Therapy, Without the Couch

Boundaries and Circles of Trust

Let's discuss the benefit and the place for boundaries, by defining the circles of trust among circles of friends. We will elaborate on the levels of comfort with people in our social circles, clarifying how and when to open up, and what determines access to your inner circle!

The Psychology of Dating

Here I break down: what affects attraction in relationships, why we're attracted to certain people, how to balance your wants and needs in a partnership, what issues of yours may be affecting your success, where to look for future mates, and what are your goals for dating around? Lots and lots of thoughts, tips and information.

Women in the World - A Juggling Act

I sit down with Toni Will, sports executive, author, speaker, and leadership coach. She currently serves as the General Manager and Governor of the Kalamazoo Wings, making her one of a small number of women leading a men’s professional hockey franchise. Toni is the founder of a growing coaching and speaking practice. She hosts the Women In… podcast, is the author of Rebellious Success, a forthcoming book that redefines achievement through self-trust, alignment, and sustainable ambition, and is a TEDx speaker. Toni and I discuss the juggling act of being a woman in a man's world, a working mom, and managing addiction alongside it all. We explore themes of communication, fashion and social pressures of being a woman in the world.

Mom Anxiety and Bad Mom Fears

Are you afraid you're a bad mom? Every mom asks this question at some point. Let's explore the common fears and worries, to normalize this experience. You are not alone! You are probably not a bad mom. It is likely due to companies selling products, influencers seeking followers, and shifts in the mom landscape that have you doubting yourself.

Shame, Shadow Selves and Repression

I explore the notion of the shadow self, made famous by Jung but known across many cultures. We talk about balancing dark and light, and accepting that all humans have urges and desires that may not be socially front and center, but should be acknowledged and felt. Repressing or denying those aspects of oneself almost always lead to worse outcomes.
