Celeste The Therapist Podcast

Daily Shift 166: You can't control the news cycle but you can control your nervous system The news is a lot right now. And for people who are already anxious, consuming it without boundaries is like pouring gasoline on a fire. In today's episode, Celeste talks about the difference between staying informed and staying dysregulated — and gives you a practical framework for protecting your nervous system in a world that is constantly demanding your attention and your anxiety. You can care about what's happening in the world and still protect your peace. Those two things are not in conflict. If the news cycle has been hijacking your nervous system, this one will help you take it back. Today's shift: Set one boundary around your news and social media consumption today — and replace that time with one thing that regulates you instead. visit the wellness center stwyt.com  Events Store Follow Celeste podcast page on tick tock , facebook and instagram Follow STWYT Wellness center on tick tock , facebook and instagram

How many times have you said — once things settle down, I'll start. Once the uncertainty passes, I'll make the plan. Once I feel less anxious, I'll show up fully. In today's episode, Celeste addresses one of the most common ways anxiety keeps us stuck — the waiting room. The place where we put our lives on hold until conditions are perfect. Spoiler: the conditions are never going to be perfect. And your life is happening right now. If you've been living in the waiting room, this one is going to challenge you to walk out of it. Today's shift: Identify one thing you've been postponing until things calm down — and take one small step toward it today anyway. visit the wellness center stwyt.com  Events Store Follow Celeste podcast page on tick tock , facebook and instagram Follow STWYT Wellness center on tick tock , facebook and instagram

SHOW NOTES Uncertainty is one of the hardest things for the human nervous system to sit with. When we don't know what's coming — financially, relationally, professionally, collectively — anxiety fills the gap. In today's episode, Celeste talks about what to do when the ground beneath you feels unsteady, and how to find your footing not by controlling what's outside of you but by anchoring what's inside of you. If you've been feeling unmoored by everything that's uncertain right now, this one will give you something solid to stand on. Today's shift: Identify three things that are certain in your life right now — and let yourself stand on those today. visit the wellness center stwyt.com  Events Store Follow Celeste podcast page on tick tock , facebook and instagram Follow STWYT Wellness center on tick tock , facebook and instagram

 Most people use the words worry and anxiety interchangeably — but they're actually two very different experiences that require two very different responses. In today's episode, Celeste breaks down the distinction between worry and anxiety, why knowing the difference matters, and how to stop treating them the same way when they show up. Understanding which one you're dealing with in any given moment is one of the most practical tools you can have. If you've ever wondered whether what you're feeling is normal worry or something deeper, this one will help you figure it out. Today's shift: The next time your mind starts spinning, pause and ask yourself — is this worry or anxiety? Then respond accordingly.   visit the wellness center stwyt.com  Events Store Follow Celeste podcast page on tick tock , facebook and instagram Follow STWYT Wellness center on tick tock , facebook and instagram  

If you've ever tried to logic your way out of anxiety — telling yourself there's nothing to worry about, that everything is fine, that you're being irrational — you already know it doesn't work. In today's episode, Celeste explains exactly why thinking harder is not the solution to anxiety, and what actually works instead. This one is going to change how you approach your anxious moments completely. If you've been trying to reason with your anxiety and losing every time, this one is for you. Today's shift: The next time anxiety shows up, stop trying to think your way out — and do one thing to regulate your body instead.

SHOW NOTES So many people walk around feeling ashamed of their anxiety. Like it means they're weak, or broken, or not faithful enough, or not strong enough to handle life. In today's episode, Celeste reframes anxiety completely — not as a personal failure but as a biological response that was designed to protect you. Understanding what anxiety actually is changes everything about how you relate to it. If you've been judging yourself for being anxious, this one will change how you see yourself.   visit the wellness center stwyt.com  Events Store Follow Celeste podcast page on tick tock , facebook and instagram Follow STWYT Wellness center on tick tock , facebook and instagram

 If you've been feeling more anxious, more exhausted, more on edge than usual — there's a reason. The world is a lot right now. The economy, the news, the uncertainty about what's coming next. In today's episode, Celeste names what's happening collectively and gives you permission to stop gaslighting yourself about why you feel the way you feel. You're not weak. You're not broken. You're a human being responding to a genuinely hard moment in history. If you've been wondering why you can't just shake it off, this one will explain why — and give you somewhere to start. Today's shift: Stop telling yourself you shouldn't feel this way — and start acknowledging that what you're carrying is real. visit the wellness center stwyt.com  Events Store Follow Celeste podcast page on tick tock , facebook and instagram Follow STWYT Wellness center on tick tock , facebook and instagram

   This is the episode Celeste saved for last. Because after everything — the naming, the normalizing, the hard kinds of grief, the guilt, the fear of moving forward — it all comes down to this. You are allowed to be okay again. Not because the loss didn't matter. Not because you're over it. But because you survived it. And surviving it is not something to feel guilty about. It's something to honor. If any part of you has been waiting for permission to feel okay — this is it. Today's shift: Let yourself be okay today. Just today. Without guilt, without explanation, without apology.                 `              

One of the biggest fears people have in grief is that healing means forgetting. That if you start to feel better, it means the person or the relationship or the loss didn't matter enough. In today's episode, Celeste makes a distinction that changes everything — moving forward and moving on are not the same thing. You can carry someone with you and still choose to live fully. You can honor what you lost without staying stuck in it forever. If the fear of forgetting has been keeping you from healing, this one will give you permission to move. Today's shift: Identify one small way you can move forward today — without feeling like you're leaving anything behind. visit the wellness center stwyt.com  Events Store Follow Celeste podcast page on tick tock , facebook and instagram Follow STWYT Wellness Center on tick tock , facebook and instagram

TITLE Daily Shift 156: Grief and guilt are not the same thing  Grief and guilt often show up together — and for a lot of people they become so tangled it's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. Did I do enough? Should I have said something sooner? Could I have prevented this? In today's episode, Celeste untangles grief from guilt and helps you understand why carrying both at the same time is one of the heaviest things a person can do — and how to start setting one of them down. If guilt has become part of your grief, this one will help you separate the two. Today's shift: Identify one guilty thought you've been carrying inside your grief — and examine whether it's actually true. visit the wellness center stwyt.com  Events Store Follow Celeste podcast page on tick tock , facebook and instagram Follow Celeste Personal Page on tick tock , facebook and instagram

 There's a particular kind of grief that almost nobody talks about — the grief of a life that never happened. The marriage you thought you'd have by now. The career that didn't go the way you planned. The family you imagined that looks nothing like reality. The version of yourself you thought you'd be at this age. In today's episode, Celeste talks about grieving the imagined life — and why letting go of who you thought you'd be is one of the most important and most overlooked parts of healing. If you've been quietly mourning a future that didn't happen, this one will give you permission to feel it fully. Today's shift: Name the life you thought you'd have — and give yourself permission to grieve the gap between that and where you are now. Today's shift: Stop waiting for closure to come from the outside — and start creating it from within. visit the wellness center stwyt.com  Events Store   Follow Celeste podcast page on tick tock , facebook and instagram Follow Celeste Personal Page on tick tock , facebook and instagram

Some of the hardest grief to carry is the kind that came without warning. No chance to say what needed to be said. No closure. No final conversation. Just here one day and gone the next — whether that's a death, a relationship that ended abruptly, or a door that closed before you were ready. In today's episode, Celeste talks about what it means to grieve without closure and why waiting for it might be keeping you stuck. If you're carrying a loss that never got a proper ending, this one is for you. Today's shift: Stop waiting for closure to come from the outside — and start creating it from within. visit the wellness center stwyt.com Follow Celeste podcast page on tick tock , facebook and instagram Follow Celeste Personal Page on tick tock , facebook and instagram

One of the most confusing and isolating forms of grief is grieving someone who hasn't died. A parent who was never really present. A friendship that slowly disappeared. A relationship that ended but the person is still there in your life, on your phone, on your social media. In today's episode, Celeste talks about ambiguous loss — the grief that doesn't come with a funeral, a casserole, or permission from anyone around you to fall apart. If you're mourning a relationship with someone who is still alive and don't know how to make sense of what you're feeling, this one will help you name it. Today's shift: Give yourself permission to grieve this relationship — even though the person is still here. visit the wellness center stwyt.com Follow Celeste podcast page on tick tock , facebook and instagram Follow Celeste Personal Page on tick tock , facebook and instagram Follow the wellness center on tick tock , facebook and instagram

Most people have heard of the five stages of grief — denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. And most people think they're supposed to move through them in order, check each one off, and come out healed on the other side. But that's not what the research says, and it's not what grief actually looks like in real life. In today's episode, Celeste sets the record straight on the stages of grief — what they were actually meant to do, and why forcing yourself through a checklist might be making your healing harder, not easier. If you've ever felt like you're grieving wrong, this one will give you a lot of relief. Today's shift: Let go of the timeline you think you're supposed to be on — and trust where you actually are today. visit the wellness center stwyt.com Follow Celeste podcast page on tick tock , facebook and instagram Follow Celeste Personal Page on tick tock , facebook and instagram Follow the wellness center on tick tock , facebook and instagram

   When loss hits, one of the first things people say is "stay strong." And most of us comply — because we were taught that strength means not falling apart. But what if the most courageous thing you could do right now is stop performing strength and actually feel what's there? In today's episode, Celeste challenges the idea that holding it together is the same as healing — and gives you permission to put the armor down. If you've been the strong one for so long you don't even know how to stop, this one is for you. Today's shift: Identify one place in your life where you've been performing strength — and give yourself permission to just be human there today. visit the wellness center stwyt.com Follow Celeste podcast page on tick tock , facebook and instagram Follow Celeste Personal Page on tick tock , facebook and instagram Follow the wellness center on tick tock , facebook and instagram

We tend to think of grief as something that happens in our heads — the thoughts, the memories, the sadness. But grief is just as much a body experience as it is an emotional one. The tightness in your chest. The exhaustion that won't lift. The way your appetite disappears or takes over completely. In today's episode, Celeste breaks down what grief actually does to your nervous system — and why taking care of your body is not separate from processing your loss. It's part of it. If you've been wondering why you feel grief physically, this one will help you understand what's actually happening inside you. Today's shift: Check in with your body today — not your thoughts. Notice where you're holding it.

  When most people hear the word grief, they think about losing someone to death. But grief shows up in so many other places — the end of a relationship, a friendship that faded, a version of yourself you had to leave behind, a life that didn't go the way you planned. In today's episode, Celeste opens up the grief conversation by expanding what we're even allowed to grieve in the first place. If you've ever felt a deep loss but told yourself it didn't count because nobody died, this one is for you. Today's shift: Name one thing you've been carrying as sadness that you haven't yet given yourself permission to call grief. https://www.instagram.com/celeste.the.therapist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@celestethetherapist    

Not everyone has to live at full speed. But somewhere along the way, wanting a slower, calmer life got labeled as laziness — or worse, as not being ambitious enough. In today's episode, Celeste closes out the burnout cluster with the most honest question of all: what if the pace you've been keeping was never actually yours to begin with? This one is about more than burnout recovery. It's about choosing, maybe for the first time, the life you actually want. Today's shift: Name the pace you actually want and take one step today to protect it.

Two days off won't undo months of depletion. Real recovery from burnout is slower, quieter, and more intentional than a quick reset. In today's episode, Celeste talks about why we keep expecting a weekend to fix what took months to build — and what sustainable recovery actually looks like. If you've tried to rest and still don't feel better, this one will explain why. Today's shift: Choose one sustainable habit — not one big reset. Stwyt.com/events

 Daily Shift 147: You can't pour from a regulated nervous system you don't have Everyone's heard "you can't pour from an empty cup." But what happens when the cup itself is broken? In today's episode, Celeste takes that idea deeper — into your nervous system. Because it's not just about being full. It's about being regulated. And if your system is dysregulated, no amount of rest or self-care will stick until you address what's underneath. If you keep trying to take care of everyone else while running on fumes, this one will change how you think about it. Today's shift: Do one regulation practice before you give anything to anyone today.

   Somewhere along the way, most of us learned that slowing down means you're not serious. That doing less means you don't care enough. In today's episode, Celeste challenges that belief directly — and makes the case that reducing your load isn't quitting. It's one of the most courageous things you can do when you're running on empty. If guilt shows up every time you try to slow down, this one is for you. Today's shift: Identify one thing you can put down today — without guilt.

Your body has been trying to talk to you. The tension in your shoulders. The foggy mind. The short fuse. The exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix. In today's episode, Celeste breaks down what it actually looks like when your nervous system is sending distress signals — and why so many of us have learned to ignore them. If you've been pushing through signals your body has been sending for a while, this one will help you start listening again. Today's shift: Notice one signal today — and instead of overriding it, listen.

 Burnout doesn't happen in a day. It's the result of a hundred small moments where you pushed through, ignored the signs, and kept going because that's what you were taught to do. In today's episode, Celeste breaks down how we end up depleted — and why the buildup was never your fault. If you've been beating yourself up for burning out, this one will give you some relief. Today's shift: Stop blaming yourself for the buildup. Awareness is where the healing starts.

Burnout doesn't always announce itself. Sometimes it looks like staying busy, going numb, or just feeling nothing while you keep showing up. In today's episode, Celeste talks about the quiet version of burnout — the one that hides behind productivity and performance — and why you don't have to hit rock bottom to say "this is too much." If you've been telling yourself you're fine while running on empty, this one is for you. Today's shift: You don't have to fix anything — just name where you actually are.

Colon cancer is no longer just a concern for older adults. More and more younger people are being diagnosed — often at later stages. In this episode, I sit down with board-certified medical oncologist Dr. Avishek Kumar to talk about why this shift is happening and what people need to start paying attention to. We explore how symptoms are often dismissed or misdiagnosed, the patterns he's seeing firsthand, and the critical warning signs that should never be ignored. This is a conversation about awareness, advocacy, and learning how to listen to your body before small signals become bigger concerns. In this episode, we discuss: Why colon cancer is increasing in younger adults The "too young" mindset that delays diagnosis Symptoms that are often overlooked or minimized The importance of early detection How to start advocating for your health If something feels off in your body, it's worth paying attention to.

In today's Daily Shift, we explore what to do when a boundary keeps getting crossed — and why repeating yourself isn't the answer. A boundary isn't just what you say.

In this episode, we're having a conversation that many people avoid—but one that needs to be talked about more openly. Sibling sexual abuse is often misunderstood, minimized, or never acknowledged at all. Because of that, many individuals carry the impact of these experiences into adulthood without language, support, or validation. In this conversation, we explore what sibling sexual abuse actually is, why it's so often overlooked, and how it can affect someone emotionally, psychologically, and within their relationships over time. We also talk about what healing can begin to look like—especially when someone is just starting to make sense of their experience. This episode is not easy, but it is important. If this is something that resonates with you, you're not alone—and support is available. In this episode, we discuss: What sibling sexual abuse is and why it's often misunderstood How families and systems may minimize or overlook these experiences The long-term emotional and psychological impact The role of shame, silence, and confusion What healing and support can look like   Purchase on Amazon- Sibiling Sexual Abuse About Brad: Brad Watts is a licensed professional counselor and certified sex offender treatment provider in Knoxville, TN, specializing in treatment of survivors of complex trauma, as well as individuals and families where sibling sexual abuse has occurred.
