WHO IS TALIA?
"I am the Confidence + Assertiveness Specialist™. My work is centered around helping ambitious women heal patterns of feeling “not enough” or “too much” that manifest in their personal and professional lives and rewire subconscious beliefs so they can increase their self-worth and their net worth.
I make sense of evolutionary and social psychology to help you, in modern-day, understand how men and women approach life and relationships differently. Like, extremely differently. I teach you what makes us do what we do as women, and why we will be disappointed if we expect men to be like us.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology and am a Certified Psychodynamic Psychotherapist as well as a Jungian Life Coach. I felt too limited by the confines of therapy, so I began coaching to share my knowledge with a larger audience. I have extensive expertise to share that helps you gain a better understanding of how to change the way you think and feel to experience less disappointment in your life and how to attract and keep a partner. You will learn how to have a renewed sense of self in order to make the life you dream of and the partner you want a reality.

My degrees, letters behind my name, and titles “technically” qualify me to do all that I do, but I have over 15 years of experience ‘doing the work’ on myself. When I mentor, I say, “You have to sit on the couch before you can sit in the chair.” I also tell my clients, “As deeply as you know yourself is as deeply as another can know you.”

In this episode, we dive *right* in because Stephanie is on the verge of her breaking point and there is simply not a moment to spare! OKAY, GREAT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way...

What are we talking about?



You may tell by the title that the train has left the station and it's headed to ALL of the places. We talk about Stephanie's first time in her own apartment, our good friend Rachel and her even better friend Anxiety, lowering the drinking age and the absolutely shocking information about how many hours women are *actually* supposed to get when they sleep!
