Well welcome back and happy 2023! I'm so glad to see you!

Our first guest of 2023 will also be an Experts Episode! Join me as I talk to host of the podcasts “All The Hard Things”, ERP therapist for NOCD and OCD owner, Jenna Overbaugh!

Welcome to the bonus episodes to wrap up 2022!

This week we talk about anxiety and depression stemming from grief. Come talk with us as we discuss why turtle sitting won’t make you feel better, why moving to New York isn’t as good as your anxiety makes it sound and why locking you and your mom in a closet with a bottle of wine turns out about as well as you think it would.

Join me as I sit down with fitness instructor, yoga instructor and my good friend, Celeste Sanders.

How have we made it to the end of this season y'all? We are going out with a bang with my final guest for season 3. This person is funny as hell and vulnerable and charming. We dive into all things depression, anxiety and the pandemic. We talk about how group therapy is something I clearly need to try because it sounds amazing, why washing your hair is overrated and why you’ll never be able to completely fool your therapist. Stick around as we chat with actress, writer and survivor of the world Lisa Linke!

My guest for this episode was just so funny and easy to talk to and the way she tells her recovery story is nothing but warm and inviting. This week we talk all these trauma responses, people pleasing and codependency! We cover topics like how trauma healing takes real work, how we wish psychics would just be a little more detailed and that sometimes it's not appendicitis... you're just really constipated. Stick around as I talk with comedy writer, funny lady and my good friend Katie Hathaway.

We have finally made it to our experts episode for this season and I am beyond thrilled to tell you my expert is a therapist for the online therapy platform specifically for OCD treatment called NOCD. 

When I tell you I have been about to pop with excitement trying to keep this episode a secret I mean it. NOCD is making huge waves in the mental health world and I actually have a few friends who have been using the platform and love it. 

Come hang out as we discuss all things OCD, ERP recovery and why cleaning all your toys by throwing them into a pool is probably not the best idea. Stick around as I chat with ERP/OCD specialist, IOCD grassroots advocate and therapist for NOCD, Stacy Quick. 

This week we talk all things HSP or highly sensitive persons. We cover topics like the heartfelt origins of her comedy career, her resilience in finding a medication that works for her and how we are basically comedy husbands. Stick around as we chat with stand up comedian and my friend Erin Lok.

This is probably one of the most inspiring episodes of TWBC yet. This week we talk all things depression. We cover topics like advocating for your mental health even if your community isn’t as open, how every bump in the road teaches us a lesson and how you’re worthy today. Stick around as we chat with singer/songwriter, actor, founder of the community Today Worthy and my good friend, Jennifer Chung.

Right off the bat I want to give a trigger warning for this week's episode. There are talks of suicide. My guest comes on to share how she has recovered from her suicidal thoughts, but if you or anyone you know are having thoughts of suicide please call the national suicide hotline at 800-273-8255

I will tell you that I haven't laughed this hard during a recording in quite some time. This week we dive into all things depression, anxiety and abandonment issues. We cover topics like: obsessively documenting your life as a child will set you up to be a screenwriter, Google is not a therapist and puberty definitely doesn't last until you're 25. Stick around as we laugh our butts off with comedian, writer and my friend Onicia Muller.

This week we talk all things BPD or Borderline Personality Disorder. My guest has written a book called "The Way She Feels: My Life On The Borderline in Pictures and Pieces" which you can buy wherever you get your books. We discuss, as she calls, the charcuterie board of mental health issues we all deal with and I finally meet another person who has the same OCD compulsion as me...seriously my brain almost exploded. Stick around for one of my favorite episodes yet as we talk with author, mental health advocate and my friend Courtney Cook.

This week’s guest was absolutely fascinating to me. We take a big vulnerable dive into religious trauma and what that really means. This subject was so juicy and cathartic to me given I was a kid that grew up in the bible belt as well. I never went to the mega churches as a child, but I had friends who did and it always seemed like a whole other world to me. And as a disclaimer I would like to say I or my guest are not bashing organized religion or making fun of people who find peace in it, what we are doing is diving into a very real trauma that can manifest in people’s lives. In fact as of 2011 Religious Trauma is officially recognized is a clinical mental illness just like PTSD and before 2011 was a term thrown around and known in the mental health community. 

Hit play and settle in as we cover topics like why anxiety can make you way too prepared, that the show The Righteous Gemstones is basically just a documentary it’s so accurate and that SNL for Jesus is something I would truly pay to see. Come have a few laughs with me and actor, writer, step cat mom and my good friend Maurie Speed!

Happy New Year! This week’s guest could not have been more perfect for our first episode of the new year. This woman is fiercely funny, talented and wickedly smart. She’s such busy lady in fact I had a podcast first and conducted an interview while my guest drove in her car on the way to her show. If that's not the most badass thing you've ever heard, then I give up. We talk all things dyslexia, finding your voice, advocating for yourself and that sometimes ending up in a completely different country than the one you thought you were headed to for vacay isn’t all that bad.

This week’s episode is a fun one. My guest and I really got to dive into just how hilarious ocd, ptsd and eating disorders are! We cover why blasting Backstreet Boys in the shower for hours on end is ALWAYS a good idea, why being confident in the face of a mental illness is key and that steak sauce is the new jager shot! Stick around as we chat with marketing expert, proud dog mom and my good friend Ashley Calhoun!

Today’s episode is extra special for me because my guest is someone I’m a really big fan of! He is a cartoonist who’s work can be found in the New Yorker and he is the author and illustrator of one of my favorite books Everything Is An Emergency. The book is an autobiographical story about his journey into OCD recovery and it’s funny and honest and really relatable. In this episode we cover topics like why our OCD is really just a cute little animal doing it’s best to protect you, how supportive the OCD community is and how humor and creativity can really be the best medicine. Stick around as I chat with cartoonist, author and illustrator Jason Adam Katzenstein!

This week’s episode we are talking all things panic disorders! Me and my lovely guest chat about how mental illness of any kind is never an adjective, her new book dedicated to helping guide young adults through the crazy journey that is mental health recovery and how sometimes…shit happens. Stick around as we talk with voice actress, writer and mental health advocate Reba Buhr!

This week’s guest walks us through the wonderful world of anxiety and all the fun ways that can manifest in our lives. We chat about how hard it is to be a people pleaser, the anxiety in trying to find a sense of belonging as a bi-racial child and that you can indeed stress yourself out so much that you can get the shingles at age 24. Stick around as we talk all things anxiety with advertising specialist, youth swim coach, all around good guy and my friends Max Mitchell!

My guest this week comes on to talk all things trauma. In fact, she’s currently producing her own web series called Trauma Bonded. It’s a dark comedy that centers around the topic of trauma and domestic abuse, but is told through a more humorous lens! Hit play and discover why muttering to yourself in a corn field is only half of trauma processing therapy, why the worse thing a burglar could do is steal your cereal and why all striped shirts need to be burned. Stick around as we chat with actress, writer and producer, Chloe Burns!

I’m gonna be honest with y’all I could barely edit this episode because I could not stop laughing. My guest this week is quite possibly one of the funniest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. This week me and my guest talk about her OCD, PTSD and just anxiety in general…which is exactly the same cocktail of neurosis that I have so buckle in cause we had a lot to share! In this episode we cover why karaoke might suddenly turn into a kidnapping ring, why a $2k ER visit is never the answer for a cut pinky and that your OCD is actually a coked out screenwriter who’s never gonna win an Emmy. Stick around as we chat with the hilarious actress, stand up comedian and my comedy wife for the past 6 years- Lauren Schmuck.

Oh hi! Welcome back to the therapy would be cheaper podcast. I’m your host and not a licensed therapist Kenzie Rowland…but hey special treat for you this week, my guest IS a licensed therapist! This episode is something I wish I would have had at 19 years old when I was just starting out on my own mental health journey. I learned so much about not only what it takes to be a therapist, but what therapists wish you knew about the therapy process! In fact this episode was supposed to be a quick bonus episode but we ended up talking for a whole hour cause I was so fascinated! There’s one part in the episode where my guest, Me and our producer Jil have a side conversation that normally would have been cut out, but we ultimately decided to keep it in the episode because we thought it was important for you guys to understand that just because we run this podcast does not mean our own mental health journeys are complete…we are all constantly learning and that’s what beautiful about the healing process. So sit back and get ready to learn a whole heck of a lot with licensed clinical social worker and my good friend, Kelly Holroyd.

This week we dive into the world of depression and depression recovery. We cover topics like why buying 100 dresses will never make your undiagnosed depression go away and why we really don’t deserve dogs. Parents or any childcare people this episode is a great one for you! My guest walks us through her own tips and tricks of how to handle your little ones big feelings and nurture them in a constructive and supportive way. Come hang out with us as we chat with the loving, funny and the smartest childcare worker out there- my good friend Ily Yates.

This week’s episode we dive into the world of addiction and addiction recovery. My guest is funny and vulnerable and incredibly relatable as she guides us through her own journey. I say it a lot in the episode but it bares repeating- it is truly no easy feat to recover from addiction and it was awe inspiring to hear my guest not only bravely tell her story… but be able to laugh about it now, too. Stick around as we learn why therapy would have been cheaper with stand up comedian, ghost hunter extraordinaire, future social worker and my good friend- Carley Reeves.
