    #152: On today's episode, psychotherapist and founder of Therapy in the City,  joins the podcast for a conversation about what it actually means to heal. So many of us spend our lives chasing happiness while trying to avoid pain, but what if the very thing we're resisting is what allows us to experience the deepest joy? Aliza explains why healing isn't about becoming happy all the time, but about learning to embrace the full human experience.

Han shares her Substack (linked here), which opens a conversation into what it actually means to heal beyond just intellectualizing your patterns and explore how many ambitious people use work, achievement, and constant productivity as coping mechanisms to avoid feeling, and how protector parts developed in childhood can continue running our lives long after we no longer need them to survive.

    #145: On today’s episode, Han and her best friend Britt are recapping their experience at Coachella, something that ended up being way deeper than either of them expected. What started as a festival weekend turned into a reflection on inner child healing, self awareness, and the ways we disconnect from ourselves in the name of being “productive,” “mature,” or “put together.” They also break down the reality behind the curated content, why Coachella isn’t always as fun as it looks online, and what the environment revealed about their relationship to joy, play, and shame. Han and Britt also get into dating standards, self respect, and what it actually looks like to do the work in therapy, learning how to move through discomfort, question your patterns, and reconnect with parts of yourself you may have shut down over time. The girls get into: why Coachella is seen as the “playground for your inner child”feeling disconnected from your inner childwhy “fun” can feel unproductive or uncomfortablethe judgment we hold against our younger selveslearning how to experience joy without shamedoing the work in therapy & building self awarenessgetting uncomfortable for the sake of growththe reality of Coachella vs. what you see on social mediawhy the festival isn’t as glamorous as it looksEverything you need to know about artist passeshow curated content shapes perceptiondating standards, respect & the bare minimum standardsnavigating modern dating & emotional maturityThis episode is for anyone who feels disconnected from their inner child, struggles to let themselves experience joy without overthinking it, or is working through self awareness, shame, and healing in a deeper way.
