  • Informational and supportive

    After two years of trauma from fostering, old trauma from having a dysfunctional family growing up, reared its ugly head too, I found this to be very helpful and finally an outlet that speaks a language I’ve been missing. And lastly some connection - not alone on this journey.

  • Host’s vocal fry

    I am having a really hard time listening to this podcast because of the host’s vocal fry and valley girl voice. I am trying to focus on the content, but the voice is so distracting.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Connecting to Cope: Ranae Van Roekel
Q: How did connections and relationships influence your healing journey and your work with Connecting to Cope?
Feeling seen and understood by mentors like Katerina and, later, my husband, helped me reframe my self-worth. That sense of secure attachment gave me the courage to help others seek supportive networks and to turn trauma into purpose through Connecting to Cope.
Connecting to Cope: Ranae Van Roekel
Q: Tell us a little bit about your turning point in prison and what sparked your path to healing?
The turning point came when a strict, direct approach from a psychiatrist showed me there was a way out of the cycle of self-punishment. I chose to do the work, embraced therapy like EMDR, and built a plan that centered on accountability and coping skills to help others heal.
The Power of Clarity: Dr. Merideth Thompson
Q: What is the Clarity Matrix and how does it work in practice?
The Clarity Matrix has four quadrants showing contributions to the relationship in positive and negative ways, plus what lies outside of one's control, helping individuals identify what they can influence and what they cannot, and guiding them toward an action plan or small experiments to test changes.
Building a Life Worth Living: Gazit Chaya "Z" Nkosi
Q: Can you explain, for listeners, how nervous system regulation translates into meaningful change in relationships?
Regulation isn't just calming down; it's about creating conditions where the nervous system can repeatedly experience safety, which gradually shifts attachment patterns. Through bodily practices like breathing, gentle movement, mindful sensory check-ins, and safe storytelling, people learn to stay connected even under stress and develop a more secure sense of self in relationship.
The Journey to Self Love: Diane McDowell
Q: What practical tools do you use to help people build healthier boundaries and self-regulation?
Key tools include boundary setting as self-action, requesting clearly before enforcing boundaries, owning personal responsibility, and cultivating internal safety. She also uses the concept of a past-self letter to acknowledge survival actions, plus exercises like naming and befriending the reptile brain to reduce hijacking and improve relational functioning.
