozy and vulnerable in her car. She opens up about her recent ADHD diagnosis after deciding to seek help. She admits that there have been signs pointing to this disorder in the early stages of her life, but it wasn’t until she sat down to record her first episode of her podcast that she realized how much her attention deficit issues were taking over her life. She remembers experiencing a lack of motivation in school, falling behind on her work, and being unable to commit to deadlines. Madeline has since decided to take control of her life and not let these past difficulties define her. As a first step in her healing journey, she’s no longer rotting and taking the easy way out - but forcing herself to be around people despite her general distaste for company.   Follow and connect with all things @PrettyLonesome across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
