EP 7 The Real Tea on Self-Care
In this episode, Lateka and Jesie confront old platitudes and unhelpful beliefs around the concept of self-care. More often than not, we think of self-care as those luxurious baths, spa-like experiences, and the expensive getaways we see in media. WMTS broadens the understanding of self-care as a birthright and needs to be specific to our identities. Jump in as Jesie and Latek reframe your understanding of self-care and provide some tangible models through which we can better care for ourselves!

EP 6 Boundaries, The Follow Up
WMTS just couldn't contain their passion for boundaries to one episode, so we made another! In this episode, we dive deep into the questions that the Well My Therapist Says Community asked. And geez, were they phenomenal questions! From finding scripts to articulate specific boundaries, to investigating what comes up within ourselves that lets us know a boundary is needed-it's all covered here. And in case you haven't heard it in a while, we love our WMTS community, so damn much.

EP 5 Boundaries Are More Than Barriers
In this episode, Jesie and Lateka dive deep into boundaries. A buzzword for many, but often misunderstood. Bottom line: boundaries are not barriers to connection. They promote safety, belonging, clear communication, and connection! Challenging some of the misperceptions about boundaries, and redefining what they mean, the co-creators of Well My Therapist Says bring a fresh perspective to "those things we have in place" around ourselves. The WMTS community showed up big time for this one, contributing ideas, struggles, and their own working definitions of what it means to have boundaries!
