After a long break, Therapy for the Pour is finally back — and this episode dives into one of the heaviest stories we’ve talked about yet.

A woman writes in devastated because the man she’s loved for over a decade has slowly become convinced that the world is conspiring against him. Coworkers, strangers, even his own wife — everyone feels suspicious to him now, and their marriage is beginning to crack under the weight of paranoia, fear, and emotional exhaustion.

This episode unpacks:

-paranoia and distorted reality

-the psychology of hypervigilance

-what happens when mental health starts impacting relationships

Grab a drink, as we are back to unpacking other people's chaos one story at a time

This week on Therapy for the Pour, we’re getting into a conversation that seems simple on the surface… but carries a lot more weight than you’d expect.

A couple expecting their first child together finds themselves in a disagreement over the baby’s last name.

She wants all of her children to share the same last name for unity.

He’s not comfortable with this.

And just like that, a conversation about names turns into something much deeper.

Because sometimes… it’s not about the name.

It’s about what the name means.

Short, honest, and a little uncomfortable—just how we like it.

Pour something light for this one… and let’s get into it.

This episode is all about boundaries—what happens when they’re ignored, crossed, or completely shattered.

In the first story, a man spends years restoring his dream car… only to walk outside and find his brother-in-law casually giving it away like it’s his to offer.

Yes. Actually.

Then we shift into a story that’s way more uncomfortable in a completely different way—when a lifelong sibling relationship takes a turn that crosses a line you can’t come back from.

Plus… with Rico in the mix, you’re getting both sides of the conversation—real reactions, real opinions, and no sugarcoating.

So pour something strong (trust us, you’ll need it)… and let’s get into it.

This week on Therapy for the Pour, we’re talking about what happens when the person who’s supposed to protect you… is the one who puts you in the worst position.

Story one starts with what should’ve been a romantic anniversary dinner—and turns into a full-blown betrayal when a husband secretly repurposes the night into a “healing party” for his sister… without ever telling his wife.

Because nothing says love like public humiliation, right?

Then we get into a story that will genuinely make your stomach drop… finding a hidden “in case we divorce” folder on a spouse’s laptop—complete with documents, plans, and receipts… all while the relationship seemed completely normal on the surface.

As always… we’re unpacking the chaos one story at a time—because therapy is expensive, and sometimes you just need a drink.

In this episode of Therapy for the Pour, we unpack two stories that explore love, jealousy, and the expectations we place on relationships.

The first story dives into unrequited love and what it feels like to hold onto someone who was never truly yours to begin with.

The second story takes a deeper look at insecurity, emotional conflict, and what happens when someone struggles to accept a life that doesn’t match the one they imagined.

Both stories highlight a difficult but important truth — sometimes love is there, but it still isn’t enough to make a relationship work.

Paired with a morning mimosa, because if we’re unpacking emotional chaos before noon… we might as well do it properly.

In this episode of Therapy for the Pour, we unpack two stories that revolve around trust and the ways it can quietly unravel inside relationships.

The first story dives into a deeply emotional situation involving grief, sentimental value, and what happens when someone disrespects something that represents a lost loved one.

The second story explores a different side of relationship conflict — loyalty tests, insecurity, and what happens when trust is replaced with traps and outside opinions.

As always, we break it all down one story at a time over a Southern Comfort Spritz, because therapy is expensive… but a drink and some perspective can go a long way.

This episode unpacks a story that moves quickly from uncomfortable to deeply concerning. What was framed as a joke becomes a conversation about intimidation, trust, and recognizing when a situation isn’t safe.

Paired with a Botanical Seltzer Spritz, we talk about how fear should never be part of a relationship, why these moments can signal escalation, and the importance of listening to your instincts instead of explaining them away.

Some situations aren’t meant to be fixed — they’re meant to be left.

This episode dives into a story about humor, boundaries, and what happens when personal vulnerabilities are shared in the wrong setting.

We unpack the difference between playful teasing and public embarrassment — and why trust can be damaged in moments that don’t seem serious at first.

Paired with an Espresso Martini, because sometimes things that look smooth still leave a bitter aftertaste.

This week’s story is a Valentine’s Day aftermath that feels less like romance and more like a reality check. We unpack a relationship that asked for advice a little too late, the red flags that showed up loud and clear, and the hard truth about believing people when they show you exactly how they feel.

We’re pairing this one with a cozy Hot Toddy — because while the weather (and the drink) may be warm, this relationship definitely was not.

This Valentine’s Day, we’re switching things up. Joined by my husband Rico, we unpack three different stories straight from Reddit’s relationship advice — each one exploring love, conflict, and the messy reality behind romantic expectations.

With a glass of raspberry champagne in hand (specifically a Verdi Raspberry Sparkletini), we talk through red flags, communication struggles, and the kinds of situations that make you pause and ask, “Is this love… or is this a lesson?”

Because not every Valentine’s story is picture-perfect — and that’s exactly why we’re here.
