  • Beware of claims

    I was listening to episode 523, and couldn’t believe what I was hearing when the guest and host started talking about the pseudoscience claims from Masaru Emoto like it was legitimate science. The guest’s method is basically “manifestation” wrapped up in some BS that makes it sound like cognitive psychology. It started off less wacky and then she veered into talking about how it “changes you on a molecular level”. Really disappointing that a clinical psychologist would feature this on her show. ... more

As someone with a background in behavior change science, I really appreciate how grounded and practical her guidance is, giving real tools in addition to the concepts she articulates so well. I walk away from each episode feeling more regulated, more intentional, and... more

  • Well done

    As a certified Imago therapist in KC Mo area, I can professionally endorse this approach and the results. Not everyone is willing or able to navigate the diff out ego work that is required to stop focusing on the other and focus on self. Your reaction are hard wired into You! They live In you. Not your partner. Conflict is growth trying to happen.
