🎙 Episode Title: The Cost of Healing (When You’re Broke and Tired)
Podcast: Therapy is Expensive, So Here We Are

What does healing look like when your bank account is low, your energy is gone, and your emotions are hanging by a thread?


In this micro episode, we explore the quiet, unglamorous version of healing—the kind that doesn’t show up in highlight reels or Pinterest boards. This is the version where rest is a rebellion, survival is sacred, and simply making it through the day is the win.


Healing isn’t just about therapy appointments, vision boards, and deep journaling. Sometimes it’s about:


  • Choosing not to spiral.

  • Saying no even when you feel guilty.

  • Making yourself a sandwich and calling it self-care.

  • Going to bed before the shame hits.


This short solo reflection is here for the days when you don’t feel like you’re doing enough, but you’re still doing something. We name the emotional labor of healing. We call out the hidden costs—time, energy, shame, grief. And we hold space for the truth that healing doesn’t always look like growth. Sometimes it just looks like not giving up yet.


If you’re tired, this is for you.


If you’re broke, this is for you.


If you’re trying to heal in the middle of surviving—yeah… this is definitely for you.


This is Therapy is Expensive So Here We Are—short, soulful, and honest reflections from the blurry spaces between burnout and breakthrough. Take what you need. Leave the rest.


🎧 Listen now. Breathe deeper later. You’re not behind. You’re in it.
