The hidden cost of insurance-based therapy: And the freedom of choosing otherwise
More and more people are searching for therapists who take insurance, but few realize what that actually means for the quality of care they receive. The truth is, insurance often limits what therapists can offer, drains their energy, and pushes healing into a narrow, diagnosis-driven box. Private-pay therapy isn’t about being “exclusive” or “fancy”—it’s about creating space for deeper, more personalized, and more sustainable care. Here’s why many of us choose not to work with insurance, and why it might matter for your own healing journey.
What to do during perimenopause: Reconnecting With Your Body During Perimenopause
In this podcast, we’re focusing on perimenopause—that messy, often confusing stage before menopause that can bring big emotional, physical, and relational changes. It’s not just about hot flashes or hormones. It’s about identity, connection, and how all the parts of our lives interact.
That’s why I believe in looking at perimenopause through a systemic lens—one that considers not just what’s happening inside your body, but also your relationships, family dynamics, work, culture, and more.
Because when we understand the bigger picture, we can find better ways to cope, to connect, and to feel like ourselves again.
In this series, we will utilize female wisdom from cultures and other intersectionalities and the wisdom from female issues to discuss finding your version of healthy and claiming your power during perimenopause.
Whether you’re going through it yourself or supporting someone who is, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. Let’s talk about it.
