All Things Unhinged

In Episode 96, we're talking about endings, new beginnings, and everything in between. I reflect on wrapping up my internship, lessons from working with clients, navigating tough seasons of life and what's new lately. Then we dive into the Lindsay Clancy case and explore postpartum psychosis, mental illness, accountability and the complicated questions surrounding her trial, all from a mental-health perspective. It's personal, clinical, complicated, and, as always, a little unhinged.

In this episode, I'm talking about what coping with depression has looked like lately, the things keeping me grounded, my current reading and watch recommendations, my thoughts on The Odyssey, and a mental health deep dive into the differences between Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and schizophrenia.

We're back after a couple weeks away, and there's a lot to catch up on.

Grab your drink, this one's a little therapeutic, a little chaotic and completely unhinged.

This week on All Things Unhinged, we're covering a little bit of everything, from the personal to the therapeutic. I'm sharing how I've been navigating depression while balancing life, work, and studying for the National Counselor Examination (NCE). We also explore how to better understand and regulate our nervous systems, and discuss why anti-oppressive therapy is more than a buzzword, it's an essential framework for ethical mental health care. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, working toward a goal or trying to make sense of the world around you, this episode is a reminder that healing isn't just personal.. it's relational, systemic and deeply human.

Episode 90 is a conversation about humanity. This week, we discuss Pride Month, gender-affirming care, grief, Black maternal health, and the realities of navigating systems that don't always serve everyone equally. From honoring lives lost to advocating for lives still being lived, this episode explores what it means to show up for one another, hold space for difficult conversations, and continue choosing hope in the face of hard truths.

In this bonus episode, we're unpacking the rise of weaponized language online and how therapy terms are often misused in everyday conversations. From "setting boundaries" turning into emotional avoidance to the normalization of cut-off culture, we're getting honest about the difference between protection, accountability, and punishment. We're also diving into internet diagnosing, self-awareness vs. self-labeling, and how social media has changed the way people understand mental health, relationships, and conflict.

Episode 89 is here! In this episode, I'm catching you up on what's new in my life lately, the highs and stress of studying for the National Counselor Exam, and diving into the connection between emotions and where they live in the body. We're talking anxiety, tension, trauma responses, and how our bodies often speak before our minds do. I'm also getting a little more personal and answering the question: what is dating me actually like? 👀 From emotional depth to communication, ambition, and softness, we're unpacking it all.

This episode feels like a mix of real life updates, mental health conversations, and late-night vulnerable thoughts with friends. Grab your favorite drink and come hang out with me.
