| 6/12/26 | 3.18 That one time Claire saw a Psychic… | Sometimes life throws something really big or hard at us and we believe we need help ASAP. So obviously, you text your therapist or find a psychic, right?!? Jk. But Claire did hire a psychic once and we haze her accordingly. Something else is happening though when we don’t give ourselves a bit of breathing room for our nervous system to settle and regulate…we take to the internet. What happens when the internet becomes your nervous system? This episode explores self-diagnosis cul... | 35m 54s | ||||||

| 1/9/26 | 3.7 Control Freaks and their Timelines | Are the timelines you live by protecting you, or just keeping you stuck? This episode explores the hidden comfort of "arbitrary clocks"—like the 30-day no-contact rule—and how they often function as temporary pain relief rather than true healing. What We Cover: The "Control vs. Surrender" Test: How to tell when a deadline is useful for work versus when it’s an attempt to control fate.Real-Life Stress Tests: From the anxiety of unread texts and home renovations to the emotional weight of divor... | 35m 28s | ||||||
| 12/26/25 | 3.6 Adult Fears and Phobias Unpacked | From the absurd (snakes through sunroofs) to the profound (the fear of being unlovable), we’re diving into the vivid world of adult anxiety. This episode categorizes our fears into three distinct lanes: practical risks that need a plan, anxiety loops that need a nervous-system reset, and tender wounds that require compassion and community. We explore why "white-knuckling" through phobias doesn't work and how tools like EMDR and exposure therapy can rewire your brain. Whether you need a checkl... | 39m 54s | ||||||
| 12/12/25 | 3.5 Receiving 101: A Holiday Survival Guide for Overfunctioners. | This episode on Before You Cut Bangs, we’re talking about something that should be simple… but somehow feels like advanced emotional calculus: Receiving gifts, compliments, help, and kindness. Maybe a casserole you didn’t ask for. Perhaps a gorgeous candle from a friend when you... you guessed it... got them nothing. Why is it SO HARD to say thank you without immediately blurting out, “Oh, this old thing? I’ve had it for 12 years,” or “Girl, it was $5 at Target,” or the classic Southern s... | 29m 29s | ||||||
| 11/28/25 | 3.4 Is ChatGPT Your Therapist, Best Friend, and Situationship — JK (But Also…?) | This week on Before You Cut Bangs, we’re talking about what happens when ChatGPT stops being a helpful tool… and starts becoming your entire emotional ecosystem. We kick it off by letting our own ChatGPTs ROAST THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS out of us — Laura, Claire, and Will each asked their ChatGPT, “What am I using you for in an unhealthy way?” and the answers were… brutal. (Because nothing says self-awareness like being dragged by a robot.) From there, we get into the real conversation: &... | 30m 01s | ||||||
| 11/14/25 | 3.3 Crisis, Chaos, and Country Songs | In this week’s episode of Before You Cut Bangs, Laura and Claire get brutally honest about what happens when life hits you with more plot twists than a sad country music song. Laura opens up about walking through a season where everything changed at once — a move, personal upheaval, emotional whiplash — while Claire deals with her own chaos (think: her hardwood floors literally being ripped out). Together, they unpack the real question: Why do we show up as totally different versions of... | 31m 19s | ||||||
| 10/31/25 | 3.2 Digging Out of Overwhelm: When Capacity Feels Like a Myth | In this week’s episode, Laura and Claire get real about what it looks like when life tips from busy to buried. Laura confesses to nearly ending up in Southwest Airlines jail after a full-blown airport meltdown, while Claire shares her own spiral into chaos courtesy of a nightmare insurance claim. Together, they unpack why overwhelm sneaks in even when everything looks “fine,” how to recognize when your tank’s actually empty, and why doing hard things (like trail running, emotional honesty, ... | 26m 40s | ||||||
| 10/17/25 | 3.1 Are We Over-Therapized? When Healing Becomes a Hobby | You’ve got boundaries, triggers, and toxic traits—but do you have a therapist? 👀 In this episode, Laura and Claire unpack the rise of therapy-speak and how we’ve turned healing into a hobby and trauma into a TikTok trend. From calling your ex a narcissist (because a girl on Instagram said so) to diagnosing your boss as “emotionally unavailable,” we’re all fluent in self-help now—just not always fluent in self-awareness. 🧠 What we get into: • How “doing the work” t... | 24m 07s | ||||||

Looking back at Season 2's most memorable moments, the hosts celebrate their guest superlatives and reflect on their own vulnerability throughout the season. From Laura's intimate disclosures in the very first episode to Claire's revealing stories, they've created a space where authenticity reigns s... | 28m 30s | ||||||

| 6/20/25 | 2.19 Midlife Crisis: Myth or Meltdown? | What if your so-called midlife crisis is actually a breakthrough in disguise? In this refreshingly honest and often funny episode, Claire reveals that she rarely sees classic midlife meltdowns in her practice—no impulsive sports cars or dramatic divorces. Instead, she sees people wrestling with big life transitions, especially when the kids move out and questions of purpose move in. Rather than chaos, it's often grief and growth that define this phase. Hosts Laura and Claire take on the myth ... | 33m 13s | ||||||
