ALL EPISODES

This is another solo episode! I review The Social Dilemma from a counseling psychologist's perspective, giving a summary of the documentary and incorporating research on body image, collective coping, social media addiction, and political polarization. I also review potential remedies for social media that we can do on our own. There was a lot of research to sift through, and I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed finally being able to grab the kitty litter from the top shelf at Walm...

Join me for this fun episode, where I met with Colton Brown to talk about using nerd culture in therapy and grief therapy! We had a ton of laughs while also covering some heavy topics. We also answered a listener's question about overcoming self-doubt and the imposter syndrome after graduating college. Tune in if you also want to hear a really embarrassing story about me trying to reach over a tall counter at a store without a stool. Music by: DJ DanceAlone and Kevin MacLeod.

Karmel Keeton, a recent law school grad, joined me to dish about grad school stress, stressors that attorneys (and soon-to-be-attorneys) face, migrants, and expungements. We shared memories that, coincidentally, involve alcohol and our best study music. I also break down recent research (also problematic methods in those studies) about migrants and alcohol use among attorneys. Does the stereotype of attorneys having alcohol problems hold up? Listen and find out more. Music by DJ DanceAlone and ...

I sat down with two sex therapists to discuss, you guessed it, sex! We covered a variety of topics, including consensual non-monogamy (also open relationships and polyamory), jealousy, pornography, boundaries, and kink play. Join us for the punniest episode yet! Special shoutout to DJ DanceAlone and Kevin MacLeod for the music.

Join me on this solo episode, where I discuss the interaction between chronic illness, the medical field, and real-life mutants. I disclose a rare personal journey to find the right diagnosis and my own experiences working alongside medical providers. I also talk about the research and the victim blaming that is burnout and self-care! In case you're interested, you'll also hear about my mishap with a doorknob and an Amazon package. Editing: McKenna Hereford. Music: Kevin MacLeod.

This episode I met with Breanta Boss, a law student in her final year, who hopes to become a criminal defense attorney. We talk about the basics of the criminal justice system, her experience as a Black woman in law school, Shark Tank, terrible crime shows, and cannibalism. Her article Penance and Punishment: Seeking Reparations from Truth Commissions and Trials was recently published in the State of Texas International Law Section. Editing by: McKenna Hereford. Music by: Kevin MacLeod.

This episode I met with Dr. Alexa Barnes to compare traditional therapy with holistic therapy. I also discuss my own biases about therapy, The Office, and the correct way to put toilet paper on the roll (I still actually don't know). Editing: (painfully) McKenna Hereford. Music: Kevin MacLeod.

Come with me on an adventure where we look at different topics within the scope of research, "experts", and how our own brains trick us. This is an introduction to what you can expect, including entertaining stories.
