Friendships should be safe, fun, and supportive—but without boundaries, they can drain us instead of filling us up.
In this episode, we explore the importance of setting and maintaining boundaries with friends, how to navigate toxic dynamics, and why boundaries are an act of love for both you and the friendship.

Healing isn’t a straight line—it’s a lifelong journey filled with highs, lows, and everything in between.
In this episode, we dive into what happens after you’ve started your healing journey. We’ll talk about the reality of setbacks, why relapse into old patterns is part of the process, and how to build resilience along the way. Plus, we’ll share practical strategies to help you stay grounded and keep moving forward even when life throws curveballs.
In this conversation, we unpack the double drain, constant dopamine hits from our devices and the energy vampires in our lives who quietly leave us depleted. We break down what dopamine really does, why we’re overstimulated but under fulfilled, and how to reset with practical detox habits that bring our focus and creativity back.
We also get real about the people side of it, those who test our boundaries, drain our spirit, or interrupt our peace. Together, we reflect on how to set limits, call our energy back, and give ourselves permission to unplug without guilt.
By the end, we remind ourselves that peace is not optional, it’s protection.
In this episode, we unpack the quiet warning signs of declining mental health and chronic fatigue, the ones we often dismiss as “just being tired.” We share real-life examples of how stress shows up, why high achievers tend to normalize depletion, and how unchecked exhaustion can erode relationships, creativity, and overall well-being.
Together, we highlight the power of self-check-ins, simple, but honest pauses that help you reconnect with your needs and boundaries before burnout takes over.
Listeners will walk away with practical tools to reflect, reset, and give themselves permission to rest without guilt.
In this episode, we open up about the inner dialogue that shapes so much of our healing and growth. We’ve all lived with that harsh inner critic, the voice that points out every flaw, every shortcoming, every “not enough.” But learning to shift that voice from critical to compassionate is where real transformation begins.
We talk about:
How the inner critic shows up in everyday life and why it’s so loud
The difference between accountability and self-attack
Practical ways to reframe our self-talk with honesty and grace
How compassion creates space for growth that criticism never could
The way we speak to ourselves sets the tone for how we show up in the world. When we choose compassion over criticism, we give ourselves permission to grow without shame.
In this episode, we’re diving into what it really means to set goals with intention. Too often, we chase goals that look good on paper but don’t line up with our values, our healing, or the season we’re in. We want to shift the focus from pressure and comparison to clarity and purpose.
We talk about:
The difference between goals rooted in purpose versus goals rooted in pressure
How to set goals that reflect who we are right now, not who we used to be
Why consistency, check-ins, and course correction matter more than perfection
Practical ways to create short-term steps that support a long-term vision
Aligned goals aren’t about checking a box, they’re about creating a life that actually feels right.
In this fun yet practical episode, we’re putting common wellness habits to the test, coffee or tea, journaling or voice notes, early mornings or late nights, gym grind or home flow. Wellness isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s about finding the small, daily practices that help us feel grounded, energized, and aligned.
You’ll walk away with:
Everyday “this or that” choices to shape realistic wellness routines
A new perspective on swapping guilt for grace when habits don’t look “perfect”
Insight on how small consistent shifts can transform mental, emotional, and physical health
Wellness isn’t about doing it all, it’s about choosing what works for your life, one habit at a time.
In this gut-check conversation, we get real about the power of self-accountability. We love to call out other people’s shortcomings, but how often do we pause and call ourselves in? From unpacking what self-accountability really means, to examining the hypocrisy of preaching standards we don’t practice, to learning how to hold ourselves with both honesty and grace, this episode is a mirror moment.
Listeners will walk away with:
A deeper understanding of what self-accountability looks like in daily life
Insight into why it’s easier to demand growth from others than from ourselves
Practical tools for checking in, tracking emotional honesty, and practicing grace while leveling up
True healing and growth don’t start with calling others out; they start with calling ourselves up.
In this episode, we’re taking a deep dive into our personal coping strategies, how to evaluate whether they’re helping us heal or simply helping us avoid. Just because something worked before doesn’t mean it’s still serving you now. We explore how to recognize when it's time to pivot, how to identify outdated or harmful coping habits, and how to lean into tools that support real growth.
This is your invitation to pause, reflect, and ask: Is this still working, or is it just familiar?
Let’s talk about how to check in, shift, and show up for ourselves in healthier ways.

It's easy to get caught up in the idea that healing and growth should look neat and tidy, but in reality, it's far more beautiful in it's messiness.

Let’s be real, shame and guilt will have you hiding parts of yourself that deserve compassion, not punishment. In this episode, we’re having an honest convo about breaking free from the weight of your past, shifting the narrative, and choosing self-forgiveness over self-sabotage.
You’re not who you used to be, and you don’t have to keep apologizing for the journey. It’s time to unpack the heaviness and reclaim your story, unfiltered and unashamed.
Opposing values. Conflicting beliefs. Different worldviews. Whew. In this episode, we’re unpacking what it really looks like to navigate spaces with people who just don’t see life the way we do. From setting boundaries to knowing when to speak up (and when to fall back), we’re talking grace, growth, and keeping your energy intact.
Because co-existing doesn’t mean co-signing, and disagreeing doesn’t have to turn into disrespect.
Let’s talk about how to hold your ground and your peace.
In this episode, we’re getting real about grief, the kind that sneaks up on you, knocks you off your game, and makes you question if healing is even possible. Whether it's the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or the version of life you thought you'd be living, grief shows up in different ways. But guess what? So does healing.
We’re talking about what grief really feels like, how it looks in our everyday lives, and how we’ve learned to navigate it without losing ourselves. From ugly cries to unexpected joy, this conversation is full of heart, hope, and honesty. Healing ain’t linear, but it’s definitely possible, and we’re walking it out together.
In this episode of Healers Need Healing Too, we dive into the messy but necessary journey of healing from relationship trauma, not just the romantic kind, but wounds from family, friendships, and community too.

If you’ve ever struggled to trust again, this one’s for you. Healing is personal, but connection is still possible.
Get ready to laugh until your abs hurt (or at least until your glitter sneezes start). In this wildly unserious and hilariously chaotic episode, we dive headfirst into the most ridiculous, embarrassing, and oddly thought-provoking “Would You Rather” questions the internet never asked for but totally needed. From moonwalking into meetings to telepathic shade from animals, we debate the important stuff. Like… is it worse to yawn confetti or sweat maple syrup? This is the episode where logic takes a nap and hilarity takes the mic. Tune in, giggle loud, and tell us: would you rather? 👀💬💥
In the final installment of our therapy trilogy, we’re digging deep into what it really means to stay the course on your healing journey. This episode explores the power of commitment in therapy, why showing up, even when it’s tough or uncomfortable, makes all the difference. We talk about the importance of being intentional in every session, not just waiting for a breakthrough but actively creating space for growth. If you've ever questioned whether therapy is still working or felt tempted to give up, this episode is the encouragement and real-talk reminder you need. Healing is a journey, not a quick fix, and the transformation happens when you commit to the process.
