In this episode, I share an update about leaving Instagram and navigating the complexities of social media's influence on society. I talk about my personal experience with Instagram and discuss the importance of mindful engagement online as well as reclaiming control over our digital presence. I also speak about the psychological & somatic impacts of social media and lack of relational feedback in online interactions. This conversation ultimately invites you to get curious about your relationship with social media, explore activities that nurture fulfillment in your life, and step into a life liberated from the pressures of online validation.

#377: Social Media & Its Impact on Your Nervous System: My Update on Leaving Instagram

In this episode, I have the absolute honor of welcoming legendary relationship experts Harville Hendrix & Helen LaKelly Hunt. I had to pinch myself when I met them – it was a full circle moment for me. I found Harville and Helen’s work at a time in my life when I was deeply confused about relationships. I didn't know why I was so good at talking about everything but my feelings. I didn't know why I chose the people I chose or was the way I was. Harville and Helen’s work and their book gave me context to my personal relational patterns and a framework for relating better.
In this episode, Harville and Helen discuss the transformative power of dialogue in relationships and the importance of curiosity and open-mindedness. We explore the complexities of emotional healing and self-awareness in relationships, the concept of unconscious attraction in romantic partnerships, and how childhood needs and experiences shape adult behaviors and relationships. Tune in for a profound conversation that will surely impact the way you relate in your life moving forward.
Harville Hendrix Ph.D. and Helen LaKelly Hunt Ph.D. are co-creators of Imago Relationship Therapy and a social movement called Safe Conversations. Internationally respected as couple’s therapists, educators, speakers, activists, and New York Times bestselling authors, their 10 books, including the timeless classic, Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples, have sold more than 4 million copies. Harville appeared on the Oprah Winfrey television program 17 times! Helen was installed in the Women’s Hall of Fame and the Smithsonian Institute. They have six children and eight grandchildren.

#376: The Couple Who Changed How I Relate: Lessons from the Godparents of Love

﻿In this episode, we talk about understanding depression as a message rather than a flaw to help lead us to valuable insights and personal growth. We discuss how building self-trust by honoring commitments and setting boundaries can shift our relationship with emotions. Ultimately we explore how to embrace emotional intelligence, step into self-responsibility, and invite ourselves to view depression as a catalyst for transformation and empowerment.

#375: What Is Your Depression Telling You?

﻿In this episode, I welcome back Peter Crone, a writer, speaker, and thought leader in the realm of human awakening and potential. Peter and I discuss victimhood, personal responsibility, and the power of self-evolution. Peter talks about the importance of letting go, forgiveness, and reframing perspectives in relationships. He challenges the victim mentality and champions authenticity through freeing ourselves from limiting beliefs, embracing vulnerability and the transformative journey to self-discovery. Tune into this inspiring episode to invite more self-awareness in your day-to-day and to take back the reins of your life. 

﻿Peter works with everyone from world-class athletes to stay-at-home parents to redesign the subconscious mind. We exist within limiting mental constructs that dictate our thoughts, feelings, actions, and the results we experience. Peter helps people and groups step outside of the world as they know it by identifying mental constructs that have been holding them back. Peter’s work explores the fundamental issues that affect us all to foster a deeper understanding of our common humanity.

#374: From Victim to Creator of Your Life with Mind Architect Peter Crone

In this episode, I explore the challenges we encounter in decision-making and our tendency to seek external validation. We talk about the concept of the externalization of authority, indecision as a form of self-sabotage, and the role our nervous system plays in our relationship to our intuition. We also discuss the importance of making choices aligned with personal values and needs, overcoming the fear of being perceived as selfish, and how to connect with our inner voice to transition from anxiety & indecision to clarity & empowerment. Tune in to learn how to release tension, enhance your decision-making process, reclaim agency and live authentically.
