  • 11. Emotional Calories: Wait, What?
    2025/03/15

    We’re all familiar with counting calories when it comes to food, but what about the emotional calories we consume daily? Stress, overthinking, and emotional overload can all weigh us down, leaving us mentally exhausted without even realizing it.

    In this episode, we explore the idea of emotional calories—the hidden mental weight that comes from our thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Just like a balanced diet, our emotional intake needs to be managed. We'll dive into how rumination, overthinking, and stress overload can drain us, and how you can practice emotional portion control to avoid feeling mentally stuffed.

    Are you bingeing on emotional junk food? It’s time to start making healthier choices for your mind and create a balanced emotional diet that leaves you feeling lighter, clearer, and more in control.

  • 10: Main Character or Background Extra?
    2025/03/04

    If your life were a movie, would you be the lead… or just an audience member watching things play out? Too often, we wait—waiting for the right timing, for other people to change, for life to magically rearrange itself. But what if the plot isn’t moving forward because you haven’t stepped into the role you’re meant to play?

    In this episode, we’re talking about why self-awareness without action is just self-sabotage, why the same lessons keep showing up until you finally learn them, and how avoiding choices is still a choice. No sugarcoating, no toxic positivity—just a conversation about reclaiming the director’s seat in your own life.

  • 9. That’s Just How My Brain Works: Anxiety Edition
    2025/02/24

    Anxiety was supposed to have our backs—helping us stay alert, prepared, and safe. So how did it become the emotion we dread the most?

    In this episode, as a therapist, I’ve not only navigated anxiety personally but also helped others do the same, so this is advice straight from the therapy room. I’m getting real about my own relationship with anxiety: the moments it’s completely derailed me, the tools that have actually helped, and the surprising ways I’ve learned to work with it instead of against it.We’re covering everything from grounding techniques (yes, including breathing, but in a way that actually helps) to shifting the way we interpret anxiety in the first place.

    If you’re someone who constantly feels on edge, overwhelmed by the what ifs, or just exhausted from fighting your own brain, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about how to stop letting anxiety run the show—without trying to silence it completely.

We’ll talk about why self-love is more than a buzzword, how embracing singlehood can be a game-changer, and why timing is everything (even when it feels unfair). Plus, we’re throwing in some psychology-backed insights on why this season of your life might be exactly what you need.

    So if you're single, clap your hands—because this one's for you. 💐✨

  • 7. Future You Knows What To Do
    2025/02/02

    We’ve all been there—stuck between options, afraid to make the wrong move, as if one choice could make or break our entire future.

    Here’s the thing: We often don’t realize how strong we are until we have to be. Your future self will know exactly what to do when the time comes. You’ve got the resilience within you to handle whatever comes your way—whether the choice feels right in the moment or not.

    In this episode, we’re cutting through the noise. What do different religions say about fate and free will? How does psychology explain decision paralysis? And most importantly—how do you make choices without fear running the show,using different therapy-backed stratageies?


    If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself, overthought a decision, or wished someone would just tell you what to do—this one’s for you. Let’s talk.

  • 6. Perfectionism is a Scam (And It’s Keeping You Stuck)
    2025/01/25

    This isn’t your typical “just be kinder to yourself” conversation. We’re pulling back the curtain on perfectionism—how it’s been marketed to us, who profits from it, and why it’s not just an annoying habit, but a cultural scam designed to keep us feeling never enough.

    We’ve been led to believe perfectionism is about “high standards” and “working hard,” but in reality? It’s fear in disguise. Fear of failure, fear of judgment, fear of not being worthy unless we meet impossible expectations. And what’s worse? That fear has been sold to us—by hustle culture, social media, impossible beauty standards, and even our own upbringing.

    Here’s what we’re unpacking:

    Perfectionism isn’t just personal—it’s a product we’ve been conditioned to buy into. Let’s talk about how industries thrive on our self-doubt.
    Why the “high standards” excuse is a lie. You think you’re just aiming for excellence? Nope—perfectionism actually lowers performance and creativity.
    How perfectionism shows up in ways we don’t even realize—not just in work, but in relationships, in our bodies, and even in how we rest.
    Forget “just let go of perfectionism.” We’re diving into real, therapy-backed tools (CBT, ACT& more) that actually work.
    Why perfectionism isn’t always obvious. People assume it’s just about overachievers—but it also fuels procrastination, burnout, and even self-sabotage.

    🎧 Tune in now—because perfectionism is a scam, and it’s time to break free from the script they sold you.
