In this episode, you hear an honest and vulnerable conversation about suicide and what it’s like to reach a point where living feels impossible. Vit shares a deeply personal chapter of her life, opening up about a time when she didn’t want to live anymore and how, with Jen’s support, she found her way to a better place. Together, they talk about the importance of connection, the impact of being truly seen, and why having the right support can change

everything. This episode is about survival, honesty, and the reminder that even in the darkest moments, hope and healing are possible.

If you or someone you love is struggling with suicidal thoughts, help is available. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

The Therapist & The Wildcard is a mental health podcast hosted by The Wildcard, alongside The Therapist, where real conversations meet professional insight—and nothing is off-limits. Together, they dive into therapy, grief, healing, relationships, emotional chaos, and the moments that make you laugh, cry, or ask, “Is this normal?”

Some episodes go deep. Some go sideways. Most do both. The Wildcard brings the unfiltered conversation, lived experience, and humor people are

usually afraid to say out loud, while The Therapist grounds the conversation with clinical knowledge, compassion, and perspective—without killing the vibe.

This podcast isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about talking through the mess, naming the hard stuff, and finding meaning (and humor) along the way. If you’ve ever laughed through pain, questioned your own reactions, or wanted therapy talk without the therapy voice—welcome. You’re in the right place.
