<![CDATA[Between a Hot Mess & a Therapist]]>Welcome to Between a Hot Mess & a Therapist, which is the Breakroom Oracle and your not-so-typical self-help podcast for helpers who are holding it together on the outside and quietly falling apart on the inside. Hosted by Shawna Lovin, LPC-S, a seasoned therapist with a rebellious spirit and Clinical Culture Dropout (who stayed licensed). This show is nervous-system-centered, truth-telling, warm as a hug, and blunt when it matters.

We talk burnout, over-functioning, identity, boundaries, ethical care that doesn’t require self-erasure, and the messy middle phase where you’re over it… but not done. Expect real stories, off-the-record insights, a little woo, a little sparkle, and a lot of “thank God someone said it.”

If clinical culture trained you to become a robot, this is your reminder: you’re allowed to stay human.
