361 – Healing Trauma and Re-awakening Your Soul with Dr. Elisa Hallerman

We know that trauma and addiction affect the brain and body in so many ways. But when Dr. Elisa Hallerman overcame addiction and began working with others in recovery, she realized there was something big missing in the conversation about trauma and addiction: how it affects the soul.    This inspired her to create a new paradigm for talking about sobriety called “Soulbriety,” and it’s changing the game for how people heal.    In this episode, Dr. Hallerman shares all about what the soul is and how we can heal it from trauma, how...

360 – Listening to Your Heart to Find Out Who You Are with Dr. Jeremy Goldberg

Throughout our lives, we hear so many voices of others telling us who and how we should be. Societal norms, our parents, our partners…it can feel like everyone wants something for us and from us.    To cope with this, we develop limiting beliefs, survival strategies and masks that we wear. We start to think these things are really who we are, and they become our roadmap for life…unless we find the courage to look within and discover who we really want to be.   In this episode, I talk with fellow life coach...

359 – Why and How To Feel Your Emotions

In my 25 years of private practice, the #1 issue I worked on with clients was feeling their emotions.    Whether someone was anxious, reactive and raging or numb to the world, the question they were all asking was, “What the heck do I do with these emotions?”   I’ve been there too. And it breaks my heart, because experiencing emotions is one of the gifts of being human.    But the good news is that all of us can reclaim this part of ourselves and learn to feel our emotions. And when we do, it...

358 – Creating a Healthy Blended Family with Amber Jones

You just met the new love of your life, and after a season of single parenting, you’re so excited to build a life with your new partner and create a beautiful blended family.    But you don’t just have yourself to think about. Between their kids, your kids, exes and in-laws, forming new bonds and creating healthy dynamics can be, well, complicated. Not only do you want to be a great parent or stepparent to your blended family, but you’re also navigating brand new territory with your partner, from different parenting styles...

357 – 5 Steps to Empathy with Rob Volpe

We’ve all felt it: the extra tense political discussions, the harsh climate on social media and the overall division between people. It often feels like half the planet is living in a different world and we just can’t seem to understand each other.   This isn’t just in our heads. Studies show that empathy has declined 40% since 1979, and today, one third of people say they can’t easily see the point of view of somebody else.   We have to learn how to listen, hear and respect each other again.   The good news is...

356 – A Raw Conversation About Sobriety with Laura McKowen

Cheers. Salud. Skol.    Wherever you are in the world, it seems like alcohol punctuates every celebration.    But have we stopped to ask if alcohol is really good for us? Or have we paused to get curious about why we drink – and when it moves from genuine enjoyment to unhealthy numbing out?   Recently, I’ve noticed more people having conversations about sobriety, from giving up drinking entirely to swapping a few cocktails for mocktails, and I thought it was time we talked about alcohol through the lens of The Adult Chair®.   In this episode, I’m...

355 – Cultivating Friendships as an Adult with Dr. Marisa G. Franco

There is an old Irish proverb that says, “A good friend is like a four-leaf clover; hard to find and lucky to have.”    While some people thrive in a big group and others prefer to have a few close friends, there isn’t a human on the planet who doesn’t need friends!    But making friends seems to get harder as we get older. Gone are the days of finding a BFF because you happened to sit next to each other on the school bus. Friendship in adulthood takes intentional effort.   In this episode, I...

354 – Balancing Your Hormones for a Healthier Life with Candace Burch

There are so many different aspects of being an emotionally healthy adult. We’re complex, connected beings, and our bodies, our minds, our emotions, our spiritual lives…they all play a role in how we feel every day.   It all matters!   One of the areas we don’t talk about enough is our hormones. Hormones impact SO many of our bodily and mental functions, and we’ve been kept in the dark about them for too long! Everyone deserves to understand this part of themselves!   In this episode, I talk to hormone health educator Candace Burch to...

353 – How To Empower Yourself To Set Healthy Boundaries: Rebecca’s Story

When it comes to standing up for ourselves and setting boundaries, there are few places where this is tougher than with our family of origin.   Family brings a whole different dynamic to the table: our foundational attachments, our childhood programming, group expectations and our natural loyalty to our parents.   The most successful and strongest people I know can still fall into old patterns or feel like younger versions of themselves around their parents and family.   In this episode, I’m talking to my friend, Rebecca, whose family would often criticize her when she would...
