🌙 New Episode Out Now 🎙️
“good morning, it’s midnight”

In this episode, Carl Patterson explores the quiet, often-overlooked emotional world children inhabit before, during, and after divorce. Through his original poem good morning, it’s midnight, Carl blends poetic language with clinical insight to give voice to what so many kids silently carry—fear, confusion, and the invisible work of protecting the people they love most.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, poet, and spoken word artist, Carl unpacks how divorce shakes a child’s sense of stability, trust, and self-worth. He connects poetic devices like imagery, metaphor, and alliteration to the way children process big emotions—and shares how parents and clinicians can better hold space for them.

This isn’t just a performance. It’s a reflection, a resource, and a call to listen deeper. 💔➡️❤️
Because how we handle separation doesn’t just impact us—it echoes in the lives of those watching.

After a two-month pause, we’re back—and we're starting with a conversation about what happens in the in-between. In this reflective return episode, we explore the emotional terrain of transition—whether it’s stepping away from something familiar, facing personal change, or entering a new season of life.

Therapists often sit with people in the space between what was and what will be. This episode gives our take on how to understand, navigate, and grow through these pivotal moments.

We are also excited to introduce our new producer, Alexander Holland. Also known as Zander, he is a licensed therapist with a special interest in betrayal trauma couple recovery. We are excited to have him as part of our growing podcast!

✨ New Episode: “Ashes – Grief and Remembrance” ✨

In this deeply personal premiere, Carl Patterson opens the door to layered grief, memory, and healing through poetry, story, and reflection.

Grounded in the raw reality of losing his father to a tragic fire, Carl shares the moment he received his father’s ashes in the mail—a moment that birthed the poem “ashes.” This piece becomes a vessel for navigating the paradox of love and grief, the weight of unresolved wounds, and the sacred act of remembering.

With references to Orson Scott Card and Emily Dickinson, Carl weaves together literature and lived experience, reminding us:

Grief is not weakness—it’s the truest reflection of our capacity to love.
