All Things Unhinged

What do perfectionism and kink have in common? More than you might think! In this episode of All Things Unhinged, we unpack how society glorifies perfectionism while judging what it doesn't understand about kink. We're talking nervous system dysregulation, social expectations, shame, and who gets to decide what's "normal." Get ready for an unfiltered conversation that challenges the rules we've been taught to follow.

This week on All Things Unhinged, we're talking about the intensity of crisis work, finding the right therapist, and how grief can resurface throughout our lives. We're also diving into why therapists are taking political stances and how mental health, social justice, and advocacy intersect. From the realities of healing to the systems that shape our well-being, we're unpacking the uncomfortable truths, asking bigger questions, and having the honest conversations that matter.

This week on All Things Unhinged, we're catching up after a weekend getaway and talking about the things we appreciate WAY more in our 30s from slower mornings and good food to peace, boundaries, and knowing when to go home. Then we get a little more serious for Domestic Violence Awareness Month, talking about why awareness matters, the realities of abuse, and resources available for anyone who may need support.

And because this is All Things Unhinged, we're ending with something a little more… interesting: the psychology of praise kinks. Why does being told "good job" hit differently for some people? What makes praise feel intimate, validating, or even sexy? And why does "good girl" have approximately 700% more power than it should?

A little life update, a little mental health, a little social awareness, and a little kink psychology. Basically… a very All Things Unhinged episode.

What do psychopaths, sociopaths, and foot fetishes have in common? Apparently, this episode.

We're unpacking the psychology behind psychopathy and sociopathy, how these traits may develop, what they actually look like, and why the internet gets these terms so wrong. Then we're taking a hard left into kink and exploring the psychology of foot fetishes, where they may come from, and why having a fetish doesn't automatically mean something is wrong with you. It's psychology, sexuality, misinformation and a healthy dose of unhinged curiosity because apparently, this is what we're talking about now.

This week on All Things Unhinged, we're covering a little bit of everything that has been living rent-free in my brain lately. I'm sharing what I've been watching and reading, my thoughts and takeaways from the Lindsey Clancy case, and a deeper conversation about what narcissism actually looks like in real life, especially in romantic relationships, and why being a narcissist isn't automatically the same thing as having Narcissistic Personality Disorder. And because we can't be serious for the entire episode, we're ending with a little astrology. I'm breaking down my Big Three Gemini Sun, Cancer Moon, Gemini Rising, and seeing just how much of my personality my birth chart is willing to expose.

Basically: books, TV, true crime, mental health, relationships, narcissism, astrology and a healthy dose of unhinged commentary.

Come hang out.

Pull up a chair because the tea is HOT. In this bonus episode, we're getting personal, spilling some tea, sharing a few confessions, and talking about the things we probably should've kept to ourselves. No therapist voice, no filter just honest conversations, questionable decisions and a little bit of chaos. Consider this your invitation to sit down, mind your business and drink the tea with us...

We're catching up after a much-needed vacation and talking about what life has been like stepping into my new therapist era. But this episode goes deeper, because therapy doesn't happen in a vacuum. We're talking about why acknowledging oppressive systems, power, privilege and the realities of our clients' lives is an essential part of ethical, trauma-informed therapy. Mental health is personal, but it's also political.

In Episode 97, we're sitting in the gray area the space between mental health, accountability, compassion, and consequence. We get into personality traits vs. coping mechanisms and being annoyed vs. being triggered. We also discuss Hayden Panetierre's legacy from a mental-health perspective and a deeper look at women's mental health. Plus, listener writings that remind us we're never as alone in our struggles as we think.
