I’m talking about sex again!! In this conversation with Faith Harper, we talk about sex, intimacy, trauma, relationships and everything in between! Faith is not only an expert in the field of sex and therapy, but she normalizes all human behavior and frames it in a way that is so fun to talk about (she says the F-word a lot!). If you want to be able to show up more authentically in your relationships, and more importantly, with yourself, you’ve got to work through your shit. 

In this episode I interview Shaun Galanos, a relationship and love coach who helps people develop emotional intimacy tools for themselves and their partners. We talk about love, sex, intimacy, communication, dating in quarantine, oh, and peanut butter! He has an honest, straightforward and fun energy in giving people advice on how to thrive in partnership, and shares his #1 tip that he gives to everyone he works with. It is: “talk about the thing.” As Fred Rogers says, “everything mentionable is manageable” and Shaun brings this wisdom to help uncover the root of where couples and their intimacy gets stuck. If you want to thrive in your relationship (current or future!) you won’t want to miss this episode.

This conversation is with the amazing and insightful Silvy Khoucasian, who imparts beautiful wisdom and tools on how to create effective and healthy relationships. Bringing her personal experience of being raised within two different cultures along with being an introvert and sensitive person, she, along with her training, uses an intuitive approach to help couples connect, be vulnerable and thrive. A big focus of our conversation is on boundaries, and Silvy highlights invaluable tools that any couple can implement as soon as they’re done listening. And the title of this episode highlights one of my most favorite awarenesses that I learned while in my couple’s therapy, and this shift in language is the #1 thing that can impact your thinking and communication.

Alright ladies - this one's for you! I could have talked to Alexandra Solomon for hours - no wait, make that days!! We cover so much juiciness in this episode about all things relationships, sex, and even how to talk to your kids about sex. I absolutely love when I come across brilliant people, putting forth amazing work, in a relatable and attainable way, and Alexandra is the real deal! Highlighting her new book, Taking Sexy Back, we focus a lot on how women can embrace themselves and their sexuality in a healthy, positive, and fun way. And teaser...you’ll want to listen all the way through to the end...there’s talk about the clitoris that I promise you, you won’t want to miss!

I also know that I’m not the only one who was unfulfilled in their life and not only had to come to terms with that reality, but had to gain not only the courage but the tools to create lasting change. And I also know that to change is scary - it’s an unknown. But at some point to not create the change, to stay stuck, is harder than it is to get unstuck. That is why I am so passionate about teaching these tools to others, because I know it is possible. In this week’s episode, I take you on a deep dive into the pathways to get unstuck. I share with you my proprietary framework, The Cycle of Reactivity, as the way you can work your way out of the habits and patterns that are preventing you from

This conversation starts off with the powerful question of “who are you when you are alone, in your own head?” It’s one thing to put on your outside persona for others, and yet there isn’t always alignment from what we are showing to others and how we feel on the inside. It’s so easy to stay stuck and limited in how we show up in our lives, holding ourselves back from stepping into our true authenticity and our personal power. And when we continue to push down our emotions, fears and doubts, they’ll eventually show up somewhere and wreak havoc on our health, mindset and ability to live fully. In this interview with Michael Sherlock, we talk about her vulnerable journey through suicidal ideation, depression and the power of putting bright blue streaks in her hair, and how it has all guided her to become more vulnerable and fearless, not only in how she lives her life, but in how she shows up as a leader to train others.    More about Michael: Don’t be fooled by the name, the hair color, or crazy shoes.

I’m fascinated by people and as a therapist I get curious about common patterns that I see come up time and again with clients. As a universal truth, I know that love isn’t enough, relationships are hard, and everyone wants to be seen, heard and validated. And though we all have those same basic needs, we often fail to meet our partner’s needs, we miss the mark of effective, compassionate communication and we find ourselves stuck and disconnected. In this week’s podcast episode, I share a working theory based on my observations that highlight 4 common patterns that are beneath the details within conflict between partners. Tune in to hear what these patterns are, and next time you are stuck in disconnection, see which one of these patterns is arising, so you can use this insight to help you move through the conflict with a bit more compassion, awareness and ease.

You might be wondering, what even is a sexologist? Well, it’s someone who educates people on what to do with their bodies and talk about how they feel about it. In this episode, I talk with Megan Stubbs, who is on a mission to guide people in how to be in better relationship to themselves, their sexuality, their partners and their bodies. We talk about how to begin the journey of self-exploration (especially if you’ve never given yourself that permission), tools for creating deeper connection and conversation with your partner, how to cultivate greater arousal and vulnerability even if you’ve never had that, and how to take the steps of overcoming trauma. This open, insightful and important conversation highlights the value of talking about sex, your needs, and your body without shame or judgment. Megan is also author of the new book Playing Without a Partner, A Singles’ Guide to Sex, Dating, and Happiness.   To learn more about Megan:  Official Website: sexologistmegan.com Facebook: /DrMeganStubbs Twitter: @

Emotions are hard. They are especially hard to navigate because we aren’t socialized to know what to do with them, nor do we often have role models that show us how to effectively and compassionately move through our emotions with greater ease and skill. The challenge increases when we believe that something is wrong with us for feeling what we feel, when we are in comparison-mind with the assumption that others are navigating through their emotions with greater ease, or when we believe that our emotions are permanent. In this episode, I share two little words that you can say to yourself to help you get through those moments when you just don’t think the pain and discomfort of what you are feeling is ever going to end. 

Coming from a childhood of trauma, Shari learned how the impact and power of keeping a smile on her face helped those around her, but also prevented her from fully feeling what was really going on inside of her. After many years of pushing down the pain of her trauma, she learned that she had to do for herself what she had mastered doing for others, which was to help create more joy. Shari now is known as the “joy magnet” and has turned this superpower into being a motivational speaker, international best-selling author, as well as being a joy and self-love coach. This inspirational conversation will definitely help you to recognize how tools such as compassion and acceptance, combined with adopting a mindset shift of “what if the Universe isn’t against you?” can help you create the vision of who you want to be and how you want to consciously create the life you are living.    Shari’s bio: Known as the ‘Joy Magnet’, Shari Alyse is a Motivational Speaker, International Best-Selling Author, and Joy and Self-Lov

In this episode, I share one of my favorite stories that highlight my mindset shift from feeling stuck to feeling free. I used to be filled with anxiety and fear and was afraid to fully live, because I was always thinking “what-if” in my mind, and instantly would go to worst-case-scenario. And once I pushed past that limitation, I was ready to fully embrace my life, and had an epic 36-hours in Kauai with my two daughters in the summer of 2015. It was my then-9-year-old who gave me two words that had a profound impact on me: “so far…” She was referring to the fact that this moment in time did not represent finite experiences in my life, and it was one of the best days of my life, so far. Her wisdom is something I still carry with me today and I’m happy to share it with you.   I’m taking only a few new clients in the month of June.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Debi Silber, who is the founder and CEO of the PBT Institute, which she founded to help people go through a post-betrayal transformation. She defines betrayal as a breaking of spoken or an unspoken rule in a relationship; the more you trust that person, the deeper the betrayal. After her own pain, Debi went on a personal journey to heal, and in that process, got her PhD, and studied people who had gone through a similar experience, and uncovered the steps necessary to not just get past, but to actually grow through the pain. When the person who gives you safety and security shatters it, the pain is tattooed on your heart, and the healing one goes through after a betrayal requires many different levels and layers. Betrayal impacts you physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, and you need a mutli-faceted approach to get to the truest healing. When trust is shattered, in addition to not trusting others, you don’t even know how to trust yourself, and getting back to sel

In this week’s episode, I talk about a theme that keeps coming up in my work with clients, which is how to manage through difficult moments when there is high emotion or conflict. Oftentimes we feel that when we are in conflict - a disagreement, fight, a transgression - we need to solve it, ideally right then and there. The problem is that in that moment, when the emotions have taken over, we can’t access the tools to be able to get to resolution or connection. We’ve got to regulate before resolving. This can be easier said than done, though with awareness, we have greater ability to see that when we are stuck in the spiral of emotions we literally can’t access the tools to get to a productive conversation. And regulation simply means to calm the brain and the body...and in this episode I teach you how to do all of this! It’s a game changer!

In this week’s episode, I talk with the inspirational Amy Lacey, who founded Cali’flour Foods and believes that eating healthy should taste as good as it makes you feel. Amy is one of the 23.5 million people suffering from an autoimmune disease, and after being diagnosed with lupus in 2010, she realized she needed to change her eating habits. With that in mind, she set out to recreate foods that no longer worked for her, and over recent years what started off as a necessary step in her own health has become her life’s work. In this conversation, Amy vulnerably shares her story, and how she believes her past pain and difficult emotions may have contributed to her physical health as an adult, and the work that she has done to create lasting change in her life, and in the lives of others! The amazing feedback she’s received from the people whose life and health was positively impacted by eating her products contributed to the immense success that her modest company

To join me in The Journey Forward Method, which starts Thursday April 29th, sign up here.   I vulnerably share with you my journey...not only so you can get to know me a bit more (if you are newer to the podcast…) but so that you can see why I am so passionate about teaching what I teach. I so deeply believe that growth and change is possible, and that we have the ability to push past what holds us back, so we can live a fulfilling life. I have literally broken through my barriers that I believed were stuck in stone, and as it turns out, once I broke through, there was no stopping me. In addition to serendipitous events that were signs from the Universe reminding me that I was on the right path, I learned new habits and new patterns in how I viewed the world, and more importantly, how I viewed myself. In addition to a massive mindset shift and pushing past self-doubt, the practices of mindfulness and meditation gave me the tools and framework to know what to do next in each moment. And this is my journey forw

A year ago we were in a huge unknown when Covid hit, and now we are in another huge unknown in how to engage in a “post-Covid” world. While we are still in the midst of the pandemic, with many people getting their vaccine, it brings the question of “how do I live my life now that I’m vaccinated?” For many people they are wanting to jump right back into “normal” life - but the reality is, there is no normal life to go back to, and we are in the midst of creating our new normal. In this episode I talk about the ways in which we can consciously and intentionally decide how to move forward, with greater discernment, getting off autopilot and into a more values-driven, aligned way of living our lives. While many may not consider how to live any differently, many people are concerned with new social norms, how to engage around other people, not knowing what is safe or not, and simply how to determine the pace in which they want to be living. At the core of these decisions is knowing your values, drawing boundaries

You know that love isn’t enough, right? It’s a hard and inconvenient truth that love in and of itself is not enough to carry a relationship through the ups and downs and vicissitudes of everyday life. And yet, there is no rule book handed to couples on the onset of a new relationship that will clearly guide them in how to manage micro transgressions, poor or ineffective communication, how to reduce the resentment over time, how to reconnect when feeling disconnected, what to do when old traumas resurface, or how to integrate the changes that naturally occur as we age and grow. Relationships are hard. Period. In fact, I’m surprised that they even work at all since we are a bevy of emotions, conditions and environments that impact our ability to show up for ourselves, let alone for our partners. And yet, there are tools that we can learn. In this week’s episode, I talk with Liz Earnshaw, a marriage and family therapist, who is training in Gottman therapy to guide couples in the research-based tools that will cr
