Hi friends,
I’m so excited to share that the creative project I’ve been working on for months is finally here! My new podcast, Checking In with Dr. Therese, is officially live, and the first three episodes are dropping tomorrow, Thursday, October 23. (You can listen to a sneak peek above—just press play!)
Most wellness podcasts talk at you. This one sits with you.
This podcast is for high-achievers who look like they have it all together but are silently struggling: the overthinkers, the perfectionists, and the eldest daughters who are tired of being the strong one.
You know how sometimes you wish you could just call up your therapist when you’re having a moment? When you’re overthinking something, feeling stuck, or just need someone who gets it to remind you that you’re going to be okay? That’s what this podcast is.
For over a decade, I’ve been in therapy rooms noticing patterns most people never get to see: what happens right before someone breaks through to genuine joy, what keeps people stuck, what actually helps when everything feels heavy.
To read more about what inspired me and the intention behind this podcast (including the name Checking In), check out my last Substack, On Having Something To Say.
In Season 1, we’re diving into:
What to do when joy feels completely out of reach (ep 1)
Why adult friendship feels impossible (ep 2)
Complex shame 101 with psychologist and author Dr. Zoe Shaw (ep 3)
What to do when you’ve wrapped your entire identity around your business or achievements (ep 4)
And much more juicy wellness conversation with some incredible guests along the way!
You’ll walk away feeling less anxious, more connected, and better equipped to build a life you actually love. My mission is simple and one you’ve heard me talk about since the very beginning: to help you build a life you don’t need to escape from.
The first three episodes drop tomorrow. After that, new episodes drop every Thursday. You can watch on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
And since I’ve never launched a podcast before, I’m humbly asking for your help!

If you’re ready to feel less alone and more grounded, you’re in the right place.
With you, Dr. Therese 💜
