This episode continues the conversation with Kara and focuses on the aftermath — the funeral, the days that followed, and what it’s really like to be the friend of someone grieving deeply.

We talk about showing up when there are no right words, navigating grief from the outside, and staying present long after everyone else goes back to their normal lives. Kara shares what it means to support someone in intense grief while also carrying her own emotions.

This is a raw conversation about friendship, loss, and loving someone through the hardest season of their life.

The Therapist & The Wildcard is a mental health podcast hosted by The Wildcard, alongside The Therapist, where real conversations meet professional insight—and nothing is off-limits. Together, they dive into therapy, grief, healing, relationships, emotional chaos, and the moments that make you laugh, cry, or ask, “Is this normal?”

Some episodes go deep. Some go sideways. Most do both.
The Wildcard brings the unfiltered conversation, lived experience, and humor people are usually afraid to say out loud, while The Therapist grounds the conversation with clinical knowledge, compassion, and perspective—without killing the vibe.

This podcast isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about talking through the mess, naming the hard stuff, and finding meaning (and humor) along the way.
If you’ve ever laughed through pain, questioned your own reactions, or wanted therapy talk without the therapy voice—welcome. You’re in the right place.

This episode is honest, emotional, and unfiltered — a look at grief through friendship and the weight of being a witness when life falls apart.

In this episode, we talk honestly about the funeral — what it was like to show up, sit through it, and survive a day that feels impossible. There’s no romanticizing grief here. Just real emotions, shock, love, and the heaviness of saying goodbye in front of other people.
This is a raw conversation about loss, discomfort, and what that day actually felt like.

In this episode, Vit shares the story of Chris — who he was, how they met, and what their relationship meant. This conversation is about more than a timeline; it’s about honoring a person, a connection, and the moments that mattered.
Together, Jen and Vit talk through memories, context, and the importance of talking about someone who is no longer here — not just how it ended, but how it began. This episode creates space for remembering, storytelling, and saying his name out loud.
