I always love engaging with folks! Whether you have a question, want to say hi, or have a topic you want to hear me yap about- I would LOVE to hear from you

in this episode of all our parts, i sit down with the iconic sam southard, better known as the blonde therapist—a trauma therapist, creator, and truth-teller who shows up unapologetically for her community.

together, we unpack what healing actually looks like when the world is on fire. we talk trauma bonds, collective grief, and the complicated layers of doing this work while also just… being a person. sam shares how she navigates social media as both a therapist and a human, the role of advocacy in the healing process, and why community care is essential—not optional.

this episode is for the ones holding too much. the helpers, the feelers, the ones learning how to hold boundaries and softness at the same time.

if you’ve ever asked yourself, “how do i keep showing up without losing myself?”—this one’s for you.
