About this listen

A lighthearted podcast about everyday life from personal stories, to mental and physical health. I believe in unity. I believe the world needs more individuality and light. That is my purpose here.

  • Let Her Be Changed : Just Because You Can Do It Doesn't Mean You Should
    Jan 15 2026

    Motherhood changes you. Not in a way that needs fixing, and not in a way you should rush to recover from.

    In this episode, I talk about the impossible standards placed on mothers today, the exhaustion we’re expected to normalize, and the quiet judgment that shows up when a woman copes instead of being cared for. I share a moment from my own marriage, how tiredness is often treated as a personal flaw rather than a signal, and what it means when no one asks why a mother is struggling, only how to make her stop.

    We explore the loss of communal motherhood, the pressure to “do it all” simply because we can, and the truth that capability is not the same as support. This is a conversation about grief, identity, and permission. Permission to be changed. Permission to need more. Permission to stop pretending that this version of motherhood is natural or sustainable.

    You’re not failing. You’re responding to a system that was never designed to hold you.

  • I'm Not Your Nervous System: I've stopped Emotionally Babysitting Grown Adults
    Dec 9 2025

    In this unfiltered episode, Britt speaks honestly about the weight of being the primary parent, navigating sobriety, and the emotional labor that women silently carry in their homes. She dives into pre-regulation, resentment, boundaries, and the strange guilt that shows up when you stop managing everyone else’s feelings. This isn’t man-bashing — it’s truth-telling from a woman learning to take responsibility for her own emotions instead of absorbing everyone’s. It’s raw, real, a little fiery, and deeply human. If you’ve ever felt invisible in your own household or tired of holding the emotional clipboard for grown adults, this one will hit home.

  • Faith In A Flawed System: A Discussion Between Two Therapist
    Nov 6 2025

    In this episode, two therapist open up about the darker corners of the mental health field-- exploitation, unethical behavior, and the greed that often hides behind the guise of "care." We talk about what we experienced firsthand, how broken systems keep good clinicians quiet, and why we're choosing to speak out now. This is an honest unfiltered conversation about reclaiming integrity in a profession that desperately needs it.
