Merry Christmas Eve 2024 - Introducing My Adult Lifestyle Blog

Mindful Mizzy

Merry Christmas Eve

Wishing you the most amazing week full of the best memories. I know we have a packed schedule full of family, travel and friends. I can’t wait to blog all about it come the new year. 

I have had a lot of time to self reflect these past few weeks and I am really looking forward to 2025.  After having to take a major step back this year due to my hysterectomy and mental health, I really started to realize and learn so much more about myself. With the help of my therapist I think I have finally found my way.  Or at least on the path to a really happy Mizzy.

As you may or may not know, over time I morphed into a Swingers Lifestyle Influencer. There are pro’s and con’s that come with this. The pro’s are that I love to share my thoughts and experiences in hopes it helps someone through their journey in a more thoughtful and understanding way. The lifestyle over all can be a crazy place and you truly need the education and thought starters while exploring. When you are new at something you don’t know what you don’t know. So my job is to let you know. And I love that. 

In addition, I really had a hard time classifying myself as a swinger all while promoting swingers parties. Initially when I first entered the lifestyle 6.5 years ago, I didn't really know what I was getting into. It took a long time to understand the depths of it all. Now that I have gone through my journey a bit more, I understand that I am not a swinger but live an open lifestyle. Our events are adult themed events. We welcome anyone looking to explore non monogamy in what ever that means to them. We have newbies, veterans, swingers, poly, voyeurs and exhibitionists and so much more. That's the beauty of this lifestyle. There's so many ways to live it. You make your own rules. This shift in mindset has made me feel so much happier. It has opened the door for organic social media content that I really connect with.

At some point in time my podcast, The Mizzy Bender show was created. It was great for a while. It was something new and exciting to learn. I am so proud for teaching myself all there is to know about the process from start to finish. I’m not saying I am a professional by any means but I am proud of the progress I made. Eventually, I stopped loving the podcast and it became more of a chore than anything else. I kept it going because the feedback was always so delightful and I was really helping others navigate the start of their lifestyle journey. The messages and in person conversations are the most heart warming part of all of this. But, through therapy, I learned that I really need to follow my heart and do what I feel is right.  Unfortunately, that means eliminating the podcast going forward. This decision was one that I have struggled with for a very long time. To make things easier for me, the universe really did its job. I’m really pissed about it, but Spotify removed my podcast for copyright issues. After understanding what happened I was even more bothered. I worked so hard to try and get things sorted out, but Spotify does not care one bit. Their customer service is a nightmare and I’m pretty sure it is nonexistent. But as I said… that is the universe for you. That was my true sign that it is time to move on. As I was making this determination, which I knew needed to be finalized by this month as we head into 2025, there was a fraud issue with my credit card which made my bank close it out, sending me a new one. Well, in this transition time, my podcast host was unable to process the annual payment and disabled my account. So I’d say that's a real true sign. Lol.  I have so many mixed emotions about this. It's the end of something so great. And I do feel like I am giving up on something. But I can’t keep it going because I am a people pleaser. It’s time to pivot.

As I think about my thoughts, projects and goals for 2025 I have one major revelation. That is blogging. I absolutely love to write. I am still able to conquer my need and want to educate and guide new lifestylers through all while sharing our personal adventures. In my opinion, its a great mix of content.  If you have topics you would like to read about, please email me. I’d love to take on your questions! MizzyBender@outlook.com

Since my podcasts are no longer available online, I will begin to repost them through my blogs so they are still available to listen to.

I am really excited about this transition. I hope you take this next adventure with me.

Until next time, I will talk to you super soon!

Mizzy

Sending Love and Warm Wishes
