    Why You Sabotage the Things You Want Most (And How to Stop); Britt Frank

    What if you’re not broken—just stuck? What if your anxiety, your fear, your procrastination… are not signs of dysfunction, but messages from the parts of you trying to help you survive? In this conversation, I sit down with Britt Frank—licensed therapist, trauma specialist, and author of The Science of Stuck—to unravel what it really means to heal. We talk about the power of parts work, why labeling ourselves as ‘damaged’ keeps us from growing, and how self-awareness isn’t just about light—it’s about looking honestly at the shadows too. This is not your typical healing conversation. It’s real, it’s raw, and it’s the wake-up call so many of us didn’t know we needed. If you’ve ever felt like you should be further along in your healing, or that something inside you is working against you—this episode will change how you see your mind, your past, and yourself.

    The #1 Mistake You’re Making in Relationships (and How to Fix It); Intimacy Expert From “Too Hot Too Handle”; Brenden Durrell

    In this conversation, intimacy expert Brenden Durell shares his journey from a professional athlete to a healer, discussing the importance of vulnerability, trust, and emotional availability in relationships. He addresses the stigma surrounding men's healing, the role of porn, and the various types of intimacy. Durell emphasizes the significance of self-awareness through practices like the mirror exercise and the need for slowing down in life to find peace. He also explores the complexities of monogamy, infidelity, and the evolving definitions of masculine and feminine energies, concluding with insights on tantra and its relevance in personal growth. takeaways Intimacy is not just about sex; it's about connection. Men face unique stigmas in their healing journeys. Self-awareness is crucial for personal growth. Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. The role of porn in relationships is complex and requires boundaries. Trust can be rebuilt after infidelity, but it takes work. Different types of intimacy are essential for healthy relationships. Social media can distort self-image and intimacy. Practicing mindfulness can help cultivate peace. Tantra teaches us to embrace vulnerability and chaos.
