The Gray Area

Episode 12- Does the parent-child relationship change when the kid becomes an adult?

The million dollar question... plus some BIG NEWS on a personal front. But beware... it's not all fun and games, I talk about the controversial video I posted this week regarding Israel/Palestine and its structural similarities to the parent-child dynamic.

Episode 11- Kendra and her Psychiatrist, feat. Abigail Gunn, LMHC

Yeah.... we had to talk about it. Unfortunately, Abby and I have opinions that only the minority of people share regarding the whole "Kendra fell in love with her psychiatrist" fiasco playing out on TikTok. Abby is a therapist specializing in childhood trauma, specifically childhood sexual abuse, and we get into why we believe Kendra.

Episode 10- How to listen (parents & married men, beware!)

Listening is the #1 skill that transforms relationships in my opinion. Here I'll elaborate on what your role is when it comes to listening (whether that's with your own parents, in your relationship, and with your kids) and more specifics on how to do it. If you're a parent or a married man, guard your ego because I'm coming for it!

Episode 9- Motherhood and the invalidation that comes with it, featuring.... SHAWNA THE MOM!!!

Shawna Lander is the crazy talented actor behind her skit series on family dynamics. It features characters Shawna, her husband John, her MIL Barb, SIL Jen, and others… I was lucky enough to connect with her and talk with her about her work and mission, motherhood, and most specifically, her extremely triggering character Barb! Hope you all enjoy this as much as I did!

Episode 8- Will my take on "meanness" actually help you get unstuck in your marriage?

So I may have posted a controversial take on "meanness" and how to address it in parenting... and it triggered a LOT of people. I think these same people that were triggered by it would really benefit from how my take applies to their marriage. Listen and let me know!

Episode 7- If your partner is toxic to your kids, what is your role?

This episode was such a big deal for me to have out on time. I have been blocked and blocked from a creative standpoint but after using BEND and (many) hate lists I got right back on track. It's a heavy subject today.... but finally addressing physical abuse in estrangement and asking the tough questions that come from that.

Episode 6- You aren't as emotionally mature as you think you are

On this episode I cover a topic I am MOST passionate about- internalizing. Don't listen to this episode unless you're ready for some hard truths.... all said with love of course. This information might be the missing link to your emotional health that you've been looking for... I hope so at least!

Episode 4- How to break through Enmeshment

In this episode I talk about revelations I've had this week... specifically about the role of "enmeshment" in issues of estrangement. In summary, enmeshment is the heart of EVERYTHING relationship problems and I believe MOST people are enmeshed. I explain what it is, what it looks like, how I believe it came to be, and examples of it/what to do about it. It is not the end for you!!!

Episode 3- How to Stop Intellectualizing

Intellectualizing is what is holding you back in your relationships! It can show up as defensiveness or being "logical" when the situation calls for presence, attunement, compassion and curiosity. It can hold you back in your relationship with your KIDS especially! Learn everything you need to know to change this behavior so you can finally learn the felt sense of connection.
