As a therapist I have only one rule: you are not allowed to die. On this podcast I will answer questions about therapy, mental health, coaching, or anything else folks want to pick my brain about. I bring 20 years and over 1000 clients worth of experience and hopefully some humor.

    Louise Ashby. A person that spent money she received from a car accident on a boob job! Well that is who she is. A want to be princess, want to be actress. She has one or tow small unheard of parts in unheard of films. She has written a paragraph as a ghost writer for one person. Her Resume is embellished as anything. As a ghost writer she doesn’t have to or can’t, conveniently state what writing she has done. IN her case this is a benefit since she really has not done anything or worth. A s... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mandi Leigh on healing through song writing and performing
Q: What advice would you give to aspiring creators who fear writer's block or imposter syndrome?
Just start creating for yourself, even if imperfect. If you hit a block, step away and return later; open mics and sharing with people can reveal how audiences react and help you grow, often more than working in isolation.
Mandi Leigh on healing through song writing and performing
Q: How has therapy or other modalities influenced your approach to healing through music?
I've explored process therapy to access deeper trauma, alongside music. This combination helps me soften the intense memories and integrate them, rather than just talking about them, so I can speak about them without being overwhelmed by emotion.
Mandi Leigh on healing through song writing and performing
Q: Can you tell us a little about your story and how you got to where you are today?
I began writing music with an alt-rock band and found that the process of writing lyrics was incredibly healing. After personal losses in 2020, I embraced a broader healing journey through music, learning to play guitar and writing songs that helped me process grief, love, and resilience.
Dr. Juls on burnout and sex in midlife
Q: How do you decide when to shift modalities or introduce new tools with a client?
She emphasizes ethical justification, treatment planning, and a strong therapeutic alliance; new modalities are introduced only when they align with the client's goals and needs, with openness to back off if they don't fit.
Dr. Juls on burnout and sex in midlife
Q: Dr. Juls, could you tell us a little about how you came to this work?
Julie Merriman describes a long career in counseling, play therapy, and academia, with a shift toward holistic, nervous-system–centered approaches to burnout and midlife sexuality, explaining how personal experience informed her practice.
