ever wondered about your therapist? who are they, really? what do they like? do they like you? do they have favorites?

Here's a look at what your therapist *might* answer, if you ask. It's okay to ask- you're vulnerable with us, and we will be real with you (while keeping a loving boundary!).

If you have burning questions that you'd love to ask a therapist, or if you've quizzed yours.... let us know!

join us and our special guest, Ronald, a firefighter and EMT, as we dive into the challenges, sacrifices, and rewards of serving on the front lines, and get a behind-the-scenes look at what it really means to be a first responder.

*trigger warning* In this episode, we talk about suicide and high-stress occupations, including how stress can deeply affect firefighters. Please take care while listening and pause if you need to. If you or someone you love is struggling, you’re not alone—help is available. Call or text 988 in the U.S., or find local support where you are.

in this episodes, we dive into how friendships evolve during life transitions: parenthood, career shifts, moving, new relationships, and more. Life changes can create new pressure on our friendships...sometimes for the better, and sometimes for the worse. Are you outgrowing someone, or are you cutting them off? Is a friend distant and in need of connection? Are different phases of life insurmountable challenges? Let's chat about it. <3
