S2:E3: Therapist Mode: Why Are You Using Your Fake Voice Right Now?

Some friendships don't just survive change—they grow because of it.In this Therapist Mode episode, Elizabeth is joined by her best friend of 25 years, Greg Wright, for one of the most personal conversations of the season.Together, they look back on two decades of friendship, from high school heartbreaks (and Cherry Garcia ice cream) to adulthood, healing, and the many versions of themselves they've witnessed along the way. They talk about what happens when you stop people-pleasing, why some relationships deepen while others fall away, the importance of conflict and repair, and how personal growth changes the people you keep around you.Greg also shares what it's really like to be friends with a therapist...including his uncanny ability to catch Elizabeth using her "fake therapist voice."This episode is funny, honest, reflective, and a reminder that some of the greatest gifts in life are the people who know every version of you... and keep choosing to stay.In this episode:• The story behind the Therapist Mode series and the name Friends with (therapy) benefits• Why healing changes relationships• What 25 years of friendship can teach us about conflict, repair, and trust• The evolution of identity, boundaries, and choosing yourself• Mental wellness, self-discovery, and the people who help us become who we're meant to beConnect with Elizabeth:📸 Instagram &TikTok: @elizabethmaecarr✍️ Weekly essays: elizabethmaecarr.substack.comIf this episode resonated with you, I'd love if you'd follow the show, leave a review, and share it with someone who's been there through every version of you.About Luna Rose Candle Co.Luna Rose Candle Co. creates hand-poured soy candles, home fragrances, and thoughtfully curated seasonal collections designed to bring a little more intention and coziness into your everyday life.
