Having a healthy romantic relationship is easier said than done. From mixed signals to playing games, ghosting to co-dependence, many of us feel lost at sea when it comes to dating and relationships. Especially for those of us who were raised with toxic relationship models, it can be difficult to identify and trust the signs of a healthy partnership.&nbsp; In this episode, host and licensed mental health counselor Sreela Roy-Greene sits down with writer and musicians Holly Solem and Carré Kwong Callaway to navigate the tricky world of romantic relationships. Throughout their 20s, both friends found themselves in toxic relationships, before they each realized what was motivating their choices. Together with Sreela, they discuss how to recognize toxic cycles, break old behaviors, and the importance of learning to love yourself.&nbsp; Next, Sreela is joined by licensed therapist David Yadush from BetterHelp. Together, they explore the difference between healthy vs. familiar behaviors, taking time to discover your own preferences, and learning to identify red—and green!—flags in relationships. If you've ever felt like you were the problem and just can’t seem to find your person, this episode is for you.

I wish you knew…how hard it is to break the toxic relationship cycle

How much do you know about the experiences that shaped your mom or grandma? In this episode, host and therapist Sreela Roy-Greene sits down with Kim Murstein and Gail Rudnick, the granddaughter–grandmother duo behind the podcast Excuse My Grandma, for a conversation that bridges two generations of womanhood. Gail reflects on her early adulthood in the 1960s — the choices she made, the family norms she embraced, and the world as she experienced it — while Kim shares what it means to build a life in her twenties today. Instead of debating whose path is “right,” they lean into curiosity, discovering just how much context deepens understanding. Later, Sreela is joined by licensed mental health therapist Sonni Williams from BetterHelp to explore how we can learn from the generations before us, and how to have thoughtful, productive conversations that strengthen connection.

Money is rarely just about numbers. For most of us, it carries shame, fear, and stress. And for those who grew up low-income, early emotions and memories around money can actually continue to come up as triggers in adulthood, even if that’s no longer their reality. On the first episode of Season 2 of "Mind If We Talk?", host and licensed mental health counselor Sreela Roy-Greene sits down with the founder of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/overgenpoverty/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">OverGenPoverty</a>, Viviana Vazquez, and her husband Xavi. For nearly two years, Viviana hid her financial struggles and low-income background from Xavi—too ashamed to let him in. When she finally opened up, it changed everything. Their conversation with Sreela dives into topics of hyperindependence, being the eldest daughter of immigrant parents, and learning how to accept help from your partner when you’re used to being the one that other people rely on. Then, in the second half of the episode, Sreela is joined by licensed therapist Sarah Close from BetterHelp. Together, they explore how childhood financial stress shapes our nervous system, why money conversations feel so loaded in relationships, and how couples with different money stories can build real trust. If you've ever felt ashamed or anxious to talk about money—or know a loved someone who has—this episode is for you.
