It’s been over a year since the last season of Friends with (Therapy) Benefits… and a lot has changed.
In this Season 2 opener, I’m not coming back with a polished “here’s what I learned” recap. I’m coming back in the middle of it.
If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you used to be and not quite knowing who you’re becoming… this episode is for you.
I share what happened after a major life shift, why I stopped recording, and what it’s actually felt like to lose a sense of identity, self-trust, and clarity—even as a therapist. We get into the pressure of being the “strong one,” the oldest daughter dynamic, and what happens when the version of you that always held everything together… stops working.
This episode also introduces a new segment, “With Love, an Oldest Daughter,” where I share real-time insights from therapy that are probably not just about me.
If you’re navigating burnout, anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, or a life transition that doesn’t have a clear answer yet—you’re not alone in it.
