My Therapist Said

Emotionally Unwell, Comedically Peak

Burned out but chit-chattin'!

This episode, Stef talks about taking a week off from therapy work (because admin and insurance disrespect are insane), the emotional labor of small talk at beauty appointments, messy thoughts on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and mental health on TV, and her hot take on “enabling” in addiction based on her work with people who have addiction and those who have been formerly incarcerated. Your "Bubsdate" is a chaotic side quest about hiding from Bubs’ dog school pickup. Tune in!

Launching Hoodies & Losing My Mind

Welcome back to My Therapist Said! In this episode, Stef recaps her first-ever rage-room adventure after tax chaos sent her spiraling, why breaking a windshield with a crowbar actually helped, and her ongoing war with people who leave during Shavasana. We also dig into therapist burnout, the importance of community, and the lore behind that viral yoga video. And of course... Bubs’ nightly tuck-in routine.

We Get It, Your Parents Are Dead

Stef is back with a Selling Sunset recap full of chaos—leather fireplaces, $30K shrubs, and men who “don’t eat vegetables”—before diving into something real: positive self-talk and how we speak to and about ourselves and how that can make or break your healing journey.

Manipulators Be Manipulating: Dating, Burnout, and Boundaries

Stef kicks off Season 2 with a chaotic Hinge date, therapist burnout, and a clear take on manipulation and mental health. Truth is, everyone can manipulate and it’s a choice to use it. Stop trying to “teach” toxic people; your power is setting boundaries and walking away. Being single isn’t a problem—it’s self-respect.

HAPPY SEASON TWO!

It’s Giving Advocacy Era (The Lost Episode!!)

Stef is back with the forgotten September episode — and she’s starting strong with Netflix's Unknown Number, a doc that hit way too close to home. She opens up about her own real-life stalking story and the way society still dismisses psychological abuse, before diving into why we keep undermining emotional intelligence and calling Gen Z “too sensitive.” Then Stef gets real about burnout, the therapy system, and why speaking out about broken structures isn’t negativity — it’s advocacy.

She's Fresh Out of Empathy

This week, Stef’s officially fresh out of empathy. Between burnout, over-diagnosis culture, and every podcast turning into a therapy session, she’s had it. From Bubs’ mysterious three-week sabbatical to the Ed Gein documentary to why everyone needs to stop self-diagnosing over lunch, Stef’s calling it like she sees it.

It’s ranty, it’s real, and it’s coming from love (mostly).

Did I talk too much? Probably.

This week Stef takes on existential crises (aka: why are we here and why does it feel so weird?). She answers some IG questions—some she nailed, some she had absolutely NO clue. Existential dread? Easy. Private practice? LOL nope. Also, Bubs update: he’s officially a prank king sneaking onto the couch like it’s his stage.

I'm no fun at parties

This week, Stef gets real about her addiction journey — aka how being “too fun at parties” turned into being no fun at all (unless you count oversharing on a podcast). She talks drugs, recovery, and and why even puppy yoga couldn’t make her chill. Enjoy :)

If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, you’re not alone.

Buckle up… we have some things to SAY!

Mexico City, Outside Lands, and Getting Uncomfortable

This week Stef gets into Mexico City, Outside Lands, and why fun isn’t always… comfortable. As a self-proclaimed solo travel queen, she’s always one wrong turn away from being lost in a new city — and honestly, that’s the point. Stef talks about why getting uncomfortable is actually good for you, and how the chaos of “fun” made her appreciate home life even more.

Mindset Matters: The Power of Telling Your Story Differently

“So, tell me about yourself.” Ugh, our fave question to hate. This week, Stefanie shares how changing just the beginning of her narrative shifted everything—from how she felt telling it, to how it was received. Whether you're stuck in your own script or just tired of being misunderstood, this episode is your invitation to reframe, reclaim, and maybe even rewrite the way you show up in your story.

From Grief to Grit: A New York Pivot

In this raw and reflective solo episode, Stef shares the story of moving to New York City in the middle of deep grief — and the lessons learned about letting go, starting over, and trusting that gut feeling when something just isn’t right. From navigating loss to finding unexpected clarity, Stef opens up about how to pivot when life doesn’t go as planned, whether by choice or by force. If you’ve ever felt like the rug was pulled out from under you and had to find a new way forward, this one’s for you.

Find Another One!!!

In this week’s episode, Stef dives in. Inspired by some spicy internet hate, she unpacks what it feels like to be misunderstood and why that doesn’t have to shake your sense of self. She gets into the power of “I” statements, the nuance of holding multiple truths, and the radical idea that not every argument needs a winner. Hot take—just because someone disagrees with you doesn’t mean they’re wrong... and it definitely doesn’t mean you are. This one’s all about intention, maturity, and keeping your peace when the comments get loud.

From unpaid internships to running a private practice, she reflects on the emotional toll of being a therapist in a system that constantly fails its providers.

It's Christmas with Crystal! (An episode on Friendship)

In this special interview episode, Stefanie is joined by her long-time friend and former coworker, Crystal. The two reflect on their decade-long friendship, born under fluorescent lights at Nordstrom, where they bonded over low self-esteem, late-night SKU counts, and learning how to step into their power. From healing to hype sessions, this conversation is a reminder that the right people will find you — and when they do, they might just stick around for life.
