    Ep. 58: Letting Go of the Story Our Ego Is Telling Us with Michael Morris

    There are people who enter your life and help you solve problems, and then there are people who fundamentally change the way you see yourself and the world. My guest this episode, Mike Morris, has been one of those people for me. Mike entered my life as my therapist, but he became so much more than that. He held space for me that I had never experienced before, and it fundamentally changed my life.  As a therapist with more than 40 years of clinical experience, Mike has helped countless people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, illness, divorce, and loss. Mike has a profound way of helping people loosen their grip on suffering and return to what is real, meaningful, and alive within themselves.  Mike feels like the spiritual dad I always needed in this life, not because he rescued me or fixed me, but because he saw me. He challenged me, believed in me, and helped me see myself more clearly. Through that relationship, I learned something that has become foundational to the work that I do today: that healing happens in safe relationships.  If you've ever listened to me talk about healing, acceptance, suffering, or what it means to feel fully human, there's a good chance those seeds were planted by Mike Morris. He has inspired me to hold the space that I hold for all of my clients and everyone listening, and it truly feels like a full-circle moment to share his wisdom with you this episode.  Resources The Sedona Method  Mike’s book recommendations:  The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle The Journey Into Self by Eckhart Tolle  Loving What Is by Byron Katie  A Thousand Names for Joy by Byron Katie  Rupert Spira  Adyashanti  Sunny Sharma - YouTube

    Ep. 57: Finding Life on the Other Side of Relational Withdrawal with Erin Watt

    So you’ve figured out you’re repeating unhealthy relationship patterns that keep you feeling stuck and take you out of alignment with your authentic self. Now what? This is the question my guest Erin Watt, whose words of wisdom you’ve heard on this podcast before, is answering in her upcoming book, Love is Not a Drug. Like me, Erin has experienced these toxic relational dynamics firsthand, and only when she started approaching them as physical addictions was she able to break free from the patterning. In her work, Erin emphasizes that love itself is not addictive in nature; after all, love is the highest vibrational state there is. The addictive aspect of these dynamics lies rather in the compulsion for connection, the emotional high of feeling chosen, and a dysregulated nervous system that confuses familiarity with safety.  Much like substance withdrawal, withdrawing from addictive relationships requires a temporary discomfort that can feel impossible to bear. Erin is here to reassure you that healing is possible and a life full of genuine connection and authentic alignment is waiting for you on the other side.  Resources Substack: https://substack.com/@loveisnotadrug Website: innerrae.com  Instagram/TikTok: @erinewatt /  @innerrae YouTube: @innerrae

    Ep. 56: When Hope Keeps Us Stuck in Emotional Addiction, Self-Connection is the Antidote

    “Maybe this time it'll go back to the way it was. Maybe if I explain it this way or bring them to this therapist or this place of support or buy this book, maybe they'll get it and they'll start treating me with respect. Maybe if I am just prettier or skinnier or cater to their needs more, they'll pick me consistently. Maybe this time, something will change.”  The hope we keep holding onto in toxic relationships keeps us attached to who we want our partner to be, rather than who they show themselves to be. Even worse, our nervous systems become attached to the highs and lows of these dynamics, creating feelings of physical addiction and dependency. These relationships can feel exciting, but they come at the great cost of abandoning ourselves and living in perpetual survival mode. Healing from addictive love isn’t just about leaving the dynamic, it's about rebuilding a relationship with yourself that feels safe enough to come home to. Reconnecting with yourself is a learned skill that requires conscious effort, but once you start choosing yourself, you realize you don’t have to disappear in healthy relationships to stay loved, and that’s where everything changes.

    Ep. 55: Understanding the Cycle of Narcissistic Abuse

    A lot of narcissistic relationships do not start badly. They start with a lot of intensity, connection, and attention. You feel pursued, you feel deeply chosen, seen, special. It can feel like, ‘finally, someone sees me, chooses me, and wants me in the way that I've always wanted to be wanted.’ For those of us that have spent a lot of our lives feeling emotionally deprived or like we've had to fight for love, that kind of intensity feels intoxicating. But narcissistic abuse operates as a cycle, and when that dynamic inevitably moves from lovebombing to devaluation, you’ll do just about anything to get back to the way it was, even when it means abandoning yourself.  This episode, I’m following up on my conversation with Elise Iafrate and breaking down how these narcissistic dynamics form, the different stages of the abuse cycle, why it can feel so impossible to leave once you’re hooked, and what self-abandonment looks like in these relationships.  Whether you’re stuck in the cycle yourself or you’re watching a loved one go through it and you feel helpless, understanding the psychology behind what they’re doing and why it works is the first step in breaking out of the cycle. The bravest thing you can do in this dynamic is to stop trying to save the relationship and start saving yourself.  Resources Website: robinbreckenridge.com Instagram: @coachwithrobin TikTok: @robinbreckenridge YouTube: @growwithrobinbreckenridge

    Ep. 54: Taking Back Your Power After Navigating Narcissism with Elise Iafrate

    This episode, I'm sitting down with someone who has done this work deeply in her own life and now supports other women through some of the most challenging relationship dynamics there are. Elise Iafrate is a strategic consultant who works with women going through high-conflict divorces, especially when narcissistic patterns are involved. She has a background in family law, giving her a unique perspective from both a practical and emotional lens.  Elise grew up in a family dynamic where high-conflict personalities were common, and it wasn’t until our work together that she started to recognize how self-abandonment and a lack of boundaries were survival skills she was still holding onto. Through boundary work and inner child healing, Elise has been able to reclaim her power, and she now brings purpose to her experiences by helping other women do the same.  Elise is someone who’s incredibly brave and deeply committed to creating the life she wants. Her story is a reflection of what's possible when somebody is willing to look at their life, tell the truth, look at what's not working, and choose something different, and I’m so honored to share our conversation with you.

    Ep. 53: Reconnecting with the Six Pillars of Self-Care

    In episode five, we walked through the six foundational areas of self-care. You slowed down, looked at your life, rated yourself in each area, and then life continued. We can move through our lives without even realizing that we've drifted a little; it happens quietly. But getting back into alignment can happen just as quietly.  We have two options in life: we either operate in our default settings, or we operate in intention. Systems like six areas of self-care allow you to recognize when you’re out of alignment and to return to yourself in small, intentional ways. This episode isn’t about learning a whole new system, it’s a reminder of the many wonderful tools you already have in your toolbox.  Self-care is a relationship. It is built through presence, through awareness, and through choosing yourself over and over again. Wherever you are today, come back to yourself, even slightly. This is where the shift begins, this is where the reconnection begins.  Resources Website: robinbreckenridge.com Instagram: @coachwithrobin TikTok: @robinbreckenridge YouTube: @growwithrobinbreckenridge

    Ep. 52: Creating a Practice of Self-Forgiveness

    There are moments in your life you've already thought about hundreds of times. You've replayed them, analyzed them, taken them to therapy, maybe you even understand what happened or why, but you haven't quite made peace with it yet. And because of that, a part of you is still back there, holding on, revisiting it, and using it as a reference point for how you see yourself today.  No matter how much you grow, you're still holding that version of yourself as evidence, keeping you disconnected from who you are now. Self-forgiveness is the only way to let go of the story. Self-forgiveness is the moment you stop turning on yourself and begin turning back toward yourself. It's where you can see clearly what happened and still stay connected to yourself in it.  You are human. You are going to have moments where you don't get it right. That’s not a failure, that's the experience of being human. You are here to learn, to grow, and to become more aware of yourself through these experiences. You don't become someone you love by getting everything right, you do it by staying with yourself through it all and being a safe place to return to no matter what.  Resources Website: robinbreckenridge.com Instagram: @coachwithrobin TikTok: @robinbreckenridge YouTube: @growwithrobinbreckenridge

    Ep. 51: What Your Feelings are Trying to Tell You

    So many of us grew up learning how to quiet our feelings, to push them down, to outrun them, to detach from them. We heard things like, “you're being too sensitive, calm down.” “You're overreacting, stop being so dramatic.” We weren't taught how to listen to what was happening inside of us, and now as adults, we don't know how to speak the language.  Feelings aren’t burdens, they’re communication from your nervous system speaking to you in real time. This episode, I’ll walk you through some common feelings we experience and the underlying need being communicated. Because when you understand what those feelings are communicating, you can respond in ways that actually support you.  Ignoring a feeling and the communication behind it doesn’t make it go away. That feeling is just going to keep knocking louder and louder until the divine 2x4 hits us across the face, so we might as well learn how to listen to them the first time. There's a lot of valuable information in our emotions; we just need the bravery to feel them and the self-trust to get curious about what they’re saying.
