My Sister’s A Therapist

my sister's a therapist cover

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.

FROM JOSEPH SMITH TO ROBERT SMITH: Virginia Jones Talks Comedy, Mormonism, and Feminism on Open Graves

On the latest episode of Heather Noel and Vesta Vaingloria’s podcast, Open Graves, known goth Virginia Jones opens up about her life as a comedian, Mormon, and feminist.

Jones discusses about how her Mormon upbringing influenced her comedy. “I grew up in France, so Mormonism made me feel like an outcast on top of being an outcast-I moved to the States from France as a cult member who also talked funny.”

“I’m a feminist because I believe in equality for all people,” Jones said. “Although, as Animal Farm points out, some people are more equal than others.”

Jones is a talented comedian and a role model for young Goth women everywhere. Her appearance on Open Graves was a fun, but extremely dark and gothic, visit.

If you haven’t listened to Open Graves yet, I highly recommend it. It’s a great podcast with engaging hosts. You can find it on most major podcast platforms!
