Episode 138: Can You Still Love Your Ex AND Let Them Go?
In this episode I discuss the question, can you love AND let go? So often we think in order to let go of an ex we need to forget them or hate them when in reality you can still love them at a distance, have fond memories with them, AND be able to let go of your relationship. I discuss the concept of contrary action, and how a breakup isn't about telling yourself not to love your ex it's about taking actions to slowly let them go.

#132: Listener Episode: Losing Alcohol and Gaining Vision
On today's listener episode I interviewed Chelsea, who recently got out of her 3 year relationship with an unfaithful partner. Despite the title of this episode, the purpose is not to encourage you to stop drinking but rather to see yourself, your worth, and what you deserve in a new light, which is exactly what Chelsea did in her healing process. Towards the end of her relationship, Chelsea made the decision to go alcohol free, and in the process she gained new glasses that allowed her to finally see herself, her relationship, and her partner in a new and renewed way which ended up leading her to the decision to end the relationship knowing he was not treating her in the way she deserved. Chelsea has a very impactful story, and know it will be so valuable for so many of you!

Not only does this episode pertain to birthdays, but can also be useful for other important days that might come up, such as an anniversary.

#128: Listener Story - Finding Yourself Again
On today's episode, I got to talk with Kylie who is a 29 year old therapist who shares her story of finding herself again after her breakup and divorce. Kylie was with her now ex-husband since she was 19 years old, they we're married, and share a daughter together. This episode covers a lot of things, including navigating divorce, the process of coparenting, and has a great perspective of why her breakup happened, and what worked and didn't work while navigating her breakup . The main thing she talks about is the fact that she was in a very dependent relationship with her ex, and how empowering and freeing it was to finally find her own feet. Learning to love herself again, do things with herself, and spending time alone.
#127: The Experience of Grief with Krista St. Germain
On today's expert episode I am talking to Krista St. Germain who is a master certified life coach, post-traumatic growth and grief expert, a widow, and a mom. I've been wanting to get an expert on grief for awhile now, being such a misunderstood topic that we know so little about. Krista went through her own extremely heartbreaking experience 6 years ago, losing her husband and over the course of the following years she wanted to help other widows going through the same thing. This episode will help give you validation for your feelings, and is certainly relatable to not only widows but anyone experiencing grief. Absolutely loved getting to interview Krista, and I know you will all love it too.
