    Left Unplugged: A Therapist's Night Confession
    Jun 19 2026

    Nate records a short, raw Left Unplugged episode for Cognate Soul Podcasts after feeling “off,” reflecting on what to do when you’re just hanging on and how his perfectionism and unmet dreams fuel frustration and overthinking at night. He shares being 45, single, often alone, missing laughter and closeness, and finding relief through connection—like recording a recent podcast with Tyler Lovell—and through using the podcast as his own therapy to laugh, cry, and reset. Drawing on 24 years in mental health, he discusses burnout, boundaries, and why he started the platform to help others share stories, while also expressing empathy for people who feel so lonely they consider unaliving themselves. He worries about bills, being a provider, and whether he’s failed as a man and father, then recalls his youngest telling him, “All I need is your love.” #CognateSoul @CognateSoul special thanks ‪@iluvnoh8‬
