This week on My Therapist Said, Stef reflects on traditions, expectations, and what happens when you finally stop doing things just because you’re “supposed to.”

She talks about why the holidays can feel heavy, how traditions can quietly turn into obligations, and why choosing yourself doesn’t mean you’re cold, selfish, or wrong — it just means you’re honest. There’s vulnerability, humor, grief, boundary-setting, and the very real relief that comes with opting out of what no longer fits.

Happy holidays! (Even if it’s complicated).

This week on My Therapist Said, Stef spirals (lightly), laughs (a lot), and breaks down everything from why New York reality TV is doomed by people who’ve seen too much… to why men should not be designing buttons, packaging, or literally anything. We talk boredom as a biological threat, adaptability as a double-edged sword, reality TV chaos, community, grief, and why the right kind of “lore” can keep your life interesting without blowing it up.

A chaotic, airy, very Stef episode... equal parts unhinged observations and straight-up human truth.

This week on My Therapist Said, Stef breaks down why insurance companies are unwell, why car dealerships are giving “we don’t respect women,” and how yoga can be just as much for the lore as it is relaxing. A slightly unhinged yet still full-of-care, very Stef episode.

Welcome back to My Therapist Said! This week, Stef unpacks a sick-week spiral, a sensory-deprivation meltdown, and why she thinks the DOE cutting loan access for social workers is a massive system failure. We talk pay, privilege, representation, community, and the new FOE hoodies, the $98 statement piece that doesn’t shrink itself to make anyone comfortable. If the price upsets you... let it.

Burned out but chit-chattin'!

This episode, Stef talks about taking a week off from therapy work (because admin and insurance disrespect are insane), the emotional labor of small talk at beauty appointments, messy thoughts on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and mental health on TV, and her hot take on “enabling” in addiction based on her work with people who have addiction and those who have been formerly incarcerated. Your "Bubsdate" is a chaotic side quest about hiding from Bubs’ dog school pickup. Tune in!

PS: Fresh Out of Empathy hoodies drop 12/01.

Welcome back to My Therapist Said! In this episode, Stef recaps her first-ever rage-room adventure after tax chaos sent her spiraling, why breaking a windshield with a crowbar actually helped, and her ongoing war with people who leave during Shavasana. We also dig into therapist burnout, the importance of community, and the lore behind that viral yoga video. And of course... Bubs’ nightly tuck-in routine.

Stef is back with a Selling Sunset recap full of chaos—leather fireplaces, $30K shrubs, and men who “don’t eat vegetables”—before diving into something real: positive self-talk and how we speak to and about ourselves and how that can make or break your healing journey.

Stef kicks off Season 2 with a chaotic Hinge date, therapist burnout, and a clear take on manipulation and mental health. Truth is, everyone can manipulate and it’s a choice to use it. Stop trying to “teach” toxic people; your power is setting boundaries and walking away. Being single isn’t a problem—it’s self-respect.

HAPPY SEASON TWO!

Stef is back with the forgotten September episode — and she’s starting strong with Netflix's Unknown Number, a doc that hit way too close to home. She opens up about her own real-life stalking story and the way society still dismisses psychological abuse, before diving into why we keep undermining emotional intelligence and calling Gen Z “too sensitive.” Then Stef gets real about burnout, the therapy system, and why speaking out about broken structures isn’t negativity — it’s advocacy.

Stef closes out Season One reflecting on grief, growth, and how loss became the spark behind My Therapist Said: Fresh Out of Empathy. From burnout and chaos to creative alignment, she opens up about transforming pain into purpose, finding balance in recovery, and learning to trust herself again.

Season Two is coming, and it’s going to be more authentic, more unfiltered, and even more Stef.
