  Hilling Through Unprecedented Times

  Sep 29, 202629 minS2

  How do we keep healing when it feels like the world is unraveling? In this solo episode, Ilyse talks about the collective trauma we're all absorbing through a constant stream of "bite-sized horrors" on our feeds, and how it quietly builds into burnout, numbness, and hopelessness. She explores why our individual and community healing matters more than ever, and offers ways to make space for collective grief, lean into community and rupture and repair, and reconnect with aliveness. We can't self-care our way out of fascism, but tending to ourselves and each other helps break the cycles these systems depend on.

  Episode #3

  Hilling From Grief

  Sep 15, 202632 minS2

  In this episode, Ilyse sits with the grief episode she's tried (and abandoned) to record more than once — because sometimes grief has to soften before you can even find the words for it. She unpacks Mary-Frances O'Connor's kitchen table theory of grief, the neuroscience behind why loss doesn't make sense to the brain, and why we keep reaching for something that isn't there anymore. Drawing from her own years-long grieving process following her divorce, she explores what it means to grieve a relationship, a future, a version of yourself — not just a person who died. You'll hear about grief rituals borrowed from Francis Weller's work, the five gates of grief, ancestral grief passed down through generations, and why the body needs to wail, shake, and move grief through rather than just think its way past it. This episode is an invitation to stop treating grief as a clinical diagnosis and start treating it as the universal, non-linear, deeply human experience it actually is.

  Episode #2

  Hilling From Burnout With Morgan Johnson

  Sep 7, 202643 minS2

  Feeling burned out but not sure why "self-care" isn't fixing it? In this episode, therapist Ilyse Kennedy, LPC-S, LMFT-S, SEP sits down with Morgan Johnson, LPC and author of 8 Keys to Healing, Managing, and Preventing Burnout , to break down what burnout actually is — and why the usual advice often misses the mark. Morgan walks through the three hallmarks of burnout (decreased sense of accomplishment, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization), why helping professionals are especially prone to it, and how it often shows up in the body first — through new migraines, gut issues, vertigo, or chronic tension. She also opens up about her own two experiences with burnout, the resources that helped her recover, and why the fix isn't more self-care but real community and connection. The episode wraps with practical "big breaks and little rests" for people who can't just walk away from the stressor, and why isolation tends to make burnout worse. Whether you're a therapist, a caregiver, a parent, or just running on empty, this episode offers a more honest — and more useful — way to think about burnout.

  Episode #1

  Hilling Through Loneliness

  Sep 1, 202627 minS2

  Struggling with loneliness after a breakup or life change? In this solo episode, therapist Ilyse Kennedy explores the difference between loneliness and aloneness — and how learning to embrace being alone can actually become a source of strength. Ilyse shares her own experience moving into her first home alone, the rituals she built to "romance herself" (dinner reservations for one, tree time, candlelit baths), and what the U.S. Surgeon General's report reveals about the health risks of chronic loneliness. She also breaks down how to know when to lean into alone time versus when to push through discomfort and show up for community. Whether you're newly single, an introvert recharging, or just trying to get more comfortable in your own company, this episode offers real, practical ways to shift from loneliness to aloneness.
