This episode may just be the most raw and vulnerable yet. Ginny share's her hardest breakup, and it's not who you think. This is a conversation that's been a long time coming, but needed to be navigated delicately. In an effort to be respectful and also honest and open, Ginny opens up about not having a relationship with her mom. Some people may have a hard time understanding this, but try to come with an open mind. When people have experienced trauma, emotional abuse or have a toxic relationship with someone, sometime's this may be the only option, even if it's their absolute last choice. There can be stigma, shame and judgment around making a decision like this, but it may also provide some validation for people that have been faced with a similar choice.

Book: "I'm Glad My Mom Died" by Jenette McCurdy

This episode explores titles and the weight we put on them, either professionally or personally. This leads directly into the Social Comparison Theory, which was discovered in 1954 by psychologist Leon Festinger. Can you imagine what he would be thinking with all of the comparing via social media now?! Ginny talks about upward & downward comparison and the benefits & dangers of comparing. And of course, there's a reference on comparing as it relates to narcissism. Theodore Roosevelt called comparison "the thief of joy." Do you find meaning in your title(s)? Is your joy being stolen from comparison? There are some helpful reminders in this episode to keep us on track with what really matters.

Have you ever stayed in a relationship or a at a job longer than you should have? Or what about sitting through the worst movie ever or ate terrible food because, well...you paid for it!?! That's what this episode is all about. This is what's referred to as the Sunk Cost Fallacy. We tend to make decisions not logically about what we might gain or benefit from in the future, rather make emotionally based on what we might lose. There are some fun examples and references that you might relate to and some helpful take aways.

We'll dive in to where they stem from, how each one shows up in relationships and then match up different ones to see which tend to be the most successful matches and which ones may tend to be problematic. Finally, Anna walks us through some helpful steps to take that you may help you move from one of the insecure attachments to a more secure style.

Often people set new year's resolutions and year round goals around finances. People aspire to save more money or spend less money. This is a familiar concept. But are you paying attention to your emotional bank account and the things that are draining your energy or boosting your energy?! This is a great chat to explore some of the things that can drain us and become aware of what's filling and lifting us up.

Book: Atomic Habits by James Clear

TW: There are some words mentioned in this episode that may be difficult to hear, depending on where you are at on your path. While none of these topics are discussed in detail, they are mentioned. This is a safe space and if you don't want to be caught off guard, here are the time stamps in case you want to do a quick skip at those parts: 5:49, 12:15, 13:54, 31:37.

Joe Navarro is here himself! Do you love true crime? Are you here for the story sharing or growing through our experiences and using them for good? Well this is the best of both worlds! Think of Joe like the godfather of true crime. Not only does he have experience working with the villains, he uses this experience to help victims and to save lives. He's a former FBI agent and has authored 14 books, including Dangerous Personalities. This is a book that Ginny speaks of frequently as it was extremely impactful in her journey. Joe talks about why he wrote this book and why it's so important. Having worked with and studying some of the ultimate dangerous personalities over the years, he found it was the stories of the victims that followed him home. This book serves as a resource to better understand if you or someone you know is being impacted, or even tormented, by a dangerous personality. It can also provide tremendous validation for those that have had or are having interactions with these types of people.

Joe also announced the launch of The Behavioral Assessment Inventory for business: https://behaviouralanalysis.com/
