Welcome to Friends with (therapy) Benefits, the mental health podcast for women who are really good at holding everything together, even when it's costing them something.
Hosted by Elizabeth Mae Carr, a licensed therapist, recovering overachiever, and oldest daughter, this podcast brings therapy insights out of the therapy room and into your everyday life.
We're talking people-pleasing, perfectionism, anxiety, burnout, boundaries, relationships, and the complicated business of figuring out who you are when you're not busy being who everyone else needs you to be. Think of it as therapy tidbits for people who aren't in therapy, can't access therapy, or are already in therapy and want a little more to think about between sessions. Expect honest conversations, practical tools, listener questions, a little humor, and plenty of moments that make you think, "Wait. I do that."
New 15-minute minisodes every Monday morning, plus a full-length episode each month for when we need to get into it.
Because you don't have to be falling apart to start paying attention to your mental health. And you don't have to figure everything out on your own.
