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.

Let's Sit With This
When Life Just Stops: The Shame Side of Depression
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
There’s a side of depression that doesn’t get talked about enough.
The side where life just… stops.
Where showering feels impossible.
Where the dishes pile up.
Where you stop responding to texts.
Where shame gets louder than anything else.
In this episode, we talk about severe depression through a nervous system lens — what it looks like when you move into a prolonged freeze state, why it can happen even after life circumstances improve, and how shame keeps the cycle going.
Most importantly, we talk about how to gently begin climbing out.
Not with pressure.
Not with perfection.
But with small, steady steps that rebuild dignity and momentum.
If you’ve ever felt ashamed of how far things have gotten — this episode is for you.
