This conversation goes completely wrong—then we fix it. In this episode, we role-play poor communication and break down what actually turns conflict into connection. Same situation, different words, totally different outcome.

Forgiveness is one of the most misunderstood parts of healing. In this episode, we break down what forgiveness is—and what it isn’t. We talk about boundaries, emotional safety, and how to release resentment without minimizing your experiences. If you’ve ever felt stuck between holding on and letting go, this conversation is for you.

We tend to think wellness requires big changes, long routines, and more discipline—but that mindset is exactly what keeps most of us stuck. In this episode, we’re talking about tiny habits that actually work to support your mental, emotional, and nervous system health.

These are small, realistic shifts you can weave into your everyday life—even on the days you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or barely holding it together. We’ll break down why tiny habits are more effective than willpower, how they help regulate your nervous system, and how consistency (not perfection) creates real healing over time.

If you’re tired of starting over, burning out on routines, or feeling like you’re “failing” at self-care, this episode is for you. Wellness doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from doing less, more intentionally.

Ever sit in therapy thinking “I should ask this… but what if it’s weird?”
This episode is for all the questions you’ve been holding back.

We’re talking about the awkward, unspoken, and slightly uncomfortable questions people are often afraid to ask their therapist—from “Is this even working?” to “Are you judging me?” and everything in between. If you’ve ever overthought therapy, felt unsure what’s “allowed,” or worried about saying the wrong thing, this episode will help you feel less alone and more empowered to use therapy the way it’s meant to be used.

No judgment. No therapy-speak. Just honest answers.

In this episode, we’re talking about the depression no one sees—the kind that hides behind productivity, humor, perfectionism, and “I’m fine.” High-functioning depression is tricky because it doesn’t always look like sadness. It looks like holding it together, showing up for everyone, hitting deadlines, being the “strong one”… while feeling exhausted, numb, or disconnected on the inside.

We’re unpacking the signs that often get overlooked, why so many people suffer in silence, how it shows up in your relationships, and the emotional toll of constantly performing “okay.” We’ll also talk about what support actually looks like, how to slow down when your default is to push through, and ways to start healing instead of just functioning.

If you’ve ever been the strong friend, the overachiever, or the one who keeps going no matter what—this episode is for you. You don’t have to carry it alone.

A little behind the scenes of our A.R.T. therapy training — learning, growing, and expanding the way we support clients. In this episode we share our experiences during a three-day training on Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a trauma-focused therapy that utilizes eye movements to help clients process traumatic memories. We discuss our initial impressions, personal experiences with the therapy, and insights gained throughout the training. We  highlight the emotional challenges faced during the sessions, the effectiveness of ART, and the importance of self-discovery in the therapeutic process.

The holidays are supposed to feel warm and magical… but for so many of us, they bring emotional burnout, overwhelm, and a quiet grief we don’t always talk about. In this episode, we peel back the layers of why this season can feel so heavy—unrealistic expectations, family pressure, old wounds that resurface, and the hustle that leaves no room to breathe. We’ll talk about the emotional toll of carrying “holiday perfection,” how grief shows up in unexpected ways, and the signs your body and mind are trying to slow you down.

Why do people stay in relationships that no longer feel good? In this episode, we break down the real reasons—fear, comfort, attachment, history, and hope. We explore the psychology behind staying, how our past shapes our choices, and why leaving is harder than it seems. Simple, honest, and eye-opening.

Men are often labeled as emotionally unavailable or distant — but what if it’s deeper than that? In this episode, we break down why men struggle to communicate, where that silence really comes from, and how they can start showing up differently. It’s not about blaming — it’s about understanding, healing, and learning how to speak from the heart instead of shutting down.

In this episode of Raw Talk. Real Healing., we dive into the difference between transactional and unconditional relationships — and why so many of us confuse the two. Are we giving love with expectations attached, or are we capable of loving without a return on investment? We unpack how upbringing, attachment, and emotional safety shape the way we connect, give, and receive. This one’s for anyone questioning if their relationships are rooted in true connection or quiet conditions.
