Broke Girl Therapy With Stefanie Maegan

A listener named “Mary” wrote in because her best friend is about to walk down the aisle and she genuinely does not think this woman should be marrying that man. The spark is gone, the sex is nonexistent, they fight constantly, and Mary is stuck at the bachelorette party holding all of this in like a ticking time bomb. This week, Rose and I unpack the kind of friendship drama that will have you texting your group chat immediately: do you tell your friend she might be settling, or do you let her make her own choices and be there no matter what?  Send us your questions and stories to be featured on da pod https://www.brokegirltherapy.com/contact-page Stefanie Maegan https://www.instagram.com/brokegirltherapy/ https://www.instagram.com/stefaniemaegan/ https://www.brokegirltherapy.com/ Rose McAleese https://www.instagram.com/rose_ettastone/ https://thenewblogontheblock.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s a KEEKZ takeover. For once, I’m the one in the hot seat. Keekz took over the mic and asked me the questions no one’s ever asked me on the show before. So we switched roles and got into the episodes that broke me, the guests who changed me, the advice I regret giving, and the unexpected friendships I built along the way.

I’m back with another throwback rerun while we’re on break and this one is a CLASSIC

In the middle of a chaotic world, I wanted to run it back to 2021 with one of my favorite throwbacks: Chaotic Advice feat HK Brains, Jess Clarke, and of course Rose. This episode really means a lot to me because it came at a time when I needed an escape. I had just lost my job, reality felt heavy, and being able to sit with my friends and laugh until my stomach hurt was honestly everything. Life is so fucking serious sometimes, but it’s okay to pause, be with your people, and let yourself enjoy the moment. Press play if you need a little break and a big belly laugh.

As we take this hiatus, I still wanted to feed you some fun throwback episodes you probably forgot existed. This episode is from 2020, and it is one of my all time favorites because it is the first time I ever told Rose about Bryan, back when he was just “Chris Bay Bae” lmao. Listening back is WILD now that we are actually engaged, so I thought this would be a special little full circle moment for us.

Rachel joins us on da pod and we read listener emails and give advice as three reformed Catholics. The emails take us from moving in with a partner before marriage and how to navigate it when you are Christian, your partner is atheist, and your parents are stressed. Then we spiral into proposal talk, Catholic flashbacks, confession secrets, ghosts, and why men love to talk a big game and do absolutely nothing. Plus, “Aries” is back with an update on a divorced high school ex, long distance lust, and where the line is between fun curiosity and a nervous system crash.

Ann from the We Signed an NDA podcast is here and we talk about way more than pop culture. We briefly touch the Vanderpump world, then we get real about Asian American identity, family trauma, bipolar disorder, learning boundaries as an adult, dating in LA post pandemic, sexuality, and how humor can be a survival tool. This episode is equal parts hilarious and healing and it felt like meeting a soul friend for the first time!!

We have Jonathan Soto on the podcast this week aka a full on BGT STAFF PARTY!!!!! We get into dating men who feel like Instagram profiles, emoji flirting that goes nowhere, anxious attachment while trying to be the “chill girl”, first-gen family love, long distance as a green flag, and what actually matters on your partner list. If you are a kind emotionally aware gay man who wants something REAL this might be your sign to shoot your shot with Jonathan tbhhhhh

In this episode, I sit down with clinical psychologist and couples therapist Dr. Molly Burrets to unpack why so many of us keep ending up in the same relationship with a different face. We talk about how our childhoods quietly shape who we are drawn to, why those intense butterflies can actually be anxiety, and what it really looks like to hit rock bottom in love and choose differently. We also get into attachment styles, people pleasing, abandonment wounds, hyper independence, and how all of this shows up in our friendships, our romantic lives, and even how we think about becoming parents one day. If you have ever questioned your patterns, minimized your own experience, or struggled to find closure, this one is going to sit in your chest in the best way.

In this state of the world, politics is such a heavy topic. We are not here to debate policies or convince anyone where to stand. Instead, this episode is about how politics has become the thing that cracks open old wounds in my family, and maybe yours too. As I try to navigate the political differences in my family and in the world, I am also navigating what it means to finally face the family trauma I have avoided for years. If you have ever felt caught in the middle of loving your people and questioning their beliefs, this one is for you.

We’re getting a little scholarly about sex and connection!!!! We sit down with Nadege, also known as Pleasure Science, a sex scholar who breaks down the science behind how we flirt, love, and connect. We brought her on because, honestly, I have no idea what my flirting style even is. Am I playful? Sincere? Shy? All of the above? We also dive deep into asexuality and demisexuality, two identities that are often misunderstood. Before I go around calling myself demisexual, I wanted to actually educate myself on what that means, and who better to help me unpack it than a sex scholar herself? So tune in to find out what my real flirting style is, if I can officially call myself a demisexual, and maybe even discover what your flirting style is. Do you resonate with being demisexual or asexual? Let’s find out together!!!

We’ve always shown support for the ENM (ethical non-monogamy) community, but I understand there are still a lot of skeptics out there. Rose is definitely one of them, but in my opinion I think she’s more capable of being poly than she realizes. That’s why I brought Vanessa on the pod to share her insight and maybe even convince Rose that she’s a little more poly than she thinks she is
