How to Cope with Grief and Loss
Grief is universal—but it rarely feels that way when you’re in it.On this episode, Haesue sits down with writer and podcaster Misty Stinnett to unpack what grief really looks like: messy, unpredictable, and often very lonely. Misty shares the story of losing her father suddenly in her twenties, and the very different experience of losing her aunt years later, a loss that came with time to say goodbye. Along the way, she opens up about somatic therapy, the pressure to “perform” progress, and why grief sometimes teaches us how to love harder.Haesue is then joined by therapist Dr. Sreela Roy-Greene for a grounded, practical conversation about navigating grief in everyday life. From how to handle grief at work, to simple somatic exercises you can try at home, this episode offers compassionate guidance for anyone who’s struggling—or supporting someone who is.

Bonus Episode: Why Are So Few People in Therapy?
On this special bonus episode, Dr. Sreela Roy-Greene talks about something she sees in her work all the time... and maybe you’ve felt it too: You know therapy helps. You believe in mental health care. But when it’s your turn to ask for help? That hesitation creeps in. This isn’t just a personal feeling—it’s a global one. In their first-ever State of Stigma report, BetterHelp surveyed over 16,000 people across 23 countries about mental health. The findings? They’re powerful, a little heartbreaking—but also hopeful.

How to Overcome Imposter Syndrome
We’ve all had that inner voice that sometimes says, “You don’t belong here.” That’s imposter syndrome, and there’s more to it than you might think. In this episode, host and therapist Haesue Jo talks with Peabody and Emmy Award-winning journalist Jane Marie about what it’s like to carry self-doubt, even with a long list of accomplishments. The conversation takes a surprising turn as Jane and Haesue discover how Jane’s childhood has shaped her inner critic—and how therapy and motherhood are helping her soften it.Later, Haesue is joined by Dr. Valerie Young, a leading expert on imposter syndrome, to unpack where these feelings come from and what we can actually do about them. From personal stories to practical advice (did you know that the answer to imposter syndrome is not more success?), we’re exploring how identity, perfectionism, and belonging all play a role in imposter syndrome. Whether you’ve ever questioned your own success or felt like the odd one out—this episode’s for you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
