What I Heard This Week

It's the end of the podcast as we know it-for Season 1! In today's episode, we observe basic truths such as: life is painful no matter what, there is nothing wrong with you, you are not alone, and sticker charts are the bomb diggity.

Some of the people we find ourselves around sometimes say things that super hurt and pain us. Dealing with this is so complicated. But, have no fear-we have some ideas to help.

Even having the question-"Do I want to be in this relationship anymore?" is super unsettling and scary. But normal. And even important to ask. Today, we talk through the scary wobbly walk of questioning what we want for our relationships.

One listener asks if it's possible they aren't feeling bad enough. Like-what if they aren't suffering as much as they should be? We hear this concern a ton-and we are excited to dig into this point with you on today's Q+A episode!

Conflict in relationships is hard-but is it bad? On today's Q + A episode we answer this Listener Question: Is it ok to have conflict with your partner, or does having problems mean something is wrong with your relationship?!?

You meet someone. Your gut says "NOPE." Do you override your intuition or listen?! Great question. Let's discuss. Also-spoiler for the Netflix show Ozark around 4 minutes in. So sorry.

Whew! Relationships with parent figures can feel complex, confusing, and sometimes just outright rejecting. We're diving into a "Part 1" convo about navigating the mother (or mother figure) dynamic today...let's talk about what to do to make this relationship (and others in your life) a little more easeful, shall we!?

A couple of Katie's asked some questions-and we responded. Today, we give you more details about what exactly The Brink Academy is (spoiler-it's amaze) AND how to handle doing your own work & seeing others in your life who could benefit from the same but are sooooo not interested!

As humans, we tend to operate from one assumption that creates a cascade of misery. Today, we are asking a big question that taps into this assumption and helps us shift from despair to hope.

You've got questions, we've got answers! Today we're tackling questions from our listeners on generating motivation to get sh*t done, building self-trust + self-love, and helping yourself to follow through and stop avoiding (with pleasure!).

Other people can be SO defensive, right?! It's maddening. All we want is for them to listen-why is that SO hard? What in the world can you do when you aren't being heard by someone? We have some ideas for you in today's episode.
