A chat with Claudette about what Emotionally Focused Therapy is, and why it makes love and relationships less mysterious; what I mean when I say I am “empowered” and “angelic;” and systemic factors in mental health and trauma (Sep 2022).
Daughters of Sheba Foundation
Another brave conversation about romantic relationships - and why we might choose to be in one and why it’s valid to choose not to be in one. Do we feel empowered and content with our choices? Are we choosing out of love, or out of fear? How do you feel about being in relationship, or not? (Nov 2022)

Feeling stuck in your relationship? How do your emotions help you figure out what to do? How do you break free from what you “should do” to create healthy relationships that feel good to you AND those you relate with? (January 2023)

Hear the story leading up to my daughter’s death and husband’s affair, and highlights of what helped me cope and eventually move out of crisis into healing and then thriving.
What is Normal?
Anthropologist Dr. Paul Mason @sociocerebral asks “What is normal"?”
I ask him, “Why are you asking?” “What’s underneath that question?” “Are you sure that’s what you want to know, or is there a more accurate question here?”
As an Emotionally Focused Therapist, I can't help but get under the question to ask what is the emotion underneath. Listen to our talk to see what I mean and what happens when I do (January 2023).
Legend of You
As soon as I saw his name, Mr. Tenacity, I wanted to talk to Chad Osinga. I tell him what helped me stay tenacious in my own healing journey (hint, it has to do with being nice…to myself…tenaciously).

Listen as I chat with another therapist, my colleague, Mike Shawe, based in New York. We discuss connection, including self regulation and healthy relating.

Human Awareness Institute (HAI) Podcast
The Human Awareness Institute provides workshops and more importantly, human beings to connect with and experience relationships with. Haje and I discuss why love is not a mystery and how there is a science to intimacy and connection that we all have access to! HAI also embodies this through the workshops they offer: there are predictable ways to create connection in the experiences they provide (August 2023).
