I always love engaging with folks! Whether you have a question, want to say hi, or have a topic you want to hear me yap about- I would LOVE to hear from you

Ever feel like you're holding everyone else's pain while your own cup is completely empty? Exhausted from being the "strong friend" who shows up for everyone but struggles to ask for help yourself?

In this episode, I sit down with the iconic Sam Southard, better known as The Blonde Therapist—a trauma therapist, content creator, and unapologetic truth-teller who's redefining what it means to show up authentically online.

We're getting real about what healing actually looks like when everything feels chaotic, why traditional therapy advice doesn't always hit when you're dealing with collective trauma, and how to navigate social media as both a professional and a human trying to stay sane.
We unpack:
💔 Understanding trauma responses and breaking unhealthy relationship patterns
🌍 Processing collective overwhelm without losing yourself in the process
📱 Showing up authentically on social media as a helping professional (without burning out)
🤝 Why community support isn't just nice-to-have—it's survival
⚖️ Holding boundaries and compassion at the same time (yes, it's possible)
🗣️ The role of speaking truth in your healing journey

🎧 Ready to stop carrying everyone else's emotional load? Tune in for real talk about boundaries, healing, and showing up authentically without the burnout.
