Irresponsible Diagnoses

For your Halloween podcast, the sisters talk about the psychiatric diagnoses of their favorite fictional characters. Was the Crazy Ex Girlfriend really mentally ill? What’s going on with Trading Places’ Duke Brothers? Can we diagnose Derek from the Good Place? And most importantly, what the heck is Yoda? Virginia shares her theories and Laura reviews them, based on the DSM-V. There is some actual mental health information in this episode! It drops tomorrow, November 2, at one minute after midnight!

Chaos reigns supreme on Ron Lynch’s CRAPSHOOT, where random selection determines what happens all night! This show usually happens at midnight, so Portland is really lucking out with this show! Tickets here!

I may be stuck onto another odd little show here or there, but rest assured I’ll be on these and I’d love to see you!

For the third episode of the incredible My Sister’s A Therapist podcast, the girls delve into SOULMATES: Why do we believe in them? What’s the harm in believing in them? And why do people’s soulmates switch around so much?

This episode takes on Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Plato’s Symposium, ghosts, and Love is Blind. Also, Virginia and Laura discuss how their parent’s marriage may have been one of the first felled by the Internet.

We’re so excited to be in the top 25% of podcasts by download, and next week we hope to be in the top 24%!

Mental health is a topic that is often stigmatized and misunderstood. But it is important to remember that mental health is just as important as physical health, and that everyone struggles with it from time to time. That’s why the podcast My Sister’s A Therapist is such an important resource.

Hosted by two sisters, one of whom is a licensed therapist, the podcast covers a wide range of mental health topics in a way that is both informative and entertaining. The sisters talk about everything from anxiety and depression to relationships and self-care. They also interview experts on a variety of mental health topics, and they share their own personal stories and experiences.

One of the things that makes My Sister’s A Therapist so unique is that it is both educational and relatable. The sisters do a great job of explaining complex mental health concepts in a way that is easy to understand.

It is a great resource for anyone who wants to improve their mental health or simply learn more about the topic.

My Sister’s A Therapist

My Sister’s a Therapist is a podcast featuring conversations between me, a comedian, and my sister, an LMFT in private practice, Laura Ryan.

We talk mental health and mental wellness, family of origins, relationships, and what’s happening on Tiktok.

The show grew out of the frequency with which I would dispense, at the very least, irresponsible, and at the most, harmful mental health guidance to my friends, citing the fact that my sister is a therapist, which pretty much makes me one.

I can’t tell you how much that is not true.

In our first episode, we talk about what’s toxic about the “friendzone”, including sad realizations about Billy Bragg and When Harry Met Sally, and also why Duckie Dale is kind of an asshole.
