Beater Cars and Freedom Cars: How Our Vehicles Shaped Our Lives

In this episode of My Therapist Hates You, Carly and Hannah take a hilarious, and occasionally heartbreaking drive down memory lane to explore the cars that shaped their lives. From childhood backseats to busted high school beaters, they unpack how car ownership—or the lack of it—impacted their freedom, identity, and safety.They reflect on family car insecurity, the stigma of driving unreliable vehicles, and the shame or pride attached to certain cars. They open up about "freedom cars"—the vehicles that helped them escape toxic relationships or unsafe environments—and what those moments taught them about autonomy, class, and survival.If you’ve ever named your car, slept in your car, or coasted on empty for too long—this episode is for you.Support us on Patreon for bonus episodes:⁠patreon.com/mytherapisthatesyouFollow us on all the things:⁠https://www.instagram.com/mytherapisthatesu/⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@mytherapisthatesyoupod⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/MTHYPod⁠
