Stef is back with a Selling Sunset recap full of chaos—leather fireplaces, $30K shrubs, and men who “don’t eat vegetables”—before diving into something real: positive self-talk and how we speak to and about ourselves and how that can make or break your healing journey.Follow along on IG & TikTok: @mytherapistsaidpodNew episodes every Friday. 🎧
Stef kicks off Season 2 with a chaotic Hinge date, therapist burnout, and a clear take on manipulation and mental health. Truth is, everyone can manipulate and it’s a choice to use it. Stop trying to “teach” toxic people; your power is setting boundaries and walking away. Being single isn’t a problem—it’s self-respect. HAPPY SEASON TWO!
Stef is back with the forgotten September episode — and she’s starting strong with Netflix's Unknown Number, a doc that hit way too close to home. She opens up about her own real-life stalking story and the way society still dismisses psychological abuse, before diving into why we keep undermining emotional intelligence and calling Gen Z “too sensitive.” Then Stef gets real about burnout, the therapy system, and why speaking out about broken structures isn’t negativity — it’s advocacy.Follow along on IG & TikTok: @mytherapistsaidpod — New episodes every Friday.

This week Stef takes on existential crises (aka: why are we here and why does it feel so weird?). She answers some IG questions—some she nailed, some she had absolutely NO clue. Existential dread? Easy. Private practice? LOL nope. Also, Bubs update: he’s officially a prank king sneaking onto the couch like it’s his stage.
This week, Stef gets real about her addiction journey — aka how being “too fun at parties” turned into being no fun at all (unless you count oversharing on a podcast). She talks drugs, recovery, and and why even puppy yoga couldn’t make her chill.

Stef is Fresh Out of Empathy this week!!! We are diving all the way in — from pop culture moments to the chaos of comment sections, to why the world feels so loud right now. She’s unpacking how we can shift from talking to actually listening, and closing it out with why she refuses to make “I love my job” content (and the real reason people can’t handle therapists complaining). Buckle up… we have some things to SAY!
This week, Stef tackles the topic of regret and how it can impact our lives. She opens up about her own struggles with internal conflict and the discomfort that comes from disagreeing with ourselves and our own choices. Stef flips this into a mental health moment, explaining why she refuses to date guys who regret their tattoos and what that says about self-acceptance. Want to know how it all ties together? Tune in and find out!
In this episode, Stef shares what it’s like to take full ownership of her life and how she learned to heal herself through the process of "reparenting". She dives into breaking intergenerational patterns with acceptance and the messy, empowering process of turning survival into ownership. If you are ready to start treating yourself like you always wished, this episode is for you.
This week Stef gets into Mexico City, Outside Lands, and why fun isn’t always… comfortable. As a self-proclaimed solo travel queen, she’s always one wrong turn away from being lost in a new city — and honestly, that’s the point. Stef talks about why getting uncomfortable is actually good for you, and how the chaos of “fun” made her appreciate home life even more.
“So, tell me about yourself.” Ugh, our fave question to hate. This week, Stefanie shares how changing just the beginning of her narrative shifted everything—from how she felt telling it, to how it was received. Whether you're stuck in your own script or just tired of being misunderstood, this episode is your invitation to reframe, reclaim, and maybe even rewrite the way you show up in your story.
In this raw and reflective solo episode, Stef shares the story of moving to New York City in the middle of deep grief — and the lessons learned about letting go, starting over, and trusting that gut feeling when something just isn’t right. From navigating loss to finding unexpected clarity, Stef opens up about how to pivot when life doesn’t go as planned, whether by choice or by force. If you’ve ever felt like the rug was pulled out from under you and had to find a new way forward, this one’s for you.
In this week’s episode, Stef dives in. Inspired by some spicy internet hate, she unpacks what it feels like to be misunderstood and why that doesn’t have to shake your sense of self. She gets into the power of “I” statements, the nuance of holding multiple truths, and the radical idea that not every argument needs a winner. Hot take—just because someone disagrees with you doesn’t mean they’re wrong... and it definitely doesn’t mean you are. This one’s all about intention, maturity, and keeping your peace when the comments get loud.
In this week’s episode, “It Is Just a Tuesday,” Stef lays it all out. From unpaid internships to running a private practice, she reflects on the emotional toll of being a therapist in a system that constantly fails its providers. If we’re gonna make “mental health cutie” a lifestyle, we’ve gotta start by fixing the system that’s chewing up the people doing the healing.
In this special interview episode, Stefanie is joined by her long-time friend and former coworker, Crystal. The two reflect on their decade-long friendship, born under fluorescent lights at Nordstrom, where they bonded over low self-esteem, late-night SKU counts, and learning how to step into their power. From healing to hype sessions, this conversation is a reminder that the right people will find you — and when they do, they might just stick around for life.
This episode is about friends.
Stef dives into friendship, more specifically, the role that loss of friends has played in her own life. So if you're wondering how to be a friend, make friends, or let go of those you are not friends with anymore, listen in!
