Session 40: Calling Crissle

This week, Crissle is back on the Couch taking your live calls and getting real about mental health, relationships, and the complicated choices we make when life feels overwhelming. In today’s episode, Crissle helps listeners navigate maintaining their mental health while traveling for work, questioning whether they’re settling in a relationship, and dealing with a parent who expects their children to take on their financial responsibilities.

From finding ways to care for yourself when regular therapy isn’t an option to questioning whether a lack of attraction means it’s time to walk away, Crissle offers honest advice on knowing what you need and when it’s time to choose yourself. Throughout this episode, Crissle gets into the importance of making space for your feelings, setting boundaries with family, and recognizing when someone else’s responsibilities are no longer yours to carry.
