Description
Feeling like life’s a bit… much?
Take Out Therapy is the podcast that feels like chatting with a friend—who also happens to be a therapist. Hosted by Rebecca Hunter, MSW, this show gets real about the messy stuff: stress, overwhelm, and that inner voice that just won’t quit. It’s your weekly dose of practical advice and shared humanity, designed to help empathic high-achievers tackle life with less angst and more ease.
Learn how to finally set boundaries without guilt, quiet your inner critic, and build the emotional resilience you’ve been craving. Expect relatable stories, laugh-out-loud moments, and actionable tools you can actually use—because who has time for fluff?
