In this week's episode of Season of Stuck, Deanna sits down with Jennie Wetter, host of the rePROs Fight Back podcast and director of the rePROs Fight Back initiative. During their conversation, Deanna and Jennie discuss the current state of sexual and reproductive health rights in the US, including how the current restrictions are keeping people stuck, the interconnectedness of abortion access and gender-affirming care, and how individual actions—even small ones—can contribute to larger change. Jennie also shares invaluable resources to support those directly impacted by these policies and those looking to join the fight.

Tune in to learn about:

• The current state of reproductive rights in the US—and how it’s keeping people feel stuck
• The power of small steps for enacting big change
• Actionable strategies to get involved and support the fight for sexual and reproductive health and rights.

Thoughts from the episode:

• “Abortion is banned or highly restricted in 17 states. That means people in 17 states are unable to access care in their own state.”
• “This is a marathon, not a sprint. You come in when you can, you step back and take care of yourself when you have to and hand the baton off to somebody else and step back in when you are refreshed and recharged.”
• “You don’t know who you’re talking to at any given moment and what you’re going to say that may change their mind.”

In this episode of Season of Stuck, Deanna welcomes back Dr. Ashley Southard, a marriage and family therapist specializing in over-functioning in love. During their conversation, they explore how overfunctioning manifests for women (and the emotional impact it can have)—and take a deep dive into how to embark on a healing journey using Dr. Ashley’s Self-Restoration framework. 

Tune in to learn about:

• What overfunctioning is, how and why it impacts women, and the emotional and relational costs
• Why overfunctioning women are drawn to underfunctioning partners
• How the Self-Restoration process can help women break free from overfunctioning, reconnect with their authentic selves, and build healthier, more reciprocal relationships

Thoughts from the episode:

• “A big piece for over-functioning women [is] we've been led to believe we're too much. We've also been led to believe we're not enough.”
• It breaks my heart when I'm at the beginning stages of work with a woman and she says, ‘I'm really scared to get to know who I am. What if I don't like her?’ And I always say, ‘What if you love her? What if you're blown away by how amazing she is?’
• “The self-restored woman really has to pair up with a very healthy functioning partner who also really likes who they are. And this pairing becomes a very intentional choice. ‘I have chosen to get to know who I am. And then I get the privilege of choosing a partner who has also gotten to know themselves. And we are choosing to do this together.’

About the guest:

Dr. Ashley Southard is a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in the overfunctioning/underfunctioning relationship dynamic—and, more specifically, working with overfunctioning women in love. With over 20 years of experience, she’s helped hundreds of women reclaim their worth and step into healthier relationships.

In this episode of Season of Stuck, Deanna sits down with author and burnout expert Cara Houser to tackle a topic that impacts so many of us: burnout. During their conversation, Deanna and Cara discuss the epidemic of burnout—and why it’s so prevalent in today’s culture, the different ways burnout keeps us stuck, both professionally and personally, the importance of mindset in detaching from burnout culture, and actionable strategies to heal from burnout—and get unstuck in the process. 

Tune in to learn about:

• What burnout actually is—and how to recognize when you're stuck in it
• How the fallacy of “having it all” fuels burnout and keeps us trapped in an impossible cycle
• Why boundaries, habits, and shifting from “should” to “choose” are essential tools for recovery
• Why healing from burnout isn’t about doing more, but about doing differently

Thoughts from the episode:

• “When you’re stuck in burnout, you’re trying to meet a lot of external markers of success and approval that are totally outside of your control and impossible to achieve.”
• “The problem is, when your stress set point is so high, you don’t even know how to relax. You forget how, because you haven’t given any time or space to enjoyment in so long.”
• “The first step in healing from burnout is creating space—whether that’s physical, mental, or emotional space. Even something small, like decluttering a single drawer, can start to crack open room for clarity and joy.”

About the guest:

Cara Houser—a.k.a. The Burnout Lady—is a life-work integration coach, speaker, and author of the award-winning book: Burned Out to Lit Up: Ditch the Grind and Reclaim Your Life. After finding herself in a period of burnout, Cara stepped away from a high-pressure career and shifted her focus to helping others recover from the burnout trap and create more balance in their work and their lives.
