Do you wrestle with feelings of being too dependent or--at the other end of the spectrum--overly independent? If you, or someone you love, struggles with finding the ideal balance between these two poles, you're not alone. Given society's tendency to foster the ideal of independence (or hyper-independence), many individuals, couples, and families struggle with discovering the ideal level of interdependence that fosters safety and the ability to individuate, bloom, and grow. Join Dr. Carla and mental health expert Manami Yamamoto, LMFT, for a gentle conversation about the art of creating healthy interdependence. Topics discussed include enmeshment, secure attachment, insecure attachment, anxious attachment, boundaries, emotional awareness, emotional struggles, balance, autonomy, personal freedom, collectivism, individualism, interdependence, codependency, co-support, boundaries, cultural needs, cultural differences, hyper-independence, and anxiety.

Please note that this episode contains sensitive trauma-related material; listener discretion is advised.

Do you look for hidden messages in dreams, oracle cards, or even tea leaves? If so, you’re not crazy and you’re surely not alone. It’s natural–and often very comforting–to gain “mystical” insights and assurances that help us navigate this wild journey of life. In fact, the art of studying dreams and other forms of psychological and spiritual analysis has been practiced by humans for thousands of years. When we mindfully slow down to listen to our dreams–to really pay attention to them–we can discover their messages. From helping you get unstuck to showing you a path forward, dreams have the power to help you learn, grow, and lead your best life.

Join Dr. Carla Manly and dream expert Dan Lawrence—psychoanalyst and consultant—for an eye-opening exploration of the fascinating realm of dreams, imagination, and the creative world. Topics discussed include dream analysis, relationships, the body-mind-spirit connection, numinosity, imagination, psychotherapy, synchronicity, depth psychology, Carl Jung, dream architecture, technology, patterns, dream technology, creativity, play, intergenerational patterns, the intergenerational transmission of violence, tarot cards, oracle cards, Zen, mat surfing, and dreams.

Have you ever felt truly and deeply alone? That you are completely isolated behind thick walls or an invisible shell–even when surrounded by a crowd of people or friends? Humans–like most other animals–thrive when they feel connected to others. So it makes sense that loneliness–which is very different from making a choice to spend time alone–negatively impacts physical and psychological health. As research shows us that connection is the key, I've reached out to a top expert on connection for insights on this important topic.

Join Dr. Carla Manly and Dr. Adam Dorsay, author, podcaster, TEDx speaker, and connection expert, for a compassionate exploration into the realm of loneliness and the steps we can take to increase connection. With loneliness at epidemic levels, we can all use tips on how to foster healthy relationships to boost mental, emotional, and physical health. Topics covered include: introversion, loneliness, solitude, mindfulness, compassion, mirroring, cognitive flexibility, cognitive rigidity, black-and-white thinking, resiliency, anxiety, stress, depression, bullying, pets, relationships, spirituality, pandemic, loneliness epidemic, and friendship.

No matter your age, gender, socioeconomic status, or other factors, parenting is no easy task. Yet we often expect ourselves to be the ideal, stress-free parents who know how to do it all easily and perfectly. Contrary to the images we see on social media and in the fairytale landscapes in our minds, parenting can be one of life’s most challenging journeys. And, all too often, just when we think we have things under control, a new life stage or situation crops up to remind us that nothing in life is perfect—especially the ups and downs of parenting. Is it possible that one of the greatest secrets of parenting is the art of relaxing, finding autonomy, and diminishing anxiety? 

Join Dr. Carla and Stanford-trained clinical psychologist, parenting expert, and author, Dr. Emily Edlynn for a heartfelt discussion focused on learning to parent with grace, joy, and imperfection. Topics explored include attachment theory, secure attachment, attunement, self-awareness, stress, anxiety, self-determination, and the power of building autonomy, competency, and relatedness. Please note that this episode contains sensitive material (e.g., a parent’s cancer diagnosis); listener discretion is advised. Resources are listed in the show notes.

Has your inner voice been quashed or silenced? Do you feel small or unseen due to the forces of your upbringing, relationships, or society? Do you wish you could take up space, speak your truth, and show up as your authentic self without fear or making apologies? Dr. Carla has found that many people have lost the courage–or never developed the ability–to use their authentic voice because they learned (often early on in life) that they had to be quiet, "good," or obedient in order to be loved or found worthy. But she’s here to help you discover that the opposite is true: Genuine love–for the self and with others–comes from the freedom of knowing and expressing your inner truth. By discovering and embracing the power of your own vibrant voice, you can set yourself free to live fearlessly–if imperfectly. 

Join Dr. Carla and autonomy expert Dr. Soha Al-Jurf for a heartfelt exploration into the power of your inimitable voice. Topics discussed include personal identity, self-exploration, authenticity, emotional experiences, individuation, autonomy, feminine and masculine archetypes, voice rehabilitation, speech-language pathologist, relationships, love, connection, personal freedom, alignment, empowerment, spirituality, soul, boundaries, self-love, and self-discovery.

Embrace Positive Affirmations to Boost Positivity, Self-Esteem, and Inner Strength!

Affirmation is a powerful tool for resilience. We're often expected to be positive and upbeat no matter what is going on in our lives. At the very least, we generally feel compelled to put on a happy face for the world. Yet, in real life, it's not always easy–or in truth, even natural–to be positive all the time. And for those who face daily challenges such as discrimination, low self-worth, isolation, a lack of support, or mental health issues, life can feel very lonely, dark, and bleak. Although there's no simple cure for these challenging issues, a daily practice of healthy affirmations can truly help foster self-esteem, empowerment, and a sense of belonging. 

Join Dr. Carla and affirmation expert Jess Vosseteig, author and illustrator, for an uplifting exploration of the power of positive self-messages. Jess's work focuses on inclusivity, empowerment, and creating conversations surrounding feminism and the Queer community. Jess has worked with many top companies including Simon & Shuster, Ulta Beauty, and FB/Meta. Topics discussed include self-messages, affirmations, mental health, isolation, community, depression, anxiety, hope, mindfulness, positivity, self-love, inclusivity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, LGBTQ+, suicide, suicidality, the Queer community, societal norms, feminism, and personal empowerment. With a focus on education and empowerment, Jess brings messages of wisdom, compassion, and nonjudgment.

Please note that this episode contains sensitive material including a mention of suicide and suicidality; listener discretion is advised.

Family is one of the most fundamental aspects of human existence. From birth forward, we're often indoctrinated to embrace the values and priorities prized by our parents and caregivers. In many foundational arenas—from religious and spiritual beliefs to social and political norms—our families and intergenerational patterns have a profound influence on our lives. Yet, from Dr. Carla’s personal and professional experience, she’s found that our beliefs and needs often change as we mature and explore who we are as individuals. Ideally, those we love choose to support and honor our chosen personal identities and belief systems, but, sadly, many families are torn apart as differences arise. It seems that love cannot always conquer all. 

Join Dr. Carla and expert Lyn Smith Gregory for a captivating exploration into the heart of family estrangement, individuation, and healthy connection. Topics discussed include boundaries, rebuilding relationships, divorce, estrangement, healthy communication, emotional intelligence, spiritual and religious transitions, trauma, political differences, gender identity, sexual orientation, and individuation.

We often learn early in life to use food as a coping strategy, which can lead to destructive dieting patterns. In today's stressful, perfection-oriented world, the tendency to see food as both friend and enemy—a two-faced fixture that wields the power to reward, soothe, tempt, and haunt—can be amplified. While some people simply eat to live, others find themselves struggling daily to find a healthy relationship with food. And for those who weren't raised in food-neutral families, the journey can be especially tough. When battles with food loom large in the psyche, mental and physical health are negatively impacted. Can we heal the diet culture force by rethinking our relationship with food? 

Join Dr. Carla and clinical psychologist, registered dietician, and certified fitness expert Dr. Supatra Tovar for a mindful exploration of the steps you can take to shift your relationship with food to create lasting psychological and physical well-being. Topics discussed include nutrition, mental health, medication, semaglutide products, fitness, exercise, disordered eating, dieting, binging, trauma, mindfulness, attachment issues, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

Mindfully Move Your Way into Optimal Physical and Mental Health!

We naturally want to believe that we are living consciously and engaging in practices that foster optimal health and well-being. However, challenges and stressors of real life can easily take us down a path into anxiety, negative moods, depression, isolation, cloudy thinking, emotional dysregulation, confusion, and myriad physical symptoms including pain. In the process, we often lose (or perhaps never had) the core healing element of somatic awareness. Yet, as research tells us, mindful movement has the power to foster lasting well-being.

Join Dr. Carla and renowned somatic expert Dr. Martha Eddy, founder and director of the Dynamic Embodiment Somatic Movement Therapy Training program and author. Dr. Eddy, who has taught at many prestigious universities including Princeton, Columbia, Barnard, and NYU, brings a wealth of experience and research-back strategies that foster healing and overall well-being. Topics covered include mental health, anxiety, depression, somatic awareness, proprioception, conscious action, creativity, dance, yoga, self-awareness, self-regulation, self-expression, TBI (traumatic brain injury), stroke, brain fog, healing, social determinants of health, and the importance of support and community.

Create a Happier and Healthier Life by Embracing the Art of Self-Awareness!

Frazzled? Unfocused? Emotionally dysregulated? Although we want to be stable and caring partners, parents, employees, bosses, and friends, it's easy to get stuck in unproductive patterns and erratic behaviors that seem beyond our control. And despite our inborn capacities and environmental influences, we expect ourselves to naturally have excellent focus, time management skills, and emotional intelligence. Yet, in truth, human issues–including neurodiversity and environmental influences–can make it tough (or seemingly impossible) to handle life's myriad tasks and stressors with ease. In fact, most of us can benefit from support and guidance to learn the skills and strategies that will help us get out of our own way and maximize our capacities. 

Join Dr. Carla and neurodiversity expert Dr. Gretchen Pound for an uplifting journey into the art of using self-awareness to create a happier and healthier life. Topics discussed include focus, impulsivity, emotional regulation, anger management, self-awareness, mindfulness, stress tolerance, time management, self-confidence, emotional regulation, neurodiversity, ADHD, ASD (autism spectrum disorders), yoga, somatic awareness, breathing exercises, and mindfulness. Note: Listener discretion is advised as sensitive topics are discussed.
