This week Jazmin learned that shifting where she works so that she’s more comfortable makes a huge difference in the way she feels about working and the quality of counseling she provides.

We’ve also got podcast changes happening in 2026 and we need your feedback!

Thank you...

This week Jazmin learned that not only are worksheets not *all bad*, but also, she actually kinda likes them. [Gasp!] That’s right y’all - done properly and with intention, worksheets in therapy can be really useful and helpful. Just don’t use them wrong (which is really easy to do).

It’s the final episode of our special series and we’re closing it out on a high note with a silly bonus! We’re chatting about being dog moms -- the most dismissed and underappreciated of the motherhood experiences! We’re going into how it’s not as easy as it looks and no one even tries to give us a Mother’s Day card for our efforts. It’s a thankless job, but somebody’s gotta do it.
