Lisa Streich is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor that specializes in attachment. She is a facilitator for Circle of Security and she works with parents and partners to deepen safety and security in relationships.

Deal with it. As new research has emerged, we have learned that you can chan...

Let's Learn-Part 2: The Dress, how and why it all went down

February 02, 2023 07:00 - 26 minutes - 24.3 MB

After learning what triangulation is, we will get into the meat of the dress story. What video am I talking about, the background of how it all started and finally, my response to all of it.  Atlas of the Heart by Brené Brown was the inspiration behind this episode.   The Shade Room article mentioned in the episode can be found here.  Because of the issues that have been keeping me away from the podcast I have started a Go Fund Me to pay for an attorney to handle my family court issues.

So its been a minute! Like any proper lady I don't wanna justjump right into things, lets warm up a little. Get to know each other better, have an appetizer of sorts! In this episode we catch up a little but mostly tell the outrageous story of Burt Pugach and Linda Riss. They were the focus of the 2007 documentary Crazy Love directed by Dan Klores. Watching this documentary always annoyed me because everyone involved, even Linda herself made such light of the situation. I couldn't understand...

If He Wanted to He Would

January 24, 2022 11:00 - 32 minutes - 28.2 MB

One of the ways it helps to get over a break up is to remember all the things that you no longer have to deal with. Remember all the empty promises, missed dates or lack lustre moments. Think of all the men lined up in your DM's. Or think of the woman selling farts in a jar. Men are paying money to buy a woman's farts in a jar and you're explaining basic respect to the person that is supposed to be choosing you. In this episode, Enitza and Mandy take a DEEP DIVE into some of the most support...

The Great Escape

May 09, 2021 06:00 - 24 minutes - 20.9 MB

The main question people always ask is "How did you get out?"  When you are trapped in any toxic situation, it can seem impossible to get out. Where do you even start when you are drowning in life, which never stops but simultaneously need to start over...in my case with 4 kids in tow.  It does seem impossible no matter the circumstances-but it is not impossible. If I can do it so can you.  To follow us on social media click on the following links Tik Tok, Instagram, Twitter, & we are on Y...

Lions, Tigers, Enablers...Oh My!

March 22, 2021 06:00 - 25 minutes - 23.6 MB

If it was so bad then why did you stay so long? It couldn't have been that bad. You're being dramatic.  You're just too emotional, you need to toughen up. Cry baby!   These are some of the typical thoughts, comments and responses to domestic violence and narcissistic abuse.  None of that is true or appropriate, its just easier for society to look the other way and blame the victim than to admit they are complicit.  Abuse can not happen without enablers! Most evil dictators sat in their com...

From House wife to Porn Star...how it all began

February 25, 2021 07:00 - 31 minutes - 28.9 MB

In this episode I discuss how my upbringing and childhood programming set me up for entering a very toxic relationship as an adult. After 12 years and 4 children...one that has had 4 open heart surgeries, I had enough and ended it.  I truly hope that as I walk you through my "awakening"  you are able to check in, with yourself and see if any of what I said resonated. Do you see parallels in our stories? Do  you want to get out of an abusive or shitty relationship and don't know how? I am wal...
