Real Life with Radelle is practical psychology for actual humans living actual lives.

Hosted by psychologist Radelle Jensen, the podcast explores parenting, mental health, relationships, neurodivergence, boundaries, anxiety, behavior, connection, and the complicated reasons people do what they do. It's a powerful podcast about how cultivating connection, intentional living, and intentional thinking can change your life.


These are short, conversational episodes designed to give you something useful to think about while you’re walking the dog, driving kids around, folding laundry, working, or trying to get through the rest of your day.


Radelle brings psychology out of the therapy room and into real life, with an emphasis on understanding the why underneath behaviour, making sense of our brains, building stronger relationships, and figuring out what actually helps.

There are no one-size-fits-all answers here. People are nuanced, families are complicated, and sometimes the advice one person desperately needs is exactly the wrong advice for someone else. The goal is to give you useful ideas, practical tools, and different ways of looking at things, while leaving room for your own judgment, self-reflection, and lived experience.


Expect conversations about raising connected kids, anxiety, ADHD and autism, emotional regulation, sibling relationships, boundaries, self-compassion, trauma, parenting without losing yourself, and the small shifts that can make everyday life feel a little easier.


Real life is complicated. Psychology can help it make a little more sense.

  • The Way That Your Thinking Causes You Emotional Pain (part 1)
    2026/09/26

    In this episode, I’m talking about the thinking errors our brains can fall into without us even realizing it, things like: catastrophizing, mind reading, all-or-nothing thinking, “should” statements, and more.

    We’ll look at how these patterns show up in everyday relationships and, especially, in parenting moments when emotions are already running high.

    The goal isn’t to judge ourselves for having these thoughts. It’s to notice them. Because once we can recognize the story our brain is telling us, we have a little more space to respond differently, with more perspective, more curiosity, and less shame.

  • Why Cant I Ever Really Change My Reactions?
    2026/09/21

    Sometimes what looks like an overreaction on the surface has something much deeper underneath it. In this episode, we talk about core beliefs and schemas, the deeper assumptions we develop about ourselves, other people, and the world—and how they can quietly influence our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and reactions.

    We explore why criticism can feel so painful, why certain situations seem to “trigger” us more than others, and how beliefs such as I’m not good enough, I have to keep everyone happy, I’m unlovable, or I have to handle everything myself can shape the way we interpret everyday life.

    I also introduce the CBT downward arrow technique as a way to move beneath an automatic thought and uncover the belief underneath it. Core beliefs can be remarkably persistent, and research has found meaningful associations between early maladaptive schemas, childhood adversity, and later psychological distress—although these relationships are complex and should not be reduced to “your childhood caused everything.” (PubMed) CBT itself has a substantial evidence base across a range of psychological concerns.

    This podcast and the accompanying worksheet are for education and self-reflection, not therapy, diagnosis, or individualized psychological advice, and listening does not create a psychologist-client relationship. You are responsible for deciding what feels appropriate and safe to explore on your own. If this work brings up significant trauma, overwhelming distress, safety concerns, or experiences that feel difficult to manage independently, consider doing that deeper work with a qualified mental-health professional rather than pushing through it alone.

  • How to Actually Change the Way You Think
    2026/09/16

    How to Actually Change the Way You Think

    In Part 2 of my CBT series, we move from simply noticing our thoughts to actually doing something with them.

    We talk about automatic thoughts, cognitive restructuring, cognitive reappraisal, thought records, and how to examine a thought without automatically believing it. I walk through a real-life example of feeling judged by an annoying brother-in-law — because sometimes the thought really is partly true — and explain why CBT is not about pretending everything is wonderful or forcing yourself to “think positive.”

    Instead, the goal is to ask:

    What actually happened?

    What did my brain tell me it meant?

    What evidence supports that thought?

    What evidence doesn’t?

    Is there another explanation?

    What is a more accurate and useful way of seeing this?

    We also talk about what happens in the brain during cognitive reappraisal, why changing the meaning we give a situation can influence our emotional response, and research showing that structured CBT strategies such as thought records and behavioural experiments can help shift beliefs, anxiety, and behaviour.
