FFind yourself dreading holiday functions with your family because it’s only a matter of time until your mom pesters you about why you don’t go to church anymore… or you aunt gives you shit for not having kids or not being married… or your uncle gets in a heated (uncomfortable) “discussion” about gun rights? Or perhaps you’re dreading the impending convo where your bro asks you for money. Again.
Even though the holidays are supposed to be merry and bright, they can often be the most stressful when it comes to dealing with our families. Enter years of baggage, a shit-ton of guilt, mix in some alcohol, and you have a family holiday that leaves you feeling like shit instead of connected with those you supposedly love the most. If this sounds any kind of familiar, all is not lost. And, believe it or not, you can totally take back your holiday experience, boundary your ass off, andΒ consciously CHOOSE your focus this holiday. Even if your sister is an ass-hat.
This pod explores:
How to prepare for your family function ahead of time to set you up for success… even if your family is giving the circus a run for their money
What it really looks like to set up healthy boundaries and actually follow through on them
How to avoid (or end) uncomfortable conversations with the utmost grace
How to decide exactly what you want to focus on during the get-together… you know, so you can actually enjoy yourself

EEver feel like if you speak up for yourself and tell someone “No” to something they are requesting of you or decline an invite (even to obligatory family functions… GASP!) then you are totally being an asshole? Or being super mean? JUST because you’re saying “No”? If this is your belief, you are sooooo not alone. I can’t tell you how many times people tell me that if they say “No” to someone they assume they are totally responsible for the other person’s feelings.
What if that actually wasn’t true? What if saying “No” could be done with the utmost kindness and grace? What if saying “No” had nothing to do with the other person and only meant you were taking care of YOU? Well, guess what? It can. And, in this week’s pod, I’m challenging the listeners (YOU!) to not only take a stand and start saying “No” to the shit that no longer serves you, but also to change your entire mentality about what you’ve made this whole concept “mean’ until now. What if you could start saying “No” and totally lose the routine guilt trip? Yes, please! Tune in and I’ll show you how! Plus, there’s a totally free worksheet to accompany this episode! #winning
This pod explores:
What’s really happening when you say “Yes” to everyone else (besides yourself)
Why you actuallyΒ mean “I won’t” when you say “I can’t”
Exactly HOW to say “No”… without being an ass
How gratitude can get you out of almost every situation

PPerhaps some of the most challenging relationships we have in our lives are those with our own parents. Although we love them deeply, they are oftentimes the ones who pose the most “issues” in our worlds and who tend to drive us the most batty. You feel me? In this week’s podcast, I address a listener submission from a woman wanting to know what do if her father has caused tons of hurt to other beloved people in her life, but has always been awesome to her. Tricky, no? The same listener also wanted to know what to do with a mother who seriously bugs the shit out of her.
This sort of parental frustration is suuuuuper common and I’m sure you’re no stranger to a similar dynamic. In this episode, I offer 5 concepts to help you address a parent who is actually kind of an asshole and 5 different steps to broaching tough conversations with a parent who is driving you nuts! Unless you have a super flawless relationship with your parents (and if you do, bless you, and go thank them RIGHT NOW), then this pod is a MUST. Plus, many of these concepts can be applied to other relationships in your life which you find challenging.
This pod explores:
How to love someone deeply AND establish boundaries
How to figure out the role you want a less-than-stellar parent to have in your life
How to approach a conversation with a parent you have issues withΒ WITHOUT being an asshole
How to figure out exactly what you need from them and how to ask for it

IIf you’re like most peeps, you probably assume that you’re the only one struggling with issues in the bedroom. I mean, surely everyone else is have raging, erotic, kitchen-table sex and there must be something totally wrong with you, considering your sex life has been 50 shades of uncomfortable lately. #wrong Here’s the deal… sex is intimate, kinda touchy to talk about, and no one wants to feel like they’re not “doing it” right. And for that same reason, no one really talks about their struggles.
Well, guess what? You are toooootally not alone. In this episode, I dig into 3 (yes, THREE!) listener submissions who want some serious sex advice. I’m dishin’ on everything from polyamory, to not being attracted to your mate, to finding time to connect when you have crazy work/family dynamics. Plus, you can totally listen in private and no one will ever have to know… Lol.
This pod explores:
How to figure out why you aren’t interested in having sex with your partner (Even if you reeeeally love them)
How to navigate different sexual desires in your relationship
How to stay connected when you’re in a long distance relationship
How to deal with sexual insecurity (Both you AND them)

EEver find yourself cruisin’ through Facebook, just minding your own business, and then BOOM! You see someone who is thinner than you posing in herΒ bikini in her exotically sexy, annoying vaca pics and you instantly start comparing yourself to her. Or maybe it’s that one guy you used to work with sharing about his amazing work promotion for his new, totally awesome company, and your mind starts GOING OFF about how you just aren’t smart enough… not good enough… not accomplished enough. Just. Not. Enough.
Maybe it’s not even Facebook… although it can be a BEAST in the whole comparison thing. Maybe it’s your co-worker, your neighbor, your bestie, or even your spouse that you constantly compare yourself to. And it usually ends the same way… with you CONVINCED that you totally suck. How do I know? Oh, honey, because I have soooo been there. And you are certainly not alone. In this week’s episode, I share four ways you can change how you address the comparison trap which will allow you to actually enjoy stalking out your nephew’s hilarious pics on Facebook instead of plummeting into self-hate.
This pod explores:
How to catch yourself when you start “making up” what other people’s successes mean about you
How to get to the root of what triggers you
How to be sure you are setting yourself up for success by hanging out with the right peeps
How to switch your focus so you feel empowered instead of feeling like shit
