Redefining Us: A Podcast & CE Courses for Women's Mental Health & Motherhood

Honest conversations. Bold womanhood. Radical self-return.

You are not broken. You are evolving.
And here, we talk about every gritty, glorious part of that process.

Hosted by Stephanie Konter-O’Hara, LPC and Danielle Brill, Mental Health Advocate. Redefining Us is a podcast that holds space for women navigating the complex realities of identity, motherhood, sexuality, mental health, and healing.

We go deep-not for shock value, but because truth-telling sets us free.

New episodes drop every other Thursday. They're full of real talk, brave stories, and the kind of honesty that doesn’t always make it into everyday conversations. Whether you're folding laundry, walking the dog, or stealing five quiet minutes in the bathroom, there's a place for you here.
