In this episode of the Celeste The Therapist Podcast, Celeste reconnects with a familiar voice, Jermaine Morris, a coach and consultant who specializes in self-awareness without judgment.

Jermaine shares his approach to understanding human behavior by focusing on how we operate in the world rather than labeling actions as good or bad. Together, Celeste and Jermaine explore the importance of self-awareness, the impact of judgment on mental health, and how shame can quietly keep people stuck.

They also discuss how the mental health system can sometimes unintentionally make individuals feel defective, emphasizing instead the importance of recognizing effort—especially during difficult seasons. This thoughtful conversation invites listeners to approach personal growth with greater compassion, curiosity, and grace.
