Hey future internet besties!

Valerie: 00:00:12

We are thrilled to introduce you to But For Real, the podcast where all your

Valerie: 00:00:17

swirling thoughts about mental health, pop culture, and how to human are

Valerie: 00:00:21

blended into one delicious variety show.

Valerie: 00:00:25

I'm Valerie, your resident elder millennial child free cat lady,

Emerson: 00:00:29

and I'm Emerson, your resident chronically online Gen Z brat.

Emerson: 00:00:34

And we'll be serving up a new episode every other week that will take you on a

Emerson: 00:00:38

wild ride through the cultural zeitgeist.

Emerson: 00:00:41

From hilarious stories and rays of much needed hope, to debunking the

Emerson: 00:00:46

latest insane wellness trend on TikTok.

Valerie: 00:00:48

We are both therapists, either licensed,

Emerson: 00:00:52

or on the way to getting licensed.

Valerie: 00:00:54

But of course, this is just a little podcast and not a

Valerie: 00:00:57

substitute for mental health treatment.

Emerson: 00:00:59

On each episode, we feature anonymous listener submissions and would

Emerson: 00:01:03
