DopeyCon Tickets: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2345507PATREON!: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastThis week on Dopey! Dave's friend Anthony from the beach brings a lifetime of hardcore Long Island Dopey: childhood exorcisms, crack, heroin, bad checks, pistol-whippings, and getting shot in his father's church van—with ten bundles of dope hidden in the dashboard and a kitten along for the ride.Growing up with a preacher father, a painful family breakup, and a frightening stay in a psychiatric hospital at thirteen, Anthony found acceptance in weed, deli work, and the nickname “Stoner.” Then cocaine turned into crack, crack turned into heroin, and years disappeared into rehabs, shelters, hustles, and the conviction that he could always land on his feet. Along the way: stealing his mother's wedding ring, selling the car she bought him, smoking crack on the ride to rehab, and shopping for treatment like he was booking a resort vacation.Anthony tells Dave about a massive heroin habit, a robbery crew that missed the $5,000 in his pocket, living in his father's church parking lot, and watching his car hood fly off on Sunrise Highway—then continuing straight to the dealer. After surviving throat cancer and returning to drugs, a cocaine relapse with his girlfriend Maggie brought terrifying paranoia, imaginary pursuers, and another attempt to cast out demons with his dad.But the story doesn't end there. Anthony shares what finally changed: wanting to stop, getting honest, working the steps, going to therapy, rebuilding his relationship, and returning to school to become an addiction counselor. Today, the victories include a wedding on the horizon, matching bedding, seasonal dish towels, and spoons that haven't been used to cook drugs.PLUS! DopeyCon preparations, a kratom company's sponsorship offer, Wiley's bloody-rig-and-fire-pit meth voicemail, a listener's desperate struggle with alcohol, an ephedrine experiment gone wrong, and the Kevin O'Leary backlash. Dave reads the love and hate and considers what it means when the show he makes is also “our show.”All that AND more! On this New New New SUPER CLASSIC NEW episode of that good old DOPEY Shoe - errrr Show! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Do you ever feel like you're just… bad at marketing?You don't want to become an influencer. You don't want to post every day, chase an algorithm, manufacture hot takes, or turn every part of your life into content.And maybe that's not actually a problem.In this solo episode of Selling the Couch, Mel explores why conventional marketing advice can feel so uncomfortable for therapists, and why the very skills clinicians have spent years developing may actually be some of the most valuable content skills in an increasingly AI-generated world.Therapists are trained to listen deeply. To notice nuance. To build trust slowly. To center the other person. To sit with complexity instead of rushing toward a simple answer.Conventional online marketing often asks us to do nearly the opposite.So what if you stopped trying to market like an influencer and started creating content more like a therapist?In this episode:Why Mel has no desire to become a therapist or social media influencerWhy conventional marketing can feel especially uncomfortable for cliniciansThe difference between performing online and genuinely connectingWhy AI-generated content may make real human perspective even more valuableWhat therapists already understand about building trustWhy depth can matter more than content volumeHow podcasts can create familiarity and trust over timeWhy consistency doesn't have to mean posting every dayHow specificity helps people feel genuinely seenWhy your clinical training can become an advantage when creating contentThe belief that may actually be keeping therapists from sharing their ideasThree questions to ask yourself before creating your next piece of contentOne of the biggest ideas in this episode is simple:You're not trying to build an audience. You're building trust.And those require very different approaches.Instead of asking how you can create more content, Mel offers a different model.So if you've ever thought, “I'm just not good at marketing,” this episode may help you rethink what good marketing can actually look like for a therapist.--Ready to build income and impact beyond the therapy room?Haven is our small, intentional community for therapists who want to turn their expertise into work that can reach and serve more people — without simply adding more clients or more hours to their calendar.Whether that looks like writing, speaking, podcasting, YouTube, a course, or something else entirely, Haven gives you thoughtful frameworks, practical support, and a community of colleagues to help you build it in a way that feels sustainable for your life.Haven is open for enrollment - join us: sellingthecouch.com/haven

You've just spent a fortune renovating, your bank account is empty, and now you've a load of empty rooms and a massive shopping list...Couch. Dining table. Chairs. Beds. Side tables. Armchairs. Coffee table. Console. Bar stools…This week on Don't Waste Your Money On…, we're talking furniture, and why one of the most expensive mistakes you can make at the end of a renovation is trying to furnish the entire house at once.We talk about why rooms often come together better when you buy slowly, how living in a space changes what you realise you actually need, and why we'd rather invest in one key piece and let everything else build around it over time. We also get into secondhand furniture, Adverts finds, vintage pieces, IKEA stopgaps, reupholstery, recovering old sofas, clearance finds, and how some of the best pieces in our homes cost almost nothing.What we coverWhy there is no deadline to have your home “finished”The danger of panic-buying furniture at the end of a renovationWhy we'd invest in one anchor piece per roomLiving in a room before deciding what it really needsHow furniture layouts can change once you actually use the spaceBuying the bare minimum when you move inAdverts, DoneDeal, Marketplace, salvage yards, and secondhand shopsWhy patience makes you better at spotting good vintage piecesKate's half-price dream dining table€50 Aldi nesting tables that became one of the most asked-about pieces in Kate's houseIKEA sofas as temporary or long-term optionsBuying furniture with removable and replaceable coversJenny's €50 Vision Ireland couchKate's free BoConcept couchReupholstering and recovering furniture instead of replacing itWhen custom furniture really is worth spending onWhy mixing old, new, inexpensive, vintage, and custom pieces gives a room more character The big takeawayThere's no deadline to have your home furnishedBuy the things you genuinely need. Invest in the important pieces. Then give yourself time to collect the rest.Once you've lived in the house, you'll know where you actually put your drink, which way you naturally sit, how many dining chairs you really use, what storage is missing, and which empty corner needs filling. Places and products mentioned:AdvertsDoneDealFacebook MarketplaceVision IrelandIKEA HILLTARP sofaBemz / replacement IKEA sofa coversCA DesignThe Vintage HubGaff InteriorsSecond Story FurnishingFollow the podcast on Instagram @ripitup_podcast_official, or follow us - Jenny is @workerscottage and Kate is @victorianrathmines

Love Thy Neighbor: Episode Notes Episode: "The Dinner Divorce" (LTN48) Hosts: Tom Vann, Colette Fehr, Dan Dennis | Guest: None Sponsors / Ad Reads No sponsor segments or ad reads in this episode. Segment Rundown Cold open: intro debate. The hosts argue over whether they need to introduce themselves at the top of every show. Tom calls it pointless since listeners already know who they are. They float making a new intro with names in it for year two, to mark the show's anniversary. What's a food divorce? Colette talks about her recent news appearance on "food divorce," which is when couples eat separately and each person handles their own meals. She puts it alongside other trends like sleep divorce. Dan asks why those couples even live together. The Dennis family dinner. Dan says he and Andrea sit down to dinner together every night, while Maisie often eats at dance. He calls the ritual almost as important as sex because it's when Andrea opens up, including her project manager work gossip. He also covers meal kits like Home Chef and Blue Apron and his weekly meal prep for Maisie. Colette on connection rituals. Colette explains that shared meals are one of the few unstructured connection rituals couples have left. People who grew up eating as a family tend to keep doing it. She shares how she ate alone in her room as a teenager after her parents divorced, making prank conference calls. Tom at the head of the table. Tom's family eats together too, and he likes sitting at the head of the table. He jokes that nobody should introduce themselves there either. He complains that his kids share nothing, eat slowly, and ignore his celebrity stories (he recently talked to the actor who played Puddy on Seinfeld). Colette suggests word games to liven things up, and Tom says his car-ride games haven't gone well. Dan's date nights. Dan says he's recently enjoyed date nights at a local tavern known for crispy pizza, where he mostly just listens to Andrea talk. Quiet Kobe. Tom's wife took their youngest son Max to Hamilton at Dr. Phillips, so Tom took his oldest son Tommy to Kobe Japanese Steakhouse. The two barely talked all night, then Tommy turned on the TV as soon as they got home. Lots of jokes about the oil, the "double white" rice, and the aftermath. Tom also recalls quiet car rides with the men in his family, including a story that started with "one time I killed a man." Companionable silence. Colette reframes the Kobe night: small talk isn't necessarily more connecting than silence, and parents shouldn't feel guilty about quiet moments. Dan and Andrea both thought the outing was great. Dan mentions upcoming one-on-one time with Maisie while Andrea travels for work. In defense of food divorce. Colette says her household basically has a food divorce because of schedules. She wants quiet after a day of doing therapy, and she and her husband still share meals a few times a week. She also points to GLP-1 use and the mental load of meal planning, often carried by women. Her takeaway: do what works, but make time to be present. "What's for dinner?" prank. A host describes his favorite prank: asking his wife what's for dinner at her most stressed moment. It works every time. Email: friend in a scam. "Baltimore Beef Stew" writes about a friend putting $50,000 into an MLM-style unclaimed property scheme despite being warned. Colette says he's already said his piece. Adults have to make their own choices, and he can set limits on what he'll do if it goes badly. Florida Treasure Hunt. The hosts explain that Florida's unclaimed property site, fltreasurehunt.gov, is a real government website even though the name sounds like a scam. They guess the scheme is built around middlemen charging people for money they could claim themselves. When it's your money too. Colette says it's different when a bad decision will land on you financially, like an elderly parent you'd have to support. She shares that she once voiced doubts when her late mother gave money to a questionable religious organization, then let it go. Ask before advising. Tom admits he's a blunt truth teller with the people he loves. His example is laughing off the Grizz's AI-assisted spy novel, and his wife says he comes off like a jerk. Colette's fix is to ask whether someone wants your opinion first. She notes that offhand comments can stick with people for years, and that it's okay to say you're not ready to hear someone's take. Tom's coward approach. Tom says he nods, checks his watch, and then says "that's not going to work" after the person leaves. Also a riff on a past helicopter pilot dream. You don't have a crystal ball. A host says he often stays quiet and then watches things play out just as he predicted. Colette counters that she has seen couples she privately doubted turn things around. She says it's unethical for therapists to tell clients whether to end a relationship, and references Dolly Parton hearing her plans wouldn't work. Joke about the Nigerian prince actually showing up. Email: wife in a hard season. A longtime listener says his 47-year-old wife is moody and down on herself, their kids are about to leave home, one child is struggling, and she has open heart surgery coming up. His compliments aren't landing. Colette says it could be any mix of perimenopause, health stress, empty nest, or feelings about the marriage. She recommends a conversation, possibly a few therapy sessions, and simply being present instead of trying to fix it. Name your own experience. Tom riffs on everything a husband should never say. Colette advises using "I" statements, like saying you feel helpless and worried, instead of telling the other person what's wrong with them. Empathy between genders. Tom says he's glad he never has to go through "the change." Colette lists what women deal with, and Tom agrees men have it pretty easy. Colette warns against letting online anger, tied to a recent news story, turn into hating all men. Perimenopause 101. Colette explains that perimenopause can start in the 30s (a chat room listener said hers began at 39) and that 51 is the average age of menopause. Technically, menopause is a single day, one year after the last period. She shares that she's had few symptoms, and that a past uterine ablation makes it hard to tell where she is. Next week teaser and close. Colette teases a story about a possible perimenopausal outburst that "traumatized" her husband. Chat room member Ryan coined "Quiet Kobe," and Colette jokes her book's paperback will be called The Cost of Kobe. Plugs and sign-off.

Some days just feel heavy. You're discouraged, comparing yourself to everyone around you, questioning your progress, and suddenly your brain has decided everything is terrible. We've both been there—and in this birthday episode, we're talking about what actually helps us move through a bad day without pretending we're fine or forcing ourselves into positivity.We also get into the very midlife realities of getting older, becoming more aware of time and mortality, figuring out what we want the “back nine” of life to look like, and why having something to anticipate can make such a difference. Plus, we talk anxiety, gratitude, career disappointment, regret versus disappointment, and the surprising lesson Laura pulled from Good to Great about resilience, patience, and staying out of the dreaded “doom loop.”Episode Highlights[0:03] - What to do when you're having a bad day and everything feels heavy[1:21] - Birthday reflections, getting settled, and why a quiet day can be the perfect celebration in midlife[4:35] - How what we consider “fun” changes as we get older[5:18] - Kids moving farther away and the surprisingly existential side of becoming an empty nester[7:29] - Feeling grateful to be alive, healthy, and increasingly aware of how precious time really is[8:16] - Turning 49, mortality, aging parents, and realizing there may be fewer healthy years ahead than we imagine[10:47] - Careers heating up in midlife while simultaneously thinking about retirement and the next season of life[12:48] - European summers, slowing down, and intentionally designing the life we want[13:34] - Why “anticipation is my drug of choice”—and the power of having something to look forward to[15:18] - Have we lost the ability to anticipate anything in an instant-gratification world?[16:49] - Anxiety, negativity bias, and learning to notice what's actually beautiful in your life right now[17:50] - Gratitude as a way to shift your attention without dismissing difficult emotions[18:35] - Colette's really bad day: career comparison, disappointment, envy, and feeling behind the pack[21:56] - Laura's bad-day rants and why sometimes tomorrow genuinely feels completely different[23:19] - Why trying to cheerlead yourself out of difficult feelings can backfire[24:42] - Taking useful information from disappointment—and why regret may hurt more than trying and failing[25:42] - The power of “not yet” and lessons from Jim Collins' Good to Great[26:57] - The Stockdale Paradox: accepting reality while maintaining faith that things can work out[28:37] - The “flywheel” versus the “doom loop”—and what both can teach us about our own goals[29:17] - Why a good kvetch can help, as long as you don't set up permanent residence there[30:45] - Patience, momentum, anticipation, and staying excited enough about your goals to keep going[31:01] - Our reminder for your next bad day: feel it, reach out, don't overthink it—and remember tomorrow may feel completely differentIf today's discussion resonated with you or sparked curiosity, please rate, follow, and share Insights from the Couch with others.

For our Season 11 premiere, we discuss dissociation--the range of severity, how it shows up in session, and how we typically respond in our own practices. This is a big topic; it feels like we only scratched the surface. But if your education was anything like ours, dissociation was barely addressed, if at all. We hope this conversation can get you thinking about how you can better respond to it in your work.**********Untangling the Ties that Bind is written specifically as a resource to recommend to your clients working through issues related to enmeshment, parentification, and setting boundaries with family members.

Italian photographer Gabriele Galimberti has spent years entering the private worlds of people he had never met. In Toy Stories, he photographed children around the world surrounded by their favorite toys. In Home Pharma, he portrayed people alongside the medicines they keep at home. And for his CouchSurfing project, he traveled through 58 countries, staying with perfect strangers. https://gabrielegalimberti.com/projects/In this conversation, Gabriele Galimberti takes us behind the photographs and into the encounters that made them possible. How do you convince parents to let you photograph their children? How do you ask someone to expose something as personal as the contents of their medicine cabinet? And what happens when you arrive in a foreign country and put your trust in someone you have never met?We talk about photography as a way of meeting people and crossing cultural boundaries and about what these intimate encounters reveal about our homes, possessions, vulnerabilities and relationships with strangers.

Manfred Lütz, Psychiater und Theologe aus Köln, hält die Welt für nicht verrückter als früher, die Lage aber für gefährlicher als in der Kuba-Krise. Die Klage von Friedrich Merz über ein Klima des Verdrusses nennt er die promovierte Form des Klagens: „Das Klagen über das Klagen, das können nur Deutsche.“ Die Kommunikation des Kanzlers hält Lütz für eine Katastrophe. Der Union rät er, die Wut der AfD-Wähler endlich aufzugreifen: „43 Prozent der Wähler in Sachsen-Anhalt können nicht verrückt sein, würde ich als Psychiater mal behaupten.“ [04:52]Gesundheitsminister Carsten Linnemann bekommt seine Pflegereform an diesem Mittwoch möglicherweise nicht ins Kabinett, weil die SPD blockiert.

#309 - What Movement Gave Us | Maria RodriguezThis week on the podcast, we're sharing Maria Rodriguez's story and what movement gave her. Maria once hated running and thought it was completely out of the question, but over the course of her Couch to 5K journey, her confidence grew and something that once felt impossible started to feel possible. We also celebrate Joann Rivera, Diane Shorter, Danielle Onyango, and Beth Heck, and share how the support of Clarity Contractors is helping make Danielle's first 5K journey possible.

Pippa Hudson speaks to founder, Kerry Hoffman, about her NGO Souper Troupers, their last four years of supporting and helping 1800 people and their current plight of purchasing their Woodstock building ‘The Humanity Hub’ at R6 Million, to continue the good work. Lunch with Pippa Hudson is your respite from hard news, a space to explore, taste, read, and reflect. Hosted by former journalist Pippa Hudson, the show embraces lifestyle in all its forms, guided by her adventurous spirit. Each week also covers consumer issues, plus conversations on health, wealth and the environment. Thank you for listening.

Amy responds to a listener asking about her weight training and Kat shares a simple 4-minute Tabata workout you can do today, no gym or overwhelm required. We also dig into a real parenting dilemma, should kids be forced to hug relatives, or is it okay to let them say no? Plus, an important, gently delivered clarification from a pediatrician about a health organization that sounds official but isn't the source you think it is (good to know before you trust the next parenting headline you see online). And of course, some fun with listeners who relate to Patrick calling his dad "daddy," including one caller's genius compromise nickname. Whether you're trying to move your body more, raise a kid with healthy boundaries, or just feel a little less alone today, there's something here for you.

Sigmund Bloom and Rotoworld's Pat Daugherty sit On the Couch to sift through the rubble of Week 2 and figure out what fantasy GMs can actually build on. It's a full hour of fantasy football triage — identifying the teams and players who suddenly deserve more respect, the ones who look like dead ends, and the surprising options who might save your season if you act fast. This week's couch session hits quarterback chaos, breakout receivers, trade dilemmas, coaching shifts, and the early‑season mirages you need to avoid. If Week 2 felt like a natural disaster, this is your recovery plan.   ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 — Will Jameis Winston revive the Giants offense 06:27 — How to approach Puka Nacua going forward 13:58 — Should we buy into Bryce Young's hot start 17:27 — Will Tyler Shough remain a top‑10 fantasy QB 21:32 — Why the Bills' coaching shift unlocked Josh Allen 23:50 — Don't trade Josh Allen 27:45 — Should you trade Brock Bowers 32:54 — Which Chicago Bears offense is the real one 34:35 — Which Bears should we be buying 37:50 — Should we trade for Colston Loveland 40:43 — Should we trade for Kyler Murray 45:24 — What is going on with the Chargers   the audible, footballguys, fantasy football, football, nfl, nfl draft, waiver wire, sleepers, start or sit, cecil lammey, sigmund bloom

What happens when the life you've been building toward suddenly has to change?In this solo episode of Selling the Couch, Mel shares a personal update about entering a new season of caregiving, and the difficult questions it has raised about business, ambition, family, and what success actually looks like when life gets heavy.For several years, Mel knew that increased caregiving responsibilities for aging parents would eventually become part of his family's story. This summer, that season arrived.It meant selling a recently paid-off home, temporarily moving in with his in-laws, searching for a home designed for multigenerational living, and reconsidering some of the plans he had for the next chapter of his work and life.But this episode isn't really about having the perfect plan for caregiving.It's about something much more human: What do you do when the season you're actually living doesn't match the one you planned for?Mel shares three ideas he keeps coming back to as he navigates this transition:Why margin may be one of the most important assets you can build into your businessThe question he now asks before taking on something newWhy caregiving requires far more flexibility than most schedules account forWhat it means to let ambition bend to the reality of your current seasonWhy slowing down doesn't mean giving up on the things you want to buildHow he's intentionally designing The Unshakeable Golfer around greater flexibilityWhy his definition of success now has to include his mental healthThe difference between building toward “more” and building toward “enough”Why hard seasons call for presence over productivity and flexibility over optimizationOne of the hardest parts of entrepreneurship is that we don't build our businesses in a vacuum.Life continues happening alongside the goals, launches, revenue targets, and plans we've made.And sometimes, life asks us to change those plans.--Ready to build income and impact beyond the therapy room?Haven is our small, intentional community for therapists who want to turn their expertise into work that can reach and serve more people — without simply adding more clients or more hours to their calendar.Whether that looks like writing, speaking, podcasting, YouTube, a course, or something else entirely, Haven gives you thoughtful frameworks, practical support, and a community of colleagues to help you build it in a way that feels sustainable for your life.Haven is open for enrollment - join us: sellingthecouch.com/haven

Have you ever wondered why you keep choosing emotionally unavailable people, getting stuck in the same relationship patterns, or craving closeness while simultaneously being terrified of it? So much of what drives us in our adult relationships is happening beneath the surface—and often, the survival strategies that helped us as children become the unconscious patterns we repeat as adults.In this episode, we sit down with renowned psychoanalyst and bestselling author Dr. Galit Atlas to talk about her new book, Come Closer, and the six core childhood wounds we carry into adulthood: the frightened child, melancholic child, ashamed child, invisible child, guilty child, and chosen child. We get personal about our own childhood roles (because of course we do!) and explore emotional unavailability, parentification, shame, intimacy, vulnerability, and why understanding the child we once were can completely change the way we see ourselves and our relationships today.Episode Highlights[0:03] - Why do we keep repeating the relationship patterns we desperately want to change?[2:04] - Dr. Galit Atlas explains how childhood experiences, defenses, and survival strategies become adult relationship patterns.[4:11] - Laura gets personal about being both the “chosen” and “invisible” child—and how those roles still show up in adulthood.[6:06] - What psychoanalysis actually is and why what we see on the surface may be a defense against deeper feelings.[10:32] - Why part of us wants self-awareness while another part is really, really afraid of what we might discover.[13:58] - Meet the six childhood wounds—and why most of us carry more than one.[16:50] - The invisible child: the urge to disappear while secretly longing to be truly seen and known.[18:37] - The chosen child, parentification, and the complicated adult consequences of being a parent's confidant or caretaker.[23:31] - Colette opens up about being her father's confidant as a child and why feeling “special” can make the chosen-child dynamic so difficult to recognize.[26:14] - When childhood wounds overlap: being chosen, unseen, and emotionally responsible for others at the same time.[27:42] - Why we can desperately crave intimacy and still unconsciously choose relationships where true closeness feels impossible.[29:24] - Childhood wounds aren't always trauma: how ordinary losses, family chaos, illness, divorce, and emotional disconnection shape us.[32:15] - The ashamed child, fear of rejection, cycles of blame, and the pursuit of the “perfect” partner.[35:54] - How do we actually heal? Giving the child inside us a “seat at the table” and hearing our story from their perspective.[39:57] - Recognizing when a wounded child has “the wheel” in our adult relationships.[41:13] - Why even years of therapy and self-work don't mean we're finished discovering our unconscious patterns.[42:50] - The melancholic child: unprocessed loss, separation anxiety, and the surprising ways childhood grief can repeat in adult relationships.[47:42] - How curiosity, compassion, and awareness can help us challenge old relationship patterns and move toward authentic self-acceptance.Links & ResourcesWild Analysis with Galit Atlas: wildanalysiswithgalitatlas.substack.comDr. Galit Atlas' Website: www.drgalitatlas.comIf today's discussion resonated with you or sparked curiosity, please rate, follow, and share Insights from the Couch with others.

We're answering two emails that hit close to home for a lot of listeners. First, Sarah, 32, writes in feeling like a stranger to herself after a lifetime of being whoever everyone else needed her to be, and asks how to actually start figuring out who she is. We talk through some real starting points, from noticing what energizes you to practicing choosing for yourself in small ways. Then Mary, 47, shares a vulnerable question about a long, complicated relationship with food and her body, and asks how you know if something is "serious enough" to get help for, even when you're still functioning and showing up for your life. We talk through why the answer to that question might be simpler than she thinks. Get some Feeling Things merch by clicking HERE!

What if hosting a meaningful retreat didn't require a luxury resort, a huge audience, or 50 people in the room?In this episode of Selling the Couch, Mel sits down with licensed psychologist Dr. Shawn Hondorp to talk about what she's learned from creating small, intimate retreats — including the logistics, the challenges, and the deeper value of bringing people together in person.Shawn shares how her first retreat started with just eight people at an Airbnb near her home, how she finds and chooses vendors, and why she believes relationships and the energy people bring to an experience matter just as much as their skills.They also talk candidly about the parts of hosting retreats that don't always make it into the highlight reel: what happens when a vendor gets sick at the last minute, how to decide what to delegate, what it feels like when a retreat doesn't fill as quickly as you hoped, and how Shawn has learned to define success on her own terms.In this conversation:What a small-scale retreat can actually look likeWhy Shawn started with an Airbnb and a group of eightHow far in advance she plans her retreatsHow she finds chefs, movement instructors, massage therapists, and other vendorsWhy she prefers to work with people whose services she has personally experiencedWhat to delegate when hosting a retreatHow knowing your “zone of genius” can shape the experience you createWhat Shawn has learned from hosting retreats that don't immediately fillWhy creativity, play, and in-person community may matter even more in an increasingly AI-driven worldHow to start exploring a retreat idea without overcomplicating itOne of the biggest themes in this conversation is that your version of a successful retreat doesn't have to look like someone else's.You can start small. You can build around the kind of connection you naturally create. And you can bring in people who are gifted at the pieces that aren't your strengths.As Shawn puts it, sometimes the first step is simply asking: What am I craving?If you've had the idea of hosting a retreat sitting in the back of your mind but have felt overwhelmed by everything it would take to make it happen, this conversation offers a thoughtful and refreshingly real place to start.Learn more about Dr. Shawn Hondorp and her work:drshawnhondorp.comConnect with Shawn on Instagram:@innovativetherapistListen to The Innovative Therapist Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts.--RESOURCES Join our FREE WORKSHOP: Your LinkedIn Profile is Either Working For You Right Now — or It Isn'tJoin Mel on September 18th for a free 60-minute live workshop designed to help therapists turn LinkedIn into a 24/7 silent referral partner—without becoming a content machine.

Description:  Sigmund Bloom and Fantasy Pros Pat Fitzmaurice sort through all of the Week 1 outcomes to determine which are signal and which are noise.
