Misery Loves Company! How to stay up while others try to bring you down.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2553314/fan_mail/new] In this episode, we get real about the energy people bring when they’re hurting and how easily it can spill over onto you. Not everyone clapping for you is genuinely happy, and not everyone criticizing you is actually right. Sometimes, people project their own insecurities, failures, and pain in an attempt to pull you into a space you’ve already outgrown. We talk about what it looks like when others try to highlight your flaws, minimize your growth, or make you question your worth. More importantly, we break down how to stay grounded, protect your peace, and keep rising anyway. This is about recognizing the difference between constructive feedback and disguised negativity, setting boundaries without guilt, and choosing not to carry what was never yours. If you’ve ever felt like someone was trying to dim your light, this conversation will remind you why you don’t have to shrink to make others comfortable.

Pick me! Why do I feel the need to be chose first?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2553314/fan_mail/new] This episode unpacks the quiet, consuming need to be chose first. The kind that does not come from ego, but from somewhere deeper. From being overlooked, almost picked, or made to feel like an option, we learn to crave certainty in places that only offer hesitation. This is about the difference between being wanted and being chosen, and what it costs when you keep accepting less. Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2553314/support]

My therapy interventions are not helping! Now what?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2553314/fan_mail/new] In this episode, we’re talking about that moment every therapist, parent, partner, or human hits eventually. When the intervention just ain’t intervening. You’ve tried the skills, you’ve pulled out the strategies, you’ve run the whole playbook… and still? Crickets. Dequan and Darnesha break down why interventions sometimes fall flat, how to know when it’s time to pivot, and what to do when your usual tools stop toolin’. We dive into real-life examples, mindset shifts, and practical ways to remix your approach without burning yourself out. Whether you’re a clinician, a caregiver, or just trying to keep your own life in order, this episode will help you stop forcing what isn’t working and start choosing what actually moves the needle.

We unpack the habits we blame on others, the excuses we hold onto, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes… we’re the problem. This conversation challenges you to take a step back, look inward, and own your role in your own life. Because real growth starts when the finger-pointing stops. If you’re ready to level up for real, this one’s for you. Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2553314/support]
