The Off White Podcast

After divorce, many people find themselves asking a confusing question: “I’m not an angry person… so why does my temper feel louder now?”In this episode of the Off White Podcast, we explore anger not as a character flaw, but as a form of communication—especially in the aftermath of relational rupture. Drawing from the perspective of Marriage and Family Therapy, we unpack why anger often surfaces after divorce and what it may actually be protecting.We discuss how anger frequently acts as a secondary emotion, shielding deeper feelings like grief, fear, and shame. Through conversations about attachment wounds, relational trauma, and nervous system responses, we explore why emotional reactions can feel more intense after a relationship ends—even when the divorce was the right decision.We also examine the cultural and relational dynamics that shape how people express anger, including gender expectations and the roles people were allowed to play within their marriages.Rather than trying to eliminate anger, this episode reframes healing as learning to listen to what anger is trying to tell us—developing awareness, boundaries, and healthier ways of responding.If you’ve ever wondered why your reactions feel different after divorce, this conversation invites you to approach anger with curiosity instead of shame.

In season 2's debut episode, Angie brings us the topic of Loyalty vs. Attachment. This stems from a post by a wonderful Instagram follow, @devin.the.one. Angie, Scott and Shane take Devin's post and expound upon its brilliant position and apply it to their lives and histories in the therapy space. If you have a favorite Instagram account that you think the Off White Team should be following for more content like this, drop it in the comments of our post! And a special thank you again to Devin for his video being the inspiration for season two's first episode!

Shane is joined for the third time by his wife, Stephanie on this latest episode of the Off White Podcast. The two discuss career changes and the affects it has or can have on a partnership. They tackle this conversation from the standpoint of both having been the partner who is changing careers and the partner who has been the supporter or cheerleader of said change. Future episodes on this topic will be discussed amongst your favorite co-hosts, Angie and Scott in later releases!

It's Season 2 with the start of 2025! Angie, Scott and Shane talk about the difference in fighting to be right, versus fighting for a common resolution (fighting nice). We all want to be heard in argument and dispute, but do we sometimes allow our own voice and desires to cloud our judgement for what is genuinely right? Do we make it harder for folks to open up to us? Do we fight like we are in court? Is there a way to share your feelings and still be open to hear the other party? We've all been here. This is a skill to be developed and practiced consistently in an effort to have strong and healthy communication patterns with others in our lives.

Angie, Scott and Shane take a moment to talk on Person of the Therapist (POTT), or Self of the Therapist. A key component to the successful practice of MFT's, POTT acts as the mirror to the therapist to ensure they can recognize, or identify pressure points in their own world that may prohibit them, or challenge them in providing quality assistance to their clients. If you as a client ever feel that your therapist is responding in a questionable fashion, or they are less balanced in their mood or energy, this topic may help you to understand the why and encourage you to voice the concern constructively.This is not just for the therapist and it can be applied to all people. To know yourself can often be the most challenging pursuit. Being honest with yourself about all aspects of life and how they may impact you is not easy. POTT can help with this by encouraging intentionality when it comes to the self check-in!Thank you for supporting us for our first year of podcasting! This will be a wrap on season 1, the year 2025.

Angie, Scott and Shane go into the power of positive thinking. In a world that presents its own challenges and hurdles to remain positive, it is often our own negative talk that hinders us the most.In this episode we talk about controlling our own narratives and accepting the challenges that life presents as opportunities to grow, learn and feel everything life has to offer.Our challenge to you is to take a few minutes each day and practice gratitude. Author a different version of the negative talk that comes to your brain. Be intentional about positivity and gratitude each day.As always, if you've enjoyed these episodes, please do us the favor and share your thoughts and review the show wherever you consume your podcasts:)

Angie, Scott and Shane begin the conversation on notes to/from our younger selves. The benefit of hindsight, or phrases like, "if I only knew then what I know now..." all come to mind as we play the game of revisionist history in our own lives and legacies. If we COULD pass along our own lessons, or give ourselves permission to learn from, or accept the elements of lessons learned in the past, how much positive impact could that have on us in the here and now?

Welcome to a brief introduction to the topic of kink and consent. Sex, sexuality, promiscuity or adventurous bedroom and intimate activity can be uncomfortable to discuss.

In the second installment of the Off White Podcast Mini Series, Stephanie returns to give her perspective on familial cutoffs. Stephanie shares the challenges of enduring family cutoffs as a person outside the original decision, an experience different than what was shared on our full episode with Angie, Scott and Shane on November 1st. Family and any cutoff is challenging, especially in the holiday season. It's becoming more commonplace for these choices to be made, but are they made well and for strong reason? Hear a slightly more in-depth interview from a couple who has endured this very challenge.

As we enter the holiday season, the topic of cutoffs grows a different feeling. Angie, Scott and Shane speak a bit on their experiences in this topic, as well as some surface level thoughts that come along with navigating the challenges of cutoffs. While we do not advocate purely for cutoff, we feel it an important topic to bring conversation to with it's increased occurrences over the last two generations. We discuss why one may choose to cutoff someone off, the challenges that come with being the black sheep and the process one goes through before, during and after the cutoff.

Angie, Scott and Shane are back to discuss the ever growing topic of pop psychology. What is it? Is it inherently good or bad? Is it a viable use and tool for those who are unable or unwilling to see a therapist of their own? We also tackle things like personal responsibility of the client, or persons utilizing the tool of the tik tok therapist and how using a diagnosis as a crutch and excuse to not put in the work on your side of the street is furthering the discontent you may experience.
