E14 Lessons from Therapist Kirk Voss – How We Get Stuck & How to Heal

How much of what you think about therapy is actually true? In this episode, I sit down with Kirk Voss, a marriage and family therapist with years of experience helping people navigate mental health, relationships, and personal growth. We discuss common misconceptions about therapy, how human behavior follows predictable patterns, and what it really takes to heal. Kirk shares insights into self-diagnosis issues on social media, how to find the right therapist, and why vulnerability is essential for personal growth. Plus, we talk about emotional fatigue in therapists and practical strategies for maintaining mental well-being. Whether you’re considering therapy or just want a deeper understanding of mental health, this episode is packed with wisdom and actionable advice.

E10 Kiana Miller – Wedding Photographer and Long Time Friend

Kiana and I have been friends for a decade now. She's someone I know I'll always have a connection with. She lives ambitiously and authentically, and anyone who knows her is blessed. Kiana owns a successful wedding photography business and has scaled in many ways over the last few years. She's a fantastic choice for a photographer if she's not already booked! 📸: @kianacorri
