86 the Shame


🔥 Hey, Service Industry — This One’s for You.

You’ve been surviving. Let’s talk about how to actually feel better.


You don’t have to be falling apart to deserve support.
You don’t need a diagnosis.
You don’t have to pretend the shift didn’t wreck you.
You have to exist in the chaos that is restaurant life, and know you deserve better than burnout.

Whether you’re:

  • Smiling through someone’s third custom dressing request

  • Picking up another double because rent is due

  • Or wondering why you still feel fried even on your day off

This space is for you.


✨ What We’re Offering (Totally Free)

Free pro bono mental health sessions
with a supervised, licensed clinical therapist
for young adults (ages 18–30) in the service industry.

We see you. We are you. And we know what it’s like to feel overstimulated, overworked, and under-supported — especially if you’re neurodivergent.

These sessions are:

  • Confidential

  • Trauma-aware

  • ND-affirming

  • Low-pressure and judgment-free

No forms. No labels. Just space to exhale.


🧠 Why My Spicy Brain?

Because we know what it’s like to have a brain that runs hot.
To work in environments that demand perfection but give zero grace.
To feel like you’re too much and not enough all at once.

We’re building something different — grounded in humanity, softness, and truth.
And we want to offer it to the folks holding our communities together, one shift at a time.


👀 How to Book:

Step 1: Be a young adult working in restaurants, bars, or service.
Step 2: Want someone to talk to.
Step 3: Click below and tell us a little bit about you.
That’s it.

Free mental health support for the ones who keep it together — even when it’s killing them.


You ever have that dream where you’re triple sat, the POS system freezes, and table 11 needs extra ranch again?

That’s not just stress. That’s a trauma loop.

If you:

  • Flinch when your phone vibrates after a shift

  • Think sleep is when the worst parts of work show up

  • Feel rage at people who say “self-care” like it’s not a luxury

  • Work in restaurants, bars, coffee shops, or food service

  • Think you probably don’t “deserve therapy” because others have it worse
    Then yeah — this is for you.


🍽️ Free Therapy for Restaurant & Service Workers

We offer completely free, trauma-informed mental health support with a supervised, licensed clinician.

This is real. This is not corporate wellness. This is for you.

No paperwork. No diagnosis. No judgment. Just:

  • Space to talk or not talk

  • Support for your spicy, overworked brain

  • Help with the stuff no one trained you for:
    like boundaries, burnout, dissociation, rage, and grief.


🧠 Why? Because You’re Not Broken. You’re Burned.

And no one thinks to offer water to the person carrying the trays.

We’re here to say: You’re not weak.
You’re not too sensitive.
You’re not imagining it.

That table you still dream about? That’s your body remembering.


🪑 Pull Up a Chair

This isn’t therapy for “people like them.”
This is therapy for you — the one who shows up, covers shifts, holds the line, and never lets it drop.
