In this episode, we dive into the messy, uncomfortable reality of working with clients we don't like. No one wants to admit it, but it happens—and it impacts our work in ways we rarely discuss. From emotional burnout and compassion fatigue to countertransference and ethical dilemmas, we explore how these clients challenge our patience, bias, and integrity. But beyond the discomfort, there's hidden growth waiting if we're willing to face our shadows and dig deep. Join us as we explore the hard truths and unexpected lessons that come from navigating difficult client relationships.

Ever felt trapped by the expectations of grad school? In this episode, I dive into my own experiences and regrets about higher education, exploring the hidden costs of private schools, the weight of student loans, and the disconnect between theory and real-world application. From navigating the pressures of choosing an MA or PhD to the glaring lack of diverse voices in faculty, I unpack the lessons I wish I had learned before stepping into the academic arena. Join me as I share what I’d do differently, from picking a path that fuels my passion to seeking out practical skills over prestige. Whether you’re considering grad school or just reminiscing about your own journey, this episode is a raw and honest exploration of the realities of higher education. Let’s break the stigma and talk about what’s often left unsaid.

In this episode, we're diving into the raw truth about how grad school messed us up. We’ll talk about how it left us unprepared for the real world of therapy—where the textbooks end and the overwhelm begins. From the unrealistic expectations to the outdated frameworks, we’re unpacking how the system failed us and what we’ve had to unlearn to truly show up as healers. Let’s get real about what grad school didn’t teach us and how we’ve been figuring it out the hard way ever since.

In this episode, we dive into the subtle (and not-so-subtle) messages the universe sends our way. Ever feel like you keep bumping into the same lesson, or that life is throwing signs at you when you least expect it? We explore how to tune in, recognize patterns, and decode those universal nudges that guide us toward growth, healing, and alignment. Whether it’s in a tough situation, a random encounter, or a moment of stillness, the universe is always speaking.

In this episode, we dive into the tension between being the healer and being human, how this duality can show up in our bodies, and what we can learn from somatic therapy and even Star Wars. It’s time to stop pushing through and start listening to the stories our bodies are telling us.
