(Episode #10) What if the thing you're most afraid people will think of you is actually the doorway to your next evolution? In this eclipse episode of our live coaching series inside The Bitching Hour!, we're digging into the fear of being seen — in money, in visibility, and in not knowing what comes next. If you've ever felt guilty for wanting support, or terrified of being watched, this is the episode for you.Recorded on the day of the eclipse and deep inside a collective month nine, this episode is soaked in purge energy — endings, closure, and hard-won wisdom. One caller is ready to leave a stable job for something her intuition can't yet justify on paper, and finds herself wrestling with guilt over leaning on her partner financially. Another is caught in a moral tangle over building something with AI while trying to separate genuine excitement from outside noise. Two more callers bring the visibility conversation full circle — one learning to trust her own unconventional pace, and one confronting a lifelong fear of being on camera with an unexpectedly playful fix. Expect talk of financial receiving, body image, alter egos, and the difference between what we should do and what we actually want.(00:00) Introducing The Bitching Hour!(02:54) Eclipse season and the numerology of month nine: purging, closure, and wisdom(05:05) A caller's pull to leave corporate for an unproven path(13:15) Unpacking the fear of being a "financial burden" — and learning to receive(22:30) The "wet cement" of playing it safe vs. trusting full resonance(32:00) Perception, AI, and sitting in the moral gray area(44:25) Permission to not know: finding safety in uncertaintyJoin The Bitching Hour for FREE with Zoey and Brittany: https://www.skool.com/the-bitching-hour-3959/about Listen to Part 2 over on The Bitching Hour!

Send us Fan MailWhat do you do when you sense God asking you to take a step, but you have no idea where that step will lead?If you're anything like Denisha, you'd love for God to hand you a five-year plan in a three-ring binder, complete with color-coded tabs. But often, God doesn't give us the whole roadmap. Instead, He invites us to stay close, listen for His voice, and trust Him with the next step.In this special episode of Living the Reclaimed Life, Denisha is switching seats and becoming the guest. This conversation originally aired on Zach Imboden's Full Life Coaching podcast, and Zach graciously gave us permission to share it with the Reclaimed Story community.Zach is a pastor, leadership and marriage coach, and spiritual director who helps leaders, couples, and ministry teams cultivate lives rooted in God's presence rather than the pressure to perform. He is passionate about prayer, spiritual formation, and helping people experience the full life Jesus promised.Together, Zach and Denisha talk honestly about what it means to trust God in seasons of uncertainty. They explore discernment, fear, control, obedience, and the wrestling that can happen when God's invitation takes us somewhere we never expected.Denisha shares moments from her own journey when God asked for her yes, from reconnecting with her biological father after 30 years, to stepping onto a stage when she would have preferred the back row, to eventually starting Reclaimed Story. Again and again, she has discovered that obedience doesn't always come with understanding first.Sometimes you have to put your feet in the water before you see God part it.In this episode, you'll hear about:Why faith is less about knowing the destination and more about trusting the One who is leading youHow relationship with God becomes the foundation for discernmentWhat to do when you're afraid you might make the “wrong” decisionWhy God is bigger than our decisionsThe prayer Denisha has been asking in uncertain seasons: “Jesus, what are You inviting me into?”How curiosity can help us release our demand for certaintyWhy wrestling with God can still be part of a trusting relationshipHow past experiences of God's faithfulness help us take the next stepWhat it means to become so convinced of God's goodness that, even when we wrestle, our hearts keep coming back to yesMaybe you're facing a career change, a new opportunity, grief, a relationship decision, a calling that feels bigger than you, or simply a next step you cannot quite see.You don't have to know where the path is going when you know the character of the One you're following.As Denisha shares in this conversation, certainty isn't found in knowing exactly what comes next. It is found in knowing Who you are clinging to.Scriptures MentionedProverbs 3:5–6“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding…”John 15:5“I am the vine; you are the branches…”Joshua 3The Israelites step into the Jordan before the waters part.Isaiah 30:21“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.'”Connect with ZachLearn more about Zach Imboden, coaching, spiritual direction, and his work at FullLifeForYou.com, and listen to his podcast, Full Life Coaching.Connect with DenishaLearn more about Denisha's speaking, coaching, and leadership training at DenishaWorkizer.com.To learn more about Reclaimed Story and find resources, encouragement, community, and opportunities to connect, visit ReclaimedStory.com.This episode originally aired on Full Life Coaching with Zach Imboden and is shared here with his permission.Here are two FREE Ebooks for you! 1.

(Episode #9) Have you ever felt the universe rearrange itself the second you decided to level up? In this two-part live coaching series inside The Bitching Hour!, we're digging into the beliefs, signals, and body signs that show up right before a timeline shift. Today's conversation is a dive into capacity, belief, and receptivity. Brittany and Zoey coach one client through a chaotic week of broken appliances and impossible-to-ignore signs, reframing "why is this happening to me" into "this is happening for me" — before turning to a second client's fear that her business, and her worth, can't be seen without paying to be seen. Then the conversation moves into the body: a client working the vulnerable edge of directness in a new dating dynamic, a speed-round on overstimulation, and a closing question about what to do when your body resists the exact timeline you asked for. Threaded through both episodes is one throughline — the medicine you want to give the world, you have to give to yourself first.(00:00) Welcome to The Bitching Hour + community updates(03:39) Reading the signs of a timeline shift in real time(20:16) The "I can hold it" mantra for expanding your nervous system's capacity(22:33) Breaking a generational curse in a dealership parking lot(28:41) Turning ad anxiety into a belief audit(43:01) The neuroscience of change(52:42) Why you're always your own first clientaJoin The Bitching Hour for FREE with Zoey and Brittany: https://www.skool.com/the-bitching-hour-3959/about Listen to Part 2 over on The Bitching Hour!

(Episode #8) What happens when you're the one everyone else leans on — and you're quietly running on empty? Today's conversation moves through the layered experience of holding space for others while running out of gas — from community leaders juggling motherhood and mission, to the ache of watching your inner growth outpace your outer reality. Zoey and Brittany get into the difference between burnout and self-abandonment, why delegation actually requires trust (not just asking for help), and why this whole collective season can feel like one long waiting room.Along the way, we sit with two community members in very different liminal spaces — one caught between an old identity and a new one, and one facing grief, instability, and the hard work of learning to feel safe inside her own body again.In this episode:(00:00) Introducing The Bitching Hour(02:00) A community leader's question: how do you create stability when you're holding everything for everyone else?(11:11) The real-life story that reframes what delegation actually requires(21:39) The "earth doula" download: why this collective season feels so unstable(30:00) A second question: caught between your old self and your new self, and the cost of staying in the waiting room(41:00) A raw question about grief, money, and not feeling safe anywhere — including in your own body(52:57) The house metaphor for reclaiming a home inside yourselfJoin The Bitching Hour for FREE with Zoey and Brittany: https://www.skool.com/the-bitching-hour-3959/about Listen to Part 2 over on The Bitching Hour!

(#351) Fashion isn't superficial. It's spell work.This week, Zoey sits down with celebrity stylist Lo VonRumpf. Lo walks us through his own journey with style and self expression: a love letter to the five-year-old with the Hello Kitty bag. That kid is now the man dressing some of the most recognizable people on the planet.Style, it turns out, was never just fabric for Lo. It was protection. It was survival. He walks us through fashion as manifestation – a way of becoming who you're meant to be one outfit at a time. Zoey pulls Lo's numerology into the mix too, (a birthday number 3 with a double 8 life path and destiny number), tying those numbers straight into who he is and how he moves through the world. They go behind the curtain of the entertainment industry, into the real fear that comes with fame, and into how he's managed to stay grounded through all of it.In this episode we're talking about:00:00 Welcome back to The Higher Self Hotline!04:18 Little Lo and Style Origins11:49 Bullying Resilience and Empathy22:29 Breaking Into Celebrity Styling32:58 Style Numbers and Justice35:16 Fear of Fame43:27 Power and Authenticity53:03 Fashion as ManifestationStay in touch with Lo:InstagramTikTok

She earned a PhD in Chemical Engineering, built a thriving consulting business, authored multiple books, and spent decades helping organizations grow through creativity and innovation. Yet behind the accomplishments was a woman living through years of emotional abuse, control, and isolation.After thirty years of marriage, Tess found herself leaving with little more than a few belongings, trusting God to lead her one step at a time into an entirely new life.Robin and Tess also explore what it means to discover freedom after years of believing the painful messages spoken by others. Together they discuss identity, purpose, community, and the healing that comes when we begin believing what God says about us instead.If you have ever felt unseen, stuck, rejected, or wondered if God still has a purpose for your life, this conversation will remind you that hope is never out of reach.Tess has a book coming out soon - “Project Me: Becoming a Creative Christian Leader”Stay connected with Tess: https://www.linkedin.com/in/teresajurgens/Connect with Reclaimed StoryIf this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend who needs the reminder that Jesus is still pursuing her.

(Episode #6) Have you ever felt like your body was keeping score of everything you never let yourself feel? This episode opens with one of the most tender conversations we've had in this container — a listener carrying kidney stones, chronic pain, and a grief she's never spoken aloud, and the gorgeous reframe that helps her stop fighting her own body.From there, a second listener brings a question so many of us are quietly circling: how do you actually practice acceptance when life hasn't been fair, and the people who hurt you are still smirking at you in the hallway? Zoey and Brittany trade grief theory, a dose of tough love around the "what if" game, and a wild, healing take on karma, past lives, and the video game we're all playing called Earth.In this episode: (00:00) Welcome to The Bitching Hour!(00:41) Kidney stones, miscarriage, and the body as messenger(07:24) Learning to trust your body again(25:51) A plant medicine detour and the importance of containment(32:19) The art of acceptance after workplace bullying(47:41) Breaking free from the "what if" game(52:00) Karma, the soul's life review, and trusting your own timingJoin The Bitching Hour for FREE with Zoey and Brittany: https://www.skool.com/the-bitching-hour-3959/about Listen to Part 2 over on The Bitching Hour!

Are you ready to feel the weight of everything you've been carrying finally lift? August is pulling all of us into a nine month, and that means the collective is being asked to release what's no longer ours to hold. If you've been sensing an ending on the horizon, you're not imagining it.This week, Zoey and Amelia are unpacking how July's personal numerology actually played out for each of them before turning their attention to the big one: August's collective month nine energy. Zoey shares a strong channeled download about what's coming to a close on a larger, even political scale, and the two get honest about grief, forgiveness, and what it really means to let something die so something else can begin.They talk through mortality, aging parents, and the rituals that help us say goodbye with love instead of white-knuckled resistance. It's a tender, clarifying episode for anyone who can feel a chapter closing and isn't sure how to let it.In this episode: 0:00 Welcome back to The Higher Self Hotline 1:09 Amelia's month one to month two shift, and the situationshit that sparked it 19:53 Building The Bitching Hour community in Zoey's personal month six 28:56 Trusting intuition over external answers in a personal month seven 36:30 What the collective month nine wants from you in August 45:05 Something is about to crumble, and Zoey channels why 52:08 Aging parents, mortality, and learning to let go with grace
What happens when an ordinary New Bedford whaling voyage turns into one of the most extraordinary survival stories in American maritime history? In this episode of The Photo Detective, I talk with bestselling maritime historian Eric Jay Dolin, author of The Wreck of the Mentor. Dolin has written more than seventeen acclaimed books on maritime history, environmental policy, pirates, privateers, hurricanes, and the American whaling industry, including Leviathan: The History of Whaling in America and A Furious Sky.We explore the tragic 1834 wreck of the Mentor, whose crew became stranded for years on the islands of Palau after their ship struck a reef. Erick shares how firsthand survivor accounts, newly digitized archival sources, and years of historical research allowed him to reconstruct this remarkable story of endurance, cultural encounters, and rescue. Along the way, we discuss why these stories matter to genealogists and family historians seeking to understand the lives—and sometimes mysterious disappearances—of their seafaring ancestors.Related Episodes:Episode 266: Military Images Magazine's Ron Coddington shares the stories behind Civil War PhotosEpisode 240: The Hidden Stories of Tattooing: Dr. Matt Lodder on Tattoos in Photography and SocietyLinks:Sign up for my newsletter.Watch my YouTube Channel.Like the Photo Detective Facebook Page so you get notified of my Facebook Live videos.Need help preserving your photos?

Episode 347Some of us were told we were too much before we even knew what we were feeling. Too angry, too sensitive, too intense. What if that rage was never the problem, but the messenger?This week I'm sitting down with one of my best friends and practitioners I admire most – sacred rage and boundaries coach Brittany Loeser.Brittany is a sacred rage and boundaries coach, a ceremonialist, and someone who helps women stop abandoning themselves and claim their power back. She takes us through her whole origin story: the years of being cast as the "bad" girl, masking inside organized religion and marriage, health issues that reframed everything, and using plant medicine (yes, even mushrooms at the farmer's market!). We chat about patriarchal conditioning in the body, the difference between repressed and reactive anger archetypes, why “just scream” isn't always the best advice, and how clear really is kind when it comes to setting boundaries. Plus, we announce something we've been cooking up together.

Who truly drove TR's presidency? Discover the untold story of Theodore Roosevelt and the Tennis Cabinet, the diverse, athletic advisors who shaped his legacy.Resources:【"Theodore Roosevelt and the Tennis Cabinet" By Michael Cullinane】https://a.co/d/0a7YRTmp【Connect with Michael Cullinane】https://www.michaelpatrickcullinane.comDid you know Theodore Roosevelt's most trusted advisors weren't traditional politicians, but a diverse group of tennis-playing frontiersmen, foreign ambassadors, and bankers? In this episode of Books and Looks, Blaine DeSantis sits down with presidential historian Michael Patrick Cullinane to explore his groundbreaking new book, "Theodore Roosevelt and the Tennis Cabinet". Tune in to discover how this unconventional inner circle bypassed traditional bureaucracy to establish the foundation of the modern American presidency. Michael reveals how TR's bipartisan, multi-class network—featuring everyone from "Deadwood" sheriff Seth Bullock to a wolf-wrangling stuntman—became the driving force behind monumental conservation efforts and historical trust-busting. We delve into the grueling physical fitness tests required to gain the President's ear and explore the striking parallels between Progressive Era administrative politics and today's government efficiency debates. But what caused the sudden collapse of this loyal advisory group, and why did William Howard Taft literally bulldoze their legacy? Listen closely to uncover how a skinny-dipping French ambassador and a record-breaking wave of executive orders forever altered American history.

Send us Fan MailWhat if we've been looking at the Samaritan woman through the wrong lens all along?In this powerful teaching, Bible teacher Leanna Magelli invites us to take a fresh look at one of the most familiar stories in Scripture, John 4, the Samaritan woman at the well. As Leanna digs into the geography, history, and context surrounding this passage, she uncovers surprising connections between the woman at the well and Dinah's story in Genesis.She explores what happened in the land of Shechem, a place marked by abuse, violence, betrayal, and brokenness, and why Jesus intentionally chose to walk through Samaria and stop at that particular well.She paints a picture of a woman carrying deep pain and loss, a woman Jesus pursued, saw, and entrusted with His message.If you've ever struggled with shame, felt overlooked, carried wounds from your past, or wondered if God truly sees you, this episode is for you.This episode is provided by our Sponsor, Southwest Investment Advisors - "As financial advisors, they spend their careers helping people plan for the future. While supporting organizations like ours that assist families and provide compassionate care. This aligns with their commitment to helping individuals and communities thrive."You can connect with them at www.siatucson.com. Now let's get the hot take on the woman at the well... In This Episode We Discuss:• Why Jesus "had to" go through Samaria• The connection between John 4 and Genesis 33-34• What happened in Shechem and why it matters• A different perspective on the Samaritan woman's five husbands• How Jesus approaches our deepest wounds• Why God consistently values, protects, and elevates women throughout Scripture• The difference between seeing yourself through the world's lens versus God's lens• How Jesus redeems what has been done to us and what we have done• Why suffering and joy often walk hand in hand• What it means to allow God to reclaim your storyKey ScripturesJohn 4:1-42Genesis 33-34Acts 1:8A Final EncouragementThe Samaritan woman didn't have to explain her pain to Jesus. He already knew. He knew her story, her losses, her wounds, and He still chose her.The same is true for us.Jesus knows the things we've done, the things that have been done to us, and the places we still carry shame. Yet He continues to pursue us with love, offering healing, redemption, and living water.Whatever your "Shechem" may be, the place marked by pain, loss, disappointment, betrayal, or brokenness, Jesus is willing to meet you there.Because you are seen. You are known. You are loved.And your story is not over.Enjoy more of Leanna's Bible teachings as well as her Pastors at https://www.youtube.com/@FCC_TUCSONConnect with Reclaimed StoryWebsite: reclaimedstory.comDownload the Reclaimed Story App anywhere you grab your apps.Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube ~ @reclaimedstoryListen to more episodes of Living the Reclaimed Life Podcast anywhere you listen to podcasts.

Send us Fan MailFew figures loom larger in aviation history than Amelia Earhart. Yet after hundreds of books, countless documentaries, and nearly a century of speculation, how much do we actually know about the woman behind the legend?In this episode, Laurie Gwen Shapiro talks about her bestselling book, The Aviator and the Showman. Drawing on newly digitized interviews, archival discoveries, and years of research, Laurie argues that the real mystery of Amelia Earhart isn't what happened to her at the end of her final flight—it's understanding who she was as a person.We explore Earhart's journey from social worker and hobby pilot to international celebrity, the complicated role publisher and promoter George Palmer Putnam played in her fame, and the tension between aviation skill, public image, and advocacy. We also discuss the extraordinary ways Earhart used her platform to champion both aviation and women's rights.Along the way, we venture into the world of some of Earhart's remarkable contemporaries, including Eleanor Smith, Louise Thaden, Lady Mary Heath, Bessie Coleman, and Jackie Cochran. We also talk about the challenges—and rewards—of writing history that is deeply researched, rigorously sourced, and unafraid to embrace the complexity of its subjects.Whether you're a lifelong Amelia Earhart enthusiast or someone who has wondered why she continues to captivate the public imagination nearly a century later, I think you'll find this conversation both thought-provoking and illuminating. And if you're a writer hoping to dig into a different historical mystery, you'll learn from Laurie's expertise as an author, journalist, and professor of journalism.

We unpack his claims regarding underground bases, accelerated aging, consciousness transfer, and the dark intersection of cloning with trauma-based mind control.

In his revelatory book Original Love, Zen meditation master, award winning author, poet, and renowned spiritual teacher Henry Shukman,offers a tantalizing proposition. At any moment there is a powerful possibility available to us.One that involves piercing the illusion of separateness,And experiencing a deeper and more expansive sense of connection. In these moments which are deemed by some as ‘awakening'it can seem as if a spell has been broken.It can feel as though are waking up from a sort of dream as we see, feel, and know that there is in fact no separation. There are no borders. There is no “other.” At some level, everything and everyone are connected. Henry argues that these experiences can be the single most healing, positively life-transforming events that can happen to us. Well documented for centuries, across different wisdom traditions, and now explored through scientific research,Experiences of 'waking up' to our interconnected nature often lead to large positive shifts in our priorities.These moments often marked by a move from self-protection and self-promotion toward a natural flow of compassion and concern for others and the world.This boundless experience is what Henry calls Original Love. Today we decided to re-release this episode as part of our mini series on love. In this conversation, (originally published at the beginning of 2025), Henry and I will explore the possibility of Original Love. An experience that Henry beautifully reminds us becomes more likely When we begin to:Allow whatever is arising in the moment to simply be as it is, Meet our lived experience with greater curiosity, presence, and love,And when we begin to loosen the grip of control as we learn to increasingly relax into uncertainty.

Why is it so hard to speak up even when you know something's wrong? This is the question that physician, award-winning organizational psychologist, and tenured Professor at Cornell University, Dr. Sunita Sah has been obsessed with for decades. In her illuminating book: Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands YesShe asks us:"How many times have you wanted to object, disagree, or opt out of something—but ended up swallowing your words, shaking your head, and just going along?" And then she invites us:To imagine the life we want to lead, not the one we're willing to accept.

Send us Fan MailWhy do some diets work beautifully for one person… and completely backfire for another?In this episode of It's Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with Neha Shah, founder of Diaspora Nutrition, to explore a more nuanced question:Should we be eating based on our ancestry?Together, they unpack the growing conversation around personalized nutrition — and whether our genetics, lineage, and cultural food patterns play a meaningful role in how our bodies respond to food.This conversation moves beyond trendy diets and into something deeper:understanding the context of your body.They explore:•Whether ancestry actually impacts metabolism, digestion, and food tolerance•The science behind lactase persistence, amylase variation, and microbiome adaptation•Why “eat for your ancestry” can be helpful… or overly simplified•What to consider if you have mixed or unknown heritage•Whether genetic and microbiome testing is worth it — or overhyped•Why many women in midlife suddenly feel more sensitive to foods they used to tolerate•How to approach nutrition with curiosity instead of controlThis episode is especially powerful for women in their 40s and 50s who feel like their body is changing — and want a more personalized, intelligent way to support it.Because maybe the better question isn't:“What diet works?”It's: “What does my body actually respond well to now?”⸻

In today's episode, I'm getting spicy and calling out all the hormone BS that's flooding the wellness space right now. If you've been anywhere near Instagram lately, you know everyone's suddenly a "hormone expert" selling you magical solutions - but most of what you're hearing is either oversimplified, incomplete, or straight-up misinformation with pretty branding. I'm breaking down the hormone hills I will die on, and trust me, some of these are going to ruffle feathers. We're talking about why bioidentical hormones aren't the magic fix everyone thinks they are, why GLP-1s are tools not cheat codes, how losing weight can actually make you feel worse if your detox pathways aren't supported, and why that "hormone balancing smoothie" you saw on TikTok isn't going to cure your PCOS. I'm also calling out the so-called hormone specialists who have zero actual hormone education but are selling you nine supplements after running one test. This episode is for anyone who's tired of the buzzwords and Band-Aid solutions and actually wants to understand what it takes to heal your hormones from the root. Fair warning - I'm not holding back on this one. Let's dive in!Resources + LinksReady to learn more about working with us?

In today's episode, I'm sitting down with my friend Blake Guichet to talk about something that's been heavy on my heart lately - homeschooling. If you've been following along, you know this has been a huge conversation in our house, and honestly, I selfishly picked this topic because we're right in the middle of wrestling through it ourselves. Blake is a writer, podcaster, and digital creator known for her clear, grounded perspective on faith, culture, and everyday life. Blake has built a trusted voice through her long-running podcast, thoughtful commentary, and intentional approach to online community. As a full-time content creator and homeschooling mom, she blends personal insight, biblical wisdom, and humor to help women navigate modern life with clarity and confidence. She lives in Louisiana with her husband and two daughters.Blake has been homeschooling for two years now, and she's getting real about the four-year journey it took to get her husband on board, why she finally pulled her girls out of their school, and what their days actually look like now. We're talking about the fears that hold us back - like "but what about sports?" and "what if I can't teach them physics?" - and why redefining success for our kids might be the most important thing we do as parents. If you've ever wondered whether your kids' nervous systems are paying the price for traditional school structure, or if you're tired of handing them over to a system for eight hours a day only to have them come home completely dysregulated, this conversation is for you. We're not here to bash teachers or make anyone feel guilty - we're just asking the hard questions about what we're actually trying to accomplish in raising our children.

In today's episode, I'm sitting down with my friend Rachel to talk about something that got wildly controversial when I posted about it on social media - shared finances in marriage. You guys had SO many strong opinions about where your money goes, who manages it, and whether couples should combine accounts or keep things separate. We're getting into all of it - the psychological and emotional baggage we carry around money, how our upbringings shape our financial decisions, why some women hide purchases from their husbands (and why that's actually financial infidelity), and what it really means to build trust through your finances. Rachel shares about her book "The Money Mandate" and we talk about everything from the spiritual agreements we make around money to why your husband probably can't be your mother when it comes to noticing you need new clothes. This conversation is honest, practical, and probably going to challenge some things you've believed about money in marriage. Whether you share everything or keep it separate, this episode is going to make you think differently about what financial intimacy really looks like.

In today's episode, I'm talking about something that's seriously missing from the functional health conversation - and it might be the exact reason your body isn't healing no matter how many supplements you take or protocols you follow. We spend so much time talking about balancing hormones, regulating our nervous systems, and fixing our gut, but what if the real issue isn't what you're doing, it's the environment you're doing it in? I'm getting real about how you can't fully heal your body if you're refusing to address what's happening in your marriage and motherhood. Your nervous system is constantly scanning for safety, and if your home has unspoken tension, emotional disconnection, or those little micro-ruptures that never get repaired, your body stays stuck in protection mode. I'm sharing some personal stories and a client example of how this actually plays out, why more marriage therapy won't work if you refuse to look in the mirror, and how it only takes one person - one person choosing repair - to start changing the environment of your home so your body can finally exhale. This one's gonna hit different, so let's dive in!Resources + LinksReady to learn more about working with us?
