Summary

Life is feeling a little... horror-movie-coded this week. Stef talks about closing her private practice, burnout, risk tolerance, grief, embarrassment, and the strange identity crisis that happens when the thing you worked so hard to build suddenly ends. What starts as a conversation about therapist pay and insurance companies turns into a much bigger conversation about uncertainty, ambition, emotional labor, and the pressure to keep reinventing yourself when your nervous system is begging for stability. Stef also spirals about hoodies, horror books with evil vibes, why therapists are always called “crazy” online, and the weird in-between space of addiction and recovery that we struggle to talk about honestly. A chaotic, vulnerable, funny, existential little Wednesday episode. Follow along on IG & TikTok: ⁠@mytherapistsaidpod⁠ — New episodes every Wednesday and Friday.
