In this episode of A Therapist and Her Inner Circle, I sit down with my longtime hairstylist of over eight years for a real, heartfelt conversation about mental health, vulnerability, and the unexpected healing that happens outside the therapy room. We explore why the salon chair often becomes a safe space, how identity and self-worth are tied to hair and change, and what it means to hold emotional space for others every day. From emotional labor and burnout to masculinity, connection, and trust, this episode reminds us that no matter where we are, our feelings matter. A grounded, honest conversation about mental health, relationships, and the power of being truly seen.

In this episode of A Therapist and Her Inner Circle, we explore the space between mind and body—where stress, safety, and healing often unfold. I’m joined by my friend and event partner, a pelvic floor physical therapist, for a grounded conversation about how the nervous system shapes both emotional and physical experience. We talk about why insight alone doesn’t always bring relief, how the body communicates before the brain catches up, and what becomes possible when care is collaborative and human. This isn’t therapy or medical advice—just an honest conversation meant to invite curiosity and connection.

Inside the Inner Circle: My Husband

In the first real episode of A Therapist and Her Inner Circle, I sit down with the person who’s been closest to me through it all—my husband. We talk about who we were before therapy language, how we’ve grown side by side, and what it’s really like loving each other while becoming new versions of ourselves.

This first episode is less of a polished introduction and more of a “pull up a chair and let’s see where this goes.” I talk about why I started this podcast, what the inner circle actually means, and how I plan to figure things out as I go—bumps, missteps, and hopefully minimal bruising included. No perfection here, just real conversation and a genuine invitation to be human together.
