BROKE GIRL THERAPY
Hosted by BROKE GIRL THERAPY · ENGLISH
Broke Girl Therapy is a place to get real, laugh, and maybe cry a little. It is your weekly safe space with Stefanie Maegan and co-host Rose McAleese. They talk about dating, sex, relationships, love, heartbreak, friendships, and career chaos. Stefanie started the podcast because she couldn’t afford therapy or keep a man, and now she is in a healthy long-term relationship, while Rose is still navigating the dating world and her fear of commitment. They bring different perspectives but share a common theme: no matter what stage you are in life, we are all just trying to figure it out. They’re not professionals, but they bring experts on for guidance and love featuring guests with different perspectives to provide representation and remind listeners they’re not alone. With the safe space of girlhood at the heart of the podcast, they explore life’s messy, hilarious, and emotional moments together, because therapy is too expensive.

How to Help a Friend Struggling With Mental Health
2w ago01:09:16Tap to summarizeWith a lot happening in both of our lives right now, we’ve realized it’s time to slow down, focus on what’s in front of us, and come back when we have more life to talk about. Don’t worry, this isn’t goodbye. Before we go, we play a round of Retail Therapy, get a little too honest about friendship, dating, validation, and our most unhinged moments, and answer a listener question about how to support a friend going through a mental health diagnosis.

Transcribe →Being Single in Your 30s Isn’t a Failure
3w ago00:56:40Tap to summarizeWhat does dating look like when you’re entering your 30s and suddenly single again? This week, Rose and I respond to a listener navigating a breakup, dating pressure and the fear of falling behind. We get into being single in your 30s, choosing the right relationship, hyper-independence and the trad wife fantasy taking over social media. No matter your relationship status, this one might change how you think about your timeline.

Transcribe →Confessions From the Pink Bag Feat. Jessica Clarke
4w ago01:09:39Tap to summarizeSend us your questions and stories to be featured on da pod https://www.brokegirltherapy.com/contact-page Jess is back on da pod, and this time we’re letting a pink bag full of unhinged questions control the conversation. We play a new game called “Fuck Around and Find Out,” where we’re forced to answer questions about friendship, dating, sex, work, exes, resentment, secrets, and the things we usually keep to ourselves. Somehow, we go from talking about feeling loved by your friends to work addiction, bad relationship habits, old dating regrets, and a few confessions that probably should’ve stayed off the internet.

Transcribe →Losing Friends in Your 30s (and Admitting You're Jealous)
Jul 1301:07:38Tap to summarizeA TikTok about being “the jealous friend” sent us down a very personal rabbit hole. This episode gets messy, honest, and a little uncomfortable as we unpack friendship jealousy, falling out with people you love, and what happens when someone else is living the life you thought would be yours. Content warning: This episode includes conversations about mental health and self-harm. Please take care of yourself while listening. So… are you the jealous friend? Be honest.

Transcribe →Why Won't Men Moan?? + Our Full Love Island Season USA Recap
Jul 601:13:21Tap to summarizeThis week, we’re talking wedding hookups, ghosting, men being weird about moaning, hyper-independence, femininity, masculinity, and why some men swear they want to be needed until it actually happens.

Transcribe →The Pettiest Revenge Story We've Ever Read
Jun 2901:43:22Tap to summarizeThis week’s episode is basically what happens when I open the Broke Girl Therapy inbox and immediately regret it. We found two of the most unhinged listener emails we’ve ever received: one that might fully be an elaborate troll, and one archived saga so chaotic it somehow ends up in court. We also get into whether Rose and I could host an award show, highbrow vs. lowbrow comedy, Olivia Rodrigo’s all-women festival, America’s 250th birthday, a full Love Island breakdown, and the question currently dividing the internet: do white people have cousins?

Transcribe →Threesomes Are Disney, Actually
Jun 801:10:30Tap to summarizeThis week Rose and I pulled questions straight from Instagram and did a full Q&A. We talked about how to make friends in your 30s, which should honestly come with a manual. We got into books that are actually worth your time vs. books that are just vibes. And yes, we answered the threesome question. Specifically, how to ask for a threesome with another man. Rose had a story, because of course she did. And it went exactly where you think it would go.

Transcribe →Airing Our “Dirty Laundry” Feat. Rachel B.
May 2501:44:20Tap to summarizeRachel is back on Broke Girl Therapy and this episode goes from chaotic laundry debates to deep conversations about relationships, marriage, daddy issues, codependency, and what it really means to feel safe with someone. We read a listener email about waiting for commitment, reflect on growing apart in relationships, and somehow still find time to argue about how everyone does their laundry.
