36 | Existentialism as a Path for Truth & Growth with Dr. Sara Kuburic (AKA @millennial.therapist)
April 23, 2024 09:00 - 44 minutes - 40.9 MBn a world that often feels disorienting with its speed and complexity, finding our true selves can sometimes seem like a search for a needle in a vast, shifting haystack. This quest for personal identity and authenticity was the focus of a deep and insightful conversation on my podcast Honor Your Spark, where I was recently joined by existential psychotherapist, consultant, writer, and columnist Dr. Sara Kuburic, also known as the Millennial Therapist. In this conversation, we explored the i...
35 | Own Your Career by Finding Your Power Mood with Sam DeMase
April 09, 2024 09:00 - 37 minutes - 34.3 MBThe corporate world is not exactly known for being fair to women. Even with significant progress made in recent decades, the wage gap still has women getting paid 16% less than their male counterparts (substantially worse for women of color), and women are often passed up for promotions or higher-level positions. Remember this exchange from the Barbie movie during Ken’s visit to corporate America? Ken: You guys aren't doing patriarchy very well. Corporate Bro: We're actually doing patriarch...
34 | Goblincore: A Deep Dive into the Aesthetic & Lifestyle with Author McKayla Coyle
March 26, 2024 09:00 - 41 minutes - 37.6 MBAesthetic styles like Minimalism, Grunge, Rustic, and Boho have been in the mainstream awareness for a quite a while now— and in recent years, social media has made it possible for folks to connect around more niche aesthetics like Cottagecore, Y2K, Academia, Old Money (for real), and— one of my personal favorites— Goblincore. And similarly to Minimalism, Goblincore is not just an aesthetic, but also a lifestyle. In this episode of "Honor Your Spark," I had the privilege of diving deep into ...
33 | Cultivating Resilience Through Life & Work Pivots with Jason Shen
March 12, 2024 09:00 - 46 minutes - 42.6 MBNavigating pivots is a necessary skill set in all areas of life— especially in our careers, whether you’re an employee or an entrepreneur. In the case of Jason Shen, who pivoted from Silicon Valley entrepreneur to Facebook employee to executive coach, resilience becomes the name of the game. In fact, in his first startup, Jason says of his team: "We didn't run out of money— we ran out of resilience." As he continued to see how critical resilience was for navigating both personal and professi...
32 | Why Micro Activism is the Most Powerful Way to Make an Impact with Omkari Williams
February 27, 2024 10:00 - 47 minutes - 43.3 MBThe idea of being an “activist” can feel incredibly daunting. Since not a single person can ~save the world~ even if activism is their full-time job, it doesn’t take much to start feeling that creeping sense of “Why bother?”. Omkari Williams is here to tell you why we should still bother— and how we can think of activism in a way that actually fits into our lives for the long haul.
31 | The Power of Becoming ‘Body Aware’ with Erica Hornthal
February 13, 2024 10:00 - 56 minutes - 64.5 MBOur modern world is paradoxical in many ways, one being this: people will spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on books, courses, coaching, and therapy to become more self-aware— and yet, our technology and pace of living can cause us to be anything BUT aware. Instead, we often find ourselves on autopilot, seldom relying on critical thinking or reflecting deeply on our internal experience
30 | Healing from Narcissistic Abuse + The Dark Side of the Coaching Industry with Angela Gentile
January 30, 2024 10:00 - 47 minutes - 43.5 MBAnyone who hasn’t been through some kind of substantial hardship yet has no business being a therapist or coach. There— I said it. No, your therapist/coach doesn’t need to have gone through the same experiences you have; but if they haven’t even set foot inside the school of hard knocks, how the hell are they supposed to have the perspective to help their clients navigate suffering? In this episode of the podcast, Angela Gentile, public school teacher turned professional hypewoman and speake...
29 | Ella Magers on Expanding Compassion for Self and ALL Beings
January 16, 2024 10:00 - 59 minutes - 54.1 MBIt ain't my business to tell anyone how to eat or live their lives, but hey— it's my podcast, so I sure as hell am gonna tell you what I think. 😜 In all seriousness, I haven’t talked much at all about veganism or animal advocacy in the Bad Bitch Therapist world yet. In the past, I actually had a whole separate “Val the Vegan Therapist” website and vegan podcast, and while I’m still just as passionate about veganism today, I just realized that was not a thing that I wanted to do as a full-ou...
28 | Advice for Approaching a New Year (...from my 16-year-old self 😜)
January 02, 2024 10:00 - 24 minutes - 22.8 MBAs I was thinking about how I wanted to ring in the New Year on the podcast, a lightbulb went off— “wait a second, didn’t I find that list of New Years Resolutions I made in high school? That shit would be HILARIOUS.” So yes, in an effort to both entertain and inspire you, dear listeners, I am subjecting you in this solo episode to the wisdom of my 16-year-old self. 😂😂I had a blast reading through each of the 11 items on the list and sharing with y’all what I think of them now, 20+ years la...
27 | Liz Jenkins on Clearing Clutter Both Externally and Internally
December 19, 2023 10:00 - 43 minutes - 40.2 MBPeople often hire a professional organizer to help declutter their homes, believing the problem lies exclusively with managing physical STUFF. Liz Jenkins, owner of the thriving organizing business A Fresh Space, knows that the relationship between physical and mental clutter is way more than drawer-deep. 🤓
26 | Zandra Bonick on Closing Your Money Leaks
December 05, 2023 10:00 - 45 minutes - 42.1 MBThe word “budget” often brings up the same connotations as the word “diet”: restriction, deprivation, punishment— basically, a total JOYKILL. On the flipside of the coin, I realized recently that I actually also had a negative connotation with the word “profit” (greedy, using people, capitalist pig, etc.)—talk about damned if you do, damned if you don’t. But it doesn’t have to be that way, right?
25 | Caitlin Hart on Overcoming Burnout & Being an Esthetician Who’s Anti-Anti-Aging
November 21, 2023 10:00 - 41 minutes - 37.9 MBIt’s always fascinating talking to leaders, service providers, and entrepreneurs in completely different industries and noticing how much overlap there is in the challenges and opportunities we encounter. In this episode of the pod, I’m talking with esthetician Caitlin Hart— and as a kindred spirit who is highly ambitious, she’s had to learn (like many of us, the hard way) how to adjust and recalibrate in her career to align with different seasons of her life. Caitlin’s most recent labor of ...
24 | What it Actually Means to be a High Performer
November 07, 2023 10:00 - 20 minutes - 18.7 MBOk, raise your hand if you’re a fellow recovering Gifted Child 🙋♀️ Yuuup, that’s what I thought. 😜 TLDR; being “gifted” (aka let’s just proudly own it, being a fucking NERD) IS a superpower, with so many amazing ac-tu-al GIFTS. AND… like any superpower, it has its kryptonite. If high ambition goes unchecked, things can get ugly. (🎵hello, burnout, my old friend…🎵)
23 | Amanda Yoa on Balancing Toughness with Heart
October 17, 2023 09:00 - 45 minutes - 41.9 MBThis episode is truly a meeting of the Bad Bitch minds. 😜When I came across Amanda Yoa after she liked one of my posts, I couldn’t help but notice the similarities between our message, vibe, and even our freaking brand colors/symbols. TBH, my first thought was— “Oh wow, our shit is so similar, and she’s been here longer than me… I wonder if she’ll think I copied her 😬…but I have never even seen her account until today!”
22 | Emerson Ryder on Honoring Gen Z’s Resilience & Deepening Connection Through Culture
October 03, 2023 09:00 - 41 minutes - 37.7 MB“It’s a rot day, bestie. Just don’t rot for like 5 days straight… it’s giving Depression Era.” If you read that and you’re like… ummm ??? — you’re not alone. 😆 THIS elder millennial (hi, it me) has officially reached a point where I have to ask for help from my resident Gen Z translator, Emerson Ryder. Emerson is on my team of amazing therapists at The Gaia Center, and she is truly a magical unicorn if I’ve ever met one. She has an uncanny ability to simultaneously throw out these foreign-...
21 | 3 Self-Care ‘Shoulds’ You Can Stop Doing Today
September 19, 2023 09:00 - 28 minutes - 26.2 MBEvery single day of our lives, the world tells us who and how we should be. Damn— that’s pretty heavy, isn’t it? We get told how we should act, talk, dress, look, move, what we should and shouldn’t eat— hell, we’re even told how we’re sleeping and breathing “wrong” 😵💫… not to mention that much of this advice or “research” (much of which is empirically flawed and biased) contradicts the advice we read about the same topic the week before. Quite frankly, it’s EXHAUSTING.
20 | Patrick Murphy on Healing Anxiety & Refusing A Mediocre Life

Not sure WTF any of that means? No worries— just buckle up and put on those headphones! Val here, and I’m not gonna lie— I was nervous AF jumping into this interview, because these 3 guests have hosted their own podcast, Multiamory, for almost a decade… and by this point have something like eleventy-zillion downloads. No pressure! 🫣😜
18 | Rebecca Mosley on Rebuilding Yourself When the Worst Possible Things Happen
August 08, 2023 09:00 - 43 minutes - 39.4 MBCONTENT WARNING: This episode contains quite a bit of conversation around suicide. Please see the resources at the bottom of the show notes if you or someone you know is struggling and needs support. I love this week’s episode because it’s a true heart-to-heart with my dear friend and absolute badass cousin Becca, who's an excellent role model for anyone who’s been dealt some rough fucking cards and has committed to a life of authenticity and joy.

Just like that. 🎢🫨

June 27, 2023 09:00 - 48 minutes - 44.1 MBShow me someone who doesn’t have money shit, and I’ll… well, I’ll tell you you’re probably wrong, because they don’t exist. 😜Or— at least they only exist if they’ve seriously done their WORK around money. And sure— systemic and economic issues like privilege, intergenerational poverty, inflation, lack of affordable housing, recessions— of course these variables play a BIG role in our lives with money. (Serotonin? In this economy? 😵💫)
13 | Tasha Reign: From Princess to P*rn Star
June 13, 2023 09:00 - 44 minutes - 40.8 MBWhen you envision a fraternity house full of hormonal college dudes having a conversation about sexual consent, who do you imagine they’d be more likely to listen attentively to: a sterile, scripted lecture delivered by a poor graduate intern from Campus Health, or… one of the most successful adult film stars in the business? Uh, yeah, that’s what I thought. And that’s exactly what Tasha Reign did, in fraternities and in lecture halls at numerous university campuses. She’s also an activist ...

Because I DEFINITELY MEANT IT. 😡 For any of you who are fortunate enough to not know what “managed care system” is— it’s the jargon-y term for insurance-based healthcare, which— in the US, is MOST healthcare.

10 | Kelly Haze on Pretty Privilege and Ego Death
May 16, 2023 09:00 - 48 minutes - 44.8 MBIt’s refreshing to live at a time where acknowledging and discussing privilege has become practically mainstream. Yet, there are some types of privilege that usually get left out of the conversation. One of them? PRETTY privilege. While it’s uncomfortable to acknowledge that the world treats attractive people differently, it’s also undoubtedly true. And just like any type of privilege, typically the people least likely to recognize it are the ones who possess it. That’s just one of the reaso...

May 02, 2023 09:00 - 57 minutes - 52.4 MBThis episode is overflowing with gold freaking nuggets, y’all.

Whether you’re a healer or on your own healing journey (or both), we ALL share in the purpose to leave this planet and everyone we encounter a little better than we found them. There are SO many ways of doing that, and frankly none of them shou...
8 | Laura Long on the Mental F*ckery of Overwhelm & Perfectionism
April 18, 2023 09:00 - 47 minutes - 43.6 MBPerfectionism is a sneaky little bitch. What makes me say that? Well, most of us wouldn’t actually SAY that we expect perfection of ourselves. That’s ridiculous, right?! Clearly we’re much smarter than that. 😜And yet… most of us nod along knowingly when we hear things like, “I brushed off the 20 positive comments and obsessed about the ONE negative comment.” If that’s not perfectionism, I don't know what is!
7 | Colleen Werner on Body Neutrality & Content Creation
April 04, 2023 09:00 - 46 minutes - 42.7 MBToo fat. Too skinny. Too much cellulite. Not enough muscle. Big butt? Ok, but better have a tiny waist. We are told every single day a MILLION ways that our bodies should NOT be. What the actual fuck, right? Between mainstream media, social media, and all the SuPeR heLpFuL comments our families and friends make— it’s no wonder we grow up with so much shame, anxiety and guilt around how we look and feel in our bodies. (And let’s mince no words about it, fat phobia is RACIST, too.) Just wh...
6 | The Journey From Therapist to Coach with Katie Read
March 21, 2023 09:00 - 41 minutes - 38.1 MBHave you ever been curious about the difference between life coaching and therapy? Or wanted a peek behind the curtain with either one? If you just read an Instagram or blog post on “coaching vs therapy,” there’s a very strong chance it’s ridiculously oversimplified. “Therapists work on ‘problems’ rooted in the past, coaches work on goals for the future!” COOL. Except it ain’t that simple. Thankfully, Katie Read is joining me for this episode to help us unpack some of the complexity. As you’...
5 | 5 Steps to Overcome Overwhelm
March 07, 2023 10:00 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MBHow many times have you said to yourself or someone else, “OMG, I’m SO overwhelmed”? Like… 10 times in the last week alone?!

And it’s a challenge my clients come to me with all the time: How can I stop feeling so overwhelmed??
4 | Going from Groundhog Day to Fully Alive with Jen Vertanen
February 21, 2023 10:00 - 37 minutes - 34.3 MBIt’s pretty cool that we’re living at a time when our culture is least *starting* to recognize that people (especially women) don’t cease to have value and worth as soon as they hit middle age. Of course, we still have a HELLUVA long way to go toward eliminating ageism— but thanks to people like Jen Vertanen, we’re making progress.

In her latest book, A Wild Soul Woman, she explores five landsc...

October 24, 2022 10:00 - 39 minutes - 36.3 MBAs a person who’s never been into sports, the thought of walking into a boxing ring is more than a little intimidating— but that’s exactly what I did yesterday with the support of trauma-informed boxing coach Cleveland Hughes.Not 10 minutes prior, I called it a “boxing rink” 🤡 😂 — so suffice to say, I don’t know much about boxing.
