Couch Therapy Podcast

Y’all… ya girl is turning 30! 🥹🎉

I honestly can’t believe I’m saying that. This milestone has made me pause and reflect on everything God has taught me through the highs, the heartbreaks, the prayers, the waiting seasons, the laughter, and the growth.

In this episode, I’m sharing 30 lessons I learned before turning 30—from faith and friendships to boundaries, purpose, healing, work, relationships, and becoming the woman God is calling me to be. Some lessons came gently, while others I had to learn the hard way. But every single one helped shape who I am today.

Whether you’re turning 18, 25, 30, 45, or 70 this year, I truly believe there’s something in this conversation for you. Wisdom doesn’t have an age limit.

After you listen, I’d love to hear from you! What’s one lesson you’ve learned before your current age? Share it in the comments or send me a message. Your lesson might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.

Grab your favorite drink, get comfortable, and let’s talk🩷

In this episode, I break down Netflix’s The Crash, the documentary surrounding the 2022 case of Mackenzie Shirilla and the deaths of Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan. I discuss why so many people believed from the beginning that this wasn’t an accident, the toxic dynamics between Dom and Mackenzie, the role her parents may have played through enabling and lack of accountability, and the emotional devastation experienced by the victims’ families. I also explore the psychology behind emotional manipulation, performative emotion, attachment issues, and what happens when untreated emotional instability collides with control, obsession, and rage.

In this episode of Couch Therapy, I review the new Michael Jackson film through a clinical and cultural lens.

I explore the impact of childhood trauma, Michael’s complex relationship with his father and mother, and the emotional dynamics within the Jackson family—including his relationship with his brothers and his decision to leave the group.

We also unpack the public scrutiny he faced, the allegations, and how fame, identity, and isolation intersect.

This episode invites listeners to move beyond headlines and sit with the complexity of who Michael Jackson was—holding space for both his humanity and the conversations that surround his legacy.

In this episode of Couch Therapy, I break down why licensure in the mental health field is essential—not optional. From ethical responsibility to clinical competence, I’m unpacking what it really means to be qualified to support others’ mental health, and the risks that come with unlicensed or misrepresented providers.

I also talk about the impact of misinformation in the age of social media and how to discern credible mental health support from harmful advice.

If you’re looking for culturally competent care, here are trusted Black mental health resources to get you started:

* Therapy for Black Girls

* Therapy for Black Men

* Inclusive Therapists

* Black Emotional and Mental Health Collective (BEAM)

Your healing deserves qualified care—and I want you to feel confident in who you trust with it.

In this episode, Sigourney breaks down Blue Therapy beyond the drama, exploring the real relationship patterns underneath. Through the lens of attachment theory and DBT, she unpacks themes like trust, emotional regulation, communication breakdowns, and misaligned values. This episode invites you to reflect on your own dating patterns and consider whether you’re choosing from intention—or familiarity.

In this episode, I’m breaking down Blink Twice—a psychological thriller that’s as unsettling as it is thought-provoking.

From character analysis to deeper themes of power, control, and intuition, we explore what the film reveals about human behavior—and how those same dynamics show up in real life.

We also unpack the eerie parallels to real-world situations involving wealth, secrecy, and influence—and why trusting your instincts is more important than ever.

This isn’t just a movie review… it’s a conversation about awareness, power, and survival.

Walking into your blessed season sounds beautiful… until you actually get there.

In this episode, we’re talking about how to recognize when you’ve stepped into answered prayers—and how to stay grounded, present, and faithful while you’re in it.

From building confidence in where God has placed you, to basking in His faithfulness, to breaking free from anxiety and self-sabotage… this conversation will help you carry your blessing well.

If you’ve ever prayed for a season you’re now living in—this one is for you.

In this episode, I break down Netflix’s Unknown Number: The High School Catfish and why it left me shook. I talk about the disturbing behavior of Lauryn’s mother, the trauma and shock Lauryn experienced, the father’s role in the family dynamics, and Netflix’s framing of the mom’s ‘side.’ I also dive into the psychology behind control, Munchausen tendencies, and the lasting impact on the daughter. This one is heavy, y’all, but it’s worth the conversation about boundaries, abuse, and healing. Tune in and sit with me on the couch. 

In this episode, I’m reflecting on two documentaries I recently watched — one on Charlie Sheen and one on Eddie Murphy — and how differently each man chose to tell his story. Both were enjoyable, but the contrast was striking. Charlie’s documentary felt raw and vulnerable, offering an honest look at the emotional cost of fame, substance misuse, and how it impacted his life, family, and career. Eddie’s felt more guarded and polished, focused on legacy rather than inner struggle. Through a therapist’s lens, I explore what these differences reveal about coping, protection, and the many ways people survive success. This episode is less about judgment and more about understanding what we choose to show — and why.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the British Vogue article asking whether people are embarrassed by their relationships. I share my thoughts on why posting your partner feels so loaded, how social media shapes our idea of love, and why vulnerability gets mistaken for embarrassment. I also talk about staying grounded in who you are — whether you’re single, partnered, or somewhere in between. Tune in and let’s talk about it on the couch. 🛋️💗
