Rachel Kaplan Photo Credit: Healingfeelingshitshow.com Rachel Kaplan is a licensed mental health professional and podcaster with a unique approach to therapy. With a background in Eastern religion and spirituality, she developed the Healing and Feeling Shit Show (HFSS), a fun, informative, and life-changing blogcast where she encourages full expression of painful feelings. Her programs allow her listeners to disregard the shame often associated with emotionality so that they can confront difficult issues and move into a healing place. Rachel's podcast offers a truly unique approach to dealing with difficult emotions. The podcast is much more like a transformational course than what we typically think of as "a podcast." The episodes go deep, are all about practical actions to take, and emphasize the importance of making regular time to "feel our feels." - Rachel Gurevich, Verywell Expert Reviewer Raj Hathiramani Photo Credit: @runwithraj Raj Hathiramani is a veteran runner and coach with over 60 marathon medals to his name.
