Description

Welcome to The Spaghetti Wall—the show where we throw big ideas at the wall of life and see what sticks. Hosted by Jason Wilcox, LCSW and Dr. Thaen Saelee. We’re here to talk about mental health, happiness, and what it really means to live well in a world that often feels like it’s spinning out of control. Whether you’re surviving, thriving, or somewhere in between, this podcast is your weekly dose of honest conversations, real tools, and surprising truths. No fluff, no filters—just relatable stories, practical insight, and maybe a little humor along the way. So if you’ve ever asked yourself “Am I okay?”, “Why does life feel so heavy sometimes?”, or “How do I find joy again?”—you’re in the right place. Together, we’re going to explore the messy, beautiful, frustrating, funny, and deeply human parts of this journey. Because here at The Spaghetti Wall, the mess is the method.
