    Guided Meditation 157 - (Annette) Floor Goblin Pile

    This meditation walks through the quiet process of tackling everyday piles — mail, laundry, towels, and small tasks that build up over time. Not a meditation about perfection, but about progress, relief, and making your space livable again. Sometimes the goal isn’t to fix everything — it’s just to make the mountain smaller.

    58 - Heavy Sessions, Graduation Chaos, and Learning to Sit in Silence

    Annette and Lori recap graduation weekend chaos—including a recording mix-up, accidental podcast scheduling confusion, and Lori being rear-ended in traffic after her graduation party. From there, the conversation shifts into the emotional realities of clinical work: carrying the weight of traumatic disclosures, navigating emotionally heavy days, and learning how to hold space without trying to “fix” everything for clients. They reflect on awkward or quiet sessions, using humor carefully in therapy, sitting with silence instead of rushing to fill it, and realizing that consistency and presence often matter more than perfectly executed interventions. Honest, emotional, and deeply grounded in the realities of early therapist life, this episode explores the balance between caring deeply for clients and still finding ways to care for yourself afterward.

    57 Pt. 1 - Graduation Brain, Work-Life Balance, and the Reality of Quiet Sessions

    In Part 1 of Session Zero Episode 57, Annette and Mika reconnect after graduation and reflect on how strange it feels to finally be out of grad school while simultaneously adjusting to full-time clinical work. They talk about work-life balance, learning how to structure their weeks without assignments looming overhead, and rediscovering hobbies and coping skills outside of therapy—like coloring, quiet routines, and intentionally protecting personal time. The conversation also dives into the realities of early clinical work: tedious documentation, sessions that feel “quiet” or uneventful, clients who barely talk, and learning that simply showing up consistently can still be deeply therapeutic. Thoughtful, grounding, and full of therapist-growing-pains energy, this episode explores the transition from student to clinician in all its messy, human reality. Please like and follow us.

    Guided Meditation 153 - (Annette) Unsent Messages

    This reflective meditation offers a quiet space to honor the things you never said—the message drafted but unsent, the apology you held back, the words that stayed inside. Whether they were kept in silence for safety, clarity, or timing, this meditation affirms the weight and meaning of unspoken truths… and gives you permission to let them rest.

    Guided Meditation 152 - (Mika) Window Light

    In this quiet and contemplative meditation, you’re invited to sit by a window and simply notice the movement of light. As it shifts across glass, walls, and drifting dust, the steady rhythm of brightness and shadow becomes a grounding presence. With soft breath and gentle awareness, this practice offers calm through observation — a reminder that light continues to arrive, change, and return, meeting you exactly where you are.
