    Austin Hatch is a certified sex addiction therapist and founder of Phase Your Recovery.

    The Past and Future of Sex with Dr. Marianne Brandon

    Sex therapist and psychologist Dr. Marianne Brandon is here to energize the conversation about sex. Marianne shares what she discovered after years of working with highly educated, sexually confident women who still struggled with low libido — and why the standard interventions weren't working. The conversation gets into evolutionary biology, the "10 seeds" framework for understanding desire differences, what it actually takes for women to let go in the bedroom, and what AI and VR porn mean for the future of human intimacy. In this episode: How Marianne fell into sex therapy — and kept it a secret for years Why giving women "permission" isn't enough to solve low libido The seed analogy: understanding desire differences through an evolutionary lens Why caretaking kills desire (and what to do about it) Practical exercises for women learning to open their bodies and men reclaiming their power VR porn, oxytocin, and why therapists need to be paying attention Romantasy, AI intimacy, and the growing turn away from real humans Guest Resources: Podcast: ⁠The Sex Doctors⁠ Website: ⁠drbrandon.net⁠ Psychology Today blog: The Future of Intimacy Brittani's Resources Website: ⁠https://www.brittaniprocknow.com/⁠ IG: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/brittani_procknow⁠ Intimacy Workbook: ⁠https://howtorelate.kit.com/b956780219⁠ Newsletter: ⁠https://howtorelate.kit.com/e9f87bb2dc⁠   ☕ Support the show and drink coffee!

    Why Connection Beats Algorithms: A genuine conversation with startup founder Devyn Lowry

    Devyn Lowry joins Brittani to talk about life as a startup founder, why empathy is a non-negotiable skill in tech, and the broken systems that led him to build Ocean Labs — a mental health platform designed to actually match people with the right therapist. Topics Covered: What it's really like working in startups (spoiler: a lot of hats) Why empathy belongs on every team, not just in design The research-backed reason therapeutic fit drives outcomes How current therapist matching platforms are just glorified database filters The ethics of VC funding in mental health tech AI, human connection, and why we need to get back to building things that matter Connect with Devyn: LinkedIn: Devyn Lowry Website: https://www.tryocean.io/ Email: ⁠devyn@tryocean.io⁠ Resources Mentioned: Ocean Labs beta launch: June 25th Therapists: reach out directly to join the network Prospective clients: early intake sign-ups opening soon Website: ⁠https://www.brittaniprocknow.com/⁠ IG: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/brittani_procknow⁠ Intimacy Workbook: ⁠https://howtorelate.kit.com/b956780219⁠ Newsletter: ⁠https://howtorelate.kit.com/e9f87bb2dc⁠   Support the show and drink coffee!

    What Are You Actually Living For? Purpose, Passion, and the Three Currencies with Drew Klobuchar

    What is purpose, and how do you find it when life feels uncertain, overwhelming, or directionless? In this episode, Brittani and Drew explore the relationship between purpose, passion, responsibility, freedom, and meaning. They unpack why purpose isn't always about feeling inspired or excited—it often emerges through commitment, curiosity, relationships, and even irritation. From childhood report cards and career choices to Viktor Frankl, daydreaming, self-limiting beliefs, and the role of relationships in creating meaning, this conversation offers a thoughtful look at what helps us build a life that feels purposeful.   In This Episode We Discuss: The difference between passion and purpose Why passion isn't always enjoyable—and often involves suffering How responsibility can create meaning and strengthen identity The connection between purpose and relationships Self-limiting beliefs that keep us from pursuing what matters Why freedom alone doesn't necessarily lead to fulfillment How imagination and daydreaming can reveal what you truly want Viktor Frankl's perspective on meaning, choice, and attitude The role of irritation, curiosity, and fascination in creating change Why relational care is a form of self-care Brittani's Resources Website: https://www.brittaniprocknow.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/brittani_procknow Intimacy Workbook: https://howtorelate.kit.com/b956780219 Newsletter: https://howtorelate.kit.com/e9f87bb2dc   Support the show and drink coffee!

    Therapy vs. Coaching, Leadership, and the Inner Work of Work

    What separates great leaders from ones who quietly destroy their teams? And when you're the one burning out at the top — do you stay or go? Kealy Spring, licensed therapist and executive coach in the San Francisco Bay Area, breaks down the inner psychology of leadership, what executive coaching actually is, and why most people calling themselves coaches probably aren't.   In This Episode Therapy vs. coaching — where they overlap and where the line actually is The energy audit: a practical tool for diagnosing burnout before deciding to stay or quit Golden handcuffs — how to think through ambivalence when the pay is great but you're miserable The 3-step cognitive reframe for catching distorted thinking at work (mind reading, personalization, and more) Imposter syndrome across career stages — and why it hits differently for women The double bind for women in leadership: likable vs. competent, and how to navigate it Why less than 10% of coaches are actually thriving — and what the unregulated industry gets wrong Key Takeaways 🔑 The energy audit isn't about adding to your plate — it's about gathering data so you know where to work the edges. 🔑 Cognitive distortions don't stay home when you go to work. Name it → check your evidence → reframe. 🔑 Coaching is strategic and time-limited. Therapy goes deeper into patterns and history. You may need both.
