  As habitual emotional outsourcers, we tend to either blame others for our behaviors, choices, and results in our lives, or we take everything on as our fault. But what if there’s a middle path where, just maybe, not everything and everyone is the very worst or all sunshine and rainbows? Getting to neutral is…

Thought work and learning about the role of our thoughts as they interplay with our nervous systems is vital in our quest to be our best, most emotionally mature selves, which is what we’re all here for. However, there’s an interesting pattern I’ve seen play out in my clients and in myself, and it’s this:…

Do you ever have those days when you’ve got a seemingly never-ending to-do list, but your brain and body are simply not having it? Your internal world might be screaming, “No, this isn’t the thing I want or need to be doing!” And yet, we continue to push through with an energy of hustle and…

Following on from last week’s episode all about drama, this week, I’m diving into one way we unwittingly create drama in our lives: taking things personally. From a casual comment a friend or colleague makes, to a critical look a stranger seemed to point in your direction, we emotional externalizers are on the constant lookout…

Over the past two weeks, we’ve been discussing attachment and how changeable our habits are in this area, and we’ve taken a deep dive into anxious and avoidant attachment, which sets us up wonderfully to discuss what many in the psychological wellness world call the most complex of the attachment habits: disorganized attachment. So many…

Last week, I shared a replay of an oldie but goodie episode all about attachment theory to give you a primer on all things attachment styles, because this week’s episode is inspired by a listener wanting to know more, specifically about avoidant and disorganized attachment styles. And you already know that I love it when…

This week, I’m sharing one of my all-time favorite episodes from the podcast all about attachment. This is the ultimate nerdy 101 on a theoretical framework that has been one of the most helpful for me and my clients in evaluating and understanding our habitual thinking, and we’re diving into the basics today so you…

This week, I’m delighted to share a conversation I had with Sarah Gottesdiener of the Moonbeaming podcast: a show for the modern witch and magical critical thinker. We had a conversation over on her podcast about all things nervous system healing, codependency, and the patriarchy, and we’re continuing our discussion here. Sarah is a phenomenal…
