Guiding you through life's challenges with a little wit and a whole lot of wisdom.
Where Mental Health and Pop Culture Collide. Jana chats with well-known personalities, uncovering stories of courage and tenacity, and then in the companion series Pop Therapy, Jana casts her therapeutic lens on the drama of reality TV & the Bravosphere, unpacking the dynamics we see play out on our screens.
Diving into pop culture & the Bravosphere, direct from the therapist's couch.
A self-proclaimed reality TV enthusiast, Bravosphere aficionado, and pop-culture commentator, Jana isn't shy about using the behaviours we see play out on our TVs and in the tabloids as a frame of reference in her work.
From conflict to connection, pop culture offers more than just entertainment - it’s a mirror of human behaviour, revealing how people live, love and relate in the real world.
Like having therapy with a wine & your best friend.
Jana Firestone is a qualified therapist with a degree in psychology and a master's in counselling. She is also a bestselling author and the host of The Curious Life Podcast, now in its seventh year.
