It’s been 40 years since The Breakfast Club first brought the brain, the athlete, the basket case, the princess, and the criminal together — and we’re diving deep into what still resonates today. 

In this episode of Wicked Psychotherapists, Tanya and Erin explore the emotional layers of this 80s classic through a psychotherapist’s lens.

From high school identity traps to generational wounds, from laughter to suicidal ideation, and from cliques to compassion — this conversation peels back the stereotypes and shines a light on the shared human experience behind each archetype. 

Plus, we're talking Gen X feels, 80s nostalgia, and how social roles evolve (or don’t) across time.

Whether you're a longtime fan or watching it for the first time, join us for a heartfelt, insightful, and sometimes hilarious exploration of The Breakfast Club — and what it still teaches us about connection, mental health, and being seen.
