Fri, 05 Apr 2024 11:55:00 -0600

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) has become a popular tool for trauma healing, and in this episode Margeaux Groene LPC walks us through the ins and outs of what it is and how this somatic therapy can help unlock your trauma.

This episode lays out examples of the types of issues that you could bring to an EMDR session so that you can put yourself in an imagination station and see if this therapeutic modality might be right for you.

Listen for:

✨ An understanding around what trauma actually is and why it has a bad wrap

✨ A low down on what EMDR is and what you can expect from a session

✨ Why dissociation is a normal part of trauma and how you can widen your window of tolerance to move away from it

✨ How to identify trauma that you may have by looking for heightened responses that aren’t making sense in the context of the situation

✨ Why somatic therapies work to help us with our implicit memories, especially before the age of 5

18. Yes, Healthy Relationships Have Conflict! How to Communicate Effectively & Strengthen Your Relationship

Fri, 15 Mar 2024 11:55:00 -0600

Is a relationship without any conflict healthy 🤔? How do you have conflict without fighting? And how do you get past your fear of using your damn voice in the first place?!

Athena McCullough LMFT walks us through her own evolution of being shut off from her emotions and conflict avoidant like “an appliance that just plugged in and ran,” to a woman with a voice, opinions, and a distress tolerance wide enough to share them all with her partner. We talk about how to bring up conflict (step by step) in relationships, and especially what to do to stay grounded and sane during a high conflict divorce.

Listen for:

✨ Why rupture without repair is so damaging in relationships

✨ The trap of spending time in the perfectionistic analytical brain during your healing journey

✨ How to have healthy conflict with your partner (step by step) instead of running away, shutting down, or raging

✨ Signs that someone isn’t ready for an intimate relationship

✨ Skills to help you keep your cool if you’re in a high conflict divorce

17. Am I Worthy Even if He Doesn’t Choose Me? Healing From Heartbreak With Deanne Vincent

Fri, 08 Mar 2024 12:55:00 -0600

Are you worthy even if your partner leaves? What if they don’t want to do the work that they know is necessary for the relationship to work…are you still enough?

Deanne Vincent shares with us her journey moving from the powerless place of “choose me” to balancing her internal feminine energy so that she can show up as a more secure self in relationships. We talk about worthiness, belonging, healthy relationship sex, and liberating our grandmothers' relationship stories so that we aren’t starving for a man to save us from ourselves.

Listen for:

✨Why we feel out of control when we only feel worthy if a man “chooses” us

✨The importance of building internal worthiness so that you don’t settle for breadcrumbs of love

✨How we are shifting away from “needing” men the same way our grandmothers did and what that means about healthy relationships

✨Why you may find yourself repeatedly attracting the bad boy even though you want the healthy man

✨The reason sex in a healthy relationship will blow your mind and be better what you’ve experienced with someone you don’t fully trust

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 12:55:00 -0600

How can you get your partner to agree to go to couples therapy? Is it possible to come back from betrayal? Are there any reasons couples work wouldn’t be a good option?

Jason and I share tips for women who are navigating couples therapy (especially with a resistant partner) so you can feel empowered and lean into the third party support that can help you set boundaries and move from ambivalence to certainty.

This episode will answer many of your frustrating questions and help you see that you, in fact, are not responsible for 100% of the problems in your relationship (and how to take accountability for the ones that you are a part of), and how you can use compassionate curiosity towards yourself and your relationship to change the game.

Listen for:

✨Why both partners need a balance of healthy masculine and feminine energy for a relationship to thrive

✨ How to increase your emotional maturity

✨ What to do if your partner is resistant to therapy

✨ Our thoughts on why finding yourself again in your own individual coaching is as important as couples work

14. What it Means to Feel Your Feelings & Increase Self-Esteem With Amanda McKoy Flanagan

Fri, 02 Feb 2024 12:55:00 -0600

Spending a good chunk of her life avoiding feelings and actively numbing with alcohol and chaos, Amanda vulnerably shares how she’s finally found comfort in her emotions and has built trust with herself so she doesn’t have to run and hide anymore.

We chat about her memoir, Trust Yourself to Be All In: Safe to Love and Let Go and how the principles she outlines there have allowed her to not only find meaning in her suffering, but to create an inseverable love for herself. How…? Hint: By welcoming all of her emotions with patience and self-compassion.

If this lands for you, please send it to your friends and leave us a review on the top of our podcast page (it helps other women find it organically) 🙏🏻.

Listen for:

✨ Why we sometimes create chaos so we don’t have to be with our feelings

✨ People pleasing in order to show others she was a good person (so that she could then believe it too)

✨ How she continually chooses self-love over self-hate today

✨ The reason sitting with whatever comes up is a superpower and how it will transform you as a partner, mother and overall woman

✨ Why self-worth is the foundation for grieving healthfully

13. When the Toxic Relationship You Have is With Your Body with Sydney Greene Registered Dietitian + Nutritionist

Fri, 26 Jan 2024 12:55:00 -0600

Toxic relationships come in all forms, and whether you NEED abs in order to feel worthy, or you NEED your partner to be happy so you feel okay, or you NEED the bottle of wine to decompress every night, dependence on the external thing can cause toxicity to seep through and through.

Sydney shares with us her journey navigating recovery from an eating disorder, substances and codependency. She shares her fears of perfection and how they led her to drastically alter her body and spirit to become someone she was never meant to be, and how finding the self that she was deep within her gave her more freedom (professionally, physically, personally and romantically) than she could have ever imagined.

Listen for:

✨ The ways that addictions and eating disorders become the solution (albeit maladaptive) when you’ve grown up in chaos

✨ The moment she knew that she needed help with the way she was eating and exercising

✨ How she’s moved beyond believing that resting is “bad” and dropped the obsession to become the society’s idealized woman in order to be chosen

✨ What it is like to outgrow a partner and leave an engagement despite feeling like, “the train has already left the station”

✨ How she silenced her intuition because she didn’t have the tools necessary to cope with the truth in her relationship

12. I Don’t Want to Be With Him, But Who Am I Without Him? Healing From The Heartbreak Of Narcissistic Relationships With Silvana Dargel (client story)

Fri, 19 Jan 2024 12:55:00 -0600

If you’ve felt yourself slipping away into a version of yourself that you no longer recognize (or even like), but you are scared sh*tless of who you would be without the man you’re with, please listen to Silvana’s story.

Silvana is a client of mine who vulnerably shares the strength it has taken her to leave a narcissistic relationship, shift her looping narrative of, “I’m no one without him,” and feel peace around the woman that she is becoming (with or without a man). We also talk about what it is like to date again despite the fears that creep in and how she tends to her anxieties in real time so they don’t send her spiraling away.

Share this with that girlfriend of yours who needs to know she’s not alone 🫶🏻. And if this lands for you, I invite you to help other women find this information by following the podcast and leaving a 5-star review

Listen for:

✨ Why it makes sense that women stay in relationships that are painful

✨ Why she was convinced she was the narcissist/toxic one

✨ How the rules for conscious uncoupling don’t apply to every relationship

✨The reason it took her many attempts to leave, and how she finally did it

✨ The top ways she stays “awake” while dating

11. Raising Daughters Who Say, “Mommy is Strong,” Because They Saw You Break the Toxic Relationship Cycle with Jamie Madsen

Fri, 12 Jan 2024 12:55:00 -0600

To me, a woman who leaves an abusive relationship despite her fear of being alone forever, despite her confidence being below level 0 because of the manipulation and gaslighting, despite society’s label that you are a “failure” if you end a relationship…is f*cking strong. Period.

It is my hope that this episode can help you redefine strength. Jamie Madsen is an Online Business Coach who not only found the courage to take herself and her daughter out of a harmful relationship, but has actualized her soul’s desire of becoming a successful entrepreneur all while shifting the generational patterns passed to her so that her daughters can have a different story.

✨ Why we tend to pick men who resemble our mother or father

✨ How she finally broke free of the relationship that made her feel so trapped

10. Waking Up From a Toxic Relationship Nightmare, Rebuilding My Confidence & Stepping Into Real Love (My Story)

Fri, 05 Jan 2024 20:22:00 -0600

When I say, “You are not alone.” I mean it. My passion for this work comes from being there, in the confusion and pain just like you, unsure how I was ever going to find the absolute knowing that leaving my now ex was the right choice, no less find a new man who could redefine what love meant in every way.

Through my healing I’ve become the confident, self-assured woman that I’ve always dreamed of being, and on this side I’m able to experience a relationship that the old me would have rolled her eyes at in disbelief. Which is why I KNOW it is possible for you too.

This is my story.

If this resonates for you, leave a comment and share. I want to hear from you ❤️.

Listen For:

✨ How the euphoric beginning with my ex slowly turned into me shutting up and shutting down

✨ Why I started feeling crazy and questioned my intelligence

✨ How I bargained with myself and justified the red flags (aka how long I stayed in Potential Land) waiting for him to live up to who I thought he could be

✨ How I knew for certain when it was time to leave

✨ The behind the scenes of my dating process after I healed

✨ What it feels like to now be in a safe and loving relationship built on respect, interdependence and support (and how you can have it too)

Fri, 22 Dec 2023 12:55:00 -0600

If you’ve considered an Ayahuasca experience and are thinking, “Ummm…that seems terrifying,” you aren’t alone.

Adriana Balentine is a Licensed Psychotherapist, Space Holder and Owner of Wise Warrior Retreats, and in this episode she takes us on the wild ride that led her to this potent medicine that has changed her life. From suddenly going mostly blind in one eye, to having her life flipped upside down and narrowed from Lyme disease, Adriana shares all the moments that gently invited her to surrender and learn to become her own ally.

Towards the end of this episode, we share about Wise Warrior Retreats upcoming Accelerated Awakening Plant Medicine Retreat (that I am also a part of), so don’t miss out on all the details on how to join us this Feb. 9-15th, 2024 in Costa Rica!

Listen For:

✨ What surrendering even means and how to do it in life (and in a Ayahuasca ceremony)

✨ How to know if you are feeling “the call” to plant medicine

✨ The ways that loneliness can shift from working with Ayahuasca

✨ Why you may feel stuck in talk therapy

✨ Determining if plant medicine is for you despite your ego being freaked the f*ck out
