Guilt and shame are emotions that ideally can help us take stock, take responsibility, and do better going forward. Beating ourselves up mercilessly, however, only perpetuates feelings of guilt and shame and gets in the way of growing. In this episode, psychologist Traci Stein discusses the reasons why so many people feel stuck under the weight of extreme guilt and self-blame, and how embracing forgiveness can help us free ourselves to move forward with greater compassion for ourselves and others.

Are high blood sugar, nutrient deficiencies, or common environmental toxins fueling your mental health issues? In this episode, Dr. Tracy McCarthy, a board-certified psychiatrist, reveals some surprising yet common triggers of depression, anxiety, insomnia and brain fog. Dr. McCarthy highlights how our modern lifestyle can lead to excess inflammation and an unbalanced microbiome - both of which contribute to poorer mental and physical health. The good news is that simple, strategic lifestyle changes like adopting a more unprocessed diet, switching to “clean” beauty and household products, and thoughtful dietary supplementation can notably improve our mental health and overall wellbeing.

If you’re struggling with “over-caregiving” at the expense of your own well being, never fear – by the end of this episode, you’ll leave with tips for setting healthier limits while remembering that you, too, are worthy of your kindness.

Although on the outside, Joan Peters’ life appeared to check all of the desired boxes – a PhD at 25, a new job, and a loving relationship – and despite having no history of any “headline-making” traumas, privately Joan struggled with recurring nightmares and relationship challenges that left her confused, anxious, and unable to achieve relief with standard psychotherapy. In this episode of “Unpacking Possibility,” Joan shares how two psychoanalyses helped her uncover the deep-seated fears and “smaller” traumas that were derailing her happiness. Ultimately, engaging in this deep inner work helped solve the mystery of Joan’s nightmares and healed her dreams, her relationships, and her life.
