  Episode 69 - Summer Bodies, Body Image & Self-Worth with Amrit Babbra

  May 21, 20261h 1mS2

  As summer approaches, so does the pressure to have the “perfect summer body.” In this season finale, we’re having an honest conversation about body image, diet culture, self-worth, and the emotional impact of constantly feeling like we need to change ourselves to be accepted. Joined by therapist Amrit, we explore why this time of year can feel especially triggering, how social media and comparison affect our mental health, and healthier ways to think about our bodies beyond appearance alone. We also talk about weight loss, confidence, body neutrality, and how to stop putting life on pause while waiting to feel “good enough.” This episode is a reminder that your worth is not measured by your size, and you deserve joy, connection, and self-compassion exactly as you are. Thank you for being part of season 2 — we’ll see you after the summer break for season 3.

  Episode 68 - Understanding Your Relationship Patterns with Jordan Hunsberger

  May 14, 202656 minS2

  If you’ve ever found yourself thinking “why do I keep ending up in the same kind of relationship?” —this episode is for you. In this conversation, I sit down with Jordan, a couples psychotherapist, to unpack why these patterns happen in the first place. From attachment styles to nervous system familiarity, we explore how our past experiences shape who we’re drawn to—and why unhealthy dynamics can sometimes feel like “chemistry.” Most importantly, we talk about how to start breaking these cycles. What does it actually look like to choose differently? And how can you begin building something that actually feels secure and fulfilling?

  Episode 67 - The Small Signs You’re Actually Healing (Even If It Doesn’t Feel Like It) with Sarah

  May 7, 202632 minS2

  Healing doesn’t always look the way we expect it to. In this episode, I sit down with Sarah to talk about the small, often overlooked signs that you’re actually healing—even if it doesn’t feel like it. Because growth isn’t always loud or obvious… sometimes it’s quiet, uncomfortable, and easy to dismiss. We explore the subtle shifts that signal real change—like pausing before reacting, setting boundaries (even when it feels hard), outgrowing old patterns, and learning to sit with emotions you used to avoid. Remember, just because it doesn’t feel like progress, doesn’t mean it isn’t.

  Episode 66 - The Human Side of Your Therapist with Ashley Mariani

  Apr 30, 20261h 3mS2

  In this episode, we’re having an honest, behind-the-scenes conversation about the realities of this work — beyond what we were taught in grad school. From the pressure to be a “blank slate” to questioning old expectations like no self-disclosure or even having personal photos in your office, we explore how therapists have evolved over time and find their own voice in the room. Ashley and I also talk about the emotional weight of the work — thinking about clients outside of sessions, not always knowing how they’re doing, and navigating the complexity of caring deeply while maintaining boundaries. And for those in private practice, we get into the often-unspoken side of being both a therapist and a business owner — wearing multiple hats, managing a team, and holding the responsibility that comes with it.
