    In this episode, we get into two of our favorite things to talk about: athletics and mental health. As former collegiate athletes, we talk about the impacts of team culture on the mental health of the athletes. This is an ongoing topic of discussion, so there's more to come in future episodes!

    TRIGGER WARNING: At the beginning of the episode we discuss some statistics related to mental health in athletes. The rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation in athletes is highlighted.

    As many of us are finding our new routines this school year, we address the challenges and impacts of mental health on students, parents, and families. We share some tips on how to combat the challenges that come with the school year and possible resources that could be helpful as well. We hope you enjoy this episode!

  • 10: Boundaries, Part 2
    Jul 28 2024

    You asked, we listened! On this episode of the podcast, we discuss boundaries further: personal, professional, social, and family. We give some tangible takeaways you can start to implement in your own life in order to protect your peace. And for those looking for the quote I royally butchered at the end of the episode, here it is: "No is necessary magic. No draws a circle around you with chalk and says, 'I have given enough.'"

    Spring and early summer have been very busy and full of change for both of us. So we went into this episode with no expectations, wanting to talk about our boundaries as therapists. We explore the challenges of implementing and maintaining boundaries, as well as the benefits of doing so. We share some general expectations for our own boundaries, in addition to what tangible, practical things we do to protect our own peace.
