Real Talk About Mental Wellness with Venus Austin - Episode #93

Send us a text

The Peace & Prosperity Podcast is a bi-weekly conversation with Jason Phillips, LCSW, licensed therapist and confidence expert in Raleigh, NC, discussing all things related to self-love and self-confidence, and how we can improve ourselves personally and professionally.

In this episode, Jason sits down with Venus for a raw, honest discussion about burnout, grief, and the cost of always being “the strong one.” Venus opens up about her own experience with burnout—going from managing eight tasks at once to barely handling two—and how that shift forced her to confront her mental health.

They explore how grief shows up in unexpected ways, including the loss of her beloved dog, Coco Chanel, and how society often overlooks that kind of pain. Jason shares reflections from his time in hospice and the personal losses that shaped his healing journey.

Together, they challenge the myth that vulnerability is weakness, offering a powerful reminder: you only get one mind, one body, one life—and it deserves to be cared for.
