Therapy sessions usually consist of dishing and venting over a bottle of wine with our girlfriend of choice. Reading our favorite new blog, Chicken Fried Therapy, is like listening to that crazy friend relay her priceless anecdotes, while absorbing her contagious zest for life.

A 37 year old single mom in Austin, our zany non-therapist sheds light on her life as a South Austin gal holding her own in Momville. Her rants about everything from divorce, dessert and her late night Soap Net addiction are not only honest, but totally hilarious. After all, her two New Year’s Resolutions were: 1) start drunk dialing friends and 2) get so skinny that friends and family start to worry about me.

Far from a parenting how to, Chicken Fried Therapy prescribes the laughs that we need to get through the week.
