| 5/28/26 | 330: The Nuance of Mental Health and Showing Up Online | In this solo episode, I reflect on a topic that’s been on my mind and explore the complexity and nuance of mental health, especially in online spaces. As someone who shares both personal and professional experiences with OCD and anxiety, I’ve noticed the pressure to reflect so many different experiences within just a few of my posts.

| 4/9/26 | 324: Relationship OCD and Milestones (Anniversaries, Moving In, Engagement, and More) | Milestones like anniversaries, engagements, and other "big" moments can bring up pressure, doubt, and intrusive thoughts for those navigating relationship OCD. When there's a pressure of how a day "should" feel or look like, this can create an extra layer of meaning, making thoughts feel more urgent and significant than they really are. In this episode, I reflect on recently celebrating my wedding anniversary and how my relationship to my intrusive thoughts has shifted over time. I shar... | 34m 40s | ||||||

| 2/26/26 | 318: When OCD and Anxiety Show Up in Friendships | To wrap up this month's focus on relationships and OCD, I dive deep into how OCD and anxiety can show up in platonic relationships. In this solo episode, I talk about common friendship-based compulsions (including reassurance seeking, mental reviewing, confessing, avoidance), the fear of being seen as "too much," recognizing patterns of rumination, and practicing self-compassion instead of self-shame.

In this solo episode, I talk about how Valentine's Day, especially social media posts, can amplify ROCD thoughts, even if you're not in a relationship. I dive deep into the importance of slowing down, self-compassion, and noticing thoughts without needing to assign meaning or turn them into answers. If this... | 48m 44s | ||||||
| 1/29/26 | 314: Black-and-White Thinking Around Morality & Showing Up Anyway | In this solo episode, I acknowledge how oppression and the systems we live in inherently impact mental health and one's sense of safety (if not directly), from what's happening in the US to the experiences of those living under oppression. I hold space for all the emotions that come from witnessing harm caused by systems of power, including ICE and the US government, to those fighting for freedom in Iran, for those trying to simply survive in Gaza, and more. I get into what it can look ... | 39m 06s | ||||||
