You Good?
When someone asks “How are you?” most of us answer some version of “Fine.”
But underneath the surface, it is usually more complicated.
You Good? is a podcast hosted by two therapists, Sarah, a somatic therapist and chronic yes girl working and parenting in Massachusetts, and Lissy, a therapist and parent striving for that elusive work life balance in Colorado.
Each episode, they sit down with guests to talk honestly about what caring for yourself actually looks like in real life. Not the highlight reel version of self care, but the messy reality of how people care for themselves on busy days, hard days, and seasons with little time or energy.
They talk about burnout, boundaries, guilt, rest, movement, friendship, and parenting, and the things people have had to unlearn along the way.
If you have ever wondered whether you are doing enough or felt tired of acting like you are fine, you are in the right place.
Welcome to You Good?
