Let Me Be Mad: Grief, Growth & Uncomfortable Conversations

The Story

This week, Stef reflects on anger, grief, and the uncomfortable conversations many people don't have. What starts as an unexpected reminder of both of her parents turns into a deeper exploration of loss, guilt, and the complicated reality of how the people we love continue to shape us long after they're gone.

Along the way, she shares thoughts on therapist burnout, insurance clawbacks, and why she's no longer interested in making herself smaller to keep other people comfortable. From feeling left out of conversations about parents to creating space for therapists to speak honestly about the realities of the profession, this episode explores what happens when we stop avoiding difficult emotions and start talking about them instead.
