IHSTS - Ep. 12 - Let Me Be Fucking Angry
<p>Megan and producer Brian ditch the guest couch and get back to the OG duo for a no-holds-barred conversation about rage. Not irritation, not mild annoyance—rage, the top-of-the-line, burns-hot end of the anger spectrum. Why are we so afraid of it? And who gets permission to be angry, versus who gets called "bossy," "intimidating," or worse for the exact same energy?</p><p><br></p><p>Megan pushes back on the therapy gospel that anger always "covers" something deeper, makes the case that anger can sit right alongside hurt and sadness as its own valid feeling, and breaks down the idea that a feeling without a story attached only lasts about 90 seconds. Plus: gray rocking, rage rooms, rage walks, and why everyone needs a hype playlist.</p><p><br></p><p>Key Timestamps</p><p>[00:00] Back to the OG Duo: Today's Topic Is Rage </p><p>[01:11] Check-In: What's Your Rage (or Hype) Song? </p><p>[07:53] Rage vs. Anger—It's a Spectrum </p><p>[10:46] The Myth That Anger Always Covers Something </p><p>[12:32] "Bossy," "Intimidating" & the Gendered Weight of Anger </p><p>[15:31] Underneath vs. Alongside: What If Anger Is the Root? </p><p>[18:35] Rage as Trapped Energy & Primal Release </p><p>[21:30] Anger Management & "Whose Problem Is My Anger?" </p><p>[23:33] The How We Feel App & Naming Emotions </p><p>[25:05] Weaponizing Feelings & Power Structures </p><p>[28:11] The 90-Second Rule & Gray Rocking </p><p>[33:35] Tools: Journaling, Rage Walks & Releasing Safely </p><p><br></p><p>Standout Quotes</p><p>"A feeling without a story lasts 90 seconds."</p><p><br></p><p>"What if anger is the root?

When I feel anger or rage, what story am I attaching to it—and what changes if I let the feeling move through in 90 seconds instead of feeding the narrative?</p><p>2. Do I treat my anger as a mask for something "deeper," or can I let it stand alongside hurt, sadness, or frustration as valid on its own?</p><p>3. Where can I release this energy safely and non-traumatically—a rage walk, a playlist, journaling, a scream—instead of turning it inward or onto someone else?</p><p><br></p><p>Resources</p><p>- [How We Feel App](https://howwefeel.org/) — free emotion-tracking and regulation tool (iOS & Android) from Marc Brackett and the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence</p><p>- Permission to Feel by Marc Brackett — the book behind the emotional-intelligence work referenced in this episode</p><p>- Rage & Hype Playlist picks: Rage Against the Machine, "Bulls on Parade" · Gloria Gaynor, "I Will Survive" · Paramore, "Misery Business" · Big Sean</p><p><br></p><p>Crisis Support</p><p>988 - Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text) </p><p>Text HOME to 741741 - Crisis Text Line </p><p><br></p><p>Find a Therapist:**</p><p>[Psychology Today](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us) | [Rise & Thrive Wellness](https://riseandthrivewellness.net/)</p><p><br></p><p>Connect With Us</p><p>📧 ihavesh1t2say@gmail.com </p><p>📱 @ihavesh_ttosay (Instagram) | IHaveSh_tToSay (TikTok)</p><p><br></p><p>Credits</p><p>Host: Megan Campbell, LCPC, ATR-BC </p><p>Executive Producer:** Brian T Prairie </p><p>Operations Manager: MacKenzie Cloy </p><p><br></p><p>Disclaimer</p><p>This podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only and is not a substitute for professional mental health treatment, diagnosis, or advice.

IHSTS - Ep. 11 - Pregnancy, Postpartum & the Things Nobody Tells You
<p>CONTENT WARNING: This episode covers pregnancy loss, infant loss, stillbirth, and postpartum mental health, including intrusive thoughts and suicidal ideation. Please listen in a safe space and skip ahead if you need to. This is the first of a short series on these topics. "They tell you to have a baby and then go home like everything is normal after 24 hours." This week Megan sits down with Lindsay, a therapist with nearly two decades of experience who is certified in perinatal and postpartum mental health, for an honest, unfiltered conversation about what women's mental health really looks like around pregnancy, birth, and loss. Lindsay shares her own experience of a stillbirth at 41 weeks, and together they take apart the "you'll be fine in six weeks" myth, the postpartum conditions no one names out loud, the cruelty of well-meaning comments, and what it actually takes to support someone through it. Heavy, real, and occasionally very funny anyway. KEY TIMESTAMPS[00:23] Meet Lindsay + the trigger warning[00:53] Off-the-wall check-in: the Real Housewives detour[10:10] Why October matters, and Lindsay's stillbirth at 41 weeks[10:57] "Women's health is fucked": the 24-hour, six-week myth[16:35] "Baby blues," the DSM gap, and the postpartum spectrum[17:56] Postpartum anxiety, depression, OCD, and psychosis[21:08] The questions people think they're allowed to ask women[23:24] Disenfranchised grief and the everyday triggers[26:45] The "hierarchy" of loss, and why it isn't one[30:00] Choosing a provider: medication, PMDD, specialized care[33:33] Pregnancy: don't stop therapy; build your village[36:23] Learning to notice a thought as just a thought[37:50] "Getting your pink back": what's beyond normal[40:11] Dads and partners: their lives change too[45:23] Rainbow babies, phantom limbs, and the things people say[48:09] The grandmother in the store, and the power of an apology[1:00:27] Key takeaways: how to actually show up for someone STANDOUT QUOTES"My body is no longer my body. It has done this thing." "Six weeks is a long time to not sleep, to feel concerned about your baby dying." "I'm still a human being. I can be happy for you and be sad for me." "It's a loss. It doesn't have to be one person sadder than the other." THERAPIST'S TOOLKITThree things to sit with this week:1. After a hard experience around birth or loss, am I letting myself feel both grief and joy, or forcing an "either/or"?2. Do I have a safe person who asks "how are you?" and actually waits for the honest answer?3. When a distressing thought shows up, can I notice it as a thought rather than a fact about who I am?

IHSTS - Ep. 10 - Ships, Friendships & All the F*cking Expectations
<p>Ten episodes in, and we're celebrating with one of Megan's oldest friends — her former intern turned 17-year ride-or-die. Today's conversation is deeply personal and wildly relatable: female friendships. Why are they so hard? Why do they fall apart? And what does it actually take to make one last?</p><p><br /></p><p>Megan and guest Carissa dig into the power dynamics that shape how women are taught to "be nice" instead of honest, why unspoken expectations quietly destroy friendships, and what it really means to show up — not just for the parties, but for all the messy, hard, non-Instagrammable stuff. Plus: Enneagram 2s and 8s in the wild, reciprocity as a litmus test, transactional vs. relational, and why trying to be everyone's friend might be the thing keeping you from your actual people.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whether you've lost a friendship you didn't see coming, stayed too long in one that wasn't working, or have a person who has seen every version of you — this one is for you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Key Timestamps</p><p>[00:00] Intro: 10 Episodes In — New Logo, New Mugs, Same Chaos</p><p>[14:19] Welcome & Apologies to Barbie (and Bonnie)</p><p>[32:46] Meet Carissa: 17 Years, One File Cabinet Incident</p><p>[39:35] Why Female Friendships Are Hard</p><p>[41:34] Enneagram 2s & 8s: When Opposites Actually Work</p><p>[43:02] Power Dynamics: From Intern to BFF</p><p>[46:43] Access & Effort — Why Friendships Fade</p><p>[47:52] Expectations: The Hidden Friendship Killer</p><p>[54:00] Transactional vs. Relational Friendships</p><p>[58:30] Multiple Versions of Yourself, Same Core Person</p><p>[01:01:43] "I Got It Wrong" & Masking in Friendships</p><p>[01:10:50] Red Flags in Hindsight</p><p>[01:17:44] Reciprocity Test: Are They Asking About You?</p><p>[01:24:32] Takeaways: Show Up, Be Yourself, Accept the Shift</p><p><br /></p><p>Standout Quotes</p><p>"If I'm actively trying to be this way or mask and do X, Y, Z — it's never going to work. It's going to be the worst."</p><p><br /></p><p>"If you only want to show up to somebody's parties, you're not friends. You also have to wallow with them."</p><p><br /></p><p>"You get what you put in. You have to actively choose to be a part of what you want to be a part of."</p><p><br /></p><p>Therapist's Toolkit</p><p>3 Friendship Checkup Questions:</p><p>1. Are my expectations spoken out loud, or am I waiting for the other person to just know?</p><p>2. Is this friendship relational — or has it become transactional without me noticing?</p><p>3. Am I showing up as myself, or am I masking to keep this person comfortable?</p><p><br /></p><p>Resources</p><p>Enneagram Institute</p><p>Psychology Today — Adult Friendships Research</p><p>Level Up Leaders</p><p><br /></p><p>Crisis Support</p><p>988 - Suicide Prevention Lifeline</p><p>Text HOME to 741741 - Crisis Text Line</p><p><br /></p><p>Find a Therapist: Psychology Today | SAMHSA Treatment Locator</p><p>Verify Credentials: Check your state's professional licensing board website</p><p><br /></p><p>Connect With Us</p><p>Have a topic you want us to cover?
