Let's Sit With This
If you've ever wished someone would just talk about the hard stuff in a way that actually makes sense — this is that place.
Let's Sit With This is hosted by Kristen Callaway, LMFT, a licensed therapist in Edmond, OK. This podcast is for anyone who is getting through hard moments, healing old hurt, or growing into someone they're proud of.
Here we talk about the things that are hard to say out loud — anxiety, grief, trauma, relationships, self-worth, and the patterns that keep us stuck. It feels more like chatting around a campfire than sitting in a therapist's office. You'll leave with perspective, practical tools, and the reminder that you are not as alone in this as you might feel.
Pull up a chair, get comfy, and let's sit with this together.

Introducing The Therapist's Bookshelf

Have you ever wondered what books mental health professionals actually read to help them in their work with clients?
Not the clinical or theoretical ones — but the books you could actually pick up, read, and find helpful.
Well you're in luck because I'm starting a new monthly series I’ll be doing this year called The Therapist’s Bookshelf.
Each month, I’ll read one book and then come on here to talk about it — what stood out to me, what challenged me, what I loved, what I didn’t love, and how I think about the ideas as both a therapist and a human. Most of these books are new to me, and a couple are ones I’m revisiting because they mattered that much.
Think of it like a laid-back book club — a space to talk honestly about ideas that help us understand ourselves, our relationships, and the hard parts of being human.
The books in this series touch on things like change, emotions, trauma, relationships, boundaries, habits, and meaning. Some are practical. Some are deeper. I’ve intentionally chosen a mix, knowing that different books will resonate with different people.
You’re welcome to read along each month — or not. You can simply listen to the episodes as they come out and take what’s helpful. Physical books, ebooks, and audiobooks are all welcome here.
