“So, tell me about yourself.” Ugh, our fave question to hate. This week, Stefanie shares how changing just the beginning of her narrative shifted everything—from how she felt telling it, to how it was received. Whether you're stuck in your own script or just tired of being misunderstood, this episode is your invitation to reframe, reclaim, and maybe even rewrite the way you show up in your story.

In this raw and reflective solo episode, Stef shares the story of moving to New York City in the middle of deep grief — and the lessons learned about letting go, starting over, and trusting that gut feeling when something just isn’t right. From navigating loss to finding unexpected clarity, Stef opens up about how to pivot when life doesn’t go as planned, whether by choice or by force. If you’ve ever felt like the rug was pulled out from under you and had to find a new way forward, this one’s for you.

In this week’s episode, Stef dives in. Inspired by some spicy internet hate, she unpacks what it feels like to be misunderstood and why that doesn’t have to shake your sense of self. She gets into the power of “I” statements, the nuance of holding multiple truths, and the radical idea that not every argument needs a winner. Hot take—just because someone disagrees with you doesn’t mean they’re wrong... and it definitely doesn’t mean you are. This one’s all about intention, maturity, and keeping your peace when the comments get loud.

In this week’s episode, “It Is Just a Tuesday,” Stef lays it all out. From unpaid internships to running a private practice, she reflects on the emotional toll of being a therapist in a system that constantly fails its providers. If we’re gonna make “mental health cutie” a lifestyle, we’ve gotta start by fixing the system that’s chewing up the people doing the healing.

In this special interview episode, Stefanie is joined by her long-time friend and former coworker, Crystal. The two reflect on their decade-long friendship, born under fluorescent lights at Nordstrom, where they bonded over low self-esteem, late-night SKU counts, and learning how to step into their power. From healing to hype sessions, this conversation is a reminder that the right people will find you — and when they do, they might just stick around for life.

This episode is about friends.

Stef dives into friendship, more specifically, the role that loss of friends has played in her own life. So if you're wondering how to be a friend, make friends, or let go of those you are not friends with anymore, listen in!

Stef talks about breaking up and speaks on the common statement heard from the world, "I think death would be easier".

As a human who has navigated death and loss, while also breaking up... Stef speaks her truth as to why she believes these two things should not be compared and how she sees societal pressures playing a role in this whole thing. Tune in!!

Let's start celebrating the people who choose themselves. Breaking up is BRAVE. It’s a choice — for you. It’s not a failure, it’s growth.

In this episode, first Stef shares about staying calm in all the chaos, and how to speak up when things don't feel right. Between TikTok and Instagram, we often find ourselves feeling terrified of the perception of others. Relatable? Tune in!

Episode 32

New here? Welcome! Stef reintroduces herself as the pod keeps growing (hi, hello, stay a while). This week, she talks about getting humbled in a workout class, then dives into the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives—and how obsessing over every tiny detail can actually make your life harder, not better.

A viral TikTok video sparked some panic about therapists “only hearing one side” of a story. But Stef’s here to normalize zooming out. Sometimes you don’t need every perspective. Sometimes the why behind a relationship matters more than the what.

If you need permission to leave the chat, stop spiraling, or stop collecting evidence—this one’s for you.
