Episode 13: How to Be a Hot Mess with Dr. Jeremy Tyler
February 04, 2021 23:32 - 1 hour - 54.6 MBWe know perfection isn't possible, so why do we chase it? Dr. Jeremy Tyler joins Thea and Kate in a discussion about the trap of perfectionism, how to recognize when we are harming ourselves and our relationships by striving towards unreal standards, and why failing can actually be a pretty good thing (especially when you're belting out Kelly Clarkson songs on karaoke night). This imperfect episode features a blooper real if you hang on--or fast-forward, I guess, but why would you do that--t...

January 28, 2021 18:20 - 1 hour - 57.6 MBSometimes seemingly innocent interactions or minor setbacks set off emotional tornados in us that we can hardly understand.

Episode 11: Fair Fighting
January 21, 2021 23:41 - 1 hour - 59.6 MBConfrontation is one of life's less than pleasant realities.

Sometimes the idea of prescribed fate can hold us back, keeping us rooted in place for fear of making the "wrong" move or distracting us from being fully present.

Episode 8: Intention Setting
January 01, 2021 18:51 - 1 hour - 56.2 MBAcknowledge. Surrender. Celebrate. Do It Anyway. These are the kinds of intentions that Kate and Thea offer as alternatives to typical New Year's resolutions like losing weight or otherwise correcting a self-perceived flaw. Also, with the year we've all just had, what even are achievable goals? Maybe it's more about how you'd like to shift your perspective to see and embrace the strengths you already carry within you.
Episode 7: What's In Your Backpack?
December 28, 2020 20:03 - 58 minutes - 52.8 MBWhat do you carry throughout your life, and how often do you re-assess if it's all still serving you?

December 23, 2020 04:04 - 58 minutes - 52.7 MBWhether the loss is slow and steady or sharp and sudden, it leaves a tremendous burden on those it touches.
