Celeste The Therapist — Health
Celeste The Therapist

Shifting the way you think starts here.

Celeste the Therapist is a mental health and emotional wellness podcast created to support you in real, everyday life — not just when you’re in crisis, but as a daily practice of awareness, regulation, and intentional living.

Hosted by licensed mental health counselor Celeste Viciere, LMHC, the podcast offers grounded conversations and therapeutic insights to help you better understand yourself, your patterns, and your emotional world.

The Daily Shift

At the heart of the podcast is The Daily Shift — a short, daily ritual designed to help you pause, regulate, and reconnect with yourself, even on your busiest days. Each episode offers one simple perspective to support emotional awareness, nervous system regulation, and small shifts that create lasting change.

You don’t need to listen perfectly.
You don’t need to listen every day.
The ritual is here when you need a moment to come back to yourself.

Long-Form Episodes

In addition to The Daily Shift, the podcast features longer conversations exploring mental health, relationships, childhood experiences, emotional growth, and healing — all through an accessible, therapist-led lens.

This podcast is not about quick fixes or surface-level advice.
It’s about creating space, building insight, and learning how to meet yourself with honesty and compassion.

If you’re looking for a podcast that feels supportive, grounding, and human — you’re in the right place.

Daily Shift 178: Choosing yourself is not selfish — it's survival Jun 23, 2026

Show notes

This is the episode the whole people pleasing cluster has been building toward. Because after everything — understanding where it came from, seeing what it costs, learning to disappoint people, reclaiming your reactions — it all comes down to this. Choosing yourself is not selfish. It is the most necessary, most courageous, most life-giving thing a people pleaser can do. And it's available to you right now.

If you've spent your whole life putting yourself last and calling it virtue, this one is going to reframe everything.

Today's shift: Choose yourself in one specific way today — not instead of caring for others, but alongside it.

Daily Shift 177: You are not responsible for other people's reactions Jun 18, 2026

Show notes

One of the deepest beliefs driving people pleasing is this — if someone reacts badly it must be because of something I did wrong. But other people's reactions belong to them. Their disappointment, their anger, their withdrawal — those are their emotions to manage, not yours to prevent. In today's episode, Celeste draws a clear line between what is yours to own and what was never yours to carry in the first place.

Today's shift: Identify one reaction from someone in your life that you've been taking responsibility for — and practice giving it back to them today.

EP 542 The Week My Body Broke Down: What Grief Actually Feels Like Jun 16, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Celeste gets personal about the loss of her older brother and what happened in her body after the funeral was planned and the logistics were handled. She opens up about the physical reality of grief — the neck and head tension that hit her the moment she finally slowed down — and why so many of us don't recognize grief in our bodies until it forces us to stop.

Celeste breaks down the somatic response to loss, what's happening neurologically when we go into caretaker/logistics mode during bereavement, and why the "strong one" in the family often grieves last. If you've ever felt like grief hit you out of nowhere — or felt it in your chest, your neck, your sleeplessness before you felt it in your tears — this episode is for you.

Topics covered:

Why grief is delayed when we go into planning/survival mode
How the nervous system stores what we haven't processed
Physical symptoms of grief that often go unrecognized
Tools for somatic release and nervous system support
Why grief ambushes us — and how to work with it instead of against it

Daily Shift 176: How to sit with the discomfort of disappointing someone Jun 11, 2026

Show notes

Knowing you should say no is one thing. Actually sitting with the discomfort of someone being disappointed in you is another. For people pleasers that discomfort doesn't just feel bad — it feels unbearable. Like something is wrong. Like you've done something terrible. In today's episode, Celeste talks about why disappointing people feels so physically and emotionally overwhelming — and how to stay in your decision without caving just to make the feeling stop.

Today's shift: Let someone be disappointed today — and practice staying in your decision anyway.

Daily Shift 175: When saying yes to everyone means saying no to yourself Jun 09, 2026

Show notes

Every yes you give has a cost. And for people pleasers that cost is almost always paid from the same account — their own time, energy, peace, and sense of self. In today's episode, Celeste makes the hidden math of people pleasing visible — and helps you see that every yes you say to someone else is simultaneously a no to something inside yourself.

Today's shift: Look at your last three yeses — and identify what you said no to yourself in order to say yes to them.

Daily Shift 174: You can't people please your way into feeling loved Jun 06, 2026

Show notes

SHOW NOTES People pleasing often starts as a strategy for getting love and staying connected. If I'm easy enough, helpful enough, agreeable enough — they'll love me. But it never actually works. Because the love you earn through performance never feels like the love you were looking for. In today's episode, Celeste explains why people pleasing and genuine love are fundamentally incompatible — and what it actually takes to feel truly loved.

Today's shift: Identify one relationship where you've been performing for love instead of receiving it — and get honest about how that's been working for you.

EP 541 The Heart-Brain Connection: Using HeartMath for Emotional Regulation Jun 03, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Celeste explores HeartMath — a research-backed system that uses heart coherence to regulate your nervous system, manage stress, and support emotional healing.

What Is HeartMath?

Developed by the HeartMath Institute, this approach is built on 30+ years of research showing that the heart and brain are in constant communication — and that your emotional state directly shapes your heart rhythm, which in turn affects how you think, feel, and respond.

**Key Concepts -Heart coherence — a state where your heart, brain, and nervous system are in sync; you feel calmer, clearer, and more grounded - HRV (Heart Rate Variability)** — a measure of nervous system flexibility and resilience; HeartMath techniques shift your HRV into a healthier pattern - The heart sends *more* signals to the brain than the brain sends to the heart — your emotional state is a physiological event, not just a mental one

Quick Coherence® Technique (60 seconds) 1. Shift your focus to your heart area and breathe slowly — inhale 5–6 seconds, exhale 5–6 seconds 2. Recall something or someone that brings genuine feelings of appreciation or calm 3. Hold that feeling while continuing to breathe

Use this before a hard conversation, in a stressful moment, or as a daily reset.

Why It Matters for Healing Many people carrying unresolved trauma are stuck in survival mode — the body hasn't gotten the message that it's safe. Heart coherence techniques give you a body-based tool to interrupt that cycle in real time, not just talk about it.

Daily Shift 173: The cost of being easy to be around Jun 01, 2026

Show notes

Being easy to be around sounds like a compliment. But for a lot of people it's come at an enormous cost — their voice, their needs, their sense of self. In today's episode, Celeste talks about what it actually takes to maintain the reputation of being easygoing — and why the people who are always easy to be around are often the ones struggling the most on the inside.

Today's shift: Ask yourself honestly — what has being easy to be around actually cost you?

Daily Shift 172: People pleasing is not about other people — it's about your fear May 31, 2026

Show notes

People pleasing feels like it's about being considerate. About keeping the peace. About being a good person. But at its core it has nothing to do with other people at all. It's about your fear. Fear of rejection, conflict, withdrawal, not being enough. In today's episode, Celeste gets to the real root of people pleasing — and why naming the fear underneath it is the only thing that actually changes it.

Today's shift: Name the specific fear that drives your people pleasing — and get honest about whether that fear is running your decisions.

Daily Shift 171: The difference between being kind and being a people pleaser May 30, 2026

Show notes

One of the biggest reasons people struggle to identify their own people pleasing is because it looks so much like kindness from the outside. And from the inside too. In today's episode, Celeste draws a clear line between genuine kindness — which comes from a place of abundance and choice — and people pleasing — which comes from a place of fear and obligation. Understanding the difference doesn't make you less kind. It makes your kindness real.

If you've been using kindness as a cover story for people pleasing, this one is going to be an honest mirror.

Today's shift: The next time you do something for someone, pause and ask yourself — am I doing this because I want to, or because I'm afraid of what happens if I don't?
