The OCD Whisperer Podcast with Kristina Orlova
The OCD Whisperer Podcast explores anxiety, OCD, and mental health through unscripted, human-centered conversations and personal stories. Featuring clinicians, creatives, public figures, and everyday people, the show looks at how anxiety, fear, pressure, and identity shape our lives — and how people learn to live alongside them.
Hosted by Kristina Orlova, a licensed therapist with lived experience of OCD, the podcast centers honest conversation over polished answers. Episodes are reflective, unscripted, and grounded in real life, allowing space for nuance, curiosity, and moments that don’t always resolve neatly.
This is a podcast for anyone who has questioned themselves, felt overwhelmed, or wondered what’s happening beneath the surface of anxiety, OCD, and mental health — and what it means to be human while living with it.
