The I Feel U Podcast

This one goes out to all of you who think 'sorry' is a four-letter word (the good or bad kind). Adriana and Lena talk about what makes a good apology, why forgiveness is gucci, and deliver a surprising rationale on why you gotta stop apologizing so damn much (you know who you are). *Also we're team Selena all the way so we apologize for the song title but this is JBieb's best song of all time and the best banger of the 2010's (rip) on apologies. #SORRYNOTSORRY

We missed you all while we were away and maybe the studio has better heating...either way, we're excited to be back for IFeelU Season 2! We kick off our comeback with a chat in the studio about what we've been up to and what we're planning to be up to in our new season. Tune in to find out why Lena started microdosing and who is anxious and cold.

We welcome Dave Granzotto onto the show this week to share his belated no-nuance November take on therapy and why he felt like it was a big pile of "meh." Adriana & Lena are totally not secretly therapizing him to come to an epiphany of a place of self-compassion where he realizes that being resistant doesn't always make you an asshole.

We welcome Carlos Martinez (aka Adriana's big brother) onto the show this week to talk about what he thinks about therapy as a soon-to-be first-timer and why therapists can't do their own therapy. Spoiler alert: it's like trying to tickle yourself.

No babies were harmed in the making of this show.

It's just us in the waiting room (plus the spider that has lived in Oakland longer than humans have lived on the planet), and we are here to share your therapists' hot takes on the holidays, getting diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, and why all band teachers should be on antidepressants.

I Feel U welcomes Katie Miles, LMFT, to talk about attachment theory and the different kinds of attachment styles in relationships. Because no matter if we're in a romantic relationship or not, we all need to learn how to know when to attach and when to let it go.

In today’s episode, Lena and Adriana lean into a courageous conversation with Dr. Shawan Worsley around the anxieties and uncertainties we are all currently experiencing, specifically as they relate to the tense political climate of the 2020 election. We are especially calling in our therapist friends (of all races and ethnicities) to listen as a huge focus of the conversation is centered on how, as professional humans, we can cultivate a safe space for all clients to lean into courageous conversations around race and other social identities through a framework of cultural humility, lots of self-compassion, and grace.

I Feel U welcomes tough love help self-help writer, Lisa Cleary, to discuss her book, How To Survive a Breakup: (When all of your friends are birthing their second child).

Lisa shares with us her experience going through a tumultuous breakup as a 31 year-old self-help writer and how she started creating her own personalized journey to happiness that pushes against the one-size- fits-all, toxic milestone mentality, and ditches the cheerleader mantra. Through fierce vulnerability and humor she does a deep dive on her book and how she learned to love herself—then get over herself.
