The Mallory Grimste Podcast

Mallory Grimste is a licensed mental health therapist with over a decade of experience working specifically with adolescents, and her podcast takes that clinical background and turns it into something a teenager can actually use on a Tuesday afternoon. The show is structured as guided mental health content: episodes walk through coping strategies for anxiety, techniques for managing depression, alternatives to self-harm, guided meditations designed for teen brains, and communication frameworks like the DEAR MAN method. What makes this stand out from generic self-help content is the specificity. Grimste knows what high school anxiety actually looks like because she has spent years in rooms with teens who are living it. She covers things like how to cope with test anxiety mid-panic, what to do when a friendship group implodes, and how to build emotional regulation skills when everything feels out of control. The advice is concrete and actionable rather than vague encouragement. The show has 152 episodes and a perfect 5.0 star rating on Apple Podcasts. Episodes are released regularly and most run under 20 minutes, which is a smart length for the audience. Grimste is clear that the podcast is educational and not a substitute for actual therapy, but for teens who want practical mental health tools they can start using immediately, this fills a gap that very few other shows address directly.
