My Therapist Is Out! is taking a little summer break — but don’t worry, we’re not leaving you hanging.

Every two weeks, our queer therapists will still be sliding into your feed with bite-sized mental health check-ins.

Think of it as your gentle reminder to pause, breathe, and take care of your sweet self.

And if you're out there organizing, protesting, showing up in your full activist heart — we see you. Just a reminder: rest is part of the work. You don’t have to burn out to prove your commitment. Breaks are necessary. Breaks are allowed. You deserve sustainability, not just survival.

New full episodes return soon — but until then, we’ve got you.

Queer Moment of Joy Guest: Kyle Flentie @kyleflentie, Jennifer Messina @jennifercmessina, Jak Tafalla-Vargas @igobyjak
