Description

Broke Girl Therapy is a place to get real, laugh, and maybe cry a little. It is your weekly safe space with Stefanie Maegan and co-host Rose McAleese. They talk about dating, sex, relationships, love, heartbreak, friendships, and career chaos. Stefanie started the podcast because she couldn’t afford therapy or keep a man, and now she is in a healthy long-term relationship, while Rose is still navigating the dating world and her fear of commitment. They bring different perspectives but share a common theme: no matter what stage you are in life, we are all just trying to figure it out. They’re not professionals, but they bring experts on for guidance and love featuring guests with different perspectives to provide representation and remind listeners they’re not alone. With the safe space of girlhood at the heart of the podcast, they explore life’s messy, hilarious, and emotional moments together, because therapy is too expensive.

I’m back with another throwback rerun while we’re on break and this one is a CLASSIC 😭 In “Eat The Groceries” (2018), I’m joined by Jafra, and we get into the art of ass eating, anal prep, sexual frustration, fantasies, roleplay, and why being a little wild and curious is basically self care. It’s unfiltered, chaotic, and way too funny. Enjoy the nostalgia  and I’ll be back with new episodes in February!!

In the middle of a chaotic world, I wanted to run it back to 2021 with one of my favorite throwbacks: Chaotic Advice feat HK Brains, Jess Clarke, and of course Rose. This episode really means a lot to me because it came at a time when I needed an escape. I had just lost my job, reality felt heavy, and being able to sit with my friends and laugh until my stomach hurt was honestly everything. Life is so fucking serious sometimes, but it’s okay to pause, be with your people, and let yourself enjoy the moment. Press play if you need a little break and a big belly laugh.

As we take this hiatus, I still wanted to feed you some fun throwback episodes you probably forgot existed. This episode is from 2020, and it is one of my all time favorites because it is the first time I ever told Rose about Bryan, back when he was just “Chris Bay Bae” lmao. Listening back is WILD now that we are actually engaged, so I thought this would be a special little full circle moment for us.

Rachel joins us on da pod and we read listener emails and give advice as three reformed Catholics. The emails take us from moving in with a partner before marriage and how to navigate it when you are Christian, your partner is atheist, and your parents are stressed. Then we spiral into proposal talk, Catholic flashbacks, confession secrets, ghosts, and why men love to talk a big game and do absolutely nothing. Plus, “Aries” is back with an update on a divorced high school ex, long distance lust, and where the line is between fun curiosity and a nervous system crash.

Ann from the We Signed an NDA podcast is here and we talk about way more than pop culture. We briefly touch the Vanderpump world, then we get real about Asian American identity, family trauma, bipolar disorder, learning boundaries as an adult, dating in LA post pandemic, sexuality, and how humor can be a survival tool.

In this episode, I sit down with clinical psychologist and couples therapist Dr. Molly Burrets to unpack why so many of us keep ending up in the same relationship with a different face. We talk about how our childhoods quietly shape who we are drawn to, why those intense butterflies can actually be anxiety, and what it really looks like to hit rock bottom in love and choose differently. We also get into attachment styles, people pleasing, abandonment wounds, hyper independence, and how all of this shows up in our friendships, our romantic lives, and even how we think about becoming parents one day. If you have ever questioned your patterns, minimized your own experience, or struggled to find closure, this one is going to sit in your chest in the best way.

In this state of the world, politics is such a heavy topic. We are not here to debate policies or convince anyone where to stand. Instead, this episode is about how politics has become the thing that cracks open old wounds in my family, and maybe yours too. As I try to navigate the political differences in my family and in the world, I am also navigating what it means to finally face the family trauma I have avoided for years. If you have ever felt caught in the middle of loving your people and questioning their beliefs, this one is for you.

We’re getting a little scholarly about sex and connection!!!! We sit down with Nadege, also known as Pleasure Science, a sex scholar who breaks down the science behind how we flirt, love, and connect. We brought her on because, honestly, I have no idea what my flirting style even is. Am I playful? Sincere? Shy? All of the above? We also dive deep into asexuality and demisexuality, two identities that are often misunderstood. Before I go around calling myself demisexual, I wanted to actually educate myself on what that means, and who better to help me unpack it than a sex scholar herself? So tune in to find out what my real flirting style is, if I can officially call myself a demisexual, and maybe even discover what your flirting style is. Do you resonate with being demisexual or asexual? Let’s find out together!!!

We’ve always shown support for the ENM (ethical non-monogamy) community, but I understand there are still a lot of skeptics out there. Rose is definitely one of them, but in my opinion I think she’s more capable of being poly than she realizes. That’s why I brought Vanessa on the pod to share her insight and maybe even convince Rose that she’s a little more poly than she thinks she is 👀 Send us your questions and stories to be featured on da pod https://www.brokegirltherapy.com/contact-page Support our sponsors and BGT by using the codes below: BetterHelp: As a listener, you’ll get 10% off your first month by visiting our sponsor at BetterHelp.com/brokegirl Mood: Mood.com PROMO CODE: BROKEGIRL for 20% off your first order Dipsea: DIPSEAstories.com/brokegirl Stefanie Maegan https://www.instagram.com/brokegirltherapy/ https://www.instagram.com/stefaniemaegan/ Rose McAleese https://www.instagram.com/rose_ettastone/ https://thenewblogontheblock.com/ Vanessa Duffy https://www.instagram.com/vanessaduffy/ Learn more about your ad choices.

I finally got to cross off one of my dream guests from my dream list…the woman who CREATED Rose. If you know Rose, you know she’s big, loud, unapologetic, always fighting for women’s rights, and embracing girlhood at every turn. But where does she get it from? WHO RAISED HER?!?! On this episode, I sit down with Rose’s mom, Kathy, to talk about what it was like to be a mother to Rose, what motherhood meant for her in general, and who she was before she became “Mom.” We also dive into the different generations of womanhood and  the ways Kathy’s generation walked so that we could RUN.

Tyler Prince is back! It’s been a while since his last appearance when he opened up about manifesting the right woman. But this time we’re going deeper. Is Tyler really different from the guys so many of us have dated, or are we just projecting and assuming he’s like the rest? Steff peels back the layers to find out who Tyler Prince really is and whether he fits into the category of men we have all come across before.

This week on Broke Girl Therapy, I sit down with Michael Hollice, the Founder and Creative Director of The Play, an ethical play party and sex positive space built on health, consent, intimacy, and artistry. Michael and I talk about how being a reformed “player” led him to embrace the ENM lifestyle, the inspiration behind creating The Play, and why it is so important to normalize conversations about the many spectrums of relationships, especially within the POC community. With over 100 curated events in the ENM and polyamorous scenes, Michael brings so much knowledge, experience, and insight into what ethical non monogamy looks like in practice. If you have ever been curious about The Play, this episode will answer your questions, challenge old ideas about relationships, and maybe even inspire a new way of thinking about love, intimacy, and connection.

This week on BGT, I’m joined by Vanessa Duffy, and I’m so excited for you guys to meet her. The very first sex party I ever went to was actually Vanessa’s, and my first impression of her was how bold, confident, and unapologetic she is when it comes to owning her sexuality. We talk about her journey as both bisexual and demisexual. If you don’t know, being demisexual means you don’t really feel sexual attraction unless there’s a strong emotional connection, which honestly feels a lot like me too. We get into how these identities shape intimacy, relationships, and self-discovery, and we also ask the bigger questions like… is being demisexual shaped by trauma, our childhood, or are we just born this way?
