The Robin Smith Show

Theodora Blanchfield is a Los Angeles Based Writer, ketamine assisted psychotherapist, and marathon runner. Her byline has appeared on Glamour, Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan, Verywell, Bustle, Modern Loss and Daily Burn — among others! As a marriage and family therapist she specializes in treating bereavement and depression. Her experiences as an adoptee and losing her adoptive mother to cancer have helped her redefine her purpose. As a marathon runner she believes endurance running contains many life lessons: from pacing ourselves, conserving our energy, to fueling ourselves properly to get us through the times that feel good and the times that feel not-so-good. She’s also a certified personal trainer, yoga teacher, and run coach.

Will you choo choo choose us? Sit down, grab your favorite Valentine's Day treat, and enjoy the chaos. Leigh Tyberg bravely dares to enter the realm of 'the male psyche' - a territory she's more familiar with than she would have you believe ;) - to query the guys from the Monday night group about our past Valentine's Day experiences.

You'll probably need to get your blanket and some tissues for this one... ::throat clear::
