This week on #FreeAdviceFriday, Dr. Spirit invites listeners to shed their emotional armor and get real about the inner work. From misunderstood boundaries and emotional burnout in marriage 💔, to rekindling romantic connection through chemistry and compatibility 💞, this episode dives deep into how our mental health patterns shape every interaction we have — especially with ourselves.

Whether it's navigating grief 🕊️, procrastination 🐌, or reclaiming joy after years of numbness 🤖, Spirit doesn't just give answers — she helps listeners find their truth beneath the question.

🔐 This isn't therapy… but it's therapy therapy.
