    Canon Events: Zooming out to see it all

    For the 100th episode of My Therapist Said, Stef reflects on the moments that quietly change the direction of our lives. From the loss of both her parents to a conversation about addiction, this episode explores what it means to look back with compassion, make peace with uncertainty, and recognize that growth is often happening long before we realize it. As Stef looks back on the journey of My Therapist Said, she explores self-trust, personal growth, and the value of processing life out loud. Through stories, memories, and a few unexpected emotional turns, she reflects on how the podcast became more than a creative outlet—it became a way to make sense of life's biggest chapters, deepen her relationship with herself, and connect with others through the shared experience of being human.

    Honest Hypocrite: Choosing compassion

    What if we're all just working with the tools we were given? This week, Stef reflects on generational trauma, mental health, addiction, and the growing divide between older and younger generations. From a coffee conversation about therapy and resilience to a vulnerable discussion about her generational struggles with alcoholism, she explores what it means to meet people where they're at with compassion rather than judging them for where they've been. Also included: getting called out at yoga, horror movies and intrusive thoughts, and a completely unhinged Bubs story involving an entire block of cheddar cheese.

    No Answers, No Problem: Learning to Trust

    What if the problem isn't that you don't have the answer yet... it's that you're just asking yourself the question too often? This week, Stef reflects on self-trust, uncertainty, and the exhausting habit of demanding answers from yourself before you're ready to have them. Through stories about yoga, journaling, and healing, she explores what happens when you stop forcing clarity and start giving yourself a little more time. Stef also chit chats about the new horror movie Obsession, and how relationship dynamics can be terrifying because they're a little too real, an amusement park from the 1980s that somehow operated with almost no rules, and why she's trying to remember that meaningful change—whether in mental health, healthcare, or her own life—usually takes a lot longer than she'd like.

    Let Me Be Mad: Grief, Growth & Uncomfortable Conversations

    This week, Stef reflects on anger, grief, and the uncomfortable conversations many people don't have. What starts as an unexpected reminder of both of her parents turns into a deeper exploration of loss, guilt, and the complicated reality of how the people we love continue to shape us long after they're gone. Along the way, she shares thoughts on therapist burnout, insurance clawbacks, and why she's no longer interested in making herself smaller to keep other people comfortable. From feeling left out of conversations about parents to creating space for therapists to speak honestly about the realities of the profession, this episode explores what happens when we stop avoiding difficult emotions and start talking about them instead.

    The Art of Suffering: Community, Curiosity & Cold Showers

    This week, Stef reflects on what happens when you stop letting other people define who you’re supposed to be. From crying on the mic as a therapist to questioning the boxes we put ourselves and others into, this episode explores identity, authenticity, and the freedom that comes from being a full human instead of a job title. Along the way, she shares why sometimes the answer isn’t to quiet an overthinking mind—but to give it a job.From cold showers and yoga communities to consulting on therapist burnout and questioning what it really means to be a “mental health advocate,” this conversation explores the value of discomfort, the importance of connection, and why a little suffering isn’t always a bad thing. A conversation about community, curiosity, healing, and finding purpose in the things that make us who we are.

    70,000 Emotions

    Stef is back on this Friday episode reflecting on a sleepless night, a much-needed therapy session, and what happens when you stop treating every difficult feeling like something that needs to be fixed. Part therapy reflection, part existential spiral, and part stream-of-consciousness comedy special, Stef shares thoughts on journaling, burnout, emotional processing, addiction, OCD, and why sometimes the most helpful realization is that maybe nothing is wrong — maybe you're just feeling something. Plus: Bubsie makes a sleepy appearance. Follow along on IG & TikTok: ⁠@mytherapistsaidpod⁠ — New episodes every Wednesday and Friday.

    Boundaries in hell

    The boundaries are in hell this week. Stef talks about grief, vulnerability, and the strange emotional whiplash that happens when you’re trying to separate your identity from expectations that have consumed you for years. What starts with an embarrassing moment at yoga turns into a bigger conversation about exhaustion, attachment, and learning how to stay calm with a nervous system that’s doing the absolute most. Stef also spirals about vulnerability online, grief and exes, insomnia at 3 AM, whether healing is making her emotionally softer or just more unstable, and the realization that Bubs has suddenly discovered barking after eight years of silence. Chaos. Absolute chaos. Follow along on IG & TikTok: ⁠@mytherapistsaidpod⁠ — New episodes every Wednesday and Friday.

    Sad about roadkill

    Stef is back on this Friday episode to riff on the worldly impacts of mental health provider burnout, emotional exhaustion, and the strange pressure to keep functioning inside systems that clearly aren’t working. Somewhere between unpacking Bravo relationship dynamics, grieving roadkill on the side of the road, and passionately defending the importance of a structured hoodie, this episode turns into a conversation about what happens when someone narrates their actual inner world in real time. In true Stef fashion, this episode is just as chaotic as it is meaningful — and again, she’ll be done eventually. Also featured: Bubsie makes an appearance as “the cutest dog in the whole world.” Follow along on IG & TikTok: ⁠@mytherapistsaidpod⁠ — New episodes every Wednesday and Friday.
