  • An Open Message to Toxic Parents

    Send us Fan Mail

    I've been getting a lot of heat from toxic parents in the comment section lately. So, this is an open message to every abusive and manipulative parent who hates the message that I spread. Get ready! You're not going to like it.

    For everyone else, this episode is very different. It's a love letter to you and the work that I do.

    Because the truth is this: the work isn't about me. It's not about feeling good and looking good. It's about making life better for myself and for others. It's about ending the cycles of generational traumas that are destroying families and destroying the planet.

  • Finding Your True Sense of Self Again

    Send us Fan Mail

    One of the hardest parts of reconciling any kind of trauma is rediscovering your sense of self.

    Authenticity and our strong sense of self-knowing disappear in the wake of abuse. We're not allowed to tap into that strength because it would pull power away from the people and circumstances that hurt us.

    A big part of the healing journey is figuring out who you are again. You must step into the life you truly value, but that only happens when you learn how to truly value yourself, your needs, and your desires.

    How do we get back there? In this episode, I'm going to help you rediscover who you really are with a simple and straightforward technique that I use with readers, clients, and even my own family.

    What We're Talking About: 

    • What losing ourselves looks like
    • The cost of not knowing who we are
    • How to uncover our truest self

    A Few More Resources: 

    • The cost of childhood abuse
    • Confronting our trauma

  • Why the Healthy Relationship You're Chasing Is Going to Feel Boring

    Send us Fan Mail

    Are you in the market for the perfect partner or the perfect relationship? Who isn't?

    Those who have found love are lucky, but many are still on their hunt for the ideal partner. Here's what most of those people haven't realized yet, though: the "happily ever-after" they want is going to bore them to death.

    That's because so many of us have been conditioned to crave toxic relationships. Raised in dysfunction, we see the pain and the chaos of a bad relationship as "natural" or "normal".

    It's something we never really think about. When you've spent your life chasing all the wrong things, getting the right things can feel foreign and even a little boring. For you to get the forever that you want, you have to learn to look at love in an entirely new way. Good relationships aren't all work and fighting. In fact, they're much easier than that.

    What We're Talking About: 

    • Why you crave unhealthy relationships
    • What healthy relationships feel like 
    • How to break out of the boredom curse

    A Few More Resources

    • What Real Love Looks Like
