47. The Lie of Freedom They Sold Us

Between a Hot Mess & a Therapist ·

2025/07/02

While the world screams about freedom with flags and fireworks, I’m here talking about the kind of liberation that actually matters—the kind that doesn’t leave you burned out, numb, or second-guessing your worth.This episode is a reclamation. Of energy. Of time. Of money. Of what it really means to be free inside a system that taught you to survive instead of thrive.I’m unpacking the illusions we were sold as therapists, healers, and helpers—why chasing “success” still left us exhausted, and how to

Between a Hot Mess & a Therapist ·

2025/06/18

You teach rest. You believe in rest. You know rest is necessary.But when it’s time to actually rest? You panic.This episode explores the raw, uncomfortable truth about why rest feels unsafe—even for therapists, healers, and helpers who teach it.

44. I Can't Do This Anymore... Stop Think That!

Between a Hot Mess & a Therapist ·

2025/06/11

That quiet “I can’t do this anymore” moment? It’s not failure—it’s the beginning of your truth. In this episode, we talk about the collapse as initiation, the shame that rises when we reach our edge, and what to do when coping just isn’t cutting it anymore. If you’re a therapist, healer, or helper who’s been holding it all together and secretly falling apart, this one’s for you. You don’t need to push through. You need space. You need honesty. You need a f*cking exhale.Got a Question? SUBMIT IT

43. Healing in the Noise

Between a Hot Mess & a Therapist ·

2025/06/04

Healing isn’t always soft or silent. In this episode, we rip the lid off the idea that healing should be regulated, quiet, or done in private. If you’ve ever ugly cried in the car, cursed in therapy, or felt rage rise up like a tidal wave—this one’s for you. We’ll talk about how silence became a survival strategy, why “quiet processing” isn’t always it, and how to reclaim your right to be loud, messy, and honest in your healing.

Between a Hot Mess & a Therapist ·

2025/05/28

You don’t need another vacation—you need a nervous system that isn’t white-knuckling its way through life. In this episode, we unpack why rest feels so damn hard (especially for helpers), the nervous system patterns that keep us stuck in the hustle, and how to shift from crash-and-burn to recalibrate-and-reclaim. If you’ve ever felt guilty for resting, or numb even after a weekend off, this one’s for you. Welcome to the recalibration.Got a Question? SUBMIT IT HEREGet your FREE Energetic Blueprint

41. Diagnosing Is a Distraction: The Lie We Bought...

Between a Hot Mess & a Therapist ·

2025/05/21

This one might sting a little.We were taught that diagnosis was the doorway to healing. That naming it made it real. That codes and categories were compassionate. But somewhere along the way, the map became a cage—and we started mistaking paperwork for presence.In this episode, I’m calling out what too many therapists, helpers, and healers have silently felt for years: that diagnosing often serves the system more than it serves the soul. That what we learned in school was incomplete at best, and

40. Becoming, Boundaries & the BS I’m Leaving Behind

Between a Hot Mess & a Therapist ·

2025/05/14

It’s my birthday, and instead of blowing out candles and pretending I’ve got it all together, I’m pulling back the curtain on the things I’ve actually been learning, grieving, and growing through this past year.This episode is not some Pinterest board version of reflection—it’s an honest look at what I’m no longer tolerating, what I now know in my bones, and how boundaries became my new love language. From shedding old roles to reclaiming my voice, I’m naming the patterns I’ve buried, the rules I’ve

2025/05/07

This one’s for the mamas. The space holders. The therapists who... go home and keep holding space, unpaid and unseen. The women do the internal work while packing snacks, running businesses, and trying not to lose themselves in the margins.Mother’s Day isn’t always roses and gratitude posts. Sometimes it’s grief. Sometimes it’s an identity crisis. Sometimes it’s a holy reckoning.In this episode, I’m sharing what it’s really like to be both a mother and a therapist—and why I stopped trying to get it

2025/04/30

You can spot the pattern. You know what’s not working. You’ve got the insight, the tools, the helper brain—and still, the people closest to you won’t take your damn advice. In this episode, we’re diving into the maddening, humbling experience of watching friends, family, or clients spiral while ignoring everything you’ve said. Why does it hit so hard? Why do we take it personally? And how do we hold space without losing our minds (or our boundaries)? Let’s unpack the emotional weight of being the

Between a Hot Mess & a Therapist ·

2025/04/23

It wasn’t some high-ticket mastermind or soul-searching retreat that shifted my perspective because sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come from the most unexpected places. One random night, a simple (but eye-opening) chat with my husband revealed a key difference between us—and how those insights helped me make powerful, sustainable shifts in how I run my life and my practice. Thanks to Human Design, I realized we’re wired completely differently—and I’d been forcing myself to still operate like

2025/04/09

You know the self-care spiel — rest more, set boundaries, stop people-pleasing. You’ve read the books, taken the courses, and maybe even taught others how to prioritize their mental health. But if knowing was enough, you wouldn’t still be running on fumes. In this episode, we’re ripping off the Band-Aid and calling out the toxic lies about hustle, burnout, and “success.” Spoiler: burnout isn’t proof of your dedication — it’s a sign you’ve outgrown the hustle.
