The "Fix It" Mentality

The “fix it” mentality shows up when we’re feeling insecure and seeking perfection. Join my guest Chris Ward, LCSW and I as we explore the impact of “fix it” mentality on our lives and relationships and how problem solving differs from the pressure of trying to fix it all.   Chris is a stress and burnout therapist in NY.

All or Nothing Thinking

All or nothing thinking impacts us all. Culture and societal expectations might influence the way we are each impacted - but you can trust me when I say, "It's something you want to be aware of".  In this episode I am joined by Angela Porter, LPCC [https://www.instagram.com/angela.porter.lpcc?igsh=a241OWpxdWpjaGl6]. We talk about our clinical and personal experience with All or Nothing thinking and what we recommend listeners can do to challenge their thinking and move beyond the all or nothing and black or white. We referenced Shankar Vedantam's Hidden Brain Episode (and book) "Useful Delusions". Listen Here!

De-centering Men and Strengthening Your Relationship

Why are men most often at the center of our lives, on a personal, professional, and systemic level? In this episode I dive into the dynamics many couples and families struggle with when it comes to managing the emotions of the men in their life to create safety, how awareness on gender dynamics can impact your relationship, and what can couples do to create meaningful and lasting change.  I am joined by Angela Porter, LPCC and Celia Beaty, LPCC, two incredible therapists that have years experience working with couples and families.  Live in New Mexico or Florida?
