  • Why You Hate Yourself and How to Start Loving Yourself Instead
    Jan 20 2025

    When something goes wrong who’s the first person to feel your wrath? If you’re like most women, it’s you. The viper tongue shows up with a barrage of ways you’re not good enough and it’s all your fault.

    In this episode I confront the damaging societal influences that often lead us to undervalue ourselves, and I'll share practical steps to help you recognize your inherent worth. By challenging the negative self-talk that haunts many of us, we'll foster a kinder, more loving relationship with ourselves.

    You’ll come away from this episode:
    • Understanding the psychological effects of societal expectations on women's self-worth

  • The Manual: Letting Go Of Excess Suffering
    Jan 13 2025

    When was the last time you felt frustrated, annoyed or downright angry at something your ex did? If it was recently, or if you’ve ever thought, it would be so nice if they’d just do things the way I do them, then this episode is for you. In this episode, we'll explore the concept of 'manuals'—those pesky expectations we impose on others—and how releasing them can lead to dropping the excess suffering you’re feeling.


    You’ll learn that ‘manuals’ are the unwritten expectations we create about how others should behave to make us feel good. By recognizing these manuals, we learn to let go of unnecessary emotional burdens, improve our relationships, and embrace the dualities of life, particularly during challenging times like divorce.

    In this episode I’ll cover:


    • Exploring the 50-50 principle in life
    • Understanding the concept of manuals in relationships
    • How expectations create emotional resistance
    • Recognizing personal autonomy in interactions
    • Emphasizing self-responsibility for our feelings
    • Empowerment comes from owning what you can actually control
