In this eye-opening episode, Norwegian psychiatrist Hannah Spier joins us from Zurich to share what she discovered after years of treating anxious, depressed women in outpatient clinics — and why she ultimately walked away from a high-flying career to become a stay-at-home mother of three. Hannah is the voice behind Psychobabble with Spier, where she analyzes the psychological patterns in our culture that quietly incentivize dysfunction.

What started as a conversation about her clinical work turned into something far more personal — and far more powerful.

I’ll walk you through:

✅ Why so many women in their 30s are flooding therapists’ offices — and why it’s not a psychological problem

✅ How modern therapy (including CBT) has drifted toward endless validation instead of real behavioral change

✅ The moment Hannah realized she was on the same path as her most struggling patients

✅ What happened when she put her daughter in daycare at 7 months — and what it cost her family

✅ Why she calls feminism “an ideology of resentment” — and how she broke free from it

✅ The surprising statistics on Norwegian mothers extending maternity leave at their own expense

✅ How Cluster B personality disorders are rising — and what’s fueling them

Whether you’re a woman questioning whether your career ambitions are truly yours, a therapist wondering if your sessions are actually helping, or someone who senses that our culture’s prescription for female fulfillment just isn’t working — Hannah offers the kind of honest, medically-grounded perspective that is rarely heard today.

🔔 Remember: Anxiety and depression are often your body speaking to you. The solution isn’t always found on the therapy couch — sometimes, it’s found in how you’re choosing to live.
