About this listen
What if we treated therapy like a wellness tool instead of a last resort? In this episode, we chat with Licensed Professional Counselor Brandi Hosick, who specializes in helping kids, teens, and young adults build emotional skills through play therapy and honest conversations.
We start by debunking the outdated idea that therapy is just for “broken” people (spoiler alert: it’s not) and explore why it should be as normal as going to the gym. Brandi shares how she helps children identify their emotions using visual tools like thermometers and scales, so they can better manage big feelings without melting down.
And then—oh boy—we turn the mirror on ourselves as moms. Are we modeling emotional regulation or losing it on the daily? Brandi helps us reflect on the powerful ripple effect our reactions have on our kids, and what we can do to support calmer, more connected homes. We wrap with tangible steps you can take today—whether it’s journaling, movement, deep breaths, or seeking out your own mental health support.
