    Sexless Marriage? The Brutal Truth About Why Your Partner Doesn't Want Sex | Love | E569

    Your partner keeps turning you down for sex. You're hurt, frustrated, and starting to wonder if they even want you anymore. But what if you've been getting the whole thing wrong? Here's the uncomfortable truth: Your sex life might not be suffering because the attraction is gone. It might be suffering because neither of you knows how to talk about what's really happening in the bedroom. In this episode, I'm joined by sexuality expert and couples therapist Dori to unpack the painful cycle of sexual rejection, resentment, and avoidance that's quietly destroying intimacy in so many relationships. And trust me, some of what she reveals might completely change how you see your partner. You'll learn: Why your partner keeps saying no to sex (and why it might not be about you). The bedroom mistakes that secretly destroy sexual desire. How to talk about what you really want without triggering shame, defensiveness, or a fight. Why sexual rejection turns into resentment, and how to break the cycle. How to reignite intimacy, even after decades of disconnection. Your sex life doesn't have to stay this way. If you're ready to stop guessing and start reconnecting, book a free consultation with Dori at growingself.com/dori. You deserve a relationship where intimacy feels good for both of you.

    Coercive Control: The Hidden Signs You're Being Manipulated by Someone You Love | Love | E568

    You said yes. But what if you were never really free to say no? Here's the terrifying thing about coercive control: It can look exactly like love. Exactly like consent. And you might not recognize the manipulation until you're already trapped in it. In this eye-opening episode, I'm joined by forensic researcher AJ Greer, who studies sexual violence, dangerous relationship dynamics, and the psychology of abusers. We're exposing the subtle manipulation tactics, shocking red flags, and dangerous power dynamics that can turn a relationship into something you barely recognize. You'll learn: The hidden signs of coercive control that are dangerously easy to miss. Consent vs. coercion: Why saying "yes" doesn't always mean you had a choice. Love bombing, jealousy, and manipulation: The red flags you should NEVER ignore. The open relationship ultimatum: When "agreeing" becomes coercion. The dangerous bedroom trend that can have deadly consequences. How to help someone you love who's trapped in an abusive relationship. If you've ever questioned your partner's behavior, second-guessed your boundaries, or wondered whether something that happened to you was actually okay, you need to hear this conversation. Ready to get clarity about your relationship? You don't have to figure it out alone. Book a FREE consultation with a member of my team at Growing Self.

    Women in Leadership: You Made It to the Top. So Why Are You Miserable? | Success | E567

    You didn't work this hard just to feel this miserable. You got the promotion. You earned your seat at the table. You built the career you always wanted. So why are you exhausted, lonely, and secretly wondering if any of it was worth it? Here's what nobody tells you about women in leadership: The higher you climb, the lonelier it can get. You're expected to be confident but never intimidating. Decisive but always likable. Successful at work while somehow keeping everything at home running perfectly, too. And the worst part? You start wondering if you're the problem. In this episode, I'm joined by psychologist and executive leadership coach Dr. Natasha Thapar-Olmos to expose the hidden emotional cost of leadership and what you can do to stop surviving your success and actually start enjoying it. You'll learn: Why reaching the top can feel so painfully lonely, especially when you're the only woman in the room. How to stop second-guessing yourself when every decision feels like a no-win situation. The hidden expectations that are driving your burnout (and how to break free). Why trying to do everything yourself is keeping you stuck. How to build the confidence, support system, and boundaries you need to lead without losing yourself. You can be ambitious without being miserable. And you don't have to figure it all out alone. If you're ready to feel confident, supported, and excited about your career again, book a free consultation with a Growing Self coach. Let's talk about how to make your success feel as good as it looks. And here's a little something extra: Dr. Natasha created a free resource just for our listeners! Take a Breather: 50 Options, 5 Minutes Each is packed with simple, five-minute ways to pause, reset, and recharge when life and leadership feel overwhelming. Because sometimes, five minutes is exactly what you need.

    Mental Strength: Are You Actually Healing, or Just Getting Better at Explaining Your Problems? | Happiness | E566

    You've done the therapy. Read the books. Analyzed your childhood. You know EXACTLY why you keep repeating the same patterns. So why isn't anything changing? Here's the uncomfortable truth: Understanding your problems isn't the same as solving them. And waiting until you feel confident, motivated, or emotionally ready might be the very thing keeping you stuck. In this episode, I'm joined by Amy Morin, psychotherapist and bestselling author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do, to challenge everything you think you know about mental strength, healing, and what it actually takes to change your life. In this episode, you'll learn: The mental habits secretly keeping you stuck (and how to break them). Why all that self-awareness isn't translating into real change. The surprising difference between mental strength and pretending you're okay. How to stop overthinking, overcome self-doubt, and take action before you feel ready. Three practical strategies to build mental strength, even when life feels overwhelming. Here's the bottom line: You don't have to feel strong to start changing your life. But you do have to start. And you don't have to figure it out alone. At Growing Self, our therapist-coaches combine the depth of therapy with the action-oriented approach of coaching to help you understand what's holding you back, break old patterns, and turn those breakthroughs into meaningful, lasting change. Ready to stop just understanding your problems and start doing something about them? Book a free consultation with our team. Let's turn all that self-awareness into actual progress.

    Daddy Issues: The Hidden Reason You're Never Good Enough | Happiness | E565

    You love your dad. He did his best. So why are you still desperately trying to prove you're good enough? Why do you keep choosing emotionally unavailable partners? Why can't you stop fixing everyone else's problems? And why does being the person who "has it all together" feel so damn exhausting? What if the patterns ruining your peace today started with a wound you didn't even know you had? I'm joined by psychotherapist and bestselling author Terri Cole to unpack the truth about "daddy issues," the invisible father wound, and how childhood experiences can quietly shape your self-worth, relationships, and ability to receive love. And trust me, this conversation got personal. In this episode, you'll learn: The surprising signs of daddy issues you might be mistaking for personality traits. Why even loving, well-intentioned fathers can leave emotional wounds. How your childhood may be driving your people-pleasing, perfectionism, and compulsive fixing. Why you keep falling for emotionally unavailable people and mistaking familiarity for chemistry. How to start healing your father wound, reclaim your worth, and finally stop walking on eggshells. Here's what I want you to know: You don't have to keep living out patterns you never consciously chose. If you're ready to understand what's keeping you stuck and finally start changing it, my team of therapist-coaches can help.

    They love you. So why does it feel like their job gets the best of them, and you get whatever is left? Maybe you're always waiting for them to come home. Maybe you've stopped asking for more because they're so busy. Or maybe you're the one saying, “I'm sorry, but I have to work.” Again. In this episode, I’m talking with Growing Self couples therapist Silas Hendrich, LMFT, about what happens when a career becomes the third in your relationship, and how to find your way back to each other. You’ll learn: Why high achievers can become more attached to work when things at home get harder Why the partner at home eventually stops asking for what they need How resentment quietly replaces connection The boundaries that can start rebuilding trust Small ways to reconnect, even when work isn’t slowing down Nobody has to be the villain for your relationship to be in trouble. You can both be doing your best and still wake up one day feeling more like roommates than partners. The good news? You don’t have to wait for the job to change, the busy season to end, or life to magically calm down. Small, intentional changes can start rebuilding warmth, trust, and connection now.

Is this actually a breakup and they just don’t have the courage to say it? That uncertainty can be excruciating. Because “I need space” can mean I need 20 minutes to calm down.

You’ll learn: How to tell a healthy pause from serious emotional withdrawal What not to do when your partner starts pulling away When taking a break can actually save a relationship The warning signs that “space” may really mean a breakup The question to ask when you’re done living in limbo You deserve clarity, not emotional purgatory.

    Want More Friends But Dread the Effort? Here’s What Actually Works | Happiness | E562

    Here’s the brutal truth about making friends as an adult: nobody is coming to find you. You want more friends. You want people who really know you, people you can call, people you actually want to spend time with. You just don’t want to go through the awkward, exhausting process of making them. And maybe somewhere along the way, you started wondering: Is something wrong with me? Am I too introverted? Too awkward? Too weird? Nope. But there is an uncomfortable truth: your future best friends probably aren’t going to magically show up at your house. Making friends requires action. The good news? You do not need to become an extrovert, work the room, or reinvent your personality. I’m joined by psychologist and marriage and family therapist Dr. Suzanne Wallach to unpack why adult friendship has gotten so hard and what actually works when you’re lonely, out of practice, or just really tired. You’ll learn: Why making friends as an adult feels so freaking hard Where adults actually meet people they might want to be friends with What to do when you want friends but dread the effort How introverts can build close friendships without pretending to be extroverts Why being comfortable alone can actually help you build better relationships Because you do not need 100 friends. You need a few good ones. And you don’t need to be less weird. You need to find your specific genre of weirdo. And if you’re realizing there’s a gap between the social life you have and the one you want, you don’t have to figure out how to close it alone. At Growing Self, our therapists and coaches help people create stronger relationships, build confidence, and make meaningful changes in every area of their lives.
