Sam & Sierra may not be therapists, but they will tell it to you straight (even if they aren’t). Each episode, they answer listeners’ questions with compassion, radical honesty, and all the relationship advice you don’t want—but definitely need. And no, it’s not always “just break up.” (Unless you really should!)

  • Be Careful

    Update: Be careful of adhd meds. They are prescription meth. Of course your mood is better on meth. In some cases, they cause literal psychosis. Some prescription drugs have a stigma for a reason and these meds are one of them.

    These two are such an important voice with nuanced, vulnerable and insightful advice.

  • Locus of control

    I love everything about this podcast and look forward to listening every time it comes out. Thank you for your care, compassion and also the sweet hilarity! One small thing: that I offer with love: I’ve heard Sam in numerous occasions refer to a « lotus of control » but I believe you mean « locus » of control, which is is a psychological term that denotes where, in our minds when we are processing conflict, we locate the source of control (internal or external). Sending so many hugs to y’all
