42 min - Play the Odds: Use Poker Strategies for Smarter Decisions in Love, Work, and Life with Daniel Fleshner
What if you stopped trying to make the perfect decision—and instead focused on making the best bet?
In this episode, Brittani sits down with Daniel to explore how poker strategy—especially ideas from Thinking in Bets—can transform the way we think about relationships, career choices, and everyday decision-making.
They break down concepts like probability thinking, emotional regulation, and “playing the long game,” and apply them to real-life scenarios like dating burnout, job searching, and running a business.

55 min - Using Data (Not Feelings) for Life's Decisions with Everett Uhl
What if the key to better decisions—in your life, relationships, and business—wasn’t more intuition, but better data?
In this episode, Brittani sits down with therapist Everett Uhl to explore how data-driven decision making can transform the way we approach our careers, personal habits, and even emotional awareness. They dive into the hidden problems with many therapy trainings, the pressure therapists feel to constantly “level up,” and why tracking the right metrics might matter more than adding another certification.
From sleep scores and protein intake to client referrals and lifetime customer value, this conversation explores how information—not impulse—can help you build a more sustainable and aligned life.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by self-improvement culture or unsure how to make clearer decisions in your work or relationships, this episode offers a refreshing framework: use your feelings as data, not directives.

49 min - True Authenticity and Embodying Self-Trust with Bianca Hughes
In this episode of How to Relate, therapist Bianca Hughes joins Brittani to explore the exhausting cycle of perfectionism, the pressure to meet others’ expectations, and what it truly means to live in alignment with your authentic self.

1 hr 1 min - You're in Your Own Way- How to get out of it
It's a solo episode! Together we'll explore how shame quietly shapes our reactions, conflict patterns, and intimacy. Drawing from the work of Brené Brown, Joseph Burgo, and John Gottman, she breaks down the four “buckets” of shame, how shame turns into defensiveness, and why we project our internal stories onto the people we love most.
You’ll learn how to move from reaction to responsibility — and how real intimacy begins when you stop delegating your self-worth to someone else.
