ADHD Part 1: Shante’s World

Resolutions & New Growth: Planning Goals Without the Pressure

Hey friend — we just wrapped up our first year of the podcast and dove into everything from holiday therapy needs to why New Years resolutions usually fail. We chat realistic goal-setting, the cycle of change, meaningful words-of-the-year, and why planning for setbacks is actually smart (not pessimistic). If you're tired of vague resolutions and want doable ways to build habits, this episode is for you. We talk support systems, motivation, affirmations that actually work, and how to break big goals into bite-sized wins — plus a few personal updates and profession stuff that makes this all feel human.

ADHD Part 2: Unmasked

Hey friend — we chatted about ADHD’s history, how it shows up (and gets misdiagnosed), and why our overstimulating world might be making things worse — plus practical, down-to-earth tips like body-doubling, task stacking, and simple changes at home that actually help. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s ADHD, anxiety, or just the chaos of modern life — this episode walks you through the confusion with warmth and real examples so you don’t feel so alone.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you (or someone you love) might be navigating ADHD, this one’s for you — full of empathy, humor, and the reminder that getting help doesn’t make you less lovable. Seriously, you’re not alone.

What Is The Best Part Of Therapy: From The Therapist Viewpoint

Hey! Welcome friends, in this episode we celebrate the surprising, powerful parts of therapy: the unbiased perspective, the relief of being truly heard, and those tiny metaphors (roller coaster vs. carousel!) that quietly change everything.  If you’ve ever been skeptical or felt stuck, come hear stories of resistance turning into trust, long-term support catching crises early, and therapists who teach more than they fix. It’s warm, honest, and full of real talk — the kind that makes you feel seen and a little less alone on your mental health journey.

The Hardest Parts of Being a Therapist

This episode feels like a cozy, no-judgment chat between two people who love this work but are honest about the toll it takes — raw, relatable, and full of empathy.
