Have you ever thought about why you think the way you think? Or act the way you act? Have you ever thought about what drives you in life and relationships?
In the "What Drives You?" podcast, we explore these questions and more through the relatable metaphor of the "family car," which sheds light on how our family of origin dynamics impact us throughout our lives.
What Drives You is brought to you by Ellen Y. Chute, a licensed therapist, former lecturer at the University of Michigan, and family systems expert. For the first six episodes, Ellen is joined by Tolly Taylor, an award winning reporter and expert interviewer. Together, Ellen and Tolly bring us an enlightening and thought-provoking dialogue that sparks the question, "What drives you?"

What drives you?
I really look forward to your Podcast. It most definitely has me thinking. Not only about myself growing up, but also where my children felt they sat in the car. I’ve asked all five of them to listen to your podcast. I’m anxiously awaiting for their feedback. Excited for you book to be released.
