Thank You Heartbreak

Heartbreak Coach, Inner Power Queen, and Author of Breakups, Healing, and Self-Love, Ohouo Goa joins Chelsea 10:30 minutes in for the most personal, vulnerable, and healing conversation yet. Together they discuss becoming that which pains us (for instance, the cheater), where the fear of intimacy originates from, cultivating body acceptance when your body carries the history of trauma, and empowering yourself to live beyond society’s boxes and embody your entire range of self-expression. This episode is a lesson on teaching yourself to stay in the emotions, honoring where you stand in your journey, unlocking repressed experiences and pulling down all the walls on the road to self-intimacy.* I cried, I laughed, and I changed.

At the end of March, in the midst of heartbreak and what felt like a personal falling out with myself, I set my Hinge to Los Angeles, a city I never spent one happy day in, where I lived out the most heartbreaking years and relationship of my life, a city that also just so happens to be the only place I’d ever consider leaving New York for — for the next chapter and stage and… for love. Maybe I was falling back on my oldest and truest pattern of all — pursue a long-distance relationship — or maybe my heart wanted to take me somewhere and, under the weight of heartbreak, I was desperate enough to listen and follow... a brave, new possibility... for the podcast, that is. ;) Or, like the guest I’m learning from today, maybe I, too, am full of contradictions. Joining me 11 minutes in, Santa Barbara native, Tucker Atterbury aka Mr. Logic, is the first Hinge connection I got to meet and record with in-person. Together, over the course of 2+ hours in May, I began fulfilling my original intention from back in March —

Joining Chelsea 9:20 minutes in, he opens up about his controversial Tweet and dating journey, unpacking people’s most common assumption: if you’re still single, what went wrong? This episode is about how life and (self) love can actually go right.Topics explored within: love at first sight vs the X-Factor, intellectualizing our stories vs feeling our stories, fake vulnerability, the upside of meeting in community vs one-on-one with the expectations of online dating, swiping for validation while in a committed relationship, the difficulty of letting oneself be loved, the cruel side effect of projection, the fine China analogy of trauma, the little you vs big you in family systems theory, the lonely reality that life moves on with or without you, opening to love when you’re healing vs healed, the moving target of success, leaning i

Transformational Speaker and National Best-Selling Author of You.Are.The.One. and, most recently, The Magic of Surrender, Kute Blackson has been recognized as the mindfulness guru that billionaires go to for advice. Joining Chelsea 15 minutes in, Kute shines a light on surrendering, a topic that both rules and limits our lives but, with better understanding, can actually liberate us to our next level. We discuss surrendering to whatever life is currently trying to express through you, the evolutionary nature of goals, attracting our mirror manifestation in romance, understanding the protective intention of the ego, living with the impulse to impact, and relinquishing the master addiction better known as control in favor of magic.

Transformative coach, mediator, creative consultant, and first time author of Carry Me: Stories of Pregnancy Loss, Frieda Hoffman joins Chelsea 10 minutes in to normalize the dialogue around death and desire and open up about the emotional seesaw of infertility and pregnancy loss, cycling between hope and disappointment, an all encompassing love and then estrangement, and learning to chart one’s own path with a fiery feminist spirit in the midst of surrendering to the vulnerable space of partnership, the mystery of one’s body, and the lurking sense that maybe this isn’t meant for me. We talk about struggling with depression and suicidal ideations as a teenager, turning dark energy into a big energetic ball of human and creative potential, debunking the myth of needing to be fully healed to be worthy of a fulfilling and freeing partnership, and the beauty and bravery of gifting ourselves the possibility of love and more connection especially when we’re not a finished masterpiece.To connect with,Frieda Hoffman:

You have to actively go do something to treat yourself and trust the people

When Laura Whitfield was fourteen, her extraordinary brother, Lawrence, was killed in a mountain climbing accident. That night she had an epiphany: Life is short. Dream big, even if it means taking risks. So, after graduating from high school, she set out on her own, prepared to do just that. Laura's stirring memoir, Untethered: Faith, Failure, and Finding Solid Ground, is about a young woman’s seeking nature and the quest to fill the void left by her brother’s death through complicated relationships, the demanding nature of New York City,  the chance to become a cover girl, returning to college, and more.

A world-renowned authority in self-mastery, Peter Sage is a 6X TEDx Speaker, international & serial entrepreneur, philosopher, teacher, and best-selling author. His most recent book, The Inside Track: An Inspirational Guide to Conquering Adversity, is the collection of 11 private letters that Peter sent to his elite coaching groups throughout his 6-month sentence in the most violent prison in the UK as the only non-criminal prisoner. Instead of playing the victim, he chose to identify as a ‘secret agent of change' and went from mentoring frustrated billionaires to transforming the lives of his prison inmates."You couldn't make that up," Peter explains, "which is why I knew it had to be engineered at a higher level of intelligence." Joining Chelsea 17:30 minutes in, Peter talks about disarming the narcissist and being the star of your own movie, life being a growth-centric experience not a comfort-centric experience, the day we finally decide to be okay with not being liked, h

“The day I ran away was the scariest day of my life but I did it,” says Dr. Heidi Brocke, a Toxic Relationship Awareness & Healing Specialist.

Jenna Parkany, the Founder and CEO of JC Creative Media, a remote digital marketing business primarily focused on helping business owners find their "digital voice” and tell their story, opens up about losing her brother in a tragic fire and then losing her "dream" job during the pandemic. We dive into the heartbreak of discovering your dream job isn’t a dream after all, the internal conflict of not being able to present as who you truly are at work, overcoming the crippling effect of imposture syndrome, the sequential order being put to a halt during COVID, using job loss as an opportunity to discover what it is you 100% want to do (people pleasing not included), empathizing with an ex even when your paths split into differing directions, continuing to cultivate connection with a lost one, the heartbreaking tension of knowing they aren't here but feeling them here nonetheless, and why tiptoeing around grief hurts more than it helps.Jenna Parkany:Instagram: @JennaParkany & @JC_Creative

Tony Blankenship, the author of Self-Help Sucks: The Anti Self-Help Guide to Inner Peace and Contentment, joins Chelsea to shed light on the ways in which anger is fear, how the endless quest to get this, do this, and be that is inevitably a heartbreaking chase to close the gap between where I am and where I believe I need to be, prioritizing equanimity and contentment, the desire to fall out of love with one’s exhausting ego, freedom is not being a slave to your demands, and why the spirituality of the 12-steps is possible for anyone.

"My story was typical," Sex & Intimacy Coach Irene Fehr says describing her picture perfect marriage with her ex-husband. "We fell in love. Everything was wonderful in the beginning. We had amazing chemistry. We were the couple that everyone looked at and said, wow, we want to have what you’re having. It looked great from the outside but, on the inside, just by getting married, it didn’t make us experts in being married. It didn’t all of a sudden make us know each other and know how to make a relationship work, how to make love and sex work, how to negotiate, how to take care of each other’s emotional needs, how to even express our own emotional needs. So, the way I wasn’t living my own life was because I was performing. When it came to sex, what was I reading? I was reading Cosmo and the different tips and how a woman is supposed to be. I also grew up on shows like Friends who showed me you’re supposed to be nonchalant and easy about things. I couldn’t fathom this idea that I could actuall
