It's a special birthday edition of Therapists Unplugged! This week, therapist and co-host Katie Gerwel turns the mic toward fellow therapist and co-host Emily McCarty to celebrate her birthday and give listeners a chance to get to know the person behind the mic a little better.

From silly icebreakers and random talents to heartfelt reflections on growth and self-compassion, Emily opens up about her mental health journey with humor and heart. Together, Katie and Emily explore the small habits that make a big difference, the truths learned along the way, and the tools that have truly changed the game.

Whether you're here for the laughter, the insights, or a little birthday cheer, this episode is a warm reminder that behind every therapist is a human who is still learning, still growing, and still finding grace in the process.
