Episode Details

Jeremy is joined this week by Polly Sackett from Firefly Counseling. Jeremy and Polly talk about her winding path into the mental health field, and how her lived experience, including navigating motherhood, experiencing grief, and discovering somatic practices deeply shaped her therapeutic approach. Together, they reflect on the evolution of the field—from stigma and limited language around mental health to greater accessibility and awareness—while highlighting the importance of authenticity, ongoing learning, and finding joy in nature, movement, and connection.
