    214 — Why Self-Care Isn't the Answer to Your Problems
    May 23 2025
    Self-care often gets hailed as the ultimate fix for stress, burnout, and every mental health issue. But self-care is frequently misunderstood. Sometimes, it can be like putting a Band-Aid on a deeper wound. So if self-care isn't the cure-all answer, what really helps for long-term change? That's what I'm talking about today. Some of the things I share are: Why self-care isn’t designed to fix issues like negative thinking patterns or toxic relationships. The problem with quick fixes like bubble baths when your stress is rooted elsewhere. The psychology behind building mental strength and why it’s more important than pampering yourself. How to figure out if you need to fix the problem or fix how you feel about it. The five practical steps that will help you strengthen your mind.

    212 — What Are You Feeding Your Brain? Here's What You Need to Know About Your Mental Diet
    May 16 2025
    Have you stopped to consider what you're feeding your brain every day? You wouldn’t fuel your body with junk food and expect peak performance. But many of us do exactly that with our minds. We doomscroll or binge watch stuff without giving it a second thought. But the things you read, watch, and engage with shape your mental strength. Just like your physical diet, your mental diet has a profound impact on your focus, emotions, and overall well-being. Some of the things I cover in this episode include: How your “mental diet” determines your thoughts, feelings, and resilience. Why consuming negativity—even for just 14 minutes—can leave you anxious and overwhelmed. The telltale signs that you’re stuck on a diet of “mental junk food.” The dopamine trap behind social media and why it leaves you craving more but feeling worse. Three simple and practical steps to “clean up” your mental diet and boost your mental clarity. How small shifts in consumption can make a big difference.

    209 — The Money Talk Every Couple Needs to Have with Ramit Sethi
    May 5 2025
    Do finances cause stress in your relationship? Have you and your partner avoided conversations about money? Or are you stuck arguing over small expenses like groceries and takeout? Money is one of the most significant sources of conflict in relationships, but it doesn’t have to be. Personal finance expert Ramit Sethi, host of the Netflix series How to Get Rich and best-selling author of Money for Couples, discusses how couples can work together to address money. Some of the things we talk about are: Why over half of couples don’t know their own household income (and how that creates conflict). How to create a shared vision of a “rich life” together. Why arguing about small expenses is a losing battle (and what to focus on instead). A simple framework to start having positive, productive money conversations. The importance of guilt-free spending and why financial independence matters for both partners.

  • 208 — Coping With Anxiety: An Anxiety Toolkit for Fast Relief

    208 — Coping With Anxiety: An Anxiety Toolkit for Fast Relief
    May 2 2025
    When anxiety creeps in slowly (or skyrockets suddenly), you're going to want fast relief. With the right tools, you can calm yourself down right away. Anxiety is one of the most common mental health challenges, but often the advice given for managing it is long-term lifestyle changes that feel out of reach when you're in a state of panic. As a therapist, however, I often teach people fast-acting tools for coping with anxiety. Some of the things I share in this episode are: Why overcoming avoidance is key to breaking the anxiety cycle and regaining control of your life. How to "change the channel" on your anxious brain to interrupt racing thoughts and ruminating. A simple breathing trick called “smell the pizza” that calms your fight-or-flight response instantly. The surprising power of ice water and the mammalian reflex to reset your nervous system. How creating a reverse worry list can trick your brain into reframing anxiety into excitement. Why scheduling time to worry so you put your anxiety in its place and stop it from hijacking your day. How to build a mental strength toolbox that will help you start coping with anxiety effectively today.
