Sherry and Carla start the show talking about the constant pressure women feel in almost every aspect of our lives, and they take a Love Fix question from a listener who knows logically that she shouldn't go after unavailable guys, but she can't seem to keep listening to her gut and always ends up going after the same type of man. Then, they welcome Multi-Award winning ICF accredited Trauma Informed Coach and Therapist Caroline Strawson. Caroline is also the host of the Narcissistic Trauma Recovery podcast. She uses a unique integration of brain body-based therapies such as brain spotting, internal family systems, EMDR, hypnotherapy, breathwork, and positive psychology and specializes in narcissistic and domestic violence with the unseen wounds.

What a year it's been! Sherry and Carla first reflect on how great it was to finally meet in person and that there will be more in person meetups in 2023. They then share their favorite memories of this year, and open up about some HUGE life changes they both made including the loss of relationships, new locations, and a lot of healing. Then get real about how they each found strength and support during very painful times and came out the other end even more confident and excited for what's to come. Thank you for a great 2022, and Sherry and Carla have a lot up their sleeves for next year, so stay tuned!
