Friends with (therapy) Benefits

Friends with (therapy) benefits is the mental health podcast for people who are self-aware… but still somehow spiraling in the Target parking lot. Hosted by Elizabeth Carr— a licensed professional counselor, this show explores burnout, boundaries, anxiety, identity, relationships, people-pleasing, and what it actually looks like to heal in real life—not just in therapy quotes on Instagram. This isn’t a “10 steps to fix your life” kind of podcast. It’s more like a therapist-informed group chat, poolside conversation, and existential crisis debrief all rolled into one. We talk about the stuff high-achieving women quietly struggle with: why you can explain your patterns but still repeat themwhy rest feels unsafewhy setting boundaries feels like guilt with a calendar invitewhy success doesn’t automatically create self-worthand why being “the strong one” is exhaustingSome episodes are funny. Some are vulnerable. Some feel like the conversation you wish someone would’ve had with you years ago. If you’re trying to become a healthier, more authentic version of yourself—without toxic positivity or pretending to have it all figured out—you’re in the right place. New episodes weekly.
