The Inner Edit

Jemma Rane is an influential speaker, entrepreneur and certified personal development coach. She is a compassionate and insightful thought leader whose first TikTok video immediately went viral reaching 4.5 million views. She empowers people with a unique synthesis of relational intelligence, well-being practices, and methods to break free from the constraints of conditioning that compromises our self-worth, the quality of our relationships and our happiness. Today we talk about Jemma's story, including her divorce from a "nice guy" after 20 years of marriage, what the crisis of connection means and what you can do about it in your relationships. We talk about the emotional load and labor in relationships and how gender norms and roles play a huge role in the emotional health of our relationships. We talk about the assumption of love, the types of intimacy, and how to break generational relationship cycles for our kids.

"If you think you know everything about your partner or yourself and stop exploring then things go flat. How can you keep exploring and add in some novelty?" - Jemma Rane

Dr. Alissa Silverman is a mom of 3, psychologist, and the founder of Silver Linings Psych in Philadelphia, PA. Alissa and her daughter are working on a project together that stemmed from her daughter's questions, interest, and concern over some of the recent politics in the US, specifically around the overturning of Roe V. Wade. This project revealed some challenging moments in Alissa's motherhood journey which include having to have really tough conversations before perhaps her daughter was developmentally ready to have, having to look at her own past relationship with voting and how she wants to do things differently for her kids, and so much more!

"Show your kids that when you feel strongly about something that you can DO something about it." - Dr. Alissa Silverman

Annia Palacios is a Licensed Professional Counselor and owner of Tightrope Therapy, an online therapy and coaching practice dedicated to helping moms find balance in life and motherhood. Annia combines her professional experience as a therapist and coaching along with her life experience as a mom and stepmom to help support women in all stages of motherhood and life including infertility, miscarriage, grief, anxiety, depression, birth trauma, and the relationship challenges. Annia shares the story of how and why, even as a therapist herself, she did not seek out professional help while experiencing postpartum depression. We also talk about the difference between postpartum depression and clinical depression, mom rage, overstimulation, shame, guilt, and anxiety in motherhood.

"Within the therapist circles we don't talk about perinatal mental health. So even as a therapist I knew something was off but I didn't have a full grasp on exactly what it was." - Annia Palacios

In this solo episode I am sharing a bit about my history with alcohol and how over the last few months I've contemplated quitting altogether. I'll explain why, what I did and am currently doing to satisfy my curiosity, and how alcohol and my mental health go hand-in-hand. I'm also sharing how alcohol is linked to my body image and it's perhaps not what you think! I talk about a concept I am calling "informed consent" around alcohol and weight loss.
