The Terri Cole Show

Do you feel heard in your relationships with your spouse, kids, colleagues, friends, and family?

Do you find you get the results you're seeking when talking to people?

Do you feel understood?

If the answer is no or sometimes, this episode is for you. I'm covering what effective communication is, what it looks like, how to get better at it, and giving you scripts to use to be more accurately understood.

I am so excited to share this conversation about building epic love with my pal, psychiatrist and relationship expert Dr. Ish Major.

We met at the Real Love Ready Relationship Summit in Vancouver only to realize we were both heading to LA after to the set of Nick Cannon's Counsel Culture.

We talk about how Dr. Ish's interest in psychology came to be and how his childhood experiences impacted him, and then the conversation turns to codependency in relationships.

Dr. ish says he was a "card carrying captain of team codependence" for the first 40 years of his life, which I think a lot of us can relate to! He shares the lessons he learned and he offers so much wisdom in really simple, accessible terms. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Are there people in your life who are conflict connoisseurs? People who really love stirring the pot, who are addicted to drama?

In response to you being upset, these types of people might rile you up or suggest you should be angrier rather than talking you off a ledge.

I know many of you are not into stirring the pot but find yourselves with high conflict lovers in your life, which can be stressful. That's why I'm talking about high conflict versus healthy conflict, how to identify high-conflict people and protect yourself from them, and steps for more constructive ways to manage conflict.

I am thrilled to have Dr. Mindy Pelz back on the show in celebration of her new book, _Eat Like A Girl: 100+ Delicious Recipes to Balance Hormones, Boost Energy, and Burn Fat._ Who doesn't want that?!

Dr. Mindy and I talk about everything from why we struggle to lose weight with age, our philosophies on aging, how to eat for the stage of life you're in, and how to produce GLP-1 hormones naturally within your own body.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Are there couples who make you think, what do they know about love that I don't? How do they do it?

Or do you see couples on TV and wonder, how can I get that kind of love? Where can I even find it?

If so, this episode is for you because I am sharing reflections from 25 years of marriage (I can't believe it!) to my one and only, Vic, about how we've kept it good, and how to apply these lessons to your relationships.

I am so excited to welcome my pal Tamsen Fadal back to the show to talk about her new documentary, The M Factor: Shredding the Silence On Menopause. It's available to stream right now on PBS!

Tamsen is an award-winning news anchor and menopause advocate, and she combined her skills and passion to create this amazing documentary.

During our conversation, Tamsen and I talk about our experiences with perimenopause and menopause, the lesser-known symptoms many women have, how the documentary came about, the hope Tamsen has for how it will impact the healthcare we receive as women, and so much more.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

How do you react to seeing a friend, sibling, or partner having a rough time?

Not how do you respond, but how do you react?

Do you immediately jump to share ideas or thoughts to try to fix their problem?

Or do you inadvertently invalidate their feelings by saying, "Hey, it's not so bad. It'll be better tomorrow"?

If you're nodding your head, this episode is for you. I am talking about the transformative power of learning to sit with emotional discomfort, why you may feel compelled to avoid it by taking action, and what you can do instead.

I am so excited to welcome Emily Sadri to the show to talk all things perimenopause! She's a Board Certified Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, Certified Nurse Midwife, and hormone expert who's helped thousands of women through this journey.

Emily is amazing at breaking down complex topics and making them accessible, and we got into the weeds on weight loss, insomnia, and how and why the loss of estrogen affects us so deeply.

Do you tend to lose yourself in relationships?

Are you a people pleaser who prioritizes others above yourself?

Do you look outside yourself for validation?

If you answered yes and you're tired of these relational dynamics, you're in the right place because I'm talking all about self-abandonment: what it is, why we do it, the signs, and how you can move into self-consideration instead.

We talked about Elizabeth's new fiction book, Dark Healing, and why she wrote it, as well as the differences between being triggered and activated, how embodiment can help us get out of our minds and into our body, the spiritual aspect of embodiment, and so much more.

I hope you enjoy this girlfriend jam as much as I did!
