This show lives where therapy meets real life. Life Behind the Badge, Behind the Therapy Office and Behind the Scenes.
We talk about the unseen pressure behind high-expectation roles: therapists, healthcare professionals, first responder families, parents, entrepreneurs, and anyone who spends their days helping others while quietly forgetting they’re human too. If you’ve ever thought, “Why does it feel like I’m the only one struggling?” you’re exactly who I made this for.
You’ll hear educational episodes, honest moments, and the kind of humor that shows up when you’re drinking too much coffee and trying to convince yourself you’ve got it handled. I’ll also bring in interviews with therapists, first responders, business owners, researchers, and people with incredible stories worth telling. New episodes drop every week, so hit follow, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help more people find a place that feels real.
Our mission is to make mental health conversations more accessible, reduce stigma, and connect people with trusted resources, practical tools, and stories that inspire hope, healing, and resilience. 50% of all donations and/or monthly subscriptions are donated to our Vegas Valley First Responders.

Hey everyone, welcome to my podcast trailer. This is a little intro and sneak peek of what to expect when it comes to life behind the badge, life behind the therapy office, and life behind the scenes. It's important to realize that we are all human and that we all go through a lot of hardships and sometimes we feel alone. So, with that said, I am Emily Ann Bihart, a licensed clinical professional counselor here in Las Vegas, Nevada. I own
Welcome And What To Expect
SPEAKER_00a group practice. I am in my doctorate program because I am a glutton for punishment. I am married to a first responder. I'm a mom, an entrepreneur, and there's probably five million other things that I'm doing in my life that I can't even think of right now.
Hardships And Feeling Alone
SPEAKER_00I created this show to connect with others and demonstrate this relatability that we all have that we don't talk about. And it kind of boils
Meet Emily Ann Bihart
SPEAKER_00down to being alone. This is where therapy meets real life. And if anything, I want to remind people that you're not the only one trying to figure it out. We're kind of all in this together. So, with that said, we carry these huge expectations, whether you're a therapist, a healthcare professional, a first responder spouse, a business owner, parents.
Why This Show Exists
SPEAKER_00We spend so much time helping everyone else that we forget we are human too. With this said, this show is for anyone, especially for firefighter or any first responder spouse. There's going to be a lot of content. Some of it will be educational, some of it will be funny, and some of it will probably be me drinking
Who This Podcast Is For
SPEAKER_00way too much coffee while trying to convince myself I have my life together. Thank you, Denial. So I also intend to have interviews with therapists, first responders, business owners, researchers, and people with incredible stories worth telling. If you are someone who's interested or just someone who's surviving in chaos, you're in the right place. There will be new episodes every week. Hit follow, and I'll see you in the first episode.
