Let’s Sit With This
A podcast for when life is hard, you’re hurting, and you need some rest.
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.
Hosted by trauma therapist Kristen Callaway, LMFT, this podcast offers practical skills to help ground during the really hard moments, honest conversations and reflections on the hard and painful parts of life we don’t often talk about, and kind encouragement to help you grow. If you’re tired of carrying your burdens alone, Kristen invites you to slow down and sit with it together so you can move forward.

Meet Your Host
I’m Kristen Callaway, a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist in Oklahoma — and the voice behind Let’s Sit With This.
I work with adults who are tired of white-knuckling their way through life. The ones who look fine on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or broken inside. Trauma, grief, and chronic stress take a real toll — and they often leave the body feeling like an unsafe place to be.
In my therapy room, I sit with people and their pain from past hurtful and traumatic experiences. What often shows up is their panic attacks, dissociation, flashbacks, and deep mourning. It’s an honor to walk a healing journey with someone, so they feel less alone.
This podcast came from my love of educating others about lesser talked about sides of trauma and healing, and wanting to offer practical ways to help in the hard moments that happen outside of the therapy room.
Time and time again I’ve heard “I wish I had you in that moment, I couldn’t remember what you said or what we did.”
Now you do.
The skills I use most and the truths I return to often — they’re all here, in your ears, whenever you need them.
No pressure. No performance. Just a place to exhale.
Because healing doesn’t always start with a breakthrough. Sometimes it starts with one quiet moment of honesty.
