All Things Unhinged

In this episode, we dive into a wide range of conversations surrounding mental health, relationships, and therapeutic approaches. We discuss weaponized language and behaviors, non-monogamy and relationship dynamics, the ideology and understanding of psychological disorders, and why having a deeper understanding of diagnoses matters when it comes to effective treatment and support. We also explore Internal Family Systems (IFS), introduce a few Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and unpack how these concepts show up in real life. This episode blends education, insight, and honest conversation in a way that's both relatable and thought-provoking.

Unfiltered therapist thoughts + your anonymous confessions… what could go wrong? This bonus episode is honest, a little chaotic, and definitely going to hit somewhere..

What does it really mean to be "strong" and at what cost? In this episode, we unpack the Strong Black Woman schema and the growing conversation around the "soft life," exploring how survival, identity, and systemic pressure shape the way Black women move through the world. This isn't about aesthetics it's about burnout, boundaries and redefining what strength actually looks like.

Connie Macckn is back and we're catching up in the most feral, unfiltered way! From the stress of taxes and dealing with MOHELA to unpacking toxic masculinity and harmful stereotypes like the "crazy Latina" and "angry Black woman," this conversation goes deep while still keeping its edge. We also get into signaling kinks, what they might reveal and wrap it all up with a chaotic round of rapid-fire questions that might tell you a little too much about us. This episode is equal parts honest, uncomfortable, and a little unhinged... in the best way.

In this episode, I'm reintroducing myself to new listeners and catching you up on what life has looked like lately, especially navigating grad school and all the chaos that comes with it. We get into the reality that healing isn't always aesthetic or easy, and how that shows up in both personal growth and clinical work. I also talk about why men don't just need therapy—they deserve it—and the importance of anti-oppressive approaches in mental health. This one is real, reflective, and a reminder that growth can be messy, uncomfortable, and still worth it.

We're catching up on the week, what it's been like seeing clients, and breaking down private practice vs. community mental health. We also get into how your brain may influence your kinks, and yes… why koalas all seem to have chlamydia. Grab your comfort snack and get unhinged.

We're back, baby!

Season two is officially here after a much-needed break, and we're catching up on everything: life updates, stepping into internship, and what it's really been like starting to see clients.

In this episode, we get into the importance of trauma-informed care, what it means to hold space responsibly, and how our experiences shape the way we show up in healing spaces. We're also talking about sexuality, stigma, and the reality that spicy brains (neurodivergence) show up at high rates within the kink community, so let's unpack that.

In this week's episode, we catch up on life updates: starting practicum and stepping into the pre-licensure journey. I share a little about how dissociating into fantasy books has become both a comfort and an escape, and we take a look at what's shifted in the mental health world in 2025. From practicing empathetic communication to understanding how childhood trauma shows up in our adult lives, this episode is about growth, self-reflection, and the messy, beautiful process of healing.

This week's episode dives deep into the intersections of pop culture, politics, and the hidden truths we don't always want to face. I start by unpacking The Handmaid's Tale and how its dystopian themes mirror today's political climate — especially around power, control, and bodily autonomy. We then explore the complexity of sexuality — how arousal, identity, and even "taboo" conversations around homosexuality can carry layers of shame, home, and desire. I also touch on the eerie story of missing children turned into a movie, blurring the line between reality and entertainment. And of course, no episode would be complete without a reminder that therapists are human too — carrying their own trauma while holding space for others. This one is layered, raw, and meant to spark the conversations that matter most.
