The Therapist and the Wildcard

This week on The Therapist and The Wildcard, we talk about being actually busy vs just avoiding life, making plans and instantly wanting to cancel them, and why adulthood looked so much easier when we were kids. We also get nostalgic about growing up without technology taking over everything and talk honestly about how grief can leave you feeling a little more reckless with life.

The Therapist & The Wildcard is a mental health podcast hosted by The Wildcard, alongside The Therapist, where real conversations meet professional insight—and nothing is off-limits. Together, they dive into therapy, grief, healing, relationships, emotional chaos, and the moments that make you laugh, cry, or ask, “Is this normal?”

Some episodes go deep. Some go sideways. Most do both. The Wildcard brings the unfiltered conversation, lived experience, and humor people are

usually afraid to say out loud, while The Therapist grounds the conversation with clinical knowledge, compassion, and perspective—without killing the vibe.

This podcast isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about talking through the mess, naming the hard stuff, and finding meaning (and humor) along the way. If you’ve ever laughed through pain, questioned your own reactions, or wanted therapy talk without the therapy voice—welcome. You’re in the right place.

This week we talk about Chris’ second birthday not being here and our second wedding anniversary without him.

Last year felt like survival mode.
This year felt different—still painful, still emotional, but not as impossible to carry.

We talk honestly about how grief changes over time, the complicated feelings that come with healing, and what it’s like realizing you can miss someone deeply while also learning how to breathe again.

Grief changed shape this year.
Love never did.

Grief doesn’t end-it changes. In this episode, Vit opens up about approaching the 18-month mark since the loss of her husband and reflects on what this stage of grief can feel like. The conversation explores how grief evolves over time, why comparing grief journeys can be harmful, and the reality that everyone’s path through loss is different. Through honest discussion, the episode reminds listeners that there is no timeline and no “right way” to grieve.
