    #345 EMDR Therapy Explained with Jane Garnett

    In today’s expert episode, I’m joined by Oxford-educated, LA-based psychotherapist and author Jane Garnett to dive deep into the healing power of EMDR therapy, especially for anyone navigating the pain of heartbreak or feeling stuck after a breakup. We explore why EMDR works when traditional talk therapy can fall short, particularly for perfectionists and people-pleasers, and discuss how it helps process trauma and shift deep-rooted relationship patterns. Jane breaks down what EMDR looks like, why it’s so transformative, and how it empowers you to move beyond just self-knowledge into real, embodied change. We also talk about the importance of finding the right EMDR therapist, how heartbreak can be a surprising privilege and catalyst for growth, and what to look for if you’re interested in trying EMDR for yourself.

    #344 Healing Mother Hunger with Kelly McDaniel

    In today’s expert episode, I’m joined by licensed professional counselor and author Kelly McDaniel, who coined the term “mother hunger.” We dive deep into what mother hunger really means, how it can impact healing after heartbreak, and how unmet childhood needs can show up in adult relationships. We cover why even those of us who had “good” mothers can carry mother hunger, how shame and frozen grief play a part in heartbreak recovery, and the ways our early attachments influence people-pleasing and hyper-independence. Kelly shares actionable tips for nurturing yourself, building safer friendships, and moving forward, even if you never get the apology you crave. This episode is filled with insight for anyone struggling to heal, feel validated, or understand the root of their heartbreak. Be sure to grab your copy of Mother Hunger to learn more!

    #343 Why Am I Like This? Sabrina Zohar on Breakups and Building Better Relationships

    In today’s episode, I’m joined by Sabrina Zohar, host of the Sabrina Zohar Show and author of the new book "Why Am I Like This?" In this conversation we talk all things breakups, healing, and unlearning old relationship patterns. We get into the real reasons behind our "b******t blueprint," why knowing your dating patterns isn't enough to break them, and how childhood experiences shape our nervous systems and dating lives. Sabrina shares her own stories of heartbreak, seeing her ex move on, and learning to sit with uncomfortable feelings instead of reaching for old habits. We also cover the four survival responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn), the importance of regulation in relationships, and actionable tips for dating again after a breakup without falling into old cycles. If you’re ready for a blend of self-compassion, science, and no-BS motivation to change your relationship patterns, this episode is for you. Be sure to get your copy of Why Am I Like This? link here!

    #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.

    #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!
