Start With What Hurts Podcast https://craftyourwellness.podbean.com Each week, Lisa Reidsema, a licensed mental health counselor, takes one pattern, the kind of thing you've felt but never quite had language for, and does what her Library of Care does: she names what's happening underneath, explains the mechanism instead of moralizing, and leaves you with one small practice you can try the same day. These are short, unhurried episodes, closer to a real conversation than a lecture. You'll hear why a feeling that makes no sense on paper can run so much of your life, the difference between the story you tell about a pattern and the mechanism actually driving it, and honest talk about what these tools can and can't do, from a clinician who won't oversell them. Nothing here is a sales pitch. The podcast is free, and it stays free. If it becomes your way in, every episode points to a resource built for exactly what it covers, a kit, a workbook, or an exercise from the same method. Start with what hurts, and let's understand it together.

This podcast is educational and isn't therapy or a substitute for care from a licensed clinician.
