    Ep 3: Community Love & The War on Women

    Welcome back to The Tied-In Podcast. In this episode, we’re peeling back the curtain on the "perfection" of content creation. I’m sharing a transparent moment about the reality of building a community and what happens when your planned Q&A box stays empty (spoiler: we keep moving anyway!). Today is March 31st, International Transgender Day of Visibility. We’re starting the episode by celebrating the resilience and joy of our trans community and sharing essential support resources. From there, it’s all about the flowers. I’m shouting out the local Orlando and Central Florida small businesses that inspire me and keep our creative heart beating. We also dive into a heavy but necessary conversation about the current climate for women, the decline of intentionality in dating, and the disturbing rise of "crash out" culture in the streaming world, specifically addressing recent news regarding Clavicular and Jordan Sisco.

    Ep 2: Gatekeeping & The "Altered State"

    In this episode, we dive into the thin, often blurred line between professional responsibility and institutional negligence. We explore how "gatekeeping" (a critical function in academia and clinical practice) can fail with catastrophic consequences, and what happens when the "healer" becomes the one in need of intervention. ⚠️ Content Warning This episode contains heavy discussions regarding therapist burnout, suicide, and violent crime, including the Rebecca White case and the University of Idaho tragedy. Please prioritize your well-being while listening. Help is available 24/7 at the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Additional clinical tools and self-care resources are at tiedbyadri.com under the 'Resources' tab."

    Ep 1: Catholic Guilt, Moral Whiplash, and Choosing Peace.

    If you’ve ever felt the "moral whiplash" of being raised with certain religious values only to see those same communities align with movements that cause real harm, this episode is for you. I’m pulling back the curtain on the messy intersection of culture, faith, and clinical safety. In this first episode, we’re untying: The Monday Message: How to navigate "Catholic Guilt" and parental expectations without losing your identity. Religious Psychosis: A deep dive into the viral March 2026 case of the therapist who lost her license after choosing "demons" over a diagnosis. Choosing Peace: Why setting boundaries with family isn't a betrayal of your culture, it’s an act of love for your future self. The "Therapy Generation": Why Gen Z is redefining what it means to be "spiritual but agnostic" while supporting clinical truth.
