Description:
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 154: When there was no goodbye
5/13/2026
Some of the hardest grief to carry is the kind that came without warning. No chance to say what needed to be said. No closure. No final conversation. Just here one day and gone the next — whether that's a death, a relationship that ended abruptly, or a door that closed before you were ready. In today's episode, Celeste talks about what it means to grieve without closure and why waiting for it might be keeping you stuck.
If you're carrying a loss that never got a proper ending, this one is for you.
Today's shift: Stop waiting for closure to come from the outside — and start creating it from within.

Daily Shift 153: Grieving someone who is still alive
5/12/2026
One of the most confusing and isolating forms of grief is grieving someone who hasn't died. A parent who was never really present. A friendship that slowly disappeared. A relationship that ended but the person is still there in your life, on your phone, on your social media. In today's episode, Celeste talks about ambiguous loss — the grief that doesn't come with a funeral, a casserole, or permission from anyone around you to fall apart.
If you're mourning a relationship with someone who is still alive and don't know how to make sense of what you're feeling, this one will help you name it.
Today's shift: Give yourself permission to grieve this relationship — even though the person is still here.

Daily Shift 152: The stages of grief were never meant to be a checklist
5/9/2026
Most people have heard of the five stages of grief — denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. And most people think they're supposed to move through them in order, check each one off, and come out healed on the other side. But that's not what the research says, and it's not what grief actually looks like in real life. In today's episode, Celeste sets the record straight on the stages of grief — what they were actually meant to do, and why forcing yourself through a checklist might be making your healing harder, not easier.
If you've ever felt like you're grieving wrong, this one will give you a lot of relief.
Today's shift: Let go of the timeline you think you're supposed to be on — and trust where you actually are today.

Daily Shift 151: You don't have to be strong right now
5/8/2026
When loss hits, one of the first things people say is "stay strong." And most of us comply — because we were taught that strength means not falling apart. But what if the most courageous thing you could do right now is stop performing strength and actually feel what's there? In today's episode, Celeste challenges the idea that holding it together is the same as healing — and gives you permission to put the armor down.
If you've been the strong one for so long you don't even know how to stop, this one is for you.
Today's shift: Identify one place in your life where you've been performing strength — and give yourself permission to just be human there today.

Daily Shift 150: Grief lives in your body, not just your mind
5/7/2026
We tend to think of grief as something that happens in our heads — the thoughts, the memories, the sadness. But grief is just as much a body experience as it is an emotional one. The tightness in your chest. The exhaustion that won't lift. The way your appetite disappears or takes over completely. In today's episode, Celeste breaks down what grief actually does to your nervous system — and why taking care of your body is not separate from processing your loss. It's part of it.
If you've been wondering why you feel grief physically, this one will help you understand what's actually happening inside you.
Today's shift: Check in with your body today — not your thoughts. Notice where you're holding it.

Daily Shift 149: Grief isn't only about death
5/6/2026
When most people hear the word grief, they think about losing someone to death. But grief shows up in so many other places — the end of a relationship, a friendship that faded, a version of yourself you had to leave behind, a life that didn't go the way you planned. In today's episode, Celeste opens up the grief conversation by expanding what we're even allowed to grieve in the first place.
If you've ever felt a deep loss but told yourself it didn't count because nobody died, this one is for you.
Today's shift: Name one thing you've been carrying as sadness that you haven't yet given yourself permission to call grief.

Daily Shift 148: You're allowed to want a different pace
5/5/2026
Not everyone has to live at full speed. But somewhere along the way, wanting a slower, calmer life got labeled as laziness — or worse, as not being ambitious enough. In today's episode, Celeste closes out the burnout cluster with the most honest question of all: what if the pace you've been keeping was never actually yours to begin with?
This one is about more than burnout recovery. It's about choosing, maybe for the first time, the life you actually want.
Today's shift: Name the pace you actually want and take one step today to protect it.

Daily Shift 147: Recovery from burnout is not a weekend
5/4/2026
Two days off won't undo months of depletion. Real recovery from burnout is slower, quieter, and more intentional than a quick reset. In today's episode, Celeste talks about why we keep expecting a weekend to fix what took months to build — and what sustainable recovery actually looks like.
If you've tried to rest and still don't feel better, this one will explain why.
Today's shift: Choose one sustainable habit — not one big reset.

Daily Shift 147: You can't pour from a regulated nervous system you don't have
Everyone's heard "you can't pour from an empty cup." But what happens when the cup itself is broken? In today's episode, Celeste takes that idea deeper — into your nervous system. Because it's not just about being full. It's about being regulated. And if your system is dysregulated, no amount of rest or self-care will stick until you address what's underneath.
If you keep trying to take care of everyone else while running on fumes, this one will change how you think about it.
Today's shift: Do one regulation practice before you give anything to anyone today.

Daily Shift 146: Doing less is not the same as giving up
5/2/2026
Somewhere along the way, most of us learned that slowing down means you're not serious. That doing less means you don't care enough. In today's episode, Celeste challenges that belief directly — and makes the case that reducing your load isn't quitting. It's one of the most courageous things you can do when you're running on empty.
If guilt shows up every time you try to slow down, this one is for you.
Today's shift: Identify one thing you can put down today — without guilt.

Daily Shift 145: Your body gave you signs — you just kept overriding them
5/1/2026
Your body has been trying to talk to you. The tension in your shoulders. The foggy mind. The short fuse. The exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix. In today's episode, Celeste breaks down what it actually looks like when your nervous system is sending distress signals — and why so many of us have learned to ignore them.
If you've been pushing through signals your body has been sending for a while, this one will help you start listening again.
Today's shift: Notice one signal today — and instead of overriding it, listen.

Daily Shift 143: You didn't get here overnight
4/30/2026
Burnout doesn't happen in a day. It's the result of a hundred small moments where you pushed through, ignored the signs, and kept going because that's what you were taught to do. In today's episode, Celeste breaks down how we end up depleted — and why the buildup was never your fault.
If you've been beating yourself up for burning out, this one will give you some relief.
Today's shift: Stop blaming yourself for the buildup. Awareness is where the healing starts.

Daily Shift 142: Burnout doesn't always look like falling apart
4/29/2026
Burnout doesn't always announce itself. Sometimes it looks like staying busy, going numb, or just feeling nothing while you keep showing up. In today's episode, Celeste talks about the quiet version of burnout — the one that hides behind productivity and performance — and why you don't have to hit rock bottom to say "this is too much."
If you've been telling yourself you're fine while running on empty, this one is for you.
Today's shift: You don't have to fix anything — just name where you actually are.

EP 539 Colon Cancer Is Rising in Younger Adults: What You Need to Know | Dr. Avishek Kumar
4/28/2026
Colon cancer is no longer just a concern for older adults. More and more younger people are being diagnosed — often at later stages.
In this episode, I sit down with board-certified medical oncologist Dr. Avishek Kumar to talk about why this shift is happening and what people need to start paying attention to.
We explore how symptoms are often dismissed or misdiagnosed, the patterns he's seeing firsthand, and the critical warning signs that should never be ignored.
This is a conversation about awareness, advocacy, and learning how to listen to your body before small signals become bigger concerns.
In this episode, we discuss:
If something feels off in your body, it's worth paying attention to.

In today's Daily Shift, we explore what to do when a boundary keeps getting crossed — and why repeating yourself isn't the answer.
A boundary isn't just what you say. It's what you do when it's crossed. Consequences aren't punishment — they're how boundaries become real.
