Mary and David reflect on the last two years of the Third Place Podcast and share what has been emerging in part because of this work. Our society is in a moment where we need the principles of the Third Place now more than ever.

Healthy Conflict: a Conversation with Mary and David - Ep 79

April 14, 2022 09:51 - 32 minutes - 30.2 MB

Conflict. As the world has continued to recover from lockdowns and physically being with people, the environment has left us all in a tense state and it seems like conflicts are all around us. We don't like conflict and most try to avoid it at all costs. That being said, it is one of the topics that we enjoy talking about the most - not because we love conflict, but because every relationship has it. And when you can “do conflict” well - when you can meet in that messy grey third place and ...

Pronouns and Why They Matter with Silen Wellington - Ep 78

March 10, 2022 12:19 - 39 minutes - 36.1 MB

For many cisgender people who are working to become advocates for others, there can be a learning curve when it comes to using new pronouns for non-binary individuals. One common hurdle for many people is that we are often surrounded by people who look like us. So when we have the opportunity to meet someone outside of our life’s experiences, and we can meet in a safe place to learn from each other, it’s a moment that we can come to treasure greatly in helping us to expand my worldviews.  ...

Middle School: Finding the Magic with Chris Balme - Ep 77

February 24, 2022 11:24 - 38 minutes - 35.7 MB

Middle School. Even saying this phrase can immediately bring up memories of awkwardness for many people. But it's also a formative time of life that gives us space to develop our relational skills and shape who we are. As we learn in our conversation with Chris Balme, there are new possibilities when we shift our perspective to view this as an opportunity to build into young people. This can radically change our perspective about this time and equip us as adults to be better guides for this ...

Deb Dana, LCSW is a clinician, consultant a...

Sex and Sexuality with Erwan Davon

January 27, 2022 10:36 - 40 minutes - 36.9 MB

How do we talk about sex? When thinking about uncomfortable conversations, it’s always one of the first questions comes to mind. How and when do we talk about it with our kids? How do we talk about it with our partner? And in thinking about things like the “Me too” movement and realizing that we’re at an age when we need safer boundaries around sex and pursuing healthier masculinity and femininity, it’s one of the areas of life where we need to have better communication and language.

January 05, 2022 10:18 - 38 minutes - 35.3 MB

The New Year is often a time to take a pause and hit a reset button so to speak. Sometimes this includes new mindfulness practices, sometimes new diet or exercise routines… It seems like the best times to make changes or create new habits are when there is a pivotal moment in your life. Well, for our guest Jo Schaalman, it was when she was literally hit by a truck. Jo was a state champion gymnast, a nationally ranked diver and a diving coach. While prepping for medical school she was t-bone...

Highly Sensitive People with Julie Bjelland

December 17, 2021 11:10 - 40 minutes - 37.2 MB

*This is a replay of one of our favorite episodes this past year! If you've ever been told "you're too sensitive," you're probably immediately hearing that as a negative comment. But being a highly sensitive person is actually an innate and highly unique trait, and as HSP expert Julie Bjelland points out, it is not a disorder, but rather a trait that has helped us to evolve. People with this trait have specially developed abilities that helped them be good at finding food, mates, and a safe...

We are replaying one of our favorite episodes from this past year! The Third Place is about creating space to have hard conversations. However, part of what is necessary for creating the element of safety required to even begin to discuss these difficult topics is first ensuring that our basic needs are met.

Sober Living with Ellen Elizabeth - Ep 70

November 24, 2021 21:49 - 41 minutes - 38.4 MB

The Holiday Season... a time for family, social gatherings, cold nights and warm fires. For many people, these moments are also filled with alcoholic drinks in hand, and the notion is that if you're not drinking along, you're also not having as much fun. For those who struggle with alcohol and other substance use, this is a time that can be a significant struggle where you may wish you could avoid gatherings all together. We are grateful to be able to share an honest conversation about sobri...

Narcissism: How Hurt People, Hurt People with Tejal Patel - Ep 69

November 18, 2021 10:33 - 37 minutes - 34.5 MB

"Hurt people, hurt people." This powerful and profound phrase holds so much truth. When you are a victim of any form of trauma, and you have the healing and ability needed to step back and look at the person who caused you pain, you can often find that the hurtful behavior patterns that someone exhibits stem from pain that another person had caused them earlier in their lives. We asked Tejal to join us today to specifically talk about Narcissistic behaviors and how these negative behavior pa...

October 14, 2021 09:24 - 37 minutes - 34.8 MB

Money is emotional! Spenders, Savers, Planners... we each take a different approach to money. Money can define our self worth.

Suicide and Gun Control - Part 2 with Scott Smith - Ep 62

September 30, 2021 10:40 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MB

Guns are the leading cause of death for those who die by suicide. Yet guns are so interwoven into our culture, thinking about reducing guns is a near impossible conversation to have - and it certainly does not allow for us to actually make an impact on reducing the number of people who die by suicide.

Postpartum depression is a treatable medical illness that affects about 15-20% of women after giving birth. It can develop anywhere from a few weeks to a year after delivery, but it's most common in the first three months postpartum. However, postpartum depression can be hard to spot, because the moodiness and other symptoms are similar to the "baby blues" — a short-lived state that affects up to 70% of new mothers. Only 15% of all women with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, including ...

Implicit Bias is Neither Good nor Bad with Ryan Wynett - Ep 52

July 20, 2021 21:03 - 50 minutes - 46.7 MB

When we hear the word "bias," it is often heard with a negative connotation. In reality, we all have bias and it's neither good nor bad. Ryan Wynett defines bias as "the attitude or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions and decisions in an unconscious manner." Our biases are based on our personal experiences, and most often through indirect influences. Approximately 95% of all thinking is unconscious, and biases simply help our brains to make decisions process information quick...

July 07, 2021 11:34 - 40 minutes - 37.4 MB

The vitriol in American politics was a problem long before Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and the 2020 election. Affective political polarization (not only disagreement on issues but personal contempt and distrust) has been growing between us for at least 25 years, and today there is evidence to suggest that we are now as polarized as we have been since the Civil War. Americans no longer see their political opponents as simply wrong or misguided. They see them as enemies who must be defeated ...

Pornography and Addiction: Safe Vulnerability and Healthy Accountability with Jeremy Lipkowitz - Part Two - Ep 48

June 23, 2021 04:34 - 33 minutes - 31.1 MB

In order to break the cycle of a pornography addiction, one of the most important things is to find someone who you can be vulnerable with, and who can hold you accountable. So many people struggle with pornography in isolation, and they are afraid to tell others about their struggles in part because the addiction can also be a source of shame. Just the ability to tell a single person and realize that you're not a bad person if you have an addiction can be a huge weight off of people's shou...
