The Terri Cole Show Terri Cole

Are you intolerant of how you actually feel?
Or are you intolerant of what others believe? 
My amazing guest and pal, Africa Brooke, is here to tell us how to get curious and be in the middle with her new book, The Third Perspective: Brave Expression in The Age of Intolerance, which I think is a much-needed antidote right now. 
Africa shares why she believes curiosity is a dying art, how to spark more of it (especially in ourselves), and how we can begin bravely expressing ourselves in the world, one step at a time, without censorship. 
Toward the end, Africa also tells us about her own experience of self-sabotage and how this led her to her current body of work. 
I hope you enjoy this enlightening conversation as much as I enjoyed having it.

Growing up, my mother, my sisters, and I were all afraid of him. 
I didn’t think either of these things was a “big deal” until I connected the dots in therapy and realized how much I was playing out my father wound in my romantic relationships. 
Many of you say you think you have a father wound. By sharing my own story, I aim to illustrate a few of the different ways it can present and impact your life.

My amazing guest this week is Kara Loewentheil, a feminist lawyer-turned-life coach. She’s here to tell us how a sexist society gets in our heads and how to get it out with her new book, Take Back Your Brain. 
We talk about the messages we absorb from society at a young age, how they shape our thoughts, and how we can slowly replace those thoughts with less crappy ones.
If you're a high-achieving woman who feels like you need to do it all and be everything to everyone, this episode is for you. As Kara says: You can't hate yourself into liking yourself! 
If this episode resonates with you, don’t forget to preorder her book, Take Back Your Brain, releasing May 21! 

Have you ever wondered if your relationship with your father or father figure is normal?
Or maybe you know it wasn’t normal, but you’re not sure how it impacted you and your adult relationships.
If you suspect you have a father wound, this episode is for you. We’re starting with the basics: what a father wound is, the symptoms and causes of father wounds, and why it is painful. 
Healing my own father wound has had a profound impact on my life, and I can’t wait to share more about this with you over the next few episodes.

I am so excited to welcome Dr. Frank Anderson, renowned trauma expert, to the show to talk about his newest book, To Be Loved: A Story of Truth, Trauma, and Transformation. 
It's both a memoir and a beautiful exploration of healing trauma. I absolutely loved what Frank had to share about the different types of trauma, the healing process, forgiving the perpetrator, forgiving ourselves, and reclaiming our own narratives. 
If you've experienced childhood trauma of any type, I think you'll get a lot out of this conversation. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 
Gentle TW: there is a mention of suicide at 21:15. If this is a tender topic for you, please skip forward 20 seconds

Does Mother’s Day bring up hard feelings for you or give you anxiety?
Do you find it difficult or frustrating to find a Mother’s Day card that speaks to your relationship with your mother?
Is it a day you’d rather pretend doesn’t exist?
If you answered “yes” to any of these, you’re in the right place. I am sharing ideas for how to honor, grieve, mourn, and celebrate on Mother’s Day, no matter what kind of relationship you have with your mother.
