- In this episode, I take a moment to reflect on the past year and a half of podcasting and share some valuable insights and lessons I've learned along the way. With my fiancé by my side for moral support, I dive into the challenges and successes of being a public figure and the unexpected journey that podcasting has taken me on.
I discuss the moderate success of my podcast and its typical listenership. I open up about the transition from being a therapist known to a small circle of people to becoming a public figure and the impact it has had on my life. I share the joys of connecting with guests and forming genuine friendships through the podcast, highlighting some of the incredible individuals I've had the privilege of interviewing.
As I reflect on the past year, I also delve into the lessons I've learned from being chronically ill and the adjustments I've had to make in my personal and professional life. I discuss the importance of setting boundaries, the challenges of managing expectations, and the pet peeves that come with being a public figure. I offer advice for those who are interested in getting into podcasting on how to balance consideration for your own needs with those of your host and audience. I also share about my process of adjusting to chronic illness and opening a consulting practice.
Looking ahead to the future, I share my goals and hopes for the podcast, including bringing back previous guests for follow-up episodes and exploring new formats and collaborations. I express my desire to deepen connections with colleagues and organizations, such as Do No Harm, Critical Therapy Antidote, and Open Therapy Institute. I also express my intention to expand the podcast beyond gender issues and explore a wider range of psychology topics.

As a podcast listener my one pet peeve is when i want to follow the guest but the host has a generic description on the video and no links to the guest's digital and then i have to look them up, and it's worse when the host says to check out the guest or that they'll put the links in the description but they don't
There is literally an epidemic of people not reading instructions. I don't get it. Most problems can be solved by reading the instructions, it's pretty simple...
