As we close out season one of Her Time to Talk, this special end-of-year episode invites you to step into the new year with intention, self-compassion, and clarity rather than pressure, perfectionism, or burnout.

Women are constantly told to do more, be more, and fix themselves through unrealistic New Year’s resolutions. When those expectations inevitably become unsustainable, they often fuel shame, negative self-talk, and a sense of failure. In this episode, we pause that cycle and explore a gentler, more empowering alternative.

As a thank-you for closing out season one with us, this episode includes a free gift. Download Her Time to Heal: A Woman’s Guide to Starting and Succeeding in Therapy, a 30-plus-page guide created by licensed therapists specializing in women’s mental health.

Many women find themselves caught in distressing cycles of overthinking. You replay a moment again and again, searching for clarity or safety, only to feel more overwhelmed and disconnected from yourself. In this episode, we explore why these patterns are so common for women and trauma survivors, how your nervous system confuses past and present threats, and what it truly takes to interrupt the spiral.

You will learn a simple two-step process for moving from rumination into grounded, intentional action. This approach blends nervous system regulation, mindful reframing, and small, compassionate steps that help you reclaim your energy and focus.

If you're ready to shift out of survival mode and into more clarity, calm, and self-trust, this episode offers an accessible way to begin.

In this episode of Her Time To Talk, Megan explores why activism is not only compatible with therapy, but essential to mental health and feminist clinical practice. Drawing from her experience at the October 18th No Kings protest in Savannah, Georgia, she reflects on the emotional complexity of showing up, the power of collective action, and the realities of navigating safety and privilege in today’s political climate.

Megan discusses the growing research that links pro-social behavior, community engagement, and collective action with improved wellbeing. She breaks down accessible forms of activism for listeners who may not feel safe attending protests, including daily conversations, creative expression, financial and resource-based support, civic participation, community building, and rest as resistance. Throughout the episode, she illustrates how small, value-aligned actions can reduce feelings of helplessness and build agency during times of political fear and uncertainty.

This conversation centers the feminist therapy principle that the personal is political and emphasizes why therapists cannot, and should not, pretend to be blank slates when systemic forces shape clients’ lives so directly. Listeners are invited to explore their own relationship with activism and choose one small, meaningful action that feels safe, possible, and restorative.
