Ep 182: 10 Things About 10 Years In Therapy

August 15, 2023/ Laura Tremaine

Ten years ago this summer, I was in one of the lowest points of my life. I had a toddler and a baby, was grieving the death of a loved one, the diagnosis of another loved one, and the near-fatal crisis of yet another loved one. My husband was away making a movie, so I was solo parenting and circumstantially very isolated during a rainy season that had flooded our home.

And also....I had just started therapy for the first time.

June 06, 2023/ Laura Tremaine

Do you have a signature style? Do you want to have one?

I have a few signature styles, things that I feel good in, looks that I'm known for, a style of expressing on the outside how I feel on the inside: bold lipstick, head scarves, and sweatshirts. These things anchor my favorite outfits.
