The Therapist and the Wildcard

Episode 23 - When Grief Collides

During one of the grief group sessions Vit runs, someone unexpected walked through the door… the manager from the hotel where Chris died. She came to the group because she was grieving a loss of her own, not realizing Vit was the one leading it. In this episode, Vit and Jen talk about the emotions that came with that moment, how grief connects people in unexpected ways, and the complicated feelings tied to places and people connected to loss. The Therapist & The Wildcard is a mental health podcast hosted by The Wildcard, alongside The Therapist, where real conversations meet professional insight—and nothing is off-limits. Together, they dive into therapy, grief, healing, relationships, emotional chaos, and the moments that make you laugh, cry, or ask, “Is this normal?” Some episodes go deep. Some go sideways. Most do both. The Wildcard brings the unfiltered conversation, lived experience, and humor people are usually afraid to say out loud, while The Therapist grounds the conversation with clinical knowledge, compassion, and perspective—without killing the vibe. This podcast isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about talking through the mess, naming the hard stuff, and finding meaning (and humor) along the way. If you’ve ever laughed through pain, questioned your own reactions, or wanted therapy talk without the therapy voice—welcome. You’re in the right place.

Episode 22 - Avoiding or Actually Busy?

This week on The Therapist and The Wildcard, we talk about being actually busy vs just avoiding life, making plans and instantly wanting to cancel them, and why adulthood looked so much easier when we were kids. We also get nostalgic about growing up without technology taking over everything and talk honestly about how grief can leave you feeling a little more reckless with life.

Episode 21 - 2nd Time Around

This week we talk about Chris’ second birthday not being here and our second wedding anniversary without him. Last year felt like survival mode. This year felt different—still painful, still emotional, but not as impossible to carry. We talk honestly about how grief changes over time, the complicated feelings that come with healing, and what it’s like realizing you can miss someone deeply while also learning how to breathe again. Grief changed shape this year. Love never did.
