BetterHelp

This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. In 2026, rather than chasing a new you, how can you let go of what’s weighing you down, instead? This year, feel lighter. The new year is an opportunity — but you don’t need to be a new person. We all have things that weigh us down. Signing up for therapy with BetterHelp can shine a light on what's been heavy and illuminate all the possibilities for the year ahead. It’s a small act of courage that can yield big results. After all, we can’t reach our goals without first making space for them. BetterHelp therapists work according to a strict code of conduct and are fully licensed in the US. BetterHelp does the initial matching work for you so you can focus on your therapy goals. A short questionnaire helps identify your needs and preferences, and our 12+ years of experience and industry-leading match fulfillment rate, means we typically get it right the first time. If you aren’t happy with your match, switch to a different therapist at any time from our tailored recs. With over 30,000 therapists, BetterHelp is one of the world's largest online therapy platforms, having served over 5 million people globally. And it works—with an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 for a live session based on over 1.7 million client reviews. You can’t step into a lighter version of yourself without leaving behind what’s been weighing you down. Therapy can help you clear space. Sign up and get 10% OFF at betterhelp.com/astonishing
