  • 697 Love, Life, and the Power of Meditation with Yung Pueblo
    Mar 13 2025

    On today’s episode, I’ve invited Diego Perez (pen name Yung Pueblo) on to celebrate his newest book, How to Love Better: The Path to Deeper Connection Through Growth, Kindness, and Compassion. We talk all about how to form better connections with everyone you love: How to meet conflict with teamwork, how mindfulness can help you respond rather than reacting, and making space to listen to others when they are overwhelmed with emotion rather than matching their energy. Plus, Diego shares his origin story and his own biggest boundary struggle!

  • 696 What I Learned About Erotic Intelligence From Esther Perel
    Mar 11 2025

    Have you heard the term erotic intelligence before?

    If you haven’t, does it sound like it’s all about sex?

    Before attending a transformative retreat with Esther Perel and Paul Browde, that’s kind of what I thought.

    Talk about confronting! I had agreed to attend with a friend after her husband dropped out, without knowing the details, because it was in Costa Rica and who would say no to that?

    I was surprised to learn erotic intelligence is actually about feeling alive and energized in your life, and I walked away with a renewed sense of vitality.

    In this episode, I’ll share what I learned during the retreat as well as the questions and exercises we walked through to help raise your awareness around erotic intelligence. By the end, I hope you’ll feel similarly lit up about life.

Heather shares her story, tells how she learned the role of internal resistance in positive change, and gives you tips that will help you take back control when you feel like you just don’t have enough time.

  • 692 Navigating Codependent Relationships When You're in Recovery + They're Not
    Feb 25 2025

    Are you in a relationship with a high-functioning codependent (HFC)?

    Are both you and your partner HFCs?

    In my experience, HFCs tend to flock together. Many of my friends identify as HFCs, and my husband is also an HFC.

    Some of you have asked how to navigate relationships with fellow HFCs, especially as you get into recovery and become more aware of (and perhaps annoyed by) their behavior.

    If you can relate, this episode is for you because I’m talking about the dynamics of high-functioning codependency in relationships, how I’ve managed this in my marriage, and steps you can take to stay on your side of the street while shifting this dynamic into a healthier space.

  • 690 Is Flaking the New Self-Care...or Selfish? A Therapist's Take
    Feb 18 2025

    Is flaking - canceling at the last second - the new self-care?

    It seems to be on the rise and according to an article in The Guardian, the answer for some people is yes.

    I disagree.

    Flaking is avoidable with healthy boundaries and self-knowledge, and there are many self-care practices we can do that don’t involve regularly canceling on others.

    In this episode, I share my thoughts on flaking, explore the nuances of having the right to change our minds (which I stand by), and detail steps to take for actual self-care in your life.
