Her Time to Talk: Therapy Lessons Made Relatable Through Characters You Love
Her Time to Talk is a feminist mental health podcast for women who are tired of chronic guilt, anxiety, people-pleasing, and burnout—and want real tools to feel better. Hosted by Meagan Clark, MA LPC NCC BC-TMH, licensed counselor and founder of Her Time Therapy, PLLC, Season 2 features the signature format “If ___ Were My Client”, using the books and TV shows you love to make therapy relatable, fun, and actionable.
Each episode unpacks the psychology behind characters that feel way too relatable and uses their stories to help you understand your own patterns, including:
- Chronic guilt and difficulty for asking for what you need
- People-pleasing and anxiety around disappointing others
- Difficulty setting boundaries without guilt or panic
- Emotional labor and always being the one who keeps it all together
- Burnout from overfunctioning and never resting
- Losing yourself in relationships or caretaking roles
- Trauma responses like fawning, self-silencing, or self-abandonment
- Low self-trust and fear of asserting needs
- Reclaiming your voice, autonomy, and sense of self
Mental health content can feel heavy or abstract, but this podcast meets you where you are—through the stories, characters, and books you already connect with. By exploring these characters through a therapy-informed, feminist lens, Her Time to Talk provides practical strategies to reduce anxiety, set limits, and finally make space for your needs.
This podcast is for women who want:
- Practical tools they can use today
- Therapy insight that actually makes sense
- A fun, story-based way to explore mental health
- A feminist perspective that names the social conditioning behind their patterns
At Her Time Therapy, I work with women who carry a high emotional load—chronic guilt, people-pleasing, burnout, and trauma shaped by lifelong pressure to overaccommodate and stay quiet. This podcast is an extension of that work: a way to make therapeutic insight accessible, relatable, and empowering.
Tune in if you’re ready to stop shrinking yourself, understand your habits, and take steps toward confidence, clarity, and self-trust.
