What if Valentine’s Day didn’t have to feel like a performance?
In this episode of Therapist Unplugged, Laurie Poole is joined by therapist and colleague Heather Caballero to rethink a holiday that often brings more pressure than connection. Together, they explore how early memories, social comparison, and cultural expectations can quietly shape how we experience February 14th.
Instead of defaulting to crowded restaurants or obligatory gestures, Laurie and Heather talk about designing a day that actually fits your life. From honoring your love language to widening the circle beyond romantic partners, this conversation offers permission to celebrate connection in ways that feel steady, personal, and real.
Whether you’re partnered, single, somewhere in between, or simply tired of the Hallmark script, this episode invites you to make Valentine’s Day your way.
🎙️ Therapist Unplugged is produced by The Montfort Group, a boutique therapy practice based in Plano, Texas, helping individuals, couples, and families build emotionally intelligent, connected lives.
