Today we’re back to talking about therapy. Because it's not just for soap opera breakdowns or dramatic movie monologues anymore. We’re digging into the real, actual benefits of therapy—from the scientifically supported to the “who knew talking to someone once a week could keep me from texting my ex” kind.

In this episode, Michelle talks about the real benefits of therapy- from straight up not burning down your life around you to leveling up and thriving like a well fed houseplant on a sunny windowsill.

On today’s episode, we’re diving headfirst into the wonderfully chaotic world of ADHD. We’ll break down the DSM criteria for ADHD—yeah, that big, clinical rulebook that makes it sound like you need a PhD just to diagnose yourself—and talk about how those “official” symptoms really play out in the real world. Spoiler alert: It’s a lot less neat and tidy than those bullet points suggest.

Today we’re cracking open our very first guided journal episode with a prompt that sounds cute on the surface but might just drag your subconscious out by the ankles.

Today’s journal gem is: “What affirmation, quote, or song lyric inspires me today, and how can it guide my actions and mindset?”

Michelle will talk you through affirmations, quotes, and song lyrics- what they are, why they're important, and how they can change your mindset completely, and give her input on journaling them and applying them to your life.

So, you’re wondering if you need therapy. Maybe you had a casual meltdown in the grocery store because they moved the peanut butter, or perhaps you’ve been staring at your ceiling at 3 AM, contemplating every embarrassing thing you’ve done since 2007. Either way—welcome!

In this episode, Michelle breaks down some of the ways you can tell therapy is calling, and you should answer.

Being the daughter of a counselor means you either become incredibly self-aware or just really good at dodging deep conversations- I chose both. But it also means you've got a front-row seat to unfiltered brain dumps, life lessons, and more unsolicited advice than you ever asked for. And now, I’m flipping the script—bringing the humor, the honesty, and the “well, that explains a lot” moments straight to you.

We’re diving in to the real, the messy, and sometimes hilarious side of mental health—the things you wish someone would just say out loud. No toxic positivity, no sugarcoating, zero judgment and just the right amount of dark humor.

So, if you’ve ever side-eyed a self-help book, cried in your car, or stress-ate an entire pizza in the name of “self-care,” you’re in the right place. Let’s get into it.
