Let’s Sit With This
Pull up a chair, sit with the hard stuff, and grow.
A podcast about the things we usually avoid — with humor, honesty, and practical help.
You don’t have to hold it all together here.
If you’re the one people count on — at work, at home, in crisis — it can feel impossible to slow down, let alone feel everything. Maybe you’re used to powering through. Maybe it looks like you’re fine. But inside, you’re carrying more than anyone knows.
Let’s Sit With This is a podcast for that quiet, heavy place — where things are tender, layered, and a little messy. I created it as a way to share the same grounded, relatable support I offer in the therapy room… but in your earbuds, when you need it most.

You’ll hear what inspired the podcast, what to expect, and why this might be the space you didn’t know you needed.
I’m Kristen Callaway — a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, trauma nerd, dark humor fan, and host of this podcast.
I work with adults who are tired of white-knuckling their way through life. People who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or lost — even if everything looks “fine” on the outside. Whether it’s trauma, anxiety, burnout, or just the weight of being a human in this world, I’ve sat with a lot of it.
In therapy, I teach nervous system tools, grounding skills, and deep insight work — the kind that helps people feel more in control of their lives. The podcast? It’s the same vibe, just without the couch. (And yes, I still bring the fidgets and sarcasm.)
What You’ll Hear
This isn’t a lecture or a highlight reel. It’s the kind of honest, relatable, “oh wow, me too” stuff that actually helps.
You’ll hear:
Grounding practices for when everything feels like too much
Insightful (but not jargony) education about trauma, anxiety, and healing
Boundaries, grief, resilience — and all the messy in-between
Reflections from my own life and work — because I’m human too
Encouragement that meets you where you are, not where you “should” be
Whether you’re doing dishes, driving home from a shift, or lying awake at 2am — there’s space for you here.
