October 22, 2021 Daily Reals 002 - Projecting in Relationships
I stumbled across a TikTok video that showed a couple having an all too common conversation about a man commenting on his partner's dress choices. I dive into my personal take on this conversation, but also how it impacted me and made me reflect on a lesson I think we can all learn about using communication through empathy and vulnerability.

Let me know your thoughts on the podcast and let's grow together!

July 27, 2021 My Therapist Friend 003 with Patrizia Giampaolo
TW: This episode discusses the topic of domestic abuse and relationship violence and should be listened to at the viewer's discretion. Patrizia does share some of the details regarding her own experiences which some may find distressing. Please ensure to make your mental health a priority while listening to this episode.

I had the absolute pleasure of discussing the details of what it's like to experience domestic abuse from speaking with Patrizia. She's an advocate for women who have experienced abuse who speaks confidence and boldness as she's overcome the shame that is so readily associated with domestic abuse survivors. I'm honoured to not only hear the details of her experience, but also to learn the mechanisms of relationship abuse. It is my biggest hope that everyone who hears this episode will show her some love on her page @theoneyyc on instagram. Please show your support and love in any way you can!

September 24, 2020 My Therapist Friend 001
Psychology students, this is especially for you!

Chatted with @thatmillienialtherapist on IG Michelle Mouhtis, a licensed clinical social worker and relationship coach, to have my first interview on My Therapist Friend--My new series to help bridge the gap between client and therapist to de-stigmatize mental health and getting help.

We talk about her origins of how she was practically born into the field, coaching versus therapy, restrictions that she faces as a therapist, dealing with ethics in the field, the future of therapy and technology, and her own insecurities as she started her journey as a therapist herself.

Hit me and Michelle up on instagram. We'd love to hear from YOU! ❤️
