Ep 13 | Finally Heard: Processing the COVID Aftermath with a Clinical Psychologist

If you questioned the COVID-19 response, not to be rebellious, but because you genuinely cared, you’re not alone. Maybe you were one of the many who stayed up late researching, who cited credible sources, only to be called misinformed. Maybe you said “this doesn’t feel right” long before the headlines began to shift. Maybe your intuition was loud, and the cost of listening to it was high. In this deeply personal conversation, Alexandra invites clinical psychologist Dr. Roger McFillin into what she calls an “open therapy session.” Together, they unpack the emotional aftermath of COVID: the grief, the anger, the validation, and the quiet moments of, “I was trying to share this information years ago.” If you felt silenced for asking questions, lost trust in institutions, or were pushed to the margins for seeking informed consent, this episode will feel like exhale. You’ll hear: What it’s like to watch long-dismissed concerns finally be validated How fear, intuition, and motherhood collided during the pandemic The emotional toll of your instincts being right, and still not feeling heard How to move forward when there’s no apology, no closure, and no clear end This isn’t about blame, shame, or judgement. It’s about being brave enough to process what happened, and clear enough to understand how to be prepared if it ever happens again. Listen, follow, and contact Dr. Roger McFillin .
