    #50 Social Media, Friendship, and Vulnerability Online

    "I'm addicted to social media. I love it and I hate it." "Making friends as an adult is so damn hard." These are some of the most common issues that I listen to from my therapy couch, as the majority of folks I serve are between the ages of 22-40. My conclusion is that what we deeply desire as a generation is: INTIMACY. Not the hot and heavy, sexual intimacy, but a sacred closeness with other humans. with FRIENDS. We're not sure how to make new friends or sustain the existing connections we do have. And social media isn't helping like we hoped it would. In this episode I'm bringing a new spin to the conversation around social media and adult friendships, offering some guidance based on my experience and ideas I've changed my mind about, and shedding some light on the difference between "vulnerable" sharing online versus true intimacy IRL. I hope you love this thought provoking episode- number 50!! ---------- If you are a resident of Indiana and are interested in hiring Kelsee as your therapist (virtually or in person in Indy) visit her website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.hemlockcounselingservices.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To connect further with Kelsee, find her on instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@kelseekeitel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@evergreenthinkingpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or visit the show's website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠evergreenthinkingpod.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ---------- Thanks to LMNT for keeping us hydrated and on our a-game, in the office and on the bike.

    #49 The Therapy Experience from Start To Finish

    So you scheduled your first therapy appointment and you want to know what comes next. OR You're on the fence about therapy, because you aren't sure what will happen in the sessions. Is the therapist going to make you talk about your childhood and analyze your dreams while you're laying on a couch? The process can vary a little from therapist-to-therapist, depending on modalities being used, what issues have brought you to therapy or your therapist’s personality, but I want to tell you exactly what will GENERALLY happen if you sign up for therapy with me, from the moment you reach out to schedule, to the very last session we have together, and everything in between. In this episode I’m gonna tell you what questions I ask on my intake form, how long therapy might take, what happens if you regress in your progress, and even what you’re paying for behind the scenes beyond the 50 minutes that we are together.

    #48 Goal-Setting, Personal Development, And How To Follow-Thru

    Today we are looking at a more sustainable approach to becoming your best self. This episode weaves together some practical strategies with contrarian concepts regarding the ideas of commitment and personal change. Learn: How to commit to a vision rather than getting lost in the commitment to tasks. To build habits upon habits, 2 at a time. To maintain healthy habits even when life throws a curveball. How to tap into the "wise-mind" in order to stop bad habits. Why "WHY" isn't that important for initiating change. A better way to use sticky-notes for habit formation. What is a spectrum of improvement and what makes it so effective. And remember that you still deserve to enjoy your life in the present, before you've actualized all your goals. ------------------- If you are a resident of Indiana and are interested in hiring Kelsee as your therapist (virtually or in person in Indy) visit her website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.hemlockcounselingservices.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To connect further with Kelsee, find her on instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@kelseekeitel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@evergreenthinkingpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or visit the show's website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠evergreenthinkingpod.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ---------- Thanks to LMNT for keeping us hydrated and on our a-game, in the office and on the bike.

    #47 How To Pay For Therapy (With or Without Insurance)

    Why is it so hard to find a therapist who accepts insurance?? Why is therapy so expensive? Insurance and pricing are HOT topics amongst both therapists and clients alike. In this short episode, I'm explaining a few reasons why some therapists (myself included) choose not to panel with insurance, and some tips on how to make therapy more affordable for yourself as a client whether you are paying with or without insurance! ------------------- If you are a resident of Indiana and are interested in hiring Kelsee as your therapist (virtually or in person in Indy) visit her website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.hemlockcounselingservices.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To connect further with Kelsee, find her on instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠@kelseekeitel⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠@evergreenthinkingpod⁠⁠⁠⁠ or visit the show's website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠evergreenthinkingpod.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ ---------- Thanks to LMNT for keeping us hydrated and on our a-game, in the office and on the bike.

    #45 How To Formulate Effective Boundaries (The Missing Key!!!)

    I see a lot of well-intended attempts at boundary setting. And it makes me proud! Setting boundaries is tough, and for many of us recovering people-pleasers, it is even harder. But there a crucial key that MOST folks are missing in their boundary setting: consequences. By missing this step, it is nearly impossible to enforce a boundary.

    #44 Twenty-Nine Lessons I Learned In My Twenties

    Welcome to the Birthday Episode! I turned 30 years old on Oct 6 and am STOKED for this new decade. In true kelsee-fashion, I've reflected a lot on the various lessons I've learned and gifts I've recieved in my 20s. In this episode I am *briefly* sharing 29 lessons I learned by the time I turned 30. We're talking life, love, business, family, friendship, and so much more. Whether you are still in your twenties or reminiscing on those times, I think you'll find something of value in this episode. You may see yourself in some of my stories or take a sweet reminder of a lesson you've learned too. OR maybe I'll save you some time by sharing a new lesson with you too :) Listen close to tip #20 for a hint about my newest coaching group program that is launching in early 2024. It is going to be a game. changer. ;) A few resources I mentioned in the episode include: 1.

    #43 LIVE Coaching Session w/ Single Thirty-Something In Career Transition

    Welcome back for another live mental health sprint coaching session! This is one of my most popular coaching offerings and we are letting you listen in as a fly on the wall! In todays session you'll meet Lauren Kasinger who is an independent, thirty-something, experiencing some big life transitions including making some career and education shifts. Lauren and I were high school classmates (and dance team and colorguard teammates actually!) but Lauren now lives in Florida, where she is a single mom, military veteran (thank you Lo!!!!), former body-building figure competitor, and all around one of the kindest people you'll meet. Lauren's episode is a prime example of what it looks like to work with me in more of a maintenance mode. She has been doing a TON of personal development and growth work, and at this stage, I really get to affirm and encourage her that she is still on the right path towards greatness. You'll notice that through my questioning and comments, most of the wisdom here comes FROM Lauren TO Lauren. I am basically her professional hype woman (my favorite role to play in people's lives). Some of the very relatable themes that we'll discuss include: what to do when your community changes, or when people close to you don’t approve of all of your decisions, how to lean into your own interests and resist people pleasing, and how to navigate being a content independent single woman amongst a community and culture that insists we need a partner to be complete. This episode is minimally edited, per usual, so that you can really get a feel for the cadence and real human stuttering and real-time contemplating that we’ll both experience as we work together.  --- To hire Kelsee as your mental health coach, nationwide, visit www.hemlockcoachingservices.com or connect with her on Instagram.
