Broke Girl Therapy

A few weeks ago, I was a guest on my friend Calinnah's brand new podcast Cozy with Calinnah. She actually interviewed me about my journey creating BROKE GIRL THERAPY, content creation, and just my career path in general. You may remember Calinnah, she's been on the pod before. She's a singer-songwriter by night and a nurse by day, which I know a lot of us can relate to: chasing our dreams while still trying to pay the bills. That's exactly what her podcast is about, hearing stories from all kinds of artists and creatives. Feel free to check out Cozy with Calinnah for more amazing stories, but for now, enjoy this episode where she interviews me. I'll have all her links in the description. And as always, if you love BGT, leave a review, give us 5 stars, and spread da love!

This week, Rose is back and honestly, I just needed her energy. The day we recorded, I was deep in a funk. Not the kind where I needed to vent or unpack my feelings. I just needed a friend. Someone who makes me laugh and reminds me I'm not alone. This episode didn't have a set topic or direction. It was two best friends vibing, catching up, and simply being. Sometimes, that's the most healing thing you can do. Just exist with someone who gets you. If you've ever had one of those days where you didn't want to talk about your feelings but just wanted to feel better, this one's for you. Tune in for laughter, love, and real friendship energy.

This week's guest is the hilarious and wildly talented Brittany Brave. She's a comedian, actress, writer, host, and the voice behind the podcast Big Yikes. She's also bringing back her other show Violently Funny. Brittany came over with one thing on her mind…a guy she went on a date with and can't stop thinking about. So naturally, as friends do, even new ones, we drafted the text together. That quickly turned into a full-on spiral and led to a deep conversation about anxious attachment styles and how hard it is to be vulnerable in today's dating culture. Just a quick trigger warning, we do talk about domestic violence in this episode. While there are tons of laughs and jokes, we also get real about some heavy stuff. If you like this episode, give us five stars, leave a review, and share it with your friends. Make sure to subscribe and follow for more content about dating, sex, relationships, and honestly, me and my besties just trying to figure it all out.

Rose and Rachel are back on the pod! It has been a minute since I've had them on together, so you already know the vibes were 100 percent. I was super sick and low on energy while recording this one, so I'm especially grateful to them for carrying the episode with their honesty, warmth, and humor. We read a listener's email that, of course, sparked a deeper conversation about toxic exes. Rachel has shared bits and pieces of her past before, but this time she opened up. Hearing her reflect from a place of healing and self-awareness was powerful. She can hold space for the pain, even the parts she may never fully understand, with compassion and grace. That kind of growth is so honorable to witness. Trigger warning: This episode includes discussions of domestic abuse, so please take care of yourself while listening. Your mental health always comes first. And although the topic might sound heavy, this episode still had so much fun, laughter, and joy. The energy between all of us is something I'm really proud to share. I hope you enjoy it.

I've mentioned Nina on the podcast a bunch of times, but I know a lot of you are probably like, “Wait… who da hell is Nina??” So let me introduce you. From the moment I met Nina, I was drawn to her. She has such a big heart and this naturally kind spirit that made me want to keep good people like her in my life. So I made it a mission to make her my friend. Fast forward to 2016, I witnessed Nina go through one of the most life-changing experiences: becoming a mom. But her journey into motherhood wasn't traditional. She didn't have nine months to prepare. Instead, she quite literally had a baby dropped off at her doorstep and became a mother at just 24 years old. Watching her step into that role with so much grace and strength has been incredibly inspiring. Even if most of us can't fully relate to her exact situation, her story makes you stop and ask yourself, "Would I be able to do that?" It pushes you to reflect on how you'd handle something so unexpected, especially at such a young age.

You know that feeling when you just vibe with a coworker and think, "Yeah, I could definitely hang out with you"? That's Aisha for me, lol. This was actually the first time we made real plans to hang out outside of work. We hadn't had the chance yet to really sit down, talk about life, and get to know each other beyond the day to day. From what I've seen, Aisha is strong, self-aware, and determined. But I can't help but wonder, who is she underneath that tough exterior? Usually, when someone carries themselves with that kind of strength, it's because they've been through their share of heartbreak and hardship. Underneath it all, there's often a softness, shaped by everything they've survived and a heart that's learned to protect itself.

Send us your questions and stories to be featured on da pod https://www.brokegirltherapy.com/contact-page The three of us are back together!! It's been way too long since I've hung out with both Cami and Niki. On this episode, we dive into what it's been like for them to take that next big step, moving in with their significant others. We also unpack how their relationship with sex and self-confidence has evolved since being single. I have this theory: your confidence can shift when you're in a relationship. When we were single, we often looked outward for validation, but in a relationship, you have to relearn where your confidence comes from. It's all about finding that spark again and getting your sexy back.

Send us your questions and stories to be featured on da pod https://www.brokegirltherapy.com/contact-page After hearing the last episode with Rachel, Bryan felt it was important to come on the podcast and share his perspective. As with any story or disagreement, there's always another side and deeper context behind why people say or do certain things. At the end of the day, the heart of Broke Girl Therapy is about creating a safe space for everyone to express themselves,  even if that someone is my boyfriend, who wanted the chance to tell his side of the story.

She's been married for three years, and even though I'm not technically married, I swear I feel like I am. Right now, I relate to her more than ever. In this episode, we dive into the reality of fighting with our partners, how conflict impacts intimacy, and what to do when things in the bedroom start to slow down. How do we navigate this?

The twins are back! In this episode, Niki opens up about a recent fallout with a friend. Since friendships have been a major theme on the podcast, we dive deep into the conflict, exploring how to move forward after an argument.

It's wild how much can change in just five years. If I could go back in time, I'd reassure myself that everything will work out—and that those cringe-worthy mistakes won't define me. As a bonus episode this week, I thought it'd be fun to revisit one of my all-time favorite episodes. Honestly, this one's a gem. I treasure my friendship with Jess and have such fond memories of this era of BGT. And while I loved that time, I'm also really glad I've grown past that stage in my life. LOL.

Fan favorite KEEKZ (formerly known as HK Brains) is back! We chatted about the time I thought I had gonorrhea and chlamydia for about two hours and how he educated us on the importance of regular check-ups.

Before we jump into our interview with Hannah Smith from Love Island USA Season 6, Jessica Clarke is joining us on the podcast to chat about our thoughts on the show and our predictions for who might win. I was thrilled to have Hannah on the podcast because, even though her time in the villa was cut short, she came across as goofy, hilarious, and authentic. We love those types of people on BGT, so I couldn't resist inviting her to discuss her experience on Love Island, her relationship with Kendall, and what it's like watching the show and seeing her friends, along with Kendall, progress in their relationships.

Those who know me or follow me on social media know that I am hooked on Love Island USA! One of the biggest plot lines is the love triangle between Rob, Leah, and the villa's bombshell, Andrea.

Since then, people have reached out wanting to hear an update, so I invited Cami back on the pod to give us the latest on what's been happening. Have they slept together again?

The boys are back, and I always love having them on to chat about the latest developments in their love lives. They often find themselves in situation-ships. Why is that? Are they afraid of getting hurt? Are they choosing the wrong people, or just haven't found "the one" yet? My theory is that guys start acting "too cool" or turn into fckboys because of that one girl who broke their heart. With them in the studio, mics on, I wanted to dive deep and see if they would let their guard down and share the insecurities they've developed from past heartbreaks.

Last week, Cami came on the podcast and opened up about her tumultuous relationship with her neighbor. This week, I decided to have Niki (without Cami) come on the podcast to share her perspective on watching Cami navigate an unhealthy relationship and how she emphasizes on how both have different attachment styles. We explored where their different attachment styles might stem from. Despite being twins raised by the same parents, they have developed very distinct attachment styles. Niki openly talked about her relationship with Cami and their childhood, shedding light on how their upbringing influenced their individual attachment styles.

In my early 20s, I got into my first on-and-off situationship with Deveon. I was young, naive, and still learning how to articulate my feelings and express what I wanted. Thankfully, Deveon was brave enough to come on the podcast, putting himself in a vulnerable position. This allowed me to admit my feelings for him and finally have an honest conversation about how our "friends with benefits" situation wasn't what I wanted.

If you follow Cami & Niki or have listened to earlier episodes, you might be aware of Cami's complicated relationship with her neighbor. Although she has mentioned him before, I wanted to provide Cami with a safe space to share the full story, to be open about her mistakes, and to express her desire to find happiness and move forward. As a friend, it's frustrating to see someone we care about go through something like this, especially when we know they deserve better. I hope that by sharing her experience, Cami can inspire others to seek their own paths to happiness and healing.

21 & Dumb (RE-RUN) For those unaware, I started this podcast back in 2016. At that time, I was considerably younger and less experienced. The focal point of this episode revolves around me, the 25-year-old me, recollecting with Nick about our past romantic encounters when I was 21 and less mature. It's quite ironic that now, as a 33-year-old woman, I'm looking back on my actions from when I was 25, realizing just how youthful and inexperienced I was. While I believed I had matured significantly from age 25, in hindsight, I recognize the substantial growth I've undergone since then. The purpose of these reruns is for me to pause and reflect on my growth journey and where I started. Sometimes, I overlook the fact that there was a time when I longed for everything I currently have. Listening back serves as a means to foster further healing and a reminder that evolution is constant.

I've known JJ since high school, but his dating life has always been a mystery to me. However, one incident stands out in my memory from our early twenties. I walked in on him and a mutual friend engaging in intimate activity. It was unexpected, as I had no clue they were even interested in each other. Ever since then, I've realized that JJ is low-key out here doing this THANG and since I'm nosy, I want to know more.

The last few days Kendrick Lamar and Drake have been writing poetry about each other and battling about who is the worst person ever. Bryan and I have been arguing back and forth about chores, each trying to make the other see where we're coming from. Jokes aside, just because you are in a healthier relationship doesn't mean toxic moments and behaviors don't come up. As two adults, each with our own upbringing, we join forces to build a life together. We bump heads, we say things we don't mean, and then we come together and find a way to resolve the issue. This is the part of being in a relationship that people mean when they say, "Relationships are tough."
