I'm Not Your Nervous System: I've stopped Emotionally Babysitting Grown Adults

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. Support the show

Faith In A Flawed System: A Discussion Between Two Therapist

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. Support the show

When Good Feels Unsafe: The High of Self-Sabotage

In this episode, I get real about the quiet and not so quiet ways I keep myself stuck. Over-drinking, over-thinking, and over researching. What looks like discipline or curiousity is often just my nervous system chasing the high of chaos. I explore what calm feels uncomfortable and what I am doing to rewire my system to find a new norm. Raw, honest, and deeply human--this one's for anyone who ever wondered why peace can feel like a threat. Love you all, Brittany Support the show

I'm Not That Mom: The Truth About Energy, Guilt, and Survival

Motherhood isn't one size fits all--especially when your energy doesn't match the worlds expectations. In this episode, I talk about what it's like to be a "Projector mom" (even if you have never heard the term before): the exhaustion, the guilt, and the small ways I am learning to show up differently. This one's for the moms who love their kids deeply but feel dranined by the noise, the pace, and the pressure to do it all. Maybe we're not broke -- maybe we're just built softer in a world that forgot how to slow down. Support the show

When Self-Help Isn't the Help You Need

Today I’m pulling back the curtain on one of those mornings where everything felt heavy. I started my day in tears, hating the version of myself I was showing up as. Instead of just eating breakfast, my brain tried to trick me into overthinking—go meditate, go journal, fix yourself. But what I really needed was food, not another “practice.” In this episode, I unpack how easy it is to slip into analysis paralysis and why the real transformation isn’t found in big, perfect changes but in the small,simple choices we actually follow through on.

The Trap of Spiritual Perfection

We live in a world obsessed with “healing” — morning rituals, high vibes, endless self-work. But what happens when the chase for perfection keeps us from actually living? In this episode, I explore the trap of spiritual perfectionism, why we feel pressured to “get healing right,” and how true growth often hides in messy, everyday moments. From apologies and laughter to falling down and trying again, healing is less about looking flawless and more about being human. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not “healed enough,” this conversation is your permission slip to breathe, let go, and remember: joy counts as medicine too. Support the show

The Trap of Rabbit Holes : Choose Love

In this episode, I open up about my journey with PTSD and how easy it is to get lost in endless rabbit holes on the internet. These spirals promise answers but often leave us more stuck, more divided, and further from ourselves. I believe those traps are designed to keep us searching forever—and never finding peace. Instead of fighting each other or chasing the next hidden truth, I invite us back to what really matters: loving ourselves, loving our neighbors, and remembering that healing doesn’t come from the screen—it comes from the heart Support the show

RELAUNCH EP 1: In The Ashes

After a long silence, I’m back behind the mic. Since 2023, life has undone me in every possible way — I was fired, finally graduated, and then thrown into a whirlwind of transformation that I didn’t ask for. My baby went through two heart procedures. I recently had a miscarriage. And I’ve been honest enough with myself to admit I’ve been coping with too much wine just to get through the nights. This episode isn’t polished. It isn’t triumphant. It’s me speaking from the ashes — the middle of grief, loss, and survival — and choosing to remember who I am through it all. This is the beginning of rising, even if I’m not yet the phoenix. If you’ve ever felt like your life is burning down and you don’t recognize yourself in the smoke, this is for you. Support the show
