Relationship expert Esther Perel therapizes real life couples on her podcast, addressing gritty challenges that real life couples face.

Nora McInerny, author of “It's Okay to Laugh (Crying Is Cool Too)” and “No Happy Endings” has conversations with people on how they’re really doing.

“Dear Therapists” with Lori Gottlieb and Guy Winch

Real therapists, real people, real feedback to said people, and real reporting back. This podcast can’t help but make other people’s experiences connect with yourself.

Invisibilia with Lulu Miller and Alix Spiegel

I like to listen to Invisibilia for spins on human behavior- the full range of human emotions meet all things known yet unseen. It’s what I like to call my “therapy-light” entertainment, exploring stories on culture, gender, race, empathy, secrets, assumptions, sex, money, status, etc. etc. etc.

The Love Drive with Shaun Galanos

Instagram targeted me thanks to all my therapy-light content and I started following The Love Drive after listening to Shaun’s honest takes on relationships. I’ve taken many wise nuggets of communication and intimacy along the way.

Therapy For Black Girls with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford

Representation, ya’ll. Black women and girls need to hear black women talk about black women and girl issues that are unique to black communities. Dr. Bradford is insightful in exploring relatable personal growth journeys , mental illness, pop culture, systemic issues that impact marginalized communities, and relationships.

Deeper Dating with Ken Page

I’ll admit this one was an acquired taste. BUT- if you’re ready to have a think about the depth and meaning of your intimate relationships, then this podcast is a hopeful and compassionate approach inward.

Unlocking Us- with Brene Brown

Of course I jumped on the Brene Brown bandwagon. Because she’s a star and I believe in her expertise on vulnerability… plus I needed words to explain how shame feels.

Why Won’t You Date Me with Nicole Byer

This podcast is funny, relatable, and for the sex positive. Nicole has conversations with guests on all things dating. The messiness and the hilarity is cringely and relatable- especially if you’ve gone through the ringer yourself.
