    #342 How to Reclaim Your Life from Unreasonable Expectations with Dr. Jennifer Reid

    In today’s expert episode, I’m joined by Dr. Jennifer Reid, a Columbia and UCLA-trained psychiatrist, to dive deep into the topic of guilt, especially as it shows up for women during and after breakups. We discuss her new book, Guilt-Free: Reclaiming Your Life from Unreasonable Expectations, and how the emotion of guilt, while often adaptive, can become overwhelming and shape how we process the end of relationships and navigate healing. Dr. Reid shares the unique ways guilt impacts women, the difference between guilt and anxiety, and why we often blame ourselves when a relationship ends. We also explore her SPEAK framework, a powerful process to help you understand, work through, and release unnecessary guilt during heartbreak and beyond. If you struggle with guilt after a breakup, this episode is packed with validation, practical ideas, and hopeful reminders that moving forward is possible.

    #341 How to Break Free From Repeating Patterns with Dr. Gillian O'Shea Brown

    In today’s expert episode, I’m joined by Dr. Gillian O’Shea Brown, NYU professor, psychotherapist, and author of “Psyche’s Awakening: A Guide to Emotional and Somatic Healing Through the Wisdom of Greek Myth.” We dive into why we keep repeating the same relationship patterns (romantic and otherwise), how our psychological “Achilles heel” holds us back, and the power of using ancient Greek myths like Medusa and Sisyphus as mirrors for emotional healing. Dr. Gillian shares actionable exercises for identifying your core wounds, discusses the importance of understanding your own story’s prologue to change its ending, and explains how somatic awareness can help break painful relationship cycles.

    #340 Recognizing Your Traitor Within with Jessica Anne Pressler

    In today's expert episode, I'm joined by psychotherapist and author Jessica Anne Pressler to discuss her new fiction novel, Your Traitor Within. We dive into the inspiration behind the book, why she chose storytelling to illuminate cycles of self-abandonment and toxic relationships, and how early childhood fears—especially fear of abandonment—can transform into people-pleasing and fawning behaviors in adulthood. We talk about the concept of the "traitor within," how to begin recognizing and healing self-sabotaging patterns after heartbreak, and what it really takes to break free from unhealthy relationship cycles. Whether you've experienced abuse or simply struggled with setting boundaries in dating, you'll find practical advice for moving forward and, most importantly, healing your own heart.

    #339 Science-Backed Ways to Boost Self-Esteem with Dr. Marisa G Franco

    In today’s expert episode I’m joined by Dr. Marisa G. Franco, psychologist, researcher, and bestselling author, to discuss her brand new book "Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Secure Attachment." We dive deep into the real foundations of self-worth and self-esteem—why so much of the traditional advice around affirmations, "fake it till you make it," and positive thinking doesn't align with scientific research. We chat about how changes in self-esteem can impact friendships and romantic relationships, why some connections drift as our confidence grows, and the powerful role of honesty and embracing our “bad” feelings in building a stronger sense of self. Dr. Franco also shares actionable exercises (including her favorite for memory reconsolidation), practical tips on feeling safe with uncertainty after heartbreak, and how being real with yourself is the most important ingredient in healing. If you struggle to receive love, feel lost after a breakup, or want to truly raise your self-worth, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!

    #336 Why the One Who Hurt You Can't Heal You with Najwa Zebian

    In today’s expert episode, I’m sitting down with the incredible Najwa Zabian, Lebanese-Canadian author, speaker, and educator, to talk about her powerful new book, The One Who Broke You Can’t Heal You. We dive into why so many of us seek closure, validation, and even healing from the person who hurt us—and why it never truly works. Najwa breaks down the struggles we face when trying to let go after heartbreak, how we often avoid focusing on our own healing journey, and discusses the challenge of accepting someone for who they truly are once they've shown us their true colors. We also explore why crying over lost memories can be just as important as finding new joy, what it means to trust yourself after betrayal, and the freedom that comes from prioritizing your own peace over fixing or changing someone else. If you’re struggling to move on, looking for breakup advice, or want tools for healing after heartbreak, this episode is a must-listen.

    #335 Healing Heartbreak Through Somatic Tools with Beth Schild

    In today’s expert episode, I’m joined again by somatic coach and breathwork facilitator Beth Schild, whose last appearance was our most-listened-to episode of the year. We dive deep into the world of somatic healing and trauma recovery after heartbreak—Beth shares incredibly practical tools you can use immediately to bridge the gap between your mind, heart, and body. We discuss why positive mindset work and talk therapy can only take us so far, how unaddressed childhood wounds show up in our relationships, and what it really means to tap into your body to move through heartbreak. Beth also opens up about being her own first client during her divorce, and how she found deep healing (and eventually, love again) by getting to the root of her patterns. We also cover topics like self-compassion during the healing process, why ‘doing all the right things’ after a breakup sometimes isn’t enough, how to sit with discomfort, and simple practices to truly connect with yourself.
