  • Sex and Intimacy within a Partnership

    Sex and Intimacy within a Partnership
    Jan 24 2025
    EP:125 Hi Friends! I've noticed a pattern with my clients - many struggle with intimacy and sex within their marriages or partnerships. This is a topic that isn't openly discussed, but it's so important. Intimacy should be a deep, mutual connection - not a one-sided experience where one partner's needs are neglected. I've heard too many stories of intimacy feeling like a chore, rather than a pleasurable, regulating experience for both people. I want to empower you to advocate for your own needs when it comes to intimacy. Your body, your choice. You deserve to feel comfortable, respected, and mutually satisfied. Don't be afraid to have an open conversation with your partner about your desires and boundaries. Your wellbeing should be the priority, not just meeting your partner's needs. You have the right to prioritize your own pleasure and regulation.

  • Supporting Each Other Through Struggles

    Supporting Each Other Through Struggles
    Jan 17 2025

    EP:124 Hi friends! this episode was a doozy, let me tell you. I dove headfirst into some major home renovations during my winter break, and let me just say - the dust, the fumes, the chaos, it was a lot to handle! But you know what, my amazing neighbor was so kind to let me and the family stay at her place for a week, which was a total lifesaver. It gave me the space I needed to recharge and reconnect with my partner, Carter. He's been such a rock for me through all of this. When I was really struggling, he stepped up and made sure I got the time and support I needed, whether that was pushing me out the door for some alone time or planning a surprise date night. It's made me realize how important it is to have that kind of partnership, where you can lean on each other when times get tough. I'm so grateful for him, and I hope all of you can foster that same level of support in your relationships.

    Xoxo, Dr.B

  • The Secret to Lasting Nervous System Regulation

    The Secret to Lasting Nervous System Regulation
    Jan 10 2025

    EP:123 Hi friends, I'm so excited to share a powerful insight with you today - the fastest way to regulate your nervous system is NOT control, fixing, or jumping into action. In fact, those strategies often backfire and perpetuate stress. Instead, I'll show you how to build a larger window of tolerance, so you can stay calm and present, even when life gets chaotic.

    No more meltdowns or irritability - just more peace, connection, and joy. This is life-changing stuff, and I can't wait to share it with you. Through my Thrive programs, I've seen firsthand how this approach can transform lives. When we learn to manage our stress response, everything shifts. We become more patient, more present, and better able to show up for ourselves and our loved ones.

    If you're ready to ditch the stress and cultivate more calm, this is for you. It's not always easy, but the rewards are profound. I'll guide you through the process, step-by-step, so you can reclaim your power and thrive, no matter what life throws your way. Stay tuned, my friends, and get ready to experience the freedom that comes from a regulated nervous system. It's a game-changer, I promise!

So real and true! Best parenting expert

Wow. I’ve been waiting for Dr.B to start a podcast for forever!!! And was it worth the wait. She is so real, and unapologetically herself. Damn she has been through so much and yet has time to help us all along the way of our own parenthood journey. Thank you Dr.B for sharing your knowledge with the world. We love you.
