  • FCKN Big Queen Energy w/ Nicole Stillings
    This week on RFT Brenna sits down with Nicole Stillings, podcaster, DJ and TV personality. Nicole went from a 9-5 marketing job to living out her dream in entertainment. She shares her childhood experience living in the midwest in a tension filled house while her parents were divorcing. Nicole got into therapy due to a court mandated appointment and found value in it from the start. Nicole explains how her parents divorce affected her, and how her court mandated therapy was her saving grace during her dads diagnosis/treatment/passing. In regards to grieving after her dad’s passing, Nicole says “When you lose a parent at a young age, 9 out of 10 people have not been through something similar. I think a lot of times people think they are doing you a favor by avoiding the topic because they don’t want to upset you, but I felt really lonely because I felt like I couldn’t talk to a lot of my friends about it.” Nicole shares ways that she still connects with her dad daily although he’s not physically here with her. If you have any experience with being a child of divorce or losing a parent this episode is for you.

  • FCKN Fat Phobia with Margaret Doherty
    On this weeks episode of RFT, Brenna chats with fellow therapist (and Long Island chick) Margaret Doherty IN PERSON (we’re really excited about this, if you can’t tell…) These two FCKRS discuss the ongoing challenge we all face when it comes to living up to our own standards, on top of the standards society has already pressured us to prioritize. Margaret delves into not only the definitions and implications of “fat-phobia” and “thin-privilege” but also her own personal experience navigating the effects of both. Margaret reminds us that even the smallest of comments or instances can have life long effects on the way we see and treat ourselves, and that although the journey to self-confidence is hard- it’s always worth it in the end.

  • Almost FCKN 30 part 2 with Lindsey Simcik
    On this week’s episode of RFT, Brenna is over the moon to chat with “proud mama” Lindsey Simcik. Not only is this badass FCKER known for her incredible Almost 30 Podcast (hello top 50) discussing the intricate life transitions all women face but she has been a huge mentor, supporter and advocate for the Real FCKN Talk journey. If it wasn’t for Lindsey and her cohost Krista, RFT wouldn’t be where it is today (and we wouldn’t have all you FCKRS to be there with us along the way, which sucks, because we love the hell out of the you). Lindsey is all things beautiful, smart and introspective and her open-minded take on life and vulnerabilities will leave you feeling more understood than ever. If you haven’t already (you probably have), check Lindsey and Krista out and all the wonderful insight they have to offer.

  • Do You Believe in FCKN Magic with Brookelynn Rogers
    On this week’s episode of RFT, Brenna is over the moon to chat with Brookelynn Roger’s, aka Roots Rising Co. I mean, wow, this magical FCKR does everything, from spiritual life coaching to relationship work. Although we love talking about Brookelynn, no words can capture her spirit more than her very own. On Roots Rising Co’s website, Brookelynn writes,
    “My Soul has always spoken to me. TBH she’s pretty loud. She’s always there, holding me when I need her to, reminding me that with a higher perspective, everything becomes clear. She introduced me to Spirit as a kid and guided me through many mystical experiences. She is the force that brought me out of my depression and the reason I am who I am today.”
    Yes, she’s that cool.
