Back On the Couch: Meaningful conversations return May 14th, 2025

Loading player...

After a period of reflection and growth, On the Couch with Carly returns on MAY 14, 2025, with fresh perspectives on mental health, relationships, and the messy parts of being human.

On the Couch returns with three powerful episodes exploring fatherhood with Justice Mukheli, my solo episode on the collective experience of motherhood, and complex conversations about identity with Joseph Dana. Healing happens in relationships, not isolation.

Until May 14th, please take good care of yourself. I can't wait to be back On the Couch with you again.
